.......I have it...and I cried like a baby when Dr T told me...still am tearful...she said "And you know how bad this could get Hope"....(I'm a nurse, so I do know).   She gave me a meter and prescriptions...and tried to encourage me with the whole "Maybe you'll be testing okay now?".  She did say that exercise will help regulate my sugars, along with diet - so I am going to make it a point to walk at least around the block once a day...

Calvin was the only one home when I came back, and I just crumbled in his arms...he was a little taken aback at how I responded, but he doesn't have the understanding of Diabetes I do...it should resolve once the baby is born, but it also means I am more likely to have it later in life...and I've known pregnant ladies who ended up needing insulin.

My sugar last night before bed was 96, and this morning before eating was 80..I had a bowl of special K with skim (yuck, but it has less carbs) and then 2 hours later a HALF  a slice of white bread with a teaspoon of peach jam, and my MIL sassed me for eatting this!   I know she only has my best interest at heart, but being the emotional basketcase I am, I nearly bit her head off, which was so wrong of me...so I apologized and told her that 1/2 a slice of bread and a little jam is ok...we'll see what my sugar is in a few minutes.  Then I discovered that the block of Colby cheese I bought has virtually no carbs ina serving :):).  Even though I'm a nurse, I need to learn more about this counting carb stuff, so I'll be going to a class....

I've gained 14 pounds total, my measurements are right on target.  Sarai's heartbeat was 140-150, and my BP is good.  I was worrying that maybe my BP was high b/c I'm having headache's, but Dr T and I agreed that the headaches are either hormonal or sugar related....

Please remember me in your prayers, that I can keep my sugars within the goals Dr T gave me, that I can resist all those carbs I love so much (pretty much anything white, bread, pasta, sweet....), and that baby Sarai isn't affected by the diabetes.  Oh, and that I can keep my emotions at bay!  Thank you.

Hope
