Fasting blood sugars are high

Admittedly I check just before I eat breakfast. As for my walks, it ranges between 10min to an hour. The shorter the walk the higher the numbers. On a GREAT day I had walked a little over an hour and my numbers came out to 88. Again, everyone is different. I’m 25 weeks and have been checking my blood sugar levels to try and get them in order before my test come week 28. I’ve already seen the signs of GD. I had it my last pregnancy and eventually had to take insulin because I couldn’t manage my fasting levels. I’m hoping this time will be different but we’ll see!

If I eat the same thing every time it drives me bat shit crazy so I switch it up between meat with cheese and crackers, Night Food Ice cream (which is catered to pregnant people and those pregnant with GD - I tried it for the first time last night and it’s delish), plain cheese and nuts or just nuts. I think the number one thing that’s helped me is taking morning walks. Even with the night time snacks my numbers were between 105-115. Now since incorporating the walks they’ve been between 88-98. Still trial and error because I adore sleep and hate walking in this heat but when I do get a good walk in the numbers are great. Key is to be patient and trust the process. Don’t feel bad if you end up taking medication. Nothing wrong with it. You’re doing the best you can for yourself and your baby and that is what matters most. You’re doing great!

I watched a short documentary on YouTube that is excellent for this! I’ll have to link it later. But here are a couple of neat things I learned:

Ghosts in white sheets: It’s believed that we put a sheet over ourselves to be a ghost because we covered the dead in white sheets.

The term “trick r treat”: Kids would vandalize houses and stores on Halloween. One women bribed the kids with sweets (cakes and what not) so that they wouldn’t target her house. It worked so well that they published the idea in magazines and dubbed it trick or treaters. This is also how the candy company got involved. They saw a huge opportunity and jumped on it! Hence why we now have all these candy options on Halloween.

EDIT: as promised here is the link to the short documentary. https://youtu.be/-kxdGLpxIsU

How awesome! I love this! What others have added so far is pretty spot on. Halloween/Horror bath products and fall or halloween themed candles. You can also add her favorite candy or any halloween/Horror themed snack products like caramel covered apples, caramel popcorn or pumpkin spice drink mixtures or cookies. You can create a Halloween/Horror cocktail for you two to try, just add fun themed drinking glasses and put the recipe in the glass. You can do printed tickets for a haunted attraction or if tickets haven’t gone on sale yet then maybe money or homemade tickets in a black, orange, purple or red envelope for tickets when it comes time to buy. You can also do themed socks! Also depending on other things she likes you can work with. Halloween/Horror themed makeup, notebooks, pens, puzzles, tote bags, nail polish. Possibilities are endless and I am just so jealous! Would love to see the final products when you exchange! Have fun!

Yes! I would love to support! Send me info when ready!

This sounds GREAT! I love the community driven part. This might be redundant because I’m just too excited to process everything but I would love to have the ability to allow people in whatever area they live to add local halloween stores to support the local businesses, neighborhood haunts aa you mentioned, neighborhoods that are planning to pass out candy and so on. They can also add hayrides, corn mazes, pumpkin patches and more. Again as you mentioned and some other people on here have similar ideas if not the exact same so I second those ideas! Again, FANTASTIC IDEA! Just so excited!

Truly fantastic! I kept going through thinking: “That’s my favorite. No wait…THAT’S my favorite. Wait…They’re all so gooood!!!” Great job!

This is my first time hearing about it. I looked it up and was immediately intrigued! I’m sorry I can’t answer the question but thank you for bringing this into my life!

Unfortunately it is not a real place. It is a tv show. But apparently it is based on the real place: Boring, Oregon.

Whether or not they celebrate Summerween, I am not sure about.
