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???
