Yes, I'm a slacker!

I suck at keeping my blog up to date. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Well, mainly this past week has been the crazy one.

Monday was the NT scan. Everything looks great. Baby was swimming around and kicking his legs like a little frog. His heartbeat is at 150. We are still not planning on finding out if Baby is a boy or a girl, but I have to pick he or she. I can't call Baby "it".

Here are the three pictures we got from the scan. The first one is Baby with his legs crossed. The second one is Baby with his legs stretched. And the third one is Baby's face, looking right at the camera. Sorry for the crappy quality. The scanner at work is weird.


I did get put on insulin. But I knew that was coming. I couldn't stay on Metformin anymore. But let me tell you, keeping your sugars under control when you are pregnant is not the easiest thing. It's been a bit of a struggle the past few days. My dose has already been increased from 25 units before bed to 30 units before bed. And I'm sure it will change again before the baby comes. I just need to relearn what foods my body likes to play nice with. Pizza is not one of them!

Oh, and I think I've been feeling a flutter here and there! I can't wait until I can really feel a kick. I think then it will feel a little bit more real. You would think that seeing Baby twice in a two week period would make it real, but it still does seem a little surreal. Go figure!

Now time for the survey thing!
