Tough Week

This past week has been full of ups and downs: unfortunately, more downs than ups.

The good news is that I am definitely pregnant. Today I am 5 weeks pregnant; my period is a week late, and I'm still feeling all the aches and pains, plus the beginnings of an icky tummy. It's not fun, but I'm glad, because it reassures me that the pregnancy is progressing.

The bad news is that over the past couple of days, we have been in the process of mourning my uncle; furthermore, Andrea had to go into the hospital on Monday, because she developed Bronchiolitis. She's at home now, and starting to get better, but that was also very emotionally and physically draining for us.

Tomorrow I am taking Andrea to the family doctor for a follow-up visit, and I also booked an appointment for myself, to see if my blood/urine tests are back yet. Think healthy! :))

Oh, and on that note, I have been doing very well with my diabetic-friendly diet. Even with all the stress this week, I've managed to follow my guidelines, and I've lost about 5 pounds. Yay!
