Good Bye My Love :(
So i found out a couple of weeks ago that I have gestational diabetes. At first I was scared, I never had to go through this when I was pregnant with my first and the thought of diabetes just made me feel like I was doing something wrong! Well I had my first class today! Yes they have classes! I am so happy about that. I got to meet other mothers who had also been diagnosed and I got to talk to a dietitian, learn what foods do what when you eat them.
So on the plus side! Its nothing I did wrong that caused the diabetes! I am not over weight, I have a 4 year old soooo i'm constantly on the go. I eat decently :S yes decently IM PREGNANT! I GET CRAVINGS! lol I know I know its an excuse but dont tell me Im the only prego out there that hasnt randomly craved Cookie dough or a DQ ice cream cake at 10pm :P teheh ahh i love em cakes!! But back to what I was saying..... In the end its mainly hormones that cause the diabetes! Which makes me feel a lot better!! On the downside... whether it be caused by my daily habits or by hormones I now have to watch EVERYTHING i eat. With that being said a healthy me is a healthy baby!! All I can say it thank goodness for these classes I learnt alot!!!!

Pregnancy with baby # 2
So even though there are a lot similarities between baby #1 and baby #2, There are a lot of things that you wouldn't expect when it comes to having your 2nd baby. 1 thing I did not know is your body remembers!!! oh it does! So with baby #1 I didn't start showing till around 5-6 months. My hips didn't start hurting till 7-8 months. Baby # 2 starting showing 3-4 months.
My hips split at 4-5 months. Your body basically says of hey your pregnant!! i remember what to do! no matter how far long you are! Your on a whole other schedule. Did you know that your stretch marks can stretch further!! My stretch marks have stretch marks!! Are you kidding me!!!

Pregnancy SUCKS
So far pregnancy is not the walk in the park that I remember! LOL I find it somewhat funny/annoying that your mind forgets all the crap you have to go through when your pregnant.
#1 Morning sickness!! Omg! All I can say is like a man could ever handle working 40 hours a week dealing with the joyfulness of a 4 year old and morning sickness!! And the fact that it comes out of no where, so its not like you can try and avoid it. Haha not to mention the fact that its not just for a day or 2, it lasts weeks!!! and i mean weeks! Thanks goodness for Dicletin!!! Wo22rks like magic! At least magic that can get you through the day ;P
#2 The exhaustion!! Mental and physical exhaustion!! I'm Making a Human. What Have You Done Today? is really the only way to put it. The amount of people that do not understand it is exhausting making a baby blows my mind. Our bodies all of a sudden are dealing with a foreign object growing inside of us, taking our nutrients and using our energy to grow bigger!!
It is not an easy task I can tell ya that!!
#3 Needing to pee all the time!! Oh ya babe I had a great sleep last night! WAKING UP EVERY 2 HOURS TO PEE!!
#4 Once you get further into the pregnancy it is so hard to fall asleep! and stay comfy! At least for me it is!! I normally sleep on my stomach so any other way is very uncomfortable!!
So these are the top 4 things that I COMPLETELY FORGOT!!! about how much pregnancy sucks!
