A Light at the End of the Tunnel

Went to the doctor today for my blood sugar test. That 50 grams of orange sugar water sure was a shock to my system-- especially since I have tried to eliminate sugar from my diet the last three weeks! YUCK!

I really don't expect to pass the test. I have already been warned that women on bed rest have much higher rates of gestational diabetes.... So, all I can do is wait and hope for the best. And, if it turns out that I test positive, it can't be any worse than the other hurdles we have already faced. It will be just one more hurdle for us to jump before our little girl makes her debut.

I definitely have a light at the end of the tunnel now. Dr. M says that at 28 weeks I can start loosening my be rest restrictions a little-- going out to dinner or to church! Even that little window of freedom sounds wonderful to me! So-- my eyes are focused on the next 14 days!

Thank you, Lord, for allowing us to reach 26 weeks with our precious girl. I can remember when 26 weeks seemed like an eternity away-- yet, now, here we are. You have been faithful to us once again!
