Its hard to believe I'm over half way there! It seems like the time has been flying by now that I'm not sick everyday. We need it to slow down a little though, because we are definitely not ready! Anna Kate's room is currently still the office but we are planning on getting it ready after Christmas. I had a Dr. visit last week and it went very well. Anna's heart rate was good and I only gained two more pounds. This was the first appointment that I haven't had an ultrasound, but since everything has been going fine, there was no need to do one. I like having ultrasounds though because I get to take a peek at her. My next appointment is a few days after Christmas. I will have to start checking my sugars a few times before the appointment and depending on what they are, I may or may not have to check them the rest of my pregnancy. Since I have my own glucose meter I will probably check my sugars periodically even if she says I don't have to, just to be sure. I won't, however, be checking my sugar after any Christmas meals (or after eating the candy in my stocking)!!! Anna Kate is quite the little wiggle worm, especially when I lay down to go to sleep. Justin has gotten to feel her move and she kicks Tristan a lot, but he doesn't seem to notice. She seems to get hiccups a lot too. I have had a few contractions here and there, but the Dr. said that was ok as long as they aren't regular. I started having contractions eary with Tristan too, and still ended up being induced past my due date.
