116 Units

That's how many units of insulin I am up to today. The number will probably go up on Wednesday too. :( NPH=Long Acting R=Rapid Acting

Breakfast NPH: 32 units
Breakfast R: 24 units
Lunch R: 10 units
Dinner R: 18 units
Bedtime NPH: 32 units

I've started to believe it will never be under control

I don't know who I love more...

My husband or my jeweler! OK, so my husband would totally win out, but Byrnes Jewelers is a close second.

Bowser and I have been married for 2 years tomorrow. I love that man to distraction, most of the time. ;) For the moment, I have forgotten all the times I could have strangled him. Because today he gave me my super secret anniversary present that we swore we wouldn't exchange this year. It was totally unexpected. But even more unexpected was how Byrnes Jewelers played along! Going so far as to do a mock survey, just to find out what I would really like. (They already knew of my love of amethyst)

Byrnes Jewelers is a husband and wife team, and I met the wife through Babycenter a few years ago. We bonded over our mutual love of all things Whovian. That would be Doctor Who, not Whoville. Doctor Who in Whoville would be really cool though... My first piece of jewelry from them was an Apsen leaf, that had been dipped in silver. I get compliments every time I wear it! I think I spammed my husband the link so he would get the hint that I wanted it.

Today, I wound up with a beautiful custom piece that Coleen took great care in making for me. My photos can not do justice to how beautiful they are in person.

Put A Tea Cozy On It

Do you read The Bloggess? My mommy board friends turned me onto her and her Giant Metal Chicken hijinks. She's awesome. Apparently she wrote a blog about circumcisions that I missed, but someone linked it to the board. I fell in love with her oh so true words:

Some people will say that they want their son’s penis circumcised (or uncircumcised) because otherwise "they’ll look weird" depending on whatever the parents are used to themselves. Newsflash: They all look weird. Because they're penises. And there's no amount of trimming, bedazzling, and tea-cozying that will change that.

Some people worry that their friends will judge their decision when they see them changing their kid’s diaper, and to that I'd say, "You probably shouldn't be friends with people who are checking out your baby’s penis.

Go ahead and admit it, who's thinking of a bedazzled penis now?

I have a new true love

Move over Bowser, it's all about Oikos. I love it so much, I might just change Yoshi's name! Oh, wait... That's another discussion.

So, I'm on insulin now. Knew that was coming. Doesn't mean I have to like it. I'm sick and tired of sticking myself with needles.

How Time Flies

I can't believe it's the 9th of September already. It doesn't feel like that long ago that Bowser (DH's new nickname) and I decided to start trying for #3! Honestly, it doesn't feel that long ago that Emmy was born. Or as she wants to be called now, Princess Daisy. (Let's see if I can remember that one?). She's going to be 6 in 31 days. :(
