20 Weeks

20w0d: had an absolute breakdown because I had the same thing for breakfast 3 mornings in a row and my numbers increased from 88 to 181 for no reason I could decipher other than the fact they had dropped me to 6 units of insulin. had the AC guy here as I ugly cried on the phone while leaving a message for my GD nurse. embarrassing!

20w1d: cervical length ultrasound went well and my best friend got to attend! doctor kindly talked me off the ledge about my breakdown yesterday. back up to 8 units of insulin. first time taking 50mgs of benedryl before the progesterone shot. was dead asleep within an hour. drove down to richmond on our way to south carolina for a week of much needed vacation!

20w2d: 8 hours driving from richmond-fripp island, south carolina. 15 minutes into the ride, eva said, "mommy I want to get out now"! some moments were challenging but overall eva did great and we had a smooth ride! so happy to be at the beach!

20w3d-20w6d: the joy of fripp island! we spent full days on the beach and got to witness eva absolutely beside herself with love over the sand and surf! she is such a beach babe! she absolutely loves the ocean and built sand castles for hours on end! she took two beach naps (firsts for her! especially because she didn't have her gig blankie!) and made friends wherever she went! She loves she crab soup, hush puppies and cornbread and had them almost every night for dinner. i allowed myself a few vacation indulgences and had a few hush puppies, some bites of key lime pie and a delicious bowl of honey nut cheerios after the beach one day!
