Had A Good Saturday
Haircut. Shopping. Lunch. Nap.
At least once every festive season, Simon and I take advantage of 4 for 3 on party food at M&S and have ‘nibbles’ night. That night is tonight. We have assorted indian chicken, assorted chineese dumplings, assorted shrimp toast things and mini-pizza. YUMMY!
Had a hypo while in town. Even after eating two breakfasts. Good excuse to buy chocolate coins at Boots!
So, Yesterday I Was 12 Weeks
So one more week and officially out of the first Trimester. Too bad I’m still feeling nauseous a lot. And exhausted. And in a new symptom, slightly heartburnish. Yay!
Wacky numbers from yesterday have evened out, so that was apparently just a fluke day.
I got my Christmas box from my dad today. I wonder what’s in it?
Huh.
If you had held a gun to my head and asked me if I took my hat and gloves with me when I left the office, I would have said yes. And you would have shot me for lying.
When I got in this morning, there they were, on my desk. Huh.
In other interesting news, I received an email today from the assistant to the PA of a CEO. Since I am the PA to a CEO I asked if I could have an assistant. I was told no. Mean bosses.
In other other interesting news, the hypos are getting very old. But do give me an excuse to eat a bit more than usual!
Saw Endo Today
Insulin being increased, cuz my morning numbers are a bit high. That was about it.
Had my first hypo at work today. That was fun. I keep juice in the fridge there, so I was fine in a few minutes.
And I lost my favorite hat and my gloves today! No idea when or where. I am so bummed! And its frickin’ freezing!
First Day Back To Work
and it was okay. I was nauseaous pretty much all day, which was less than fun, but I made it through without hurling, which is fab!
Totally exhausted and probably heading to bed around 9!
I think I can make it through the next two weeks and then I’m on holiday for the following two weeks!
Gotta love the end of the year!
In other news PSA.
So I Now Wear
on my right wrist one of these. It has my name, that I have diabetes and that I take insulin. It says all that so that if I am in an accident, or found unconscious somewhere, the EMTs will know to check my blood sugar and such.
I fought against getting one for ages. But considering I am going low at least a few times a week, and that I am heading back to work tomorrow, I decided it was better to be safe than sorry.
Its not horribly unattractive, although hardly fashion jewlery. And it may save my life one day.
This Morning Has Been Less Than Pleasant
Woke up too early. Felt fine. Ate breakfast. Thought I was going to hurl. Went back to bed. Slept 2 more hours. Had snack. Felt like I was going to hurl. Went back to bed. Slept for another hour.
I feel okay now, but I am wondering how I will feel after lunch.
And I think we will need to name this child Olive Pickle, after the two things I am totally craving!!
I’m Feeling Much Better
Definitely going to work on Monday.
Not much going on really. Just getting a bit bigger every day. Went through a lot of my work clothes this week and retired them to the spare room closet for the duration. I told them I hoped to see them again in about a year or so. Maybe 2 years.
Looking forward to Christmas. I am off work from the 22nd until the 5th. Nice long break. We’ll be in Derry for the actual Christmas holiday and then back home for New Years Eve. Which we will spend in our usual exciting style of watching a movie. I might even have a sip of champers. They are now saying a glass a week is fine after the first trimester. They will probably change their minds next week.
Pregnancy Dreams
I have had two now where the baby was a boy.
The one last night started out normal enough, with boy baby. Then there was this nurse who thought there was something odd going on at the hospital so she went to speak to the head of the hospital about it, but before she could the building he was in blew up. My brother turned out to be the guy investigating the explosion. Which is very strange because my brother works in marketing. Not law enforcement. I do actually have a brother who used to work in law enforcement, but it wasn’t that brother in the dream.
My psyche is odd.
On and I’m 11 weeks today.
