December

It has officially been 1 year since we left Sierra Vista, Az & I super miss my old life. I miss my friend & her son. I know she'd have my back & be my shoulder during this pregnancy. Oh well. Anyways, Katie is getting so big & I think she's grown a little more. I need to measure her but I do know the scale showed her weighing 22 lbs. Big girl! She's mostly back to happy go lucky but with pain in the butt mixed in. I left Katie with a babysitter/a friend on Tuesday for my appt and she did amazing. She had no problem with left with someone she barely knows. Good & bad I know. The other day I was getting water from the fridge & Katie saw the ultrasound on the fridge. She said "my baby" & pointed up at the us. It surprised me because we're told her about being a big sister & we're talked a little about it but it's not like an every day thing. It just surprised me she randomly pointed to the us & talk me that's her baby. :)

So, my first appt with new doctor was Tuesday & I have mixed feelings on it. I hate doctors telling me & insisting I'm going to have a hard pregnancy because of my size. He said I had a hard one last time & I did not. I had a few blips & ended up with pre-eclampsia the last 2-3 weeks but I don't consider that bad. He's going to highly monitor me since Katie was small. Again, she was small but she wasn't preemie or ever in NICU. She was completely healthy. So, whatever dude. I guess I won't complain about getting monthly ultrasounds after 20 weeks. :) Getting to see munchkin every month, watching him/her grow will be nice. I passed my glucose test but apparently doc wants me on a sugar free diet. Also to lose weight. So, after being annoyed with him I decided he just wants what's best for baby & for a easier healthier pregnancy. So, ok. I've been really watching what I eat & staying away from extra sugar. According to my scale I've lost almost 12 lbs in 3 months. I'll just keep it up. Maybe I'll keep getting the nausea that keeps me only eating a little. It sort of tells me "ok, enough, stop eating or I'll make you super nauseous". I'm talking like 1.5 eggs, 3/4 of my sandwich plus tomatoes & cucumber slices, etc. I can still eat, just not as much as before. Good for weight loss.

Well, I guess that's about all. I'll leave Katie's Christmas photo. It wasn't really what I wanted to do but we were having crappy weather & I needed to finish Christmas presents. Maybe we'll have a good day for more photos but I'll probably stick with the ones I did. :)

Merry Christmas Everyone!
