29w0d: Had Eva's Grammy and Pappy over to spend the night to come with her to Grandparent's Day at preschool tomorrow. She was so excited when they arrived! Eva had 3 pee pee accidents today and seems to be peeing constantly.
29w1d: Grandparent's Day was a huge hit with Eva. She was so proud to have them there to show off at school! We all went to lunch afterwards and it became incredibly clear that Eva is having trouble holding her urine. She had been doing so well and seems to have accidents everyday now, wakes up in the middle of the night to go and has to go constantly. My mind starts to panic out of concern she may be diabetic. I get my shot today and am asleep in the car before Matt gets me home. Passed out in bed in a 4 hour benedryl coma.
29w2d: Asking everyone I know their opinion on Eva's pee situation and diabetes. Get mixed reviews. Someone suggests that she may have a urinary tract infection. Apparently they sell at-home test kits for UTIs so I send Matt right out to the pharmacy and within 20 minutes from the time he is out the door we know that Eva has a raging UTI. I am so relieved I can't even stand it! And yet I feel like dirt for having given her a time out for peeing in her pants for the third time earlier that day. Called the on call doctor and they agreed to see her Sunday morning.
29w3d: UTI confirmed and zero sugar markers in her urine. THANK THE LORD! When given the choice between a flu shot in her arm and the mist up her nose, Eva shocked the world by choosing the shot! She was such a trooper and asked for daddy to hold her while she got it, which was A-OK by me because daddy is never there to be the shot person! She earned a pack of M&Ms out of and all was well with her world! She is so good about taking her UTI medicine!
29w4d: I had a chicken cobb salad from Panera today for lunch and skipped the bread. After an hour I took my sugar, which they want under 130 after meals and it was 49. FORTY NINE!! Felt sick to my stomach for hours as a result of that low sugar. I simply can't win!
29w5d: Matt's 32nd birthday has come and gone and so has one slice of his delicious chocolate cake! It messed my sugars up for an entire day, but it was amazing!!
29w6d: I had my regular OB appointment. Gained a pound so they were pleased with me! I say thank you to the slice of cake!
