I woke up to the alarm at seven thirty. I did my tests and was just about to make breakfast when Alex came out of his room. It’s pretty early for Alex to be up.
We had our breakfast then I had a shower and got dressed. Alex was glad he had gotten up early, he was able to watch COPS.
We left at nine fifteen for Royal Columbian Hospital. I was going to park in the underground parking but I remembered I didn’t have enough money so we parked on the street. It was quite a walk to the main entrance. We were late by the time we walked there.
There wasn’t anyone in the waiting room but we had to wait for awhile. First I saw Ann, she weighed me, my weight was the same. Then she had me test my urine, there was a slight trace of glucose in my urine. She said my counts were good then I saw Dr. B. Alex had come with me. I introduced Alex to the doctor. Dr. B talked with Alex for awhile then she checked my blood pressure it was 130/70. She felt the baby and tried to hear the baby’s heartbeat but she said it was too early. Dr. B said my counts were good and asked if my technique was okay. I said it was okay. She said then you can come in a month for the next three months. If you gain a lot of weight, your blood sugar goes too high or you have any questions call us. She said to test my blood two days a week but space the days don’t do two days together. So my next appointment is on July 4 at 9:30 a.m.
We sat in the waiting room for Ellie to call us. It was hard having Alex there. He was talking quite loud and made it difficult for me to talk to the people.
When I saw the dietician I asked if I could go back to 2% milk and omit the afternoon milk as well as put the protein back to breakfast time. Ellie said that should be okay but to watch that I don’t start putting on too much weight.
Then we were able to leave except we had to come back since I realized I didn’t have enough sheets to keep the blood sugar readings.
We got home before eleven o’clock. Alex wanted to go to the park but he hadn’t been doing what I wanted and he called me a few bad names.
Alex played in his room while I vacuumed the house. I won’t be able to do it very often, it really bothers my leg. I know I’ll pay for it later but Charlie didn’t vacuum the house for more than a week.
After lunch Alex phoned Patrick, he said he would be over after lunch. They played until three o’clock when Patrick said he wanted to go home. Alex said I’m letting Patrick go home this time. He seemed quite pleased with himself. I said does Patrick want you to go to his house? Alex asked Patrick and he said he did.
I wrote in the journal while Alex was gone. Charlie came home at four o’clock. At five o’clock I phoned Morgan and asked her to send Alex home.
We ate dinner at six o’clock. After dinner I exercised then I wrote in the journal. Alex went to bed at eight thirty. I went to bed at eleven o’clock.
