16 Weeks Pregnant!

I am now 16 weeks pregnant!

I went to the Dr today to check on the pregnancy and further discuss VBAC info. I was very pleased with my visit as many fears I had were reassured and my Dr and her PA are very supportive of VBAC and laid back about the process! The Lord has provided a Doula for me to use during my labor and I'm hoping that with her help I will also avoid having the c-section. God is just putting so many things into place for me!! I'm getting more & more excited!!

My Insulin Resistance is doing really well and my blood sugar levels are staying low now! This is making me very happy as I may actually avoid the Gestational Diabetes.. which will make me VERY happy!!

Today, baby's heartbeat was really strong! I didn't realize that the baby was so high in my abdomen at this point, but he/she was hanging out right at my belly button!! I'm shocked that (despite how I look) I haven't gained any weight in this pregnancy yet. Although, that makes me happy too in hopes of not keeping extra baby weight on for a long time.. after baby is born! We go back on Feb 13th (2 weeks) for the gender scan! Lydia & Elijah are going with us and are so excited about it!! I look forward to seeing their faces when they see the baby move around!!

Now, as time is beginning to get closer and go by faster.. I'm just trying to figure out living arrangements! I have 2 options with our 3 bedroom home!

1) Put Lydia & Elijah in the same room together for about a year, until baby is better adjusted to sleeping schedules and is less needy. Then moving baby in with whichever child is the same gender!

2) Lydia wants to share a room with the baby (if baby is a girl. Although, I am feeling certain that the baby is a girl!) I just can't decide if this is the best way to go for now. That will be much interruption for her! Also, while baby is napping, then she won't be able to go into her room like she wants. 

I'm leaning more toward option 1 at this point. I do have some more time to figure it out though, hehe!
