Really the title should be “Blood Sugar”, but putting the word ‘blood’ in the subject line just seemed a bit over the top.
So speaking of “over the top”… my blood sugar was NOT over the top, the lab results actually showed that it looked pretty good! (translation: no gestational diabetes) (yeah, i didn’t think so…) I also wasn’t dehydrated. It did show slight anemia, which I already “knew” I was… simply because I was anemic last pregnancy. So my dilemma as of late has been finding iron-rich foods for the anemia, and protein-rich foods for the morning to keep my blood sugar at a normal level.
But you know, it doesn’t seem to matter what I eat or do anyway… I still feel utterly exhausted and completely uncomfortable. I’m now 31 weeks pregnant, and can’t WAIT for this pregnancy to be completed! I want a healthy baby of course, and there are too many risks for preemies…but I would love it if she came…even a day early! hehe 🙂
On another note:
NTBI quirks… I’ll share them as they come to mind. Only one comes to mind at the moment… probably because it’s my nap time…
-the first week (before most students arrived), Noe had put some restaurant crayons in his shorts pocket to give to Naya later. Well, it came time to do a load of laundry, and between us, we didn’t check his pockets. A whole load of whites/khaki…. ruined! ohhhhhh, precious crayons stains. 🙂 Thankfully we didn’t lose anything we loved too much, other than Naya’s adorable 4th of July shirt (which we only paid $4 for, so that was a plus). Oh, and my only pair of maternity shorts AND maternity khakis. So being 90-degree weather with no A/C in most places, we headed out that afternoon to find me a pair of shorts. 🙂
Today my lovely cousin Stacy is getting married in Seattle! Wish we could be there, but we’re so happy for her/them! She’s actually marrying a guy I knew from Grace Church when we were all so very young… what a small world! (Yes, he was in Praise Kids…)
We are getting set up with Skype— but we need to know who of y’all has Skype! Notify us somehow so we can get in touch with you.
