Our little gummy bear

We interrupt our weekly updates on the house to bring exciting news...

We are expecting a gummy bear!

Our little critter is affectionately being called a gummy bear as it resembles one...it has a head, a body and four nubs.  This picture was taken at 11 1/2 weeks.  As of yesterday I am 13 weeks pregnant.  Our little critter is due on August 19th.

Other exciting news:  I don't have gestational diabetes yet!  I failed the 1 hour test, but I passed the three hour test...woohoo!  Unfortunately, I get to look forward to taking the test each month until I fail.  But until then I'm thoroughly enjoying treats, just limiting the amount so as to not over do it.  Though I have stocked up on the all natural peanut butter, sugar free jam, sugar free pudding/jell-o and splenda.  For after all it's not a matter of if I'll get it, it's a matter of when I'll get it.

So how am I feeling?  Tired, hungry, tired, did I mention tired?  Yes I like naps.  They're a bit of a luxury during the week.  Often times I take a 20 minute power nap while Peter cleans up the dinner dishes.  Or if he's reading Connor a bedtime story, I often cuddle up under the blankets of the bed and am soon out.

Any differences from the first pregnancy?  I'm not nearly as sick.  With Connor I threw up nearly every night.  So far with this one I have thrown up twice.

Kind of on the weird side....I told Peter that I could feel it wiggling at 6 weeks.  He told me it was all psychological...yeah he basically called me crazy.  I told him I was not crazy and I knew what I was feeling.  He brushed it off saying it wasn't possible.  I went to my appointment and the nurse practitioner totally believed me.  Since I'm skinny she says it is very realistic that I am feeling it move.  HA take that Peter!  Well our little gummy bear is particularly active in the evening after I lay down so I had Peter feel my stomach the other day and he felt it move too!
