I think I might be loosing my mind...

Sorry I have been a bit MIA.  Between puppy stuff and keeping a family of six healthy and happy and sort of clean, I have been busy!  My two year old is going through a stage where he likes to get in your face and make the most annoying sound ever. He does it to all of us and he gets a reaction so he keeps it up.  It's wearing on me (and everyone else as well and since I am the mom they think I have control over his antics so they whine to me about it).

Bekah is going through what I think may be a growth spurt.  Her numbers have been scary high.  No ketones (we check those often too)  I am going to bare all here...7 day average is *gulp* 256  *gulp*  I have changed sites and locations of sites, changed insulin and tweaked basal rates like a crazed honey badger and still Bekah's last check was 444.  ACK!  I am determined to get this (insert profanity) tamed!  My plan is after doing more tweaks today (I am sticking with the 3 day rule) to see what tomorrow holds and if things are not better then making an appointment to have a bone scan done to see if early puberty is the culprit for making insulin act as water in the house. 

On a positive note, I made a video to help raise money for Bekah's dog, Sarah.  It turned out pretty cute I think except that the music track is a bit off.

  3. The video is so sweet! I actually teared up because I have owned animals all my life. They are so loyal and loving.(smile) I can only imagine the wonderful bond that Sarah and Bekah are going to have. From the video, I can see that it's already begun!

  4. Honey, you just swim for a bit over there....a new puppy is akin to a new baby.

    Maybe even more work, since you can't pop the puppy on a boob to make everything okay.

    I love the pics and I can't wait to hear more about they journey.

    But there's time for that.

    Right now you need to be exactly where you are!!!!

  5. Heidi- we've been having those crazy highs, too and the culprit has to be growth because he's eating nonstop and sleeping like a rock. I hope things smooth out for you guys soon and that your little guy finds a new fun antic. Ethan goes through those "fun" moments often, too with finding annoying behavior and using it over and over and over to get a reaction, it is tough.
    Take care friend :)
