OMG. Jack & Zoe are unbelievably cute.

...do they have little baby friends called Duncan and Jane yet?

Also, meant to say that I hope your mom is doing OK, Hill.

...do they have little baby friends called Duncan and Jane yet?

Hah! I just barely get that reference and I'm sure their mom wouldn't at all.

They are insanely cute! I was over there this morning after running with their mom and they were just waking up and were both all smiles. My day she is made! (if only it had made me more productive workwise)

Wasn't somebody here in Paris this year and saw something featuring a character called Zoe the Pirate? Does that ring any bells?

::hands amych a tissue to staunch the blood::

Congratulations! When's moving-in day?

Thanks, love! That was getting messy, and the keyboard belongs to work...

The big move is this weekend, but we'll have the old place until the end of the month if we still need to shift things around in dribs and drabs and carloads. Assuming the old place hasn't fallen apart completely by then.

Hooray for the definitive signed-in-blood house-having, amych!

Tep, I honestly did not know that about diabetics. The only ones I've known are some Buffistas and a few of my relatives, who are all smart and conscientious and proactive about it and just attend to it because, well, it's just sensible and reasonable. The "sensible and reasonable" part of it should have tipped me off to their probably not being very representative of the general population.

ION, who is the Queen of the Doing of Stuff? ME. Accomplished this morning before going to work: All dishes done, kitchen counters wiped down, recycling taken out, small bedroom bookshelf completely cleared, wiped down, transferred to the living room, and rebooked, both old and new resting places for the bookshelf vacuumed and swept and cleared of all dustbunnies and miscellaneous detritus, and two more books set aside for the trip to Half Price Books. All that, and only 10 minutes late for work.

On the other hand, I would now like to take a 3-hour nap, which is a bit of a problem what with the being at work and all. Still, Queen of the Doing of Stuff.

yep, that was me.

Good vibes for the move, babe.

::cringes:: I'm Type II. I had gestational diabetes with my first two pregnancies, and was an "official" Type II with the third, and each time I had use insulin (because oral meds haven't been tested in pregnancy, and because my blood sugar was too high to control with diet alone).

I was *scrupulous* about my diabetes when pregnant -- it's not entirely sensible to fool around with insulin levels, for one, and having had a few minor low-sugar episodes, it's scary. Also, a whole new human growing inside, which inspires you to really take care of yourself. Now, though? I take oral meds, but I don't check my sugar the way I ought to, and I don't often pay attention to my diet outside of avoiding really obvious sugary things, like juice and regular soda, and not eating three doughnuts at once. It's actually amazingly easy not to pay attention to it, although I know I should.

lisah, I looked through some of the other baby pictures.

IME, the vast majority of people* who take medication for ANY chronic condition will at some point (or two or three) decide to experiment and play around with skipping doses, etc. It seems to be human nature to assume that chronic conditions magically heal themselves while we're on meds, and not remember until we stop taking them that there's a reason they're called chronic.

(*I'd say "all" except I know what crowd I'm talking to...)
