It's been several weeks since I posted to my blog. I just haven't been feeling like doing much of anything! By tomorrow, I'll be 16 weeks along, so I'm hoping that I'll start having more energy soon. Now that FCS is out, I won't have to go teach which will give me a much needed break. It was all I could do to just teach twice a week and take care of Daniel (plus go to all my doctor's appts)! Thankfully, Phillip has been doing pretty much all the cooking and cleaning that gets done (which because he works full-time, hasn't been a lot). Yesterday, I finally HAD to do a lot of cleaning because we had a house showing (yes, we're still trying to sell our house). I was so exhausted doing all that cleaning!!! I'm going to try to keep it clean now. My mom has been such a blessing this week. She came out almost every day and helped me with my mounds of laundry!
I would say the biggest challenges on this pregnancy so far are lack of energy/motivation, feeling depressed a lot, and the gestational diabetes (which is just going to get worse). I'm trying to resign myself to the fact that I'll eventually have to do insulin shots.
On the bright side, I've just started feeling the baby move the last couple of nights. I have an ultrasound scheduled next month for the 23rd and then I'll get to find out if I'm having a girl or boy!

15 Weeks
How your baby's growing:
Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl!
