Another Day

Another low.  I really need to make sure I eat extra carbs if I am going to be walking a lot after breakfast.  I went to St George’s Farmers Market this morning and then to Marks & Spencer and by the time I was done in Marks I was definitely feeling woozy.  Had a whole [...]

Happy Thanksgiving United States!!!

We too are having the turkey dinner today.  I try to do it every year. Simon crushed my hopes today when he said, as he was heading to work “so what are you doing today besides clearing the dining table so you can set it for Thanksgiving Dinner?!?”  I was all “That was going to [...]

Two Doctors. Two Days. One Baby.

Wow, that was dramatic. So had a metabolic appointment yesterday.  That means with my diabetes team!  Blood drawn, spoke to Endocrinologist, stuff like that there.  Endo is very pleased with my numbers.  Still a bit high in the morning, so increased my insulin.  Mornings are the hardest to get down for almost everyone, due to [...]

LOL at Eve’s Comment Yesterday

Yes, tomorrow the embryo ‘levels up’ to fetus.  I love my geeky friends. Feel like total crap today.  Headache.  Nausea.  Depression.  I’m still referring to it as the trifecta of pregnancy. And the inabilty to feel full.  I may have to have lunch in about 10 minutes, and its only 11:00am! Off to Diabetic Antenatal [...]

So, The Weekend Was Okay

Did make it out of the flat, only to nearly hurl in Tesco.  Yeah, that was fun. Then had a hypo in the middle of Eason and had to scarf a bag of crisps.  Salt and Vinegear, for the record. Then we did head over to the Chirstmas Market at City Hall.  Our favorite French [...]

Going To Try and Leave the Flat Today

First time in nearly a week.  Simon and I are going to go here. And do the regular Saturday shopping. Tomorrow we are going to go see Quatum of Solace (I will *never* understand that name).  And then out to dinner at Chilis, which has just opened in Victoria Square, although their UK website seems [...]

So Frustrated

So one of the things I have to do, because I’m on insulin and its new to me, is call the Diabetes Clinic every day to go over my numbers with them. And we can’t seem to get my levels where they want them.  They are much better than they were, but my fasting numbers [...]

Last Night I Had My First Real Hypo

i.e. low blood glucose.  I went to bed with it at 6.5 woke up two hours later, heart palpatations, feeling dizzy and sweating at a level of 3.2.  Simon was still awake so I went into the front room and he helped me drink some juice and eat some pretzels.  Yeah, was not fun. Still [...]

9 Weeks Today…

So the blob is nearly 2cm and has hands and feet.  And eyelids! Unfortunately, mommy has antenatal depression.  As you all know, I am a depressive anyway, and all these hormones are making me very depressed.  Can’t see my doctor until next week, so I’m trying to muddle through, but it is very hard. This [...]

I Remember, When My Sister in Law

Was pregnant with her oldest daughter, my niece S, she called in to work one day asking if anyone had gotten the license plate of the truck that hit her.  When she returned to work, someone had drawn her a picture of a license plate with the word ‘baby’ as the plate number. I wonder [...]
