I have a sugar 'come down' headache. 2 days and no sign of abating. And of course I can't take any of the lovely strong narcotic medication I have in the cupboard - only Tylenol (Paracetamol) - which barely says hello to the pain let alone banish it from my head. When I was pregnant with Dylan I had headaches constantly throughout the 2nd Trimester of pregnancy and I seriously hope that this will not be a repeat performance.
My blood sugar seems to be OK after 2 days of testing. For some reason it was quite different this morning 1 hour after breakfast than it was yesterday (despite eating exactly the same) but it was still within range. Also, for some reason, it shows up as too high every day when I test before supper. All the other tests are within the required range. I don't quite understand why as I've been eating only what I'm supposed to eat, but I guess they'll figure that out when I go for my next appointment.
On the baby front, 11 weeks today. I am beginning to feel, physically, like I'm moving towards the 2nd Trimester in that I'm not quite so tired, my skin is not quite so bad, I'm generally alot calmer and more 'serene' I suppose, and my stomach is definitely protruding with baby and not just fat!
D is being very cute about the whole baby thing. We're trying not to discuss it too much in front of him so that he doesn't feel threatened in any way. He does know that the baby is coming though, and he does talk about it now and again. Yesterday he asked me if he would have to give up his teddies (2 of which he currently won't go anywhere without) to the baby, and I reassured him that no, he didn't have to give away any of this things. Then he asked me if he could decorate the babies bedroom, pink if it's a girl and 'the same colour as my room' if it's a boy. So cute. He really is lovely right now, growing up into such a great boy. This morning he was following his dad around like a puppy helping him get ready for work - he absolutely idolises him. I was wondering how much longer we'll have that unrequited love from him before he deems us far too stupid / embarassing / annoying to bother with.

Posted by: Katie at January 14, 2004 12:27 PMROFL! Is G having a sympathy pregnancy or whatever they call it?
Posted by: Steve at January 14, 2004 10:47 PMYeah, he did last time too! It's going to be a big dog, that's all I can think at this point!
