Eat, Swim, Sleep

That pretty much sums up the long weekend in Gladewater. We ate, swam, slept, ate, swam, slept...and watched fireworks from Mike's boat on Saturday night. The kids all had a great time swimming at Mike's house (I'm sure now you are catching on to why Kolton calls him "cool Uncle Mike"...pool, boat). We also had a fish fry one night and Robert swears my recent craving was for fried catfish....I guess I brought up the fish fry event one too many times :) It was good...what can I say?! I didn't do the amount of swimming that the kids did. I planted my preggo behind either on the deck or in the nice cool house! I have cute pictures of the kids I'll post later.

Kolton gave Robert and I a test run Saturday night before Emma's arrival. He got sick close to 1 am from being on the boat too long I guess. The only time I hate it when he is a diabetic is when he throws up! It stresses me out. Type 1 kiddos CANNOT keep throwing up like any other kid. We had to check is sugar at 2 am, 3 am, 5 am, 7 am...you get the idea. Luckily he only got sick the one time and by 3 am his sugar was back within his normal range. If Kolton ever does get a stomach virus, we'll be on the phone with the clinic every 2 hours (at least) and it's not uncommon for type 1 kiddos to end up in the hospital because of a bug. To give you an idea of what it does to his sugar...he was 241 before he got sick, 98 right after, 72 1 hour later. 70 is considered low so we had to wake Kolton up (you can imagine how hard hat was) and get him to drink Sprite and eat a Starburst wondering the whole time if he'd even keep it down. 3 am up over 100 which meant we got to sleep 2 straight hours before checking him again 5 am. See why I say it's like having a newborn?!!
