Time to update!!

What a week!! It has been a great week, just busy. I am seriously wondering if the summer will ever calm down long enough for us to enjoy it without something going on. Oh well. Uncle Sandy, and Aunt Jerri Lynn were in town from the 7-17 so that was fun. We (Aidan and I and occasionally Makenna and John) were over at my mom's every single day to maximize visitation time!! We had a great time just playing in Nana's yard and chatting. It gave me much needed breaks from our 1) hot apartment 2) from Aidan's energy 3) entertaining the kids. Not that I mind the latter two but.....you sometimes just need a break.

So Friday was back to normal. I had yet another appointment with the nutritionist and diabetic educator. Talk about negative Nelly. I was really irritated after meeting with the diabetic educator. She was telling me that my goals wouldn't happen and that it was unreasonable and that I needed to cut ALL sugar out of my diet (Gatorade was the main issue). I have been drinking about 1 Gatorade every 3-4 days or once a week because of the morning sickness on recommendation by my midwife. I told her that and she gave me a look as if to say that I was lying about it just to make an excuse. By the time I left I had had it. She also was eying Aidan and seemed irritated that I had to bring him with me. (In-laws were out of town, my mom was at my Aunt's surgery, no babysitters). The other gal thought it was great and that he was really well behaved for 3. Aidan didn't even talk until the NN (negative Nelly) mentioned putting cream cheese on waffles, french toast, or pancakes. He then said, "I like that!" It was really cute but she didn't think so. The annoying thing is I have to see NN every 2 weeks and she WILL be putting me on medication SOON as in before the next appointment or at the next appointment in her opinion. Not let's see how we can figure out how we can postpone the medicine as long as possible. OH well, I'm over it now. We'll see how next time goes.

As for my Aunt Marg who had her surgery yesterday!! She is in A LOT of pain, but the surgery went well!! Such a relief!! She has been fighting so hard against this cancer and has had many little battles along the way that it was nice to have this good news that the surgery went well!! So I am hoping that things continue to look up for her!

I should run, since John and Aidan are outside playing baseball and its lunch time and I haven't even made Aid's lunch yet. Oops. Oh well. So, until next time. I'll update definitely on Friday after my appointment with my midwife. We'll see what she says about the Gatorade thing. Grrr..... Oh well. Hope you all have a great weekend!!
