Appt #14 – Endo
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, LOVE MY ENDO. All went well, he adjusted my overnight basal rate again. Said I should just be pregnant all the time because I have better sugars while preggo. Well yeah I’m…
Runnin’ Out of Real Estate
Soooo, my belly has popped WAY faster this time around. I have no belly button, it just doesn’t exist, no even as an “outie.” So I’ve had to move my pump site to my sides much quicker than I thought…
Why I blocked you from my FB feed

Blood
Got a call about my labs. Current A1c: 6.7% I’m mixed about it. Happy of course, but know I should be lower. At this point in my last pregnancy my A1c was 5.8%. Yikes. At the start of this pregnancy…
