I have to be grateful for what's happened over the last couple of weeks. All things considered, things could have been a lot worse. Rob and I could have decided not to have a baby and I would never have gotten my IUD out and had that urine test that resulted in the glucose test that ultimately diagnosed me. Most of the time for Type 1 diabetics, they end up in the hospital because they get so sick their blood sugars raise too high. That's when they usually find out. My best childhood friend was exactly like that. Out of the blue, she ended up in the hospital and was immediately diagnosed with type 1. That could have been me.
So I am grateful that I found out early on and didn't land in the hospital. I mean I haven't been feeling all that well for the last 3-4 months and I was on the verge of going to the doctor to figure out why I was so tired all of the time. I thought that it was work coupled with a UTI. Obviously I was WAY wrong. If Rob and I hadn't gotten our answer to many prayers about having children, I probably wouldn't have gone to the doctor for quite some time, if at all and landed in the hospital.
So despite that I have this disease, and despite I have to shot up 4 times a day, I'm grateful that I didn't have to go to the hospital and make this a lot worse. I'm also grateful that Rob and I didn't have the chance to get pregnant before we found out. Our plans our now pushed back at least a year, but if we got pregnant and I didn't know, then there would have been a lot more risks that I wouldn't have known about. So I'm grateful to Heavenly Father for answering my prayers in odd way. I'm grateful to Him for looking out for my health and knowing me so well that He knew I wouldn't have gone to a doctor before it was too late. While our plans are pushed back for the time being, I'm grateful that I have the ability and the chance to being a healthier child into this world than if I had gotten pregnant before knowing. I'm grateful for a loving Heavenly Father that loves me!
