Nows the time

Well, the big news for the New Year is that we will hopefully be welcoming a baby into our lives in the next few months. We found out on Christmas Eve, but kept pretty quiet until my OB appt yesterday. I was estimated to be about 12 weeks along. We go to a specialist next week for an ultrasound to get a little bit more positive dating.
I do have Type 2 diabetes and started insulin yesterday. At this point we are praying and believing God that He kept our little one safe through the first few months when we were not aware of his being. I am following Drs orders as closely as possible and will meet with a dietitian next week as well.
We are excited as this is truly a miracle from God. We were not expecting it, though we knew that one day God was going to grant us this blessing.
Who knew that it would be the joy we needed to end an impossible year?? God did. He is so faithful!
I am finding more and more info for diabetic mommys out there and I will definitely share what I find out.
So for now please praise God with us, for this blessing of life!

Be Blessed!

  6. WOW!!! I've been following your blog for a long time now, though I'm such a lurker! :) I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!! I had gestational diabetes during one of my pregnancies. I followed the diet strictly and did what ever the dietitian recommended. The results were fabulous - I gained very little weight (I didn't to gain much, if you know what I mean!) and felt better than any of my other pregnancies. I'm hoping you have the same wonderful experience. The Lord is so good, giving good gifts to His children! Do the kids know? How are they taking the news?

    Sincerely,
    Anna
