Mile Marker 28

Wow- the past 2 weeks have been eventful. The girls have turned 3 and I have turned 28. Right in the middle of all the cakes and ice cream I failed my sugar test- both the 1 hour test and the 3 hour test. This past Friday (on my birthday) I had my gestational diabetes class, it was there that they gave me the finger pricker to test my sugar with. All I can say is perfect timing, since my mom had just made my favorite cake! Not only did I fail my sugar test, but my blood pressure is on the rise and I have a small amount of protein in my urine; which are signs of preeclampsia.

The blessing in all of this is: I am 28 weeks and the viability of the baby has increased to about 80-90%. There are health risks related to having a premature baby, but as each day passes I am getting closer to full term. God is so good and his presence in our lives brings immense peace. My next goal is 32 weeks, until then God bless!

P.S. I was late posting this and I am actually 29 weeks today! Also I am not done posting pictures for my last post- I have missed placed the CD with their pics on them. Imagine that???

About Me

My photo
Me- well: I love God! I love people! I love my family! I love my husband! I love being a mom! I love having twins! I love my friends! I love children! I love teaching! I love my church! I love red wine! I love watching my children play! I love summer! I love the beach! I love bonfires! I love the lake! I love to laugh! I have the most wonderful husband- he takes care of me and helps me out when I over commit myself. I love being a mom- twins are great! I hate when people say, "I don't know how you do it!"- I just do what needs to be done. At the end of the day our house may not be clean and the clothes may not get folded and put away, but everyone is safe, fed, and loved. My friends- oh you mean the people I used to hang out with, but never see anymore! Yeah, I love them too. I have learned that God brings all kinds of people into our lives. Some of those people are great friends while you are in school, some are great friends while you are in college, and some are great friends at work or church. Then there are the few- the special friends that stick around for a lifetime. I am so blessed to have so many lifetimers!!!
