Today my cousins came up from San Antonio to see me and my mom and we went to the mall. Spent a lot of money at the Disney store! But I had been needing to go anyway, to get some stuff. I was very careful through all of this; I didn’t even drive, and at […]

Stretch marks and discomfort
I think the stretch marks have finally had enough. They seem to have stopped multiplying along the front, and they aren’t getting that bad anywhere else, so hopefully the worst is over. I’m so uncomfortable sleeping and walking; I don’t even remember what comfortable is. I take little bitty steps when I walk, because if […]
More food!
I’m still getting bigger, but not big enough, apparently. The doctors have me checking my urine for ketones every morning, and I’ve been positive all week even though I got my sugars well in hand for now with my diet. So the doctor says I’m not eating enough, and to add another carb and protein […]
Bellybutton
My bellybutton isn’t even an innie or an outie anymore, it just kind of half pokes out, and the other half still pokes in. Just lopsided like the rest of me, I guess!
Diabetic Diet
I can’t even make it through a good pregnancy without bursting into tears on a regular basis. Between constantly worrying about whether I’m feeling contractions or not, all the people who are driving over 20 miles to go to the store for me because nobody I know closer will do it, Brian having to cook […]
Diabetes
I continued to get high blood sugar readings over the weekend. Not outrageously high, but considering normal readings for me are very low, and the readings I was getting were above the guidelines my doctor told me to look for (140 at 1 hour after meals, 120 at 2 hours), I went ahead and called. […]
Chefs, and a trip to the hospital
I sure could go for some hot, fresh, cooked-in-front-of-me food. I came across the neatest thing a few weeks ago when I was looking for something I could get myself for dinner while Brian was at Fiesta Texas. There’s a company in town that will come to your house, plan a multi-course meal with you, […]
Free stuff, and diabetes strikes!
Well, I started getting some really nasty sugar readings today on my home monitor. *insert colorful cursing here* Guess I get to figure out how to consume 3000 calories on a diabetic diet. *insert multicultural cursing here* Brian thinks it might just be a one-day thing, and there really isn’t anything I can do until […]
Wish list
Things I want….A soda fountain (there’s nothing quite like a fountain soda), delivery from IHOP, a foam wedge to lay on instead of all these pillows that keep falling through the armrests of the sofa… Some people have told me I’m at risk for hemorroids now, but actually not. I’m not even allowed to sit […]
Shower Day!
I was just having a super down day yesterday. I’m feeling much better now. It’s not that I’m not well-prepared and all; after all, I had four months to get ready. I’ve got my dorm fridge set up next to the couch, my computer all set up, plenty of stitching to do, I’ve got my […]
