The emergency room bracelet. That night wasn't totally miserable - just took a long time to get from start to finish - but we're ready to do whatever it takes to maintain this high-risk pregnancy and get BSparl here safe and sound.
(Also, the bracelet is in lovely, IDF blue. So that's something.)

This candy bar, courtesy of my dLife baby shower (for reasons that take waaaay too long to explain here), has been in my fridge for ages. And I'm determined to keep it there for "just in case" emergencies, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to devour it within the week.

We registered for a lot of serious baby stuff, like the stroller and the car seat, etc. But this was a top choice of my husband's, and I can't blame him. Cookie Monster freaking rules, and BSparl will be a fan, like it or not!

The Animas insets have these coiled little tapes that snake around the sticky adhesive of the set. You have to peel these off before you can apply the set to your body. After a set change, these end up mostly in the bathroom garbage, but sometimes I leave them on the counter by mistake and they look like a reptile infestation.

BSparl and I, rocking the 32 week mark. That's eight months, in pregnancy terms, but there are STILL TWO MONTHS TO GO how is that freaking fair?

D365: Day 68
I Googled "home remedies for pregnancy edema" and several sites mentioned boiling coriander seeds into a crappy tasting "tea"; and downing a hot cuppa.
Ew. It tasted like I was drinking boiling water from a cup that hadn't been washed properly, but I'm willing to try anything to retain possession of my ankle bones. :)

Thumbs up for wrist braces, that make me feel like a complete dork but I'm hoping help to make this hand swelling/carpal tunnel crap relax a little bit.

This book came in the mail, courtesy of my friend Jessica Apple from www.asweetlife.org. Her brother is the author, and I'm very excited to check out this book. From what I can tell, it's going to be a little different from the fruit comparisons found in What to Expect When You're Expecting. :)

D365: Day 65
This bag is where I stash my backup supplies. Couple of infusion sets, few reservoirs, bottle of Humalog, and some test strips. Oh, and batteries. And an insulin pen. And usually a real pen, too, but I'm not sure why that always ends up in there.
Either way, it's convenient to have a new bottle of strips or a pump set up handy, without having to dive into the Supply Closet o' Diabetes Crap.
