the last two nights both kids have been up at usually right after we get back into bed after tending one the other is up for something.  Last night Caleb spent a good part of the night in the bathroom w/ an upset stomach.   Bo for once slept through til 5 at which point he didnt want to go back to bed.  we finally got him settled in after taking turns trying about 6:30 a.m.   In anticipation for another long night, already lacking sleep for days, and feeling atogether crappy myself, I went to be shortly before 9 pm.   Dean stayed home but I dont know til when.   i didnt really care I just wanted to catch up on some sleep.    This morning I’m trying to let him sleep in but it gets boring being w/ the kids alone and knowing he’s here to hang out with us.  He says his stomach hurts too so I’m dreading getting it myself.

Somehow I’m wondering if the fact I got a decent amt of sleep for once affected my sugar level since for the first time since staring to check it several times daily it was normal when I woke up.   that or the fact I didnt eat a snack before going to bed, although my meal plan includes 3 meals and 3 snacks including one before bed.   But that theory went out the window when I ate hardly anything for breakfast and my normal sugar level one hour later was once again high. heck, I just checked it again, thinking I had checked it ten minutes too early, and it’s even higher and I didnt eat or drink anything during that time! By the end of the day my levels normalize but from waking til sometime late in the day my sugar level always high.  I imagine I’ll be on insulin a lot sooner than I was with Bo’s pregnancy.

We’re not going to church today due to the looming illness amongst us. I’m bummed because I actually feel much better than I did yesterday just tired and in some pain off and on.   I’m trying to let Dean sleep but I get bored and frustrated having to deal with them alone on the weekends esp. knowing next weekend Dean’s spending all weekend working his second job.  the money will be good but the stress for me makes me wonder if it is really worth it.   I’m hoping to go w/ my mom to the shore to visit my brother on Saturday but not for sure yet.  We’ll see how we’re doing later this week.   When looking back at my blog for my pregnancy for Bo, I saw that I had preterm labor issues at 30 weeks, this pregnancy that has already happened so I’m dreading what will happen the further along I get.   Adding the high sugar levels doesnt help issues and I really am noticing a lot of swelling these last few days and I know thats not good either.   I always have at least once that they check for toxemia and that’s happened this pregnancy already and it’s so early.  I’m hoping that these fears are just that fears, nothing that will come true.  that things wont get worse than they have been but the way I’m feeling and knowing how the last two pregnancies went, I’m not so sure what to expect.

well Dean finally got up, suprised it took him so long, I cant get caleb to stop being loud and Bo keeps talking loudly too for some reason.   If it was me I’d be up, thus why I am, because I cant sleep through any noise, Dean on the other hand has slept through a tornado before so I know nothing keeps him from his sleep.    Pray we all get and stay healthy.  Hoping Caleb is well enough for school tomorrow, I have a drs appt and it’s bad enough I have to take Bo w/ me.   Hope everyone else had a good weekend!!f
