12 week appointment for baby two

 This is our sweet baby at 12 weeks, which was two weeks ago. Whoops! My doctor's office in Mount Airy is wonderful, but we were a little sad we didn't get to see the baby at 8 weeks. So this appointment was much anticipated!! His/her heartbeat sounds wonderful and everything is measuring right on time. They gave us a DVD of the sonogram which we can bring back at each one and they will add too it. How fun is that?!?! ;)

My doctor check my sugar log book and said that everything looked FINE and I can stop checking. He said to stick with the diet (a basic low-carb diet) because in reality all of us should follow it and it's good for the baby, BUT if I want to eat something good (Pizza, pasta, a cookie) that is fine. He said it would spike anyone's sugar and moderation is good enough for now! I have to take the glucose screening test at 16 weeks, and if it looks fine then I will take the normal one around 28 weeks. My doctor didn't seem concerned which made this preggo a happy camper!!

I'm feelings pretty good lately. nausea has subsided a decent amount and I'm not nearly as dizzy - which I think is because I can eat and not bottom out (my sugars would be in the 60s!) I am sleepy all the time, although who wouldn't be with a 14 month old?? :) My little baby bump is DEFINITELY there, which is a little depressing because I'm only 14 weeks, but I am rejoicing that God has given us this opportunity to have another baby!
