Shucks, so much has happened that I don't even know where to begin....So let's start with a high level summary:
- I left my job in corporate and despite leaving my benefits and other perks I decided to follow my heart and accept a position at a university. This was supposed to give me a more balanced life and initially I only worked 3 days a week, which was great (gave me more time with my daughter) but now I generally work a full 5 day week and sometimes more. My husband says it's because I'm a type A personality and I'll find work even if none exists lol
- I was also pregnant again and gave birth to a healthy little boy (double trouble). This time though I did it without epidural HELLO PAIN! It just happened so quickly that there wasn't enough time to administer it....I'd NEVER do it like that again though. Also I didn't know that my son wasn't breathing when I gave birth as the umbilical cord was also around his neck (I was too busy getting stitching to notice that there was no crying!!). Thank God that by the time he was brought to me he was breathing and I never knew that anything was wrong. I only found out the next day that it was the case.... Thanks to my awesome gynae, Dr Kate Richardson, for being so calm during the whole thing too.
- I'm still using my pump and now though I tend to have more infusion site problems. They get bent quite often. I guess it's because of the lumps and bumps of years of injecting under my skin...So my infusion site works initially but over time it becomes less and less effective. I'll have normal blood glucose levels and then highs suddenly for no reason. Then I know that it's time to change.
- Now I'm busy doing my PhD. I'll give more information in my next post as I'd like your help please :)
