Pregnancy Update

Well, Dan's gone to Jiu Jitsu and I'm exhausted! In honour (and jealousy) of those in the US celebrating Thanksgiving today I made us a turkey dinner. I'm pretty sure it's the first meal I've cooked in months and apparently it has drained me of all my energy (the turkey may have helped with that too). It's only 8:45 so I thought I would kill some time giving an update on my pregnancy before heading off to bed.

Today I'm 21 weeks, 4 days. I had an appointment with one of my midwives today (who I love by the way) and all things look great. My IPS came back negative on all accounts, my sugar test came back well below the concerning level, and everything looked good on my ultrasound as well. I do have to go back for another ultrasound next Thu as they couldn't measure everything. That's all right with me though as it means I get to see the little monkey again and hopefully find out the sex this time!

What's going to be hard about Thu is that I'm going to get the gender in a sealed envelope. Then I'm going to take it to a friends who will make us either a pink or blue cake depending on the gender (thanks Ashley!). Luckily we are picking it up that evening and cutting it with some family Thu night so the wait won't be too long! We can't wait and I'll be sure to post some pictures to share the news.

As far as the "morning sickness" goes it's still hitting me every morning and most afternoons. It's definitely better then it was, since I can now avoid getting sick if I stay in bed. Easier said then done though with an adorable 2 year old that I can't wait to see each morning! I'm just grateful that I'm through the worst of it and over half way through the pregnancy.

Well, I'm off to la la land....
