My last post I mentioned that I had a meeting/appointment with the diabetes clinic at the hospital. I made Brian go with me to it. Sometimes I feel like a ton of information that is thrown at me at once, just goes in one ear and out the other. So another set of ears, plus the support, was just what I needed. There were 3 other women in this meeting with me. All 3 were also pregnant, and all 3 with gestational diabetes. It was nice being able to talk to someone else that has it as well. Our meeting was very informational and I learned a lot! I was given a big folder full of recipes. And also meal plan samples. I have had to tweak some of the meal plans a bit, only because some things they suggest you have to go with a meal I may not like. I have a little monitor thing that I have to carry with me and prick my finger to test my blood sugar 4 times a day. So far every time I have tested it, it's been good! So how I'm eating now is helping!! I will admit that I'm still having cravings for ice cream...but I haven't caved yet! The nurse that instructed the meeting was really nice and funny. She basically said that if you have a craving for it...have a little of it, but not a big bowl like you normally would =) I'm sure that day will come, when I cave and have a spoonful or two of ice cream =)
So what else? Oh, Emma and I went shopping the other day. I had a gift card that I decided to use on her. Spoiled? No!! We went to AC Moore, and she just loves doing crafts and stuff. So we got a ton of stuff to do!
Bonus is that all the back to school sales are going on, so all the Crayola supplies were dirt cheap. Manly $1.00 and under!
Emma found these super cool flip flops that you can color yourself. She had a blast coloring them all different colors.
She was in deep deep concentration ;)
Final outcome! I think she did a great job with them =) And she had fun doing them too!
Today I came home to find a surprise on the doorstep.
I was sooo surprised to get all of this! The wonderful Bri from School in our Slippers sent this to me =) Now Alyx has her very first Thirty-One bags! When I started my blog, I honestly never thought anyone would read it. I stumbled across Bri's blog a while back and even though I have never met her, I feel like I have. She was so thoughtful to send this to us....so Thank you again Bri!!! =)
And speaking of Alyx...man is she a mover!! Constantly moving around! It's just the weirdest feeling because I don't remember Emma ever being this active, but I totally love it!
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend...it's me and Brians weekend to work. Emma is going to camp with my inlaws Saturday into Sunday. She's pretty excited! I ended up going to 4 different stores this afternoon looking for a pair of water shoes for her. Finally found them at the last store we went to!
Enjoy your weekend!!!!
