16 weeks Update

I am happy to announce that this old cow can go longer in-between grazings, lol. I am still dealing with the hypoglycemia but not nearly as bad as it was. My menu has expanded to more kinds of foods too. I am still tired a lot but as a whole I say things are moving in an upper direction and I hope in a few weeks to be back to "normal", ya right, hahahaha, normal for me anyways. I am feeling movement just not on the outside yet and it's not consistant yet either. I have gained about 3-4 pounds so far.

NO SUBSTITUTE

Swings for arms,
Bottles for breasts,
Advice from the 'experts'
Who think they know best.

'Binky's and monitors
And all sorts of clutter
Think they can take
The place of a mother.

Pre-schools and daycares,
And babysitters, too,
Think they can do
What mothers should do.

Oh listen, dear mother
To words that are true -
No one or nothing
Can care just like you.

Your children are blessings
Loaned from above,
More than money or things
What they need is your love.

Second Trimester Here I Come....

I can't believe I can say that now. It's still seems so surreal. I am still sick as a dog and very tired. I don't go back to my endo doc till next month. I will also know in a month what I am having, again, I am assuming it's another boy, lol. My friend is still trying to get pregnant. We are hopeful that this will be the month and if so we would be three months apart and she will be due the same time we had our last two kids. I'm hoping not to gain to much weight in the second tri because I know no matter what I do I will gain in the third tri. I only gained 28lbs with the last two but I would like to keep it even lower then that if I can. That's it for now.
