Spring weather is finally here and it is starting to warm up. That
should make anyone happy. But for me, I am dreading the beautiful
weather; the humidity especially. You might think I'm crazy. I mean
we had such a terribly cold winter, almost bitter cold some weeks.
And don't get me wrong, I hated that weather as much as anyone
would. But currently I would take some of that cold weather over the
summer I am fearing we will have.
To explain my anxiety, I am five months pregnant with my first
child. And this summer, (which is most likely going to be hot and
humid like all Wisconsin summers) I am going to be miserable.
Many people I have talked to when they see my baby bump say
"You really didn't plan that one out did you?" and the answer is no. I
am ecstatic that I am pregnant. Again it is our first baby and it's a boy.
But being a type 1 diabetic along with the pregnancy and this summer
coming up, it's scary.
The hot weather has always effected my diabetes in the worst way.
When it gets really hot and humid it makes my body go into overdrive
and my blood things it should be boiling so my blood sugar ends up
being high, much higher than normal. Now, with pregnancy hormones
messing with everything, I am going to be in the house, curled up next
to the air conditioner (if we can find one that will fit our unusually
small windows in the new house).
There are plenty of other things I am worried about (what do I do
with him when he gets here and how am I going to care for him?).
When I first got married, my husband told me we don't need to have
kids because I was all the kid he could handle. We are both still immature
(him, 24 and me, 25) but in a mature way, if that is even possible.
This little boy is going to whip us into shape and change
everything. But first I need to get through this summer and into August
when the little bugger comes along. Wish me luck.
