Yesterday was awful. I stayed home with DD and took her to the doctor and she has croup. They gave her a steroid and she was all over the place. Finally around 4 she was mid tantrum probably number 20 and was hitting me and passed out for 2 hours.
And I was so excited to see the eclipse because we live in an area where we were supposed to see 94% coverage and it was cloudy and rainy so I didn't see anything!
After DD woke up I had a terrible migraine for the rest of the night.
Hopefully today is better! I'm back at work so at least DH gets to deal with DD today.

Good morning! I am tired and my throat hurts. It has been sore on and off for days and it's getting annoying now. I have to call the hospital to try and reschedule my A/S. I have a work thing Monday that I can't really get out of. I suppose I can go to work afterwards but it takes a really long time and I am afraid I won't have a sitter for G in the evening of work runs late. ETA: I just called the hospital back. They are doing my scan on Tuesday instead of Monday. I was hoping for this week but at least I was able to reschedule.

Back at work after a long weekend. I spent yesterday working on some things for the nursery and cleaning up my home office/craft space. I cut vinyl labels for the storage totes I bought at Ikea this weekend and sorted all of the hand me down clothes by size and put in the totes. I got everything out of the nursery closet and the old shelves taken down, we are going to paint the closet and install a new closet organization system (Closet Maid, nothing too fancy). The closet is about 8 1/2 feet wide and it only had one wire shelf across the top so there was a ton of wasted space, especially when you think about hanging baby/toddler sized clothes. We bought a pre-made kit that fits a 7-10 ft closet at Home Depot this weekend.

Morning!
H is taking DS to the shop this morning to get the van's oil changed, so DD and I have another bit of a morning together!
I have to share this, DS felt his first kick last night! I was sooo excited for him to be able to feel it! It's still so subtle, but he had the patience to sit with me last night. I can't wait until the big flips so DD can see/feel it too!
Poof

Morning! sarahh I hope DD. Gets better quickly! Croup is so miserable! I thought the eclipse was cool, but I'm glad I didn't travel to totality (where we live it was 96%... good enough for me)! marygracerich I also have my a/s on Tuesday! Hopefully we both get lots of good news tiffrobot so cute!! Love that. DH is out of town tomorrow through Friday, and my work schedule is so insane that may parents are actually keeping DS the whole time. Otherwise it would be a ton of back and forth between houses, with me seeing DS for like an hour a day. I'm kind of looking forward to alone time after work!! Hellooooo HGTV.

tiffrobot that is adorable! I haven't been able to feel any outside kicks yet but I'm pretty sure I have an anterior placenta. Can't wait for those! clm585 that sounds amazing, that plus not having to share a bed with anyone! So jelly

Today is the second to last day of peaceful bed resting. DS's daycare shuts down after tomorrow until September 6th for summer break so I'm praying so hard I get cleared off bedrest after my a/s wed or else I'll be screwed.
I also have another appointment at the endocrinologist and I'm pretty sure she might suggest insulin for me. My fasting glucose numbers just won't get in range but all of my other post meal ones are perfect. I know the fasting numbers are due to the hormones, I'm just feeling defeated because my eating has been so bang on perfect and it didn't help 😔 oh well

With Ava even when my eating was perfect my numbers were a little higher (she wanted 120 or less and mine would be about 125-130) than she wanted. Not dangerous levels by any measure but higher than she wanted. She put me on an oral med but I can't remember the name of it. Have you tried a high protein snack late at night right before bed? That might help the fasting number some.

Sorry for the shit day yesterday, sarahh! Hope today is better. I was dumb on Sunday and built furniture and lifted things I shouldn't and my back went out on me that night. My chiro helped yesterday, but it is still sore. This morning I taught a class and then we played at a nearby park. After DS's nap I'm taking him to his 3rd haircut! Boy has a ton of hair lol.

tiffrobot soo cute! When we woke up this morning my hubs put his hand on my belly and felt a big kick he was excited! 😍 maddisonrose my gf told me she would have to eat right before going to bed like a protein yogurt and carb and it would help her fasting numbers! - looks like April covered this, great minds think alike 😜 @martgracerich you still spotting? Hope it stopped, hugs! +2 for ultrasound on Tuesday!

That might help the fasting number some. Thanks, I will definitely ask about those. I've tried high protein snacks, paired with higher carb, lower carb, bigger snacks, pretty much everything. But even my numbers right before meals aren't on target even though my 1 and 2 hour post meals are perfect so I really just don't get it at all

Or mine is under-doing testing... Hang in there and even if you end up on insulin it won't be because you "failed" at doing it yourself. Just do the best you can, you can't control how your pancreas reacts.

Freezing at work today. Boo. I am planning my day off with DS tomorrow, teacher work day before Kindergarten starts on Thursday. No idea why they can't just do a nice 3 day weekend and start on a Tuesday.... or that since its a daycare the whole center closes... oh well, so taking yet another day off but hope the weather will hold out so we can go swimming and have some fun together.

Wife has diabetes, I know it's not the same as GD but it can get a bitch sometimes. FX they find a solution for you that isn't insulin!

It sounds like you're going above and beyond here... if you need meds, you need meds. Definitely not because of something you're doing wrong. Hugs bc it all sounds incredibly frustrating.

I am trying to get the motivation to fold this mountain of laundry! I guess I should head downstairs and watch teen mom and start folding, an iced coffee will also help! 😊

Working away here and already can't wait for my bedtime, haha. DD decided to put herself to bed last night for the first time ever and I'm hoping she does it again tonight! We also have a couple preschool tours set up for later this week and each place has immediate availability. We are going to end up spending more than we hoped, but such is life I suppose.
I also decided I'm not going to "announce" at work. My boss knows, but I'm going to let everyone else figure it out when my belly starts growing.

G and I have eaten dinner and are now relaxing. She is playing and I am watching tv. She is kind of acting like a nut but in a cute way. I can handle it for the next hour. 😊

My fall classes started yesterday and the stomach flu is going around daycare so they were closed today. Of course, this is the one day I was required to be on campus to lecture so DH had to take the morning off. My classroom set up is very strange and I don't like it. Since I'm still recovering from the flu, pacing around a room and lecturing in a large lecture hall for 50 minutes had me almost wiped out. I felt like such a wimp but realized all I did was lay around the past two days. I'm going to get a clicker for the projector so I am not running back and forth to the computer during each lecture.
I'm hoping to keep up around here but life will be a lot more hectic now that I'm back up to my 4 courses teaching load.
