Izzy was happy that the doctors offices weren't that far from the parking area. She was blowing up so quickly this time around she would swear she could practically see her belly growing in real time. Of course it wasn't quite that bad, but every day she got a little bigger, a little heavier, a little more awkward and a little more drained a little earlier than the day before.

Combine that with being a mother to four children under three, foster mother to Adele and Elli, looking after her namesake Granddaughter, be a mom to her adult children and be a wife to her husband, it was a wonder she had any energy at all. Fortunately all the adults in the household were falling all over themselves to help with the household chores and kid wrangling, which was a huge weight off her shoulders.

That just left working on the project to help take down the Spire and get that wrapped up before she was too pregnant to keep working. Which she suspected wouldn't be much longer. Henry might even insist she stop this week for all she knew.

She reached the door to Henry's office and knocked.

	Izzy frowned as well when he made the trip and came back with the device in his hands, but dutifully put out her hand as requested. "What is that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's just a glucose meter." Henry smiled. He stuck it against her finger and it took a reading with a quick little pin prick. "When was the last time you ate?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"About an hour ago." She raised an eyebrow, ignoring the brief flare of pain from her finger at the pin prick. "I had a chicken sandwich and some carrots. Why do you ask?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Henry frowned again but it lasted only a moment. "Even given that, your blood sugar is a little on the high side. It's nothing to worry about now but we will need to keep an eye on it." He sat back down behind his desk and started to make some more notes in the file. "Given this level we should be able to control it with the right diet." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Izzy sighed, seeing sweets coming out of her diet for the foreseeable future. "So much for the occasional guilty pleasure now that I can actually keep food down again." "So I don't need to take insulin or anything like that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You can still have the occasional guilty pleasure, it might just be less frequent than you would like." He kept writing at his spoke. "As of right now it's not that bad so I think that we can maintain it with diet. I will have to keep an eye on it, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Right." So gorging on ice cream was out, obviously. She'd have to research the issue and figure out what to avoid besides the obvious. "I guess that's not so bad, it could be worse." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Henry nodded. "I'm going to send you with a glucose meter as well. You'll need to take readings first thing when you wake up in the morning and last thing before you go to bed at night. I want to do this for three weeks and then take a look at the numbers." He got a separate pad of paper and started to write down instructions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"All right." She didn't like the idea of pricking herself twice a day, but if it kept her from having complications it was worth the irritation. "Anything else out of the ordinary you want me to do?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
