So school is in full swing!! I have 5 research papers to write and then my seminar paper. Stress has begun to hit and thus I have upped my basal during the week while I am at school. This new basal will last me till I graduate in May. I am hoping when I get a job after I graduate it wont be as stressful as all these papers! I swear stress does crazy things to my sugars.I feel like I am bouncing all over the place. I go back to the endo in April and I am bringing up getting a Dexcom. I think having that might at least take some of the diabetes stress off.
On to other things Stephen and I bought a new king size bed! I am SOOOO very excited!! We have a queen right now and between us and Maddux and Shadow there is absolutely no room. And I know most people just say kick the pups off but I just can't. I love having my whole family there snuggling with me! The bed comes in Friday!! Seriously I can not wait! I already bought the new comforter so when it is all set up I will add some pictures! We also got a new refrigerator. It comes in Monday... I feel so grown up now new bed, new appliances what big people purchases =)
Well back to researching since I do not think I will have much time tomorrow b/c of a doctors appointment

The pump...

So I have been on the pump for about a month now. I think we have gotten my basal all worked out YAY. And then we found out I am allergic to the adhesive (go figure I get everything). I would have a perfect oval rash where my site was and my cannula would get all bloody. Seriously it was NASTY! Don't worry I have thought about sharing pictures but I wont mostly because most of my sites are on the top of my butt. Well I have started using Skin Tac and all seems well so far =). Also found a new favorite site placement, my leg. And I only tried this because all my other normal places were all messed up from the allergy that I need them to rest. I used to HATE taking shots in my legs! And yes I got really excited for this new site placement and that it was comfortable. Believe me if it was allowed I would have probably taken off my pants and showed everyone how awesome this new site placement is (It is the little things that make me the happiest). Stephen thinks I am a little nuts. But so far so good and I am still enjoying the pump.
