I went to the doctor yesterday and she took a look at my insulin levels for the last few days. They haven't been great. It's frustrating when I follow the diet to the letter...portioning, weighing and measuring everything...and sometimes by blood sugar is still really high. Makes me want to eat pastries anyway!!! Just kidding. Mostly. Anyway, she upped me to 14 units at night before bed. On Monday I am supposed to email her my levels for the weekend and she'll decide whether or not I need to add another dose of insulin in the morning. Sugar is so lame...
In other news I think the baby may try to birth herself "Alien" style. As in Alien the movie. You know the scene where they're sitting around a table (eating perhaps?) and all of a sudden the guy starts freaking out and a few seconds later, out pops a baby alien from his abdomen? Well, I think baby Beswick (or baby Bacon as our friends call her...it's Jeff's favorite food) thinks she may pull an ode to the cinema and bust out of here via my abdominal wall. She is seriously beating me up. Really. I don't know what's going on in there but it involves a punching bag and/or kick ball.
Last night Jeff and I took an infant CPR class at the hospital. It was 3 HOURS LONG! And we didn't even get certified! Lame. We learned a lot though and they included adult and child CPR as well. At the very least we can have second careers as EMTs one day. The manequins were kind of scary though.
If the weather is nice this weekend we'll take more pictures of the front yard and nursery to post.

Hey Whit - Hang in there! I know the diabetes is rough and frustrating -- I can remember at my birthing class all the mom's insisting they wanted their husbands to bring champagne to the birth so they could drink -- and all I wanted was big fat cake waiting for me! The discipline is worth it though. Do they have you walking after meals? In addition to all the nutrition gudiance, I had to walk for 20 minutes within 20-30 minutes of eating at each meal -- it helped a lot to reduce my sugar levels during the multi-daily pin cushion exercise.
