He did it. Drew bought himself a new car. I couldn't be happier for him.
He went with the Volvo S60. A surprise as it's A) not a German car and B) automatic
Drew's previous car was a 1982 VW Rabbit. He's had it since 1994... has driven it into the ground... and now, the Rabbit will be meeting a dignified end in a junkyard somewhere. Drew has worked very very hard... through college, working in industry, going back to grad school and now as a tenure-track professor... he's put me an Grant first... watched me upgrade in cars while he drove a jalopy with no A/C... and now... it's finally his time to have a nice car. I'm so proud of him for how he manages our finances, how he is the sole bread-winner, and how we truly want for nothing as a family. If I sound like I'm gushing, I am. Drew is such a great husband and I have such true joy in my heart for knowing he is finally getting to enjoy the rewards of his years and years of hard work. Drew is a wonderful, supportive, loving husband and he's the kind of father everyone wants their children to have. I'm positively starry-eyed.
So what else has happened? Well, I had my first low-blood-sugar attack. Scared.The.Hell.Out.Of.Me. I woke up at 2am Monday morning... sweating, heart racing, hands shaking. I knew immediately what it was. I asked Drew (who was up installing hardwood floors in the baby's room) to get me some crackers and juice. I felt better immediately after. I figured that in the morning my blood sugar was going to be really high considering the juice and crackers. Nope. It was 57. Low. Very low. Juice was gone so I ate a bowl of golden grams and and hour later my b/s was 175... high, but high isn't as scary as low. Saw my diabetes doctor today and she agrees that because we've been SO active, I'd had a very early dinner the night before and it just all added up to scary. I've backed down my evening insulin dose to 24 and I'm not supposed to be as aggressive in increasing it.... it's a good thing, really. I'm really responding to the insulin. I have another ultrasound tomorrow to check for baby size and placenta placement... can't wait to see the little guy again.
