14 Weeks

Lemon

Crap! Now the baby is a lemon! I spoke too soon. The visit today went pretty well. My blood sugar levels are still pretty erratic (high in the mornings and low in the afternoons), but they told me that things should start to smooth out around 18 weeks. We will be 15 weeks on Friday, so I'm looking forward to more even levels. Today is the first time I had actually gained weight, and I was up 0.6 pounds. I have been working very hard to manage my weight during the pregnancy, and I made it through the first trimester without gaining a pound (still safe for baby). My hope is to gain 15 pounds throughout the pregnancy, and the docotors think this is a good goal, too. The less weight I put on, the less stress to me and the baby.
