Baby is Good for Me

I'm 26 weeks today! Baby boy is a kicking fool.

After about a month and 1/2 of wrangling my boluses and basals I FINALLY have them working for me! My averages, courtesy of the Ping meter are a doctor's dream, or at least not a nightmare.

7 Day: 122
14 Day: 128
30 Day: 135
60 Day: 146

I'm happy with these as they're pretty REAL, with hardly any highs or lows to skew the numbers. But, as everyone says...don't expect to rest on my diabetic laurels when pregnant, I'll probably have to change everything again next week.

My Thyroid TSH levels are also in perfect order.

***Fun braggy note, my wonderful husband bought a Cuisinart Food Processor today! I'm slightly geeked up about that :) I'm hoping it matches the toaster...otherwise they can't live next to each other.
I'll be making homemade baby food for the boy, so this monster will come in handy! I still have a bucket of tomatoes to process into a salsa so it will be broken in properly. I'm just thinking of shredding cheese for homemade lasagna...so much better than packaged sprinkle cheese.

Boozy Beets?

I'm reading up on lacto-fermenting vegetables, in preparation for my abundant harvest I'm hoping for this year. One random article said, "Just be careful not to cut beets too small as they contain a lot of sugar and can produce alcohol." Hmm...beet wine anyone? Does it exist? Further research is needed on this one! *** Oh good Lord...it does exist! http://jinman2871.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/beet-wine/ from randomly searching and found the Prairie Girl blog!

Pelmet Tutorial

Finally here it is! These are super easy, quite quick and don't cost much at all. Things you'll need: Foam board (use your Micheal's coupons!) Cotton batting-I bought the crib-size and still have leftovers Fabric Glue gun and glue sticks-I used 2 long ones Duct tape Picture hangers or small brackets of your choice Step 1: Measure your window width and cut or tape more than one piece of foam board together to fit the space if needed. I made sure it was at least 1" beyond each side of the wood moulding. Remember you'll add thickness and need to attach brackets. Mine were 64" long, 9" tall and the sides were 2" wide, your proportions may be different depending on the window size and style. Duck tape holds it all together nicely. I did add wooden chopsticks to the middle where I taped two long pieces together so it didn't bend. You won't have to do this if your window is smaller....

Summer Project!

Nothing to do with diabetes here, I just wanted to show the awesome cabinet I found on Craig's List and hope to be picking up tonight! It'll be my summer project, and Jeff has already said 'you'll never finish it' oh but I will. We desperately need the storage in our kitchen and there's a big, empty wall that needs something on it too. Here it is, not lookin' too hot. The red paint is actually glass in the cabinets. I'm very excited. It needs a good re-furbishing...not sure what finish I want it in, any ideas?
