Great Endo Appt

Maura's ped. endo appointment went great. She had her A1C checked. That is a test that uses your hemoglobin to check your average blood sugars. At diagnosis she was an 8, too high but not too bad. She is now 6.4! That is almost what a normal person is. We are, however, honeymooning. That means her pancreas is still working a little, so she doesn't need as much insulin as she will eventually. We don't know how long this will last so we just go with the flow until we see higher numbers that her dosage isn't helping. Then we up the dose. I do feel great about how well we are doing on our diet. Our endo is fantastic and always open to all our questions.

So we had mexican to celebrate since we were in the big city of Charlotte after all. (Of course we also went to a yarn store!) Wouldn't you know I underestimated the carb count so we were chases high BG's all day! Oh well, we finally did get it down.

Our pump comes friday the 4th! The joke around here has been what is going to be delivered first, the pump or the baby! I think the pump is going to win. So it will be about juggling classes and having a baby. My hope is we can get going with the 2 pump classes quickly, they are 3 days apart and that can happen before baby. Since I am usually 8-10 days late it might happen. I am not stressing, if we need to we can wait. I figure God's got it all worked out.

Busy today, next week really busy, then ??? A baby is going to arrive around here sometime! He/she is so squirmy in there! It's getting crowded. I am getting to the point where I don't think of much else other than meeting this incredible new person. So unknown, yet ever kick and turn so known. Never seen but always felt. Not a big part of our lives yet such a part of Mark and I. I am always flummoxed at a new person in our family. How could we have another distinct personality? The children are ALL so unique. Then they get here and I say, ah ha, that's who you are and there it is, all over again. The uniquely created individual that we all adore watching grow and become. How could we have not known it was you, baby? Every baby feels like the first time. I treasure every pregnancy. As this one is soon to end, I am trying to enjoy every kick and hiccup and memorize that feeling. What a privilege, I feel sorry for Mark!
