We have had some eye opening experiences in terms of her sugars being brought down (and might we add pretty aggressively) from exercise. Never did we know how much playing outside could bring her sugars down. We were getting a few lows (70's and 80's - nothing too bad) just from her being outside and playing on the play place in the backyard. We've been newly educated on how to work on keeping those numbers in a healthy range. So we're still doing a few changes and some tweaks to perfect it.
She has a new routine at bedtime that her baby doll has to sleep with her in her bed on her own pillow. AND when we tuck her in at night we also have to make sure her baby doll has covers too - and if Elsie decides to sleep on her belly her baby doll must also be on her belly and vice versa. She is so funny - but always like to take care of her baby doll. She'll be such a good big sister when that time comes...
SO all is well for now, we are thriving, we are living life and - getting ready to celebrate her birthday party this summer - and might we remind you that this will be her FIRST birthday NOT in a hospital - so Mommies are pretty much going all out for this!!
