Today marks 18 weeks pregnant. I as an my ob on Monday and my midwife on Tuesday. Finally heard the baby’s heart beat. Madelyn came to my midwife appt so she got to here the baby to. Her “sister baby ” as she has taken to calling it. The heart beat was a beautiful strong 155 bpm just like Madelyn was!

I had an early gestational diabetes screen on Monday after my ob appt because she thought I was measuring at 21 weeks when I was only 17 +2 weeks at that point. The tests came back negative. It was scary to hear I was measuring that far ahead but when I seen my midwife on Tuesday she said I’m right where I need to be and she felt my uterus and baby and all is well !

16 days till we get to see baby at the anatomy scan in Vancouver. But who is counting ?

I started prenatal yoga last week and am going to my second class tomorrow. The nice weather has been amazing and I’m looking forward to going on my walks with Madelyn again ! I’m going to miss going for bike rides this year though.

My Latest level was 2.5 mg /dl after having a small bump in #phe. I can now have 270 mg a day . Still so much lower then I’m use to and I’m finding it much more difficult and frustrating. I swear by this time with Madelyn was nearly 100 mg more. I haven’t lost any weight this week so my clinic will be happy.
