Appt #29 – OB (throwing away my to-do list)
Finally passed the 34 week mark!! Had a busy weekend working on the baby room and hanging with the fam. It also came with a great deal of Braxton Hicks contractions, some of them quite intense. I’ve had to take…
Basal Rate Fun
The last couple mornings have been really bad. Waking up with blood sugars between 138-150. Then it takes 2-3 hours to bring that number down to an acceptable level so I can eat breakfast. The first morning I thought maybe…
Appt #19 – Endo
Not much to report, as usual. All my labs went thru my OB this time and all came back normal. A1c was 6.4% which is up from 6.3% last month. Endo adjusted my overnight basal once again. He feels I’m…

Appt #14 – Endo
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, LOVE MY ENDO. All went well, he adjusted my overnight basal rate again. Said I should just be pregnant all the time because I have better sugars while preggo. Well yeah I’m…
Runnin’ Out of Real Estate
Soooo, my belly has popped WAY faster this time around. I have no belly button, it just doesn’t exist, no even as an “outie.” So I’ve had to move my pump site to my sides much quicker than I thought…
What’s That Like?
I want to look at food, especially sweets and carb-heavy delights and not think “I wonder how many carbs that is….I wonder how that will affect my blood sugar…how much insulin would it take…will I regret eating this.” I wonder…
