Diabetes Alert dog-Brody! Welcome to the family!!!

So as much as I loved the CGMS I found that during the night it would have a lot of false readings and therefore I became immune to the sensor alerts.
With three precious children all under the age of 5, and my husband deployed for over a year, I decided that if anything were to happen to me I would never forgive myself (if that kids had to find me unconscious (or worse) So, right after I miscarried I met with some trainers out of PA that train service dogs. They are an amazing… Continue

GIRL!
That's right, we found out the day before my hubby deployed that we are expecting a girl! We are so excited and I just wanted to share the good news with everyone! My boys said that it's okay as long as she's a "girl-boy" (tom boy) no problem there with 2 older brothers! I can' come up with too many names that I like, so if you have any suggestions, send them my way! Say a little prayer that this pregnancy continues to stay healthy and strong! Thanks for sharing in my joy!

Pregnancy number 4

I am truly blessed. I have had diabetes for over 23 years and have been blessed with two beautiful and perfectly healthy boys (4 and 2) As some of you may know, I miscarried on my son's 4th birthday while in my 2nd trimester. This was a terrible and traumatic experience for me, but one that I can be grateful for now as it has made me re-realize just how fragle life can be. It also helps me relate to so many other women who have experienced similar loss, and offer compassion.

I am no longer pregnant...update in the making

After reading my last post I have decided that it is time to update everyone. It has been a rough couple of weeks, and on my oldest son's 4th birthday I started having horrible pains during his birthday party, and subsequently was rushed to the ER only to find out that I was miscarrying at nearly 5 months. It was awful and scary and I have been having a really tough time processing all of it, but slowly am starting to come out of it and am trying to focus on my beautiful boys and count my… Continue
