Diagnosed...Now What?!!!!

.

The phone rang it was about 9:30.  "Mrs. Roark, this is....with the OBGYN office.  I called to inform you that you failed your 3 hour Blood Glucose test.  You have gestational diabetes.  We'll be sending you to a class and getting you on the right path.  

I hung up the phone and sat in silence.  What now??  Where do I begin??  I decided I needed to do some research.  So, I took to the internet to find some research.  It lasted for about 15 minutes then I had read all the good and bad that I had intended on.  

I threw myself a pity party complete with tears.  Guess what?  There were no gifts and nobody came.  Yep, so in my poor-pitiful-me moment I heard God whisper, who is in charge?!!!  I didn't have much to say after that question.  

It's now been two days since I got the news.  I've decided that with God's help I'm going to bootstrap myself up and fight like crazy to get this under control and to have a great 72 days left of pregnancy!  Yes, as I know it to be at this hour I'll have to prick my fingers at least 3 maybe 4 times a day.  

This is/was no surprise to God and He has a solution!  I'm going to pray lots, watch what I eat and cling to His unchanging hand through it all!  He's God and I am not.  I'll let HIM handle this!!!

Until then I'll post recipes, things I eat, and progress on my journey.  I covet your prayers as I journey through this thing called Gestational Diabetes and pray that it goes as quickly as it came...Right after birth!

Blessings to you,
Alicia Roark
