My 5th month checkup

I am at around 18 weeks now. Just across the half way point. I went to the doc's office after a heavy, heavy lunch was got on the weighing scale, with dread. I have put on about 2 kgs (maybe a wee less), making my total 71 kgs . My doc said that was ok, and I was relieved! But then, I was 71 at the time of delivery during Kav's pregnancy, so I know I have my work cut out after this baby is out!! Blood and protein tests were fine. I have the 5th month complete scan in a couple of weeks.

The exciting news is that the baby has started out with regular kicks. I think I have started to feel it early; maybe because I am more tuned to it or because the baby is bigger already.

I had a huge event to manage at my office last week. It was an outdoor marathon event that we were organising and I was on my feet all day. Don't know where I got the gosh from; but I kept going and the day was a big success. I had felt a little dizzy as I was having lunch that day, but nothing that a little glucose didn't take care of. My doc was more alarmed that I had glucose, rather than my dizzy spell. She is extremely paranoid about sugar levels, and keeps warning me off lots of juices, fruits etc.

Kav has been at my mom's place this week and I so miss him. But with us moving to our new place tomorrow and will all the packing happening, the house looks like a hurricane already without his help! He has started to talk longer on the phone without being bored. He told me today about his friend there, about his lunch, about his poopy even! His poopies are always a big event at our place, since he has been struggling with them in the past 2 months, maybe going once in 4-5 days! We have started him on some meds and are monitoring how effective they are.

Off to dig into some protein and do some packing...
