Big stuff going on around here... I feel like I need a theme song (hey, it works for Hallie ;).
First up... we are done with pump training (we finished early to boot).
We made our final pump setting adjustments today. I am not sure I get it but who am I to judge?
What don't I get???
Well, I don't understand how we see the obvious need for more adjustments, but not the need to follow up with how they work. I guess I just assumed we would continue to send in logs until there was no more adjusting. Confused am I?? Well... just a tad!
Either way... So now I don't need to check in between meals unless I suspect a low... that I won't complain about because we have been flying through test strips faster than the cup full of tokens at Chuck-E-Cheese the other day. I don't have to keep logs like a crazed math nut. Justin can have snacks again, I can correct if I need to... AND because I don't have to fax in logs by 1pm, then wait for the call that sometimes never comes... we can get out of this house!!! We are all going a bit stir crazy I am afraid :)
I know, I know... we could have left. But I am one of those people that has to get up early and get going... or I just don't bother. One of my many oddities I guess.
Movin on...
Sliding in second on my list...
WERE GETTING A CGM!!!!! YAHOO!!!!
feels like there might be a smidgen of sleep in my future :)
It arrives Wednesday... now all I need is a super cool name for it.
OH~ and more training... CRAP!
And last but certainly the funnest... I filled out an application for the Littlest Heroes Project
and it was accepted... YAHOO AGAIN!!!
Now I am in the process of looking through the photographers. I have it narrowed down to 8 in my area... I still have a lot of "narrowing down" to do.
Hope you all have a FABULOUS 4th of July weekend!!!
BE SAFE!

The same to you Lora .
YAHOO! On Everything! Justin could call his Dexie, Dex. Like "Dex - The fastest shot in the West." A little Western vibe goin' there.
We had ZERO training with the cgm and we're doing fine so don't worry! And as for the pump - well, I still call in if I need to. And things still change ALL. THE. TIME. But I do think that with Dex you'll get a little more sleep! And that ROCKS!
Have a wonderful weekend! :)
I love that you have so many exciting things going on! The summer of changes...but good changes! I'm so happy for you!
How EXCITING! Love that you started the pump! Love that you are getting your own Dexie (or whatever you end up calling him)! LOVE that you get to do a fun photo shoot!
Enjoy your weekend!
