down for the count

Hi! Hi!

***waving arms***

I'm still here!

Oh dear... the Perez household has been struck by a dirty-rotten-nasty-bug. First, it started with hubby... Ooooo, did he get it bad. Then me, then baby, then Lily Moon and last, Sophie. It was bad folks... BAD.

We're slowly recovering...

Last week was a roller coaster. Besides being sick, Sophie had her 8th grade promotion (woohoo!)and I had received some bummer news.

After giving birth to Lala, I just wasn't myself. I didn't feel well. Just a couple of weeks ago, I woke up with blurry vision. To this day, my eye sight is so-so. So I had blood work done, specifically the A1C1 Glucose test, and sure enough the doctor diagnosed me with Diabetes Type 2. I had gestational diabetes during my last pregnancy and it was not fun. At that time, my blood sugar levels was hard to control, I ended up giving myself insulin twice a day. With that along with a super strict diet, I cried many nights. I prayed and hoped I would never have diabetes again, but unfortunately God had other plans.

So the doctor wants me to loose 10 lbs. and I'm back on a strict diet and meds. On the bright side, I'll get my ol' body back. It'll be tough to break my old habits and I know I'll have my moments of weakness, but I need to be strong and healthy... for my hubby... my girls... and most importantly, me.

So please bare with me for the moment. I need to free myself of this nasty cold and hang out with my girls.

...big hugs...

My dear friend, I send you a big hug hoping that everything goes back to normal. I can't imagine how hard must be to have to juggle one more thing in your life. But we're women, and moms so we can do it all, right?? XO

Great big hugs. I know you are a superwoman and you can do it. Perhaps you can indulge in some new cooking books to keep the diet on track. Hope the family gets better soon. Nothing worse than all the kids being sick. Sending lots of mummy hugs to you!
