20 Weeks 6 Days

The endocrinologist put me on insulin today. Yuck. I still have to eat a certain amount of carbs six times a day at specific times. However, I have to check my blood sugar 7 times a day instead of 4, and I have to inject insulin right before I eat each meal (3 times a day). At least I have given myself a zillion shots before, so it doesn't scare or worry me to have to do that. However, taking time and coordinating my life to do it three times a day is still a pain in the rear. I'm trying not to be crabby about it, but it is hard.

I've gained 21 lbs so far. That is too much according to the "experts," but I don't feel huge anywhere except my belly. We'll see what the OB doc says about it tomorrow.

Not much else to say, but I'll definitely have new info tomorrow.
