I had the privilege of being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the glorious age of 14. Awkward Jr.High-going-into-high school girl. I started out on NPH and Humalog, shortly after my doctor suggested going on Lantus and 4 shots a day, and did that for several years.

Through those several years I was in and out of the hospital for more times than should be allowed a young girl. Eating disordered and sick. Through the insanity I met my darling Husband, he was SO key in getting me through it all, he encouraged me to get on my insulin pump and to strive for over all healthiness. Now, we've been happily married for nearly a year, 1 year on June 29th. :D

This used to talk about how I was striving to be healthy and take care of myself as my Husband and I would like to have kids one day - Well, that has obviously changed!!

Shortly after I joined this site my husband and I found out we were expecting last April, and as of December 17th, 2008 we have the most beautiful little girl! My pregnancy was completely uneventful except for the normal pregnancy ails of discomfort and heartburn. :) She was born after a quick 9 hours of labor and was 9 pounds even. We all wonder where she keeps the 9 pounds because she looks so tiny and fits very well in normal newborn clothes. Lol! :D

Now, we're adjusting to life with a newborn and I'm trying to figure out how to balance the blood sugars yet again! :D
