A 4 pound, tiny, heavenly angel is growing rapidly inside of me. A few weeks ago, Chris and I gained some confusing news and it had me a little in a panic. I failed 2 glucose tests which they give to women around week 28 in order to check how the placenta is handling simple sugars. I had a difficult time trying to get any straight answers from a few different doctors which had gone home for the weekend. I went home and started looking for answers off the internet. I knew this was not the best route to go, but it was all I could think of. Of course, I found much to worry about! Today was a different story and I am feeling much more relaxed about being diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I have truly tried to rely on prayer and family, finding comfort in both. Today, I was relieved to hear that Sydney does not seem to being affected by the diabetes. None whatsoever! She is even under weight in the 20th percentile. I am still checking my blood sugar levels 4 times a day and am watching my diet with a new attitude. Not much longer until she comes and blesses our small family with her smile and laughter!
