Blood sugar

~Day 58~

     Morning (fasting) blood sugar: 95.  Haven't felt super bad any except for about 45 minutes after I take my vitamins-then there is a rush of nausea.  After the flash nausea, I'm good though.  So I'm going to start taking them at night and see if that helps.  Went to Christmas party with Mom after work-had chicken and dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad with italian dressing.  2-3 hours after that I checked my blood sugar again: 125.
     So while I know that this does not mean a whole lot, I like to conclude that my nausea was contributed to the rush of vitamins into my system at one time.

Just another Monday...

~8 weeks, Day 57~

     I called and scheduled a Doctor's appointment for a week from today at 2:30pm.  Met up with Mom after work at Wal*Mart and picked up some groceries.  Also borrowed Dad's glucose meter to check my blood sugar.

I need some rest!

~Day 56~

     Sunday morning services were really good! The youth that accepted Christ walked the aisle! We also had another younger family join the church! YAY!  Also it was our 1 year anniversary of coming to the church.  After church, we took Kenny, Matt and Amber with us to go eat at Chili's. The boys went to help an elderly couple put out their Christmas decorations and I took Amber with me to get everything ready for the Youth Christmas party tonight.
     After eating well throughout the past few weeks, Chili's did not like me.  However, on busy days like today, you don't really get the option to lay out.  It was ok though-didn't last long.
     I had made Puppy Chow goodie bags for all the youth, we had a White Elephant gift exchange, I whipped up a big pot of beefy vegetable soup and another mom brought some homemade cornbread.  All in all, it was great! The kids had a blast and the adults had a blast laughing at the kids!

Pictures to follow!

Feelin' Puney again...

~Day 55~

     A little bit of bleeding this morning, but it stopped in less than 30 minutes so I'm not too worried.  Probably going to go ahead and schedule a doctor's appointment next week even though my work insurance doesn't kick in until January 1.
     I went ahead and ate my healthy breakfast sandwich with a glass of orange juice.  Then, I made a batch of cupcakes for a birthday luncheon we were going to at noon.  So, of course I had to sample my creation! Then I hopped in for a quick shower and just about tossed my cookies while I was in there.  I'm not sure if it was a combination of what happened earlier, or too much sugar caused a spike followed by a tremendous drop or maybe the shower was too hot for me right then-who knows but I felt really bad all of a sudden.
     I called Mom's cell hoping to talk to her about it while we drove to the party.  Instead, I got Dad (which is fine, I was just hoping to keep this kind of low key...) and a lecture about eating right, taking care of myself and going to the doctor (haven't been yet due to insurance complications).  Indirectly, I also had a wave of feelings of irresponsibility hit me.  What were we thinking getting pregnant?  We're doing good to make ends meet right now!  I just have to keep telling myself this baby is a gift from God and it was meant to happen. :)
     So at the party, I stayed away from the potato chips and no birthday cake (which wasn't a big deal really, I haven't been wanting sweets) and I ate a hamburger and some beans.
     I felt off pretty much all day-but started feeling better towards sundown.  We had all the youth over to our house for a bonfire, smore's & chili dog feast, and a movie.  For some odd reason, after I got a couple of chili dogs down, I felt a lot better.

P.S. Had a youth accept Christ-WHOOP!!

Oh progesterone, how you make my body do funny things!

~Week 7, Days 50-54~

Very emotional and achy/sore in my top region pretty much sum up this entire week. Along with a GAZILLION trips to the bathroom everyday.
