Abby is so funny right now. She thinks that everything is hilarious and keeps looking back at me to see if I'll smile at her. It's cute. She should be going down for a nap soon but if she wants to play I'll let her wear herself out a little more before she takes her nap. Hopefully that will keep her asleep longer. And now she brought me her favorite book... Fox in Sox...Right now I'm just waiting on a call back from the doctor. I think my blood sugar dropped last night. I was playing Halo with Tom, Mark, his roomie and my brother Michael (online)... I had an apple because I was feeling a little hungry and decided that would be a healthy choice. (and the apples from the orchard are so yummy) Ate that, played for awhile. Had a few glasses of water then saw the little Milky Way chocolate bar sitting on the counter. It was one of those snack sizes from the Halloween bags. Nothing huge. I've really craved chocolate lately and this is usually my way of getting a little chocolate without eating too much.
I started feeling really tired around 10-10:30 so told Tom that I was going to go to bed. I had chased Abby all day yesterday and was feeling worn out. Got ready for bed, took my meds. I 'think' I fell asleep and Tom came in about 30 minuets later, around 11. I was kinda out of it and I felt really shaky. Tom said that I felt really clammy. He was actually the one that asked if my blood sugar had dropped. I thought it couldn't be since I had eaten not long before bed to keep me going through the night.
Got up, tried to distract myself in case somehow I was anxious or something. Couldn't get rid of the shaky feeling but noticed I felt really hungry. I've been waking up at 2 & 3 in the morning just starving so instead of putting it off I got a bowl of cereal and took a warmish/hot bath. Felt better after this, went back to bed and fell asleep. The coyotes woke me up around 3 (really strange) but otherwise this morning I felt pretty good.
After I started thinking about it more I decided I should call my doctor and just let her know what happened last night since it is Friday. This is the 2nd time this has happened but I just thought it was nerves or something hormonal lol.
The nurse talked to me a little and I'm not overly thrilled with her. She isn't my regular nurse, Brooke is out today I guess. She just made me feel so stupid for deciding to eat a Milky Way bar. I'm not a diabetic, I've never had problems eating anything before or having blood sugars drop or anything like that. In fact, there are many times I've eaten stranger things at 11, 12 or 1am... I eat when I'm hungry. She told me a better choice would have been something with protein, granted there are a lot of things healthier than a milky way snack but it was so good... sigh... I realized this is the same nurse I talked to at 5pm when I had that weird pressure and she told me just to lay down. She made me feel stupid for calling then too.
She said she was going to talk with Dr. H and see what she said or if she was concerned about it at all. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that this time I have twins and they are stealing my sugars. But I had a good meal of roast, mashed potatos and corn at 7pm. That should have held me over?? I guess I'll just have to wait and see what she says. It's been 2 hours since she called me last, hopefully I'll know before it gets too late in the afternoon. Dr H just might be really busy.
I'll update with more later if they say anything interesting.
