Insulin... Insulin... Insulin...

Well, our trip to the doctor yesterday ended with an RX for 4 injections of insulin a day. I wish I could explain what a giant wuss I am when it comes to needles, but I don't think words can describe the wussiness. So, the thought of having to stick a needle in my stomach was truly terrifying. BUT... they made me do it in the doctors office to show I could do it. And it wasn't so bad there... Once I got home and had to do it was a different story. It took me about 5 minutes to actually muster the courage to stick myself and when I finally did it, I hit a capillary so it burned!!! Not as easy as the dr office.
It is truly not as dramatic as I make it all sound, it's a very small needle, but still!!! Needles!!!

Off to the Endocrinologist...

Well, my blood sugar has officially reached "out of control" status, so much that my OB has had my January 5th appointment with the endocrinologist bumped to this Monday. Everyday my blood sugar is higher and higher no matter my diet. It's kind of getting frustrating and a little scary at the same time. Keep us in mind this weekend and Monday as we find out what the next step is and whether it will involve insulin or not...

Almost 30 weeks...


We had our appointment today. The baby is doing great, but my sugar is not looking very good so we may be taking insulin the last weeks of pregnancy. We go see the Endocrinologist on the 5th and sonogram on the 8th. Then we will have one more sono before the little man is born to check his growth. We have to make sure he is not growing too fast and getting too big!
