My new Diet

So the past couple weeks I've been having problems with my bloood sugar numbers in the morning. So last week I went into my doctor's and they informed me that I have become Insulin resistant in the morning, great!! So now I have to eat very little carbs, like a glass of milk and protein. I like eggs but I'm going to have to get more creative. If you know me you'd know that I love my breakfast foods like Lucky charms, Waffles, french toast. Oh well, one of the many sacrifices I'll be making for my child. At least I have doctor's that can tell me whats wrong with me.

POLL

Hey everyone I put a poll up so if you want to guess what we are having!! Yeah, we find out may 20!

Weekend getaway

Nathan and I went away for a couple of days to one of our favorite places, Estes Park, CO. We stayed in a nice suite in a lodge. Which is unusual for us because we usually stay at the YMCA when we go up there. But it was fun. We went fishing (we got a few bites, and Nathan got a fish but it got away) then we went to the Rocky mt. national park. We also did a lot of relaxing. It was nice to get away but we wish it was longer, went by way to fast!

Ok so here's our Big secret!

It's taken me awhile to start telling people. But we are 13 wks pregnant! We are due October 15. We are very excited!! Because I am a diabetic, I am a high risk pregnancy. So theres a lot of stuff that goes into that. Some of you may be interested in knowing about that and if your not oh well. So Nathan and I wanted to have a baby for quite some time now, but since we were in school and we couldn't afford good maternity insurance we had to wait a year in order for Nathan to get insurance through work. Then when we got that taken care of we had to go see my diabetic doctor and have her start montoring me to make sure I was healthy enough to start having kids. After we got the clear from her than we started trying in August. After I got pregnant, in my 1st trimester I have been to 6 dr. apts. Even though I am used to seeing doctors all the time, I'm kind of sick of going to doctor visits already and I know I have a way to go. BUt anyways, I am able to go to a regular OB doc that is actually friends with my diabetic doc, because I am a well controlled diabetic. But I had to go meet with a highrisk ob doc to take a first trimester screening to screen for abnormalities and things like that. The pictures from that are on here. We got to see so many things and it's only 13 wks old. So anyways, even though I am having to do a lot and worry a lot and make sure my Blood sugar levels are where they need to be, I am very grateful to be able to have kids. Back when I was first diagnosed with diabetes a lot of women with diabetes weren't having kids. They usually induce diabetics 36-37 wks, so really I'll be having it in september. But so far everything is going good, and I'm feeling much better now that I am past the first 12 wks. I was 11 when I was diagnosed with diabetes, and my doc says that if I had diabetes for twenty years (like if I had gotten it when I was 3) because of the stress and everything it does to our bodies than they would have recommended that I adopt but since I have til I'm 31, I just have to try and have as many as my body can have. So I'm very excitied that everything is going good and everything looks normal.
