Weeks 23 - 25

Dear Baby,

It has been a rather eventful few weeks!  25 seems like such a huge number, even though in pregnancy it isn't really a multiple of anything.  Still rather exciting, especially since I am starting to feel you often.  Your daddy got to feel you too, moving my belly all around.

During week 23 we were in Belgium and Luxembourg.  It was a great trip.  Pretty cool to go to a small village that your 4th great grandmother was born in while pregnant with you.  Traveling was more tiring than I expected, but we still had a great time.  We also have a lot to go back and see someday:-)

Week 24 was tiring.  I was pretty sick from the trip and just exhausted.  Not much happened.

This week I got the news that I have gestational diabetes.  No fun for me.  I'm not a fan of needles or blood, so this is going to be a tough 3 months.  Of course I'll do anything I have to to make sure you're healthy and the diet and exercise part is easy, but testing my blood 2-4 times a day?  Icky.

Short letter this week, baby boy.  No internet makes for quick typing...

Love,
Mommy

  1. Sorry to hear about the GD. I know it's not the end of the world but not something you hope to be contending with during your last trimester, either. I have my test in about a month and I'm hoping I won't have it but who knows. Do you feel any different because of it?
