My oldest (3) saw me putting in a new pump insertion and went “Wait! Wait!” because she was worried I was hurting myself. I explained that I was okay, there would be a loud click, but it was to keep me healthy. She watched me do it and then said “Okay! My turn!”
I was like “Gosh, I hope never…”

I was never a cake person, so my birthday treat is usually ice cream or a tiramisu or cookies or something.
Cake is so difficult to bolus for…
I hope his levels came down and he’s feeling better now. I remember walking around a restaurant parking lot doing the same thing before. ❤️

I was surprised to find out that my mom disliked the blue ceramic nativity I grew up with. I always loved it! So now it lives at my house.

That seems like success to me too!

And I’m a Mainer. I grew up having to lend a hand shoveling after every snow storm. We would snow blow the driveway ourselves.
But our houses and our community are built for that weather.

The only number I still have in my head is my mom’s cell phone.
I’m lucky if I read one book a month right now.
To be fair, having babies does things to your brain.

I didn’t have an iPhone until I was graduating high school. Everyone else had one, but I loved my phone with the little flip out keyboard.
I miss that thing…

I have a teapot that looks like an apple that I hardly use, but thoroughly adore! One day, I’m gonna have a big outdoor tea party and use all my teapots.

Was this ghost written by my husband?

When we got married, I remember the only time I got teary during the ceremony was at “in sickness and in health”. I was thinking about how my husband was going to be traveling through this with me with all my medical baggage.
He’s been a trooper and has brought me many a midnight snack. ❤️

There is risk to any medical choice. And doctors are humans who can make mistakes. They’ve also spent many many years learning in highly specialized fields.
But no doctor will ever force you to do something you don’t want to do.

I’m just grateful that I have a body that feels the lows and highs before my gear does anyways.
I know friends who don’t feel the lows when they happen until they’re in really dangerous territory.

It makes me think of how life changed after 9/11 in the US as well. Having a chronic illness with lots of medical gear, my luggage always gets shuffled through and searched. I’m just grateful that no TSA agent has ever tried to rip off my medical gear.

This time, I basically told hospital staff “That’s nice dear” and did what felt right. Third time around, I’m pretty confident in reading my kids, even as newborns.

This time, I pump when I feel like I need to and feed him when he asks and I have more than enough. Sometimes it’s every three hours. Sometimes I wait a little longer. But not being stressed means I produce more.
