Pregnancy and Diabetes

I am pregnant and due in about two months and I just took my glucose test. Luckily it came back negative. I don't think I could handle taking care of two boys with diabetes and myself with gestational. I am very grateful to not have to do all three. Taking care of two boys with diabetes is not easy, but adding the fact that I am pregnant makes it even harder. The other day I was giving my oldest a new inset and it didn't stick properly so I had to do it again. I did it again and again it did not stick. I was soooo angry and sad; I started bawling! I was so mad that it wasn't working right and sad that i had to keep poking him. It was sooooo hard to keep inflicting unnecessary pain! It hurt so bad! I am sure a lot of the emotional was from being pregnant but having to inflict pain on your children is never something enjoyable. i have to remind myself that it is to help them. I am now in the process of looking for a numbing spray or cream. I wish I would have thought of it sooner; I actually got the idea from a lady who has a blog about her four boys, 3 of which have diabetes.
Now I will have to see how I can handles taking care of both boys with diabetes and a newborn. at least I have Heavenly Father to help; as well as a loving husband :)

Diabetes Dreams

I have many dreams good and bad about type one diabetes in regards to my boys. They are mostly scary and I don't like to repeat them. My boys will also have dreams involving diabetes; those too are normally scary. But this morning as I am watching my 4 year old get ready to check his blood, he laughingly says, "the meter monster ate all the girls strips" :) He then says that in his sleep he saw a meter monster that ate this girls strips. He thought it was so funny! I am grateful that there are aspects for him to find entertaining. My almost 7 year old usually has nightmares; especially when his blood sugar is high. I am just very grateful that my boys are, more often than not, willing to get insets or shots. Type one diabetes is not fun but I am glad we can "make" fun with it :)

WOW a New post!

I am pretty sure no one follows my blog anymore because I never update it. It has almost been a year since my last post :( I really wanted to share a blog I found of a lady with four boys, three of which have type 1 diabetes. I really like her blog even though more often than not it makes me cry. It is how I feel for the most part and how life really is. She really explains things well so that other people can understand what life is like raising kids with type 1 diabetes. Her most recent post is one of my favorites and something I have been trying to get people to understand. So I decided to put her blog her so ya'll can check it out. :) http://www.ourdiabeticlife.com/2011/11/diane-sawyer-im-ready-for-my-close-up.html Enjoy!
