5 Weeks Along!

So after my appointments today they doctor pin pointed my pregnancy as 5 weeks along so they guesstimated a little high but with an ultra sound and internal exam they were able to figure it out today. Baby is doing alright and so is mama, just gotta take it easy to get through this first trimester and then I will be less stressed, that's for sure!!

So far I am just really tired and my back hurts a bit but I am able to do normal activities. Morning sickness comes and goes but it hasn't been too awful. Being pregnant this second time it different considering I can't just relax whenever I need to or want to with a toddler running around. But I am managing the best I can, I am starting to make her help me with things around the house since she will need to do more of that once the baby is here.

I have given up soda completely and have been only drinking mostly water and lemonaid on occasion to keep my super down since the last time I was pregnant I had diabetes while pregnant so I am just trying to keep my sugar down so that *hopefully* I don't have to deal with that again. But if I do deal with that again it wasn't awful just diet changes which I have already put into place just in case and having to test my blood sugar throughout the day.

I went and bought glucose tablets while I was away on our weekend getaway because yet again I got really dizzy on Saturday night and felt like I was going to pass out and my husband gave me lemonaid to drink that I had and I instantly felt better so I know like last time I was pregnant I have an issue with my blood sugar dropping suddenly and so I am keeping glucose tablets in my purse from now on just in case.

well this mama was told to rest so I am going to go do that I will update as much as possible!
