Sugars

 

I had an appointment with my endo doc. She asked me to send in my numbers if they kept going up. They did :/ 

New insulin for before breakfast and a higher dose for before bed. 

New baby blanket for Kassie

 

Nybbles approves of the new blanket I made for Kassie

Root Canal

 Ugh ended up after getting a tooth filled weeks ago needing the same tooth to have a root canal. Not fun!

Sugars

 

Having some minor issues with morning numbers. :/

VIABILITY! 24 weeks!

 

Baby Laundry

 I've started to do baby laundry...then I have to redo it cause of Nybbles, lol 

Sugars

Tooting my own horn again (cause this shit is HARD). My sugars this week. I don't think I did too bad considering three days of the week were were visiting family and not home. I also learned lack of sleep raises my blood sugar! 

23 weeks !

 

Conversation with Nathan about nursing

 This will be long, but it's too funny not to share!

Nathan and I have some pretty interesting conversations

This morning was spurred from his concern on how he was going to do his work with Kassie crying all the time. I explained we would be working towards him working more independently by the time she comes. He said no Daddy can just take care of her. This is what things for interesting.

Me: Nathan mommy will have to feed Kassie for awhile.

Nathan: Why can't daddy just do that.

Me: Well nathan cause Kassie will have to drink mommy's milk which is in my boobs

Nathan: *stares at my face, then my chest, then my face, then my chest, then my face and then my chest*

Me: Nathan do you know how a baby cow get food from her mommy?

Nathan: yes

Me: that bag under her belly is kind of like her boobs. Mommy's boobs are the same thing. Women have boobs so they can make special milk to feed to their babies.

Nathan: oh, but how is she eating from them now?

(cue discussion about umbilical cords)

Wait she's been eating salad?

Me; yes Nathan whatever I eat Kassie is getting what she needs from it to grow.

Nathan: Oh. But wait mommy...won't your milk just come squirting out?

(cue conversation about bras and pads to stop that, lol)

This kid kills me.

Note to we do keep side stepping the "How will Kassie come out of your tummy?" question, lol

Sugar Numbers

 Kids have their school work to be proud of... I have this

Last week my chart was FULL of red cells...taking the insulin has helped with morning fasting numbers for sure...and I'm learning what works and doesn't work for me!

For reference anything green is IN the range they want me to be Don't pay attention to the numbers in parenthesis.

Two more weeks to viability!

 

Nybbles on the bump

 She's keeping baby warm. Kassie has tried to kick her a few times. Nybbles has been around since Kaitlin so she isn't bothered any more, lo

Love this new shirt!

 

First insulin jab (21 weeks belly shot)

 I needed to give myself my first ever insulin injection last night. I was chicken and asked my husband to do it. He was all set to do it until I pulled my shirt up for him to do it in my belly area (sidish). He freaked out. He was like "NO WAY I won't want to poke the BABY!". Mind you the needle is like super tiny, it's not going through my many layers of fat! But it totally freaked him out. He did do it eventually.

So today I wore the shirt I have in the picture. There is a "crack" on the skull of the baby. My 11 year old daughter said it's awful cause there is a crack there. I said "what it's just where daddy poked her in the head last night"

He didn't think I was funny
