Here is my baby belly at 36.5 weeks. Only a few more weeks to go!
At this point, I’ve only gained about 5-7 pounds from where I started pre-pregnancy. Thankfully though, baby girl is growing just fine. I am still taking insulin shots first thing in the morning, before most meals and right before bedtime. Even though it is a hassle, I am thankful for it as it allows me to eat a little more at mealtime than I was able to during my pregnancy with Bree. During that time, I was hungry all the time trying to keep my blood sugar levels where they should be. Even now, I am still sometimes hungrier than I’d like, but the insulin has definitely helped with that. I am also able to indulge in a few bites of sweets now and then, which is especially nice during these holidays when there are so many parties that have so many delicious sweet treats to tempt me!
Adrianna is excited to meet her baby sister. She’s gotten to feel the baby move a few times. Bree still doesn’t seem to acknowledge or comprehend anything when we talk about her baby sister that is coming soon. She’s in for a big surprise. I hope she takes it well, but I have a feeling it will be a big adjustment for Bree to have to share her Mommy with the new baby.
