Please pray...

Well I had my regular check up at the doctor yesterday - not great news, but it could be much worse. I had the regular glucose blood test about a week ago and got a call on Tuesday from one of the midwives saying that I had to have another glucose test b/c the first one said that sugar levels were way too high. So on Wednesday I had to go in at 7:00am and sit for four hours (almost an hour just sitting in the waiting room before they called me back) in the lab. For this test you have to have your blood drawn after fasting all night. Then you drink this nasty nasty nasty orange flavored syrupy drink and have your blood drawn every hour for three hours. I look like a pin cushion! Talk about a long morning!
Anyway at my dr.'s appt. yesterday, they got the test results back and told me that I have gestational diabetes. I didn't with Ayden and if we have more kids I might never have it again with any other pregnancies, but until I give birth to this one, I am to live as though I am a diabetic - only with more strict eating habits and such b/c there is a baby involved. I am not worried or anything - as soon as he shows his face to the world, everything, Lord willing, will go back to normal. They say that it is just the way my body is reacting to this pregnancy. I knew this one was trouble!!!! They did say that there are more possible risks now, but as long as we can control it, there shouldn't be any problems...it really is just an annoyance to have to change everything that you are doing (not to mention prick my finger 4 times a day!). It really makes me appreciate what my mom and grandfather have to do a whole lot more. It just stinks!! They said that I haven't done anything wrong...I am measuring exactly how I should, I have only gained like 10 lbs all together (almost in the 3rd trimester), and that there is nothing I could have done to prevent it. I guess I am just moping about it b/c I don't want to have to deal with it! This was all in addition to the upper respiratory infection/double ear infection that I finally have an antibiotic for. I wasn't in a good mood yesterday! Please pray that there are no repercussions (sp?) to all this, that our sweet #2 is a healthy, happy boy, and that I can have the strength to get through today, and tomorrow, and the next day...ok, I think you get the idea!
Please also pray that our health insurance issues get worked out in a major hurry. I went to fill the prescription for my antibiotic last night and they got a reject message from our insurance...nothing is easy! I called this morning and somehow Ayden and I have both been deleted as independents from the policy. Joy of Joys! Shawn is trying to get it all worked out at work this morning b/c my dr.'s office is calling this morning to try and get all this diabetes stuff approved for treatment! Satan sure knows how to work it! The moment I think that things are on the upswing...yeah, well let's not talk about it!
I think I am going to go - we love you all and really covet your prayers at this time. Like I am trying to do with each negative thing, remember the oh so many blessings that we so often take for granted. Have a ducky day!
