22 Weeks

I hate to complain but these past two weeks has been rough.  I am currently 22 weeks and feel pregnant. I think I am having problems with my sugar.  It started two weeks ago and happens only in the mornings. I get up feeling great and I eat breakfast about 30-45 minutes later. 5-20 minutes after I eat breakfast I get extremely lightheaded, dizzy, I see black spots, my heart start beating fast, and I start sweating.  It lasts about 20 minutes.  This week I started eating a half of a peanut butter sandwich when it comes on and it seem to help a little. My back has been hurting sooo bad from my growing belly. Nothing seems to help and I barely sleep. However, Madelyn is very active and I feel it clearly now. She's everywhere now and I swear she uses my cervix as a trampoline, hahaha. One night I was sitting on the couch and David had his head on my belly. David jumped because Madelyn kicked him. LOVE IT! 

I had an OB appointment today (11/15) and had another ultrasound. She has grown so much AND SO HAVE I... I now weigh 97 pounds- 7 pounds gain in four weeks... What the heck! It's funny. They did another ultrasound today because they couldn't see her spine last month and everything looked great today. She was literally kicking herself in the forehead. ADORABLE. I just love her already. I saw my preferred doctor today and she's just better with me. She said I had low blood sugar and that's why I'm getting sick in the mornings. She also recommended a belly wrap to help with my back. We definitely decided to do a c-section at 39 weeks and she wants to be the one to deliver.  She's awesome and actually cares. My belly measured at 23-24 weeks so I'm right on track. I thought I was smaller than normal but I'm not. God is amazing.

Here are some pictures:

Madelyn was a pumpkin for Halloween. David did so good!

Belly at 22 weeks!


Kicking herself in the forehead!




Thank you all for all the prayers and support.... My family has been so supportive and caring. I am blessed. Please keep praying for a smooth pregnancy and a healthy Madelyn. And Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. I can't wait for all the FOOD!!! :D
