40 weeks, 1 Day: Weakening...

Well, the celebration is over. 8 weeks and counting... woohoo ra ra ra... blah blah blah... Let's get this over with.

My body is speaking loud and clear: "I'm tired of this..."

I hadn't felt "weak" like this since the first twelve weeks. It really is like my body must know the end is near. And it's ready to be done with it all.

(I could probably quit now and no one would be the wiser...except me... I mean, what are the chances the virus will come back because I stop now versus in 2 months?)

12 weeks to go.  Wow. Should I start the count down?  It's been a help to me NOT to count down.  That way, I don't get anxious for it to end.  I mean - why?

32 Weeks, 5 Days - Blood sugar is low

Last week, I shared my blood sugar experience with my PA (physician's assistant) at my monthly Mayo Clinic checkup. Funny thing, she had ordered a glucose test as one of my labs.  I didn't know this. And she didn't know I was having those symptoms I shared in the previous post.
