Started my 2nd round of Betamethasome shots this morning. They are a steroid shot that helps the babies lungs develop. The shots increase your blood sugar, so I also get to have my blood sugar checked for the next several days. (Lots of finger pokes!) At lunch today I ate way too many carbs, and ended up needing six units of insulin. My blood sugar was 212! I didn't feel any different, but they tell me that is pretty high. The nurse said they normally don't do anything until it is over 200. I am feeling better today than yesterday, so I am sure we can make it through the week. The doctor still ordered ultrasounds for Wednesday and Friday.
Bill is working today, so I had a quiet day. Later in the evening I got a surprise visit from my neighbors, Lori and Kelly.
This is a picture that Lori's daughter, Greer, made for me. Super cute!
