Its a really cool design and I look forward to the day I get a chance to try it!
Meantime I have no news as such to tell, no sewing done thats for sure. I'm too ouchy most of the time to do much. My days lately have been taken up with alarms and timers going off to make sure I eat when I need to, to get blood tests done when I'm supposed to. Not to mention trying to think *what* on earth I'm going to eat....
One aspect of Narcolepsy is not being able to deal with stress, so I'm pretty much sleeping all the time at the moment. Thank goodness this is (touch wood, cross fingers etc) only for the duration of the rest of the pregnancy, I dont know how people with regular diabetes cope!
Nevermind, mum is coming up to look after me soon, and I cannot wait!!! I'm itching to sew, I just need someone to stick me in front of the machine, pass me stuff so I dont have to bend or twist, and prod me awake every 2 minutes and then help me get up out of the seat afterwards.... Roll on Beanys arrival in January!!!!
Not long now chick! You've done brilliantly! Jxo
ReplyDeleteBest bit is your mum can prod you at the appropriate times and stick food in front of you.
ReplyDeleteGreat that there are just some more days and mum is here and congratulations to win this brilliant pattern! Take care!
ReplyDeleteHang in there...... it'll all be worth it in January. Glad your Mum is coming to help out xx
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah, you are having a rough time of it! My sister in law had gestational diabetes and it sucked. Thankfully it resolved as soon as baby was born. Stay safe till your Mum visits :) x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the pattern win! I admire your determination to sew and if my latest experience was anything to go by you want to do it before your bump gets too big to reach the machine!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad your mom is coming, I am sure it will be more fun to have her company and help.
ReplyDeleteWow, not long to go now. Thank goodness eh! Good to hear your mum is coming to tuck you in at night!
ReplyDeleteWould you like me to get my friend to contact you? She's a qualified dietician who got HD in her first pregnancy and has stayed diabetic. She's got some lovely recipes...
ReplyDeleteBet you can't wait for your mums arrival! I saw you had won the pattern, well done
ReplyDeleteso glad your mum is coming to visit! Yay for mums!!

What a great pattern Jess has come out with... I might just need to go and buy one of those! Handily it looks like it would make a terrific cot quilt! Ditto to all the other comments - pregnancy is a bitch. Hang in there...
ReplyDeleteThinking of you Sarah Xxx
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are going to get looked after for a bit.... and not long to go now...
ReplyDeleteI had GD with my last pregnancy. Luckily it could be diet controlled and I didn't need tablets or insulin. On the upside, I ate so properly I weighed 5kg less at the end of my pregnancy than I did at the start! I did find pricking my fingers to test the bsl did leave my fingers quite sore so hand sewing was out.
ReplyDeleteI swear it's not a bean, it's a watermelon ;o) Roll on the arrival of mammy!
ReplyDeletetry using the side of your finger it is less sensitive and you don't use it to feel things with...that will help with some of the "ouch" finger tips
