I was so excited when my Mom called me and asked if Brent and I would like to go to the zoo with her and my daddy! Of course we said yes and on the 29th of May we all headed up to go to the wonderful Columbus Zoo and Aquarium! It was a beautiful day to be at the zoo, hot, but pretty! It was so much fun to spend the day with my parents and my husband wondering around seeing all kinds of exotic animals and a few native species as well! The only concern on my mind the entire day was keeping track of my sugar out in the heat. (fortuntanly my mom is a nurse so she kept a close eye)
Steering away from the trip for a paragraph or so the reason I have to now keep track of my sugar has to do with babies! At my latest Doctors appoitment the Dr. discovered that my body is not producing insuline properly therefore causing my ovaries to work improperly. She prescribed my a pill called Metformin, which is a diabetic pill that causes my body to produce more insuline. The down side to this new medication is that since there is more insuline being produced my body metabolizes sugar at a much faster rate causing my sugar to drop. The up side.....greater chance of regular ovualtion! (well thats the plan anyway) Anyway I simply take a pill everyday and test my sugar periodically throughout the day to ensure it does not get dangerously low. I joke with Brent that when our kids get older and start acting up I will simply say "Do you know what I had to do to have you?!"
Now, back to the zoo! My all time favorite animal that I was so excited to see was the Penguins! I adore penguins and wish it was legal to have them as pets. I told my husband if I could have one I would turn the basement into a penguin paradise, which spoils his plans of turning it into a so called "man cave". Along with penguins we got to see polar bears, monkeys, alligators, and many more! I was so grateful for this day with my parents and husband! It was so nice to just have a day out without having a care in the world!
