16th Oct 08

Tomorrow will be 6 months (24 weeks).  Time flies.  16 weeks, hopefully less, to go. Another 10 weeks and Baby would be fine to be born any time.  Baby is very active.  That is reassuring and makes all this so real.

Quite uncomfortable with back pain these days, and quite a bit of tummy pain.  Probably just things stretching (maybe scar tissue?).  Hurts to walk, particularly after sitting.  Moving while on the bed also uncomfortable. Still staying active and just ignoring the pain - but I can't imagine how I am going to bear this for another 16 weeks.... hope it improves.  Think I am also having this so called "round ligament' pain, but that is a different pain... comes and goes and is bearable...  

Weight seems to have stabilised this week after a huge jump a few weeks ago.  Will try not to gain significantly between now and my next apt. in 3 weeks....  have gained about 15 lbs on my pre-pregnancy weight, which is already my supposed target limit given I started off at above my ideal weight. And I am well padded! :)

After weeks of very good blood sugar levels, it seems to be inching up again... expected at this stage of pregnancy, I guess.... Am very glad insulin is available, which makes good blood sugar control possible.

Work is super super busy... that's good... Hopefully some $ on the way sooneer than later.... let me pay some bills....
