33 Weeks

Thought it was time for a little fruit update. Mostly because I just pictured how painful it would be if you actually had a pineapple inside of you! Ouch. Anyway, Liam is supposed to weigh about the same as a pineapple this week . . . 4 lbs. Of course three weeks ago they told us that he weighs approximately 4 lbs 5 oz. Hopefully he has slowed down a little! Not much else is changing - he is just growing!

I sent in my second week of sugar levels to the specialist yesterday. My numbers were still too high, especially the fasting ones in the morning. So they have put me on a medication. Not insulin yet, but something called Glybeuride that I take before dinner and before breakfast. My numbers were considerably lower last night and first thing this morning. I also had a serious drop in sugar level right before lunch today. Actually AT lunch. I went to lunch with 8 co-workers for a birthday. My friend Jen called from across the table "are you ok? you look really flushed!" Right then it hit me. I didn't feel ok. I started sweating all over, got really light headed and my hands were shaking. I was curious as to what was happening so I checked my blood under the table. It was very low. After I ate I felt OK. I called the doctor when I got back to the office. She said that it was time for me to eat and that I probably need to keep a snack in my purse at all time. She suggested cheese. Cheese in my purse!? Weird. Ha. She said that my number of 82 wasnt as scary as it seemed. That under 60 is when we would worry. She said that I am just not used to that since my numbers have been so high.

No doctors appointments this week, so we will just manage the diabetes with diet and this new medication and look forward to seeing the specialist and having another sonogram next Thursday! I also have my regular OB/GYN appointment next Tuesday. Oh, and our last birthing class is tomorrow. Those were pretty good, but I am not sorry to see them end.

OH . . . in bathroom renovation news . . . the bath tub is in, the tile is down, grouting is taking place today, painting the walls will happen tomorrow and granite is being delivered and installed next Monday. So begining next Monday or Tuesday will be the master bath. That will probably take another 2 weeks and then we are done!!
