16 Weeks

Today's Date: 1/16/13

Weight Gain: I went to the Dr on Monday and clocked in at +7 lbs.  Sheesh.  I think I preferred blissful ignorance.  :)

Maternity Clothes: Yup
Stretch Marks: No
Sleep: Up about once a night, maybe twice if I had a lot to drink.
Best Moment of the Week: Lots of movement, especially the past couple days.  Little baby is doing acrobatics in there!
Miss Anything: Just the normal... running, wine.  You know, the important stuff. ;)
Movement: Yep!
Food Cravings: Not really.

Nausea: Still on and off.
Other Symptoms: Not really
Belly Button In or Out: In
Mood: Pretty upbeat.

Diabetes Control: Great!  At the Endocrinologist last week my HbA1c was a 5.8!  Woohoo!!  (for those not familiar, perfect control for a diabetic is a 6.0, "good" is a 7.0 and a normal person w/o diabetes is about a 5.5.  So, I'm in such good control the diabetes is nearly irrelevant to the baby.  Can't get much better than that!

Funny (but also not-so-funny) story.  Last Thursday night we were changing out some light switches/outlets in our master bedroom.  We cut the break and tested a couple (all came back w/o power).  So we started changing them.  After we had changed a few, I went to the next one and shocked the heck out of myself!  I've never felt a shock like this from a household switch before.  It was late in the evening so there wasn't much I could do.  The next morning I called the Dr's office as soon and they opened.  They had me come in and checked the baby's heart rate... which was just fine.  Whew.  Funny... because I can't believe electrocuted myself by being so stupid and not funny... well kind of obvious.  :)  We are just happy everything is fine.
