I went to the doctor yesterday for my first check up for the pregnancy. I guess I wasn't excited because I was worred about the fetus not being viable becuase that's happend to my brothers's girlfriend a couple of times and I was just afraid. I was able to see the baby and the hearbeat and so far everything looks good. I did get a huge lecture because my sugar levels have been really bad. I've been trying to get them down, but no such luck. I know it's a huge deal having high sugar levels, but I'm not eating huge amounts of carbs or sugar and they are still high. The doctor did say that this was normal and that I had to increase my insulin and I've been diong that slowly. I also have to quit smoking and I'm working on that too. They told me not to just stop cold turkey and that I should cut back until I stopped. I was able to do that with my son but I didn't live with two other smokers at the time.
I've told almost everyone in my family and yes, I did get yelled at by my sister because she thinks I'm not responsible. She told me I could have waited a couple of years, but I'm 31 years old and diabetic. The older I get the harded it is on my body. If I had waited, things could be worse for me and the baby.
My daughter and I were talking about this whole thing and she's happy about it. She told me that she wants a girl because her little brother can be a pain at times. We were talking about names and I would like to use my twin sister's first name as a middle name, but I can't think of anything that goes with Mindy being the second name. Any suggestions would be great.
I'm off to Illinois on Saturday to see the Momma. She received her first round of chem last Monday and now we wait 21 days for the second round. So far she's feeling ok but not great. Her white blood cell count has dropped and I'm worried about the trip because my daughter is sick at the moment. I talked to the doctor and he said that if my girl is running a fever we should keep her away from mom. He said that she has an upper respitory infection and tested her for strep and I'm waiting for the test results. If it's not strep he said that she could be better by this weekend and we may not even have to worry about it. If it is strep then she will get some meds and should be ok by then with the anitbiatocs. I know my spelling is terrible, but you get the idea! I'll be back next weekend. Have a great week.

I'm glad to hear that everything is going ok with you, and your baby. I won't preach to you about your diabetes, just take care of it! :0)
You and your mom are still in my prayers. I hope everything goes ok with the rest of her treatments, and that your little girl gets better, soon *hugs*
