I'd be blasting a sound track of applause and cheering at appropriate moments.

So, I am at my sister's with #1 son. This is going to take some patience. I do have a reputation for having vast stores of same, and remarkable calm. Still going to test me. Trying to pick my battles. Today's first decision is how late to let him sleep in. When I went to bed at 10 something I made it abundantly clear that he was expected at computer at 8am to learn stuff if he really wanted to be my minion. He was up until at least 3am. Was outside talking loud on the phone at 1am. Playing league of legends. 6 vanilla cokes, 2 tubes of Ritz and a large container of soft cheese. You know where this is heading. Spoilerfont for the delicate. 7am massive barfing. Now when I was 23 I would have had to haul my ass to work no matter what. It is such a balance of my own peace and disrupting his. Right now I am just doing a bunch of the work I had been saving up to teach him.

May this be a spectacular week for Bitches. I am planning on having myself one no matter what!

Ugh Laura. You are a saint.

{{{Laura}}} All sorts of ~ma headed your way.

My readings have both been high this morning. I have no idea why.

How high? If it isn't adequately controlled by diet (This Is Not Your Fault!!), then they may have to put you on medication. Remember, only a few months. This is something you don't have control over, so just keep the end goal in mind.

Oh #1 son! I used to say Emmett ate like a dog face first in a garbage pail, and would literally eat until he threw up. But he learned. He really did.

Oh they do learn, that is one of those that I will pull out the "I told you so" cards on though.

A few points above average for this morning and 7 points above target for post breakfast.

What is target? Also don't know if your pregnancy will let you do this but a ten minute stroll immediately after eating does wonders for blood sugar - more than intense exercise, more than moderate exercise. It can be a strolll circling the living room while reading on your tablet or watching the tube.

My fasting target is 60-95, which I have yet to meet.

My two hour after meal target is 60-120, and I have met that target every day except this morning. I was fairly lazy on the couch yesterday. So, maybe that has something to do with it.

I have never heard of a blood sugar target below 70. 60 is low blood sugar. Not dangerously low, but not good and definitely cranky territory. Maybe GD is different but was that target given by someone who is a diabetes specialist? 120 is an ok top figure - I mean really it is good if you can manage. when you say post breakfast you mean two hours after breakfast? cause sooner you can't expect to be under 120.
