I can completely sympathize with the mom in this story. These days, I don’t have to tell anybody that I have triplets. If I mention it, it’s because I am at that moment prepared to discuss them, to answer questions and generally engage in conversation about them. When they were babies, though, it was never […]
Category Archives: Triplet Pregnancy
Ocean Gypsy
While I was pregnant with the triplets, Brian and I ran across somebody I hadn’t seen since my college days in Denton. His handle in college was Angel, but his name was David. Of all things, I saw him leaving as we were standing outside the theater in Austin. I hailed him, and we started […]
Another hospital trip
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 […]
