20 Weeks

Well, I'm officially halfway through this pregnancy. Probably more than halfway since I'm sure I won't make it to my due date, but 20 weeks anyway.

My fasting blood sugars have been running high even though I am following my diabetes plan and exercising every day. The OB clinic is referring me to the endocrinology clinic to see a doctor, a nurse, and a dietitian. They might start me on insulin soon but the nurse at the OB clinic said that the decisions about my treatment will all be made at the other clinic from now on. They should be calling on Monday to schedule the appts. I'm okay with it--whatever I have to do to keep us both healthy.

One week until we find out the gender - I cannot wait! Then I can make Ben help me pick out a name. It seems harder this time around, but I'm not sure why.

My belly is getting cute, and I don't feel too fat yet. I will, though, just wait - it's only a matter of time.

Baby is kicking more regularly now, and it's fun. Ben started reading to him/her recently. We read Harry Potter to Hadley and now he is reading it to this baby so that's kind of neat.

I have been very exhausted the last week or so, and I'm not sure why. Even if I go to bed early I still feel super tired all day. Maybe the sleep I am getting is not as good as I think. Guess I should just get used to being exhausted again because soon I'll have a little one to thank for that.
