So, it's taken about 3 months, but I am officially preggers. I was seriously starting to get worried.... and before you think I'm a silly girl for thinking that it shouldn't have taken that long, you should know all Rob had to do last time was look at me funny and I was pregnant with Autumn. Seriously, we hardly even tried. But this time we tried for 3 months.
See part of the reason I was getting worried was I thought I had scar tissue that was preventing me from getting pregnant. Exactly one week after having Autumn, I was back in the hospital with not one, not two, but three infections; Kidney, Uteran, and Urinary tract. They thought about doing a procedure called a DNC that would have cleaned the uteran wall, but they never did. After talking to a co-worker who had a similar experience, I was seriously afraid that was going to keep me from getting pregnant. But alas I was wrong and I'm so glad that I was.
So yeah, we're not telling anyone at this point. I'm still at too high of a risk of losing the baby. I mean we only found out on Thursday (08/15/2013), and even then the stripe on the test to indicate that I am pregnant was barely there and then faded. I was very concerned the test lied to me, but here I am a week late and still no sign of mother nature making her monthly call! Hallelujah!
I find it interesting that the two months that I couldn't get pregnant, I wasn't really exercising and I wasn't really eating well either. So by the time my second period hit I really wanted to go to a doctor, but I knew that if I went to the doctor without really being on top of my diabetes, the doctor would scoff at me, tell me to be better and THEN if I still wasn't getting pregnant, to go see him. So I decided to put that to the test first. I started exercising at least 3 times a week. I'm now up to everyday except Sunday. I feel so healthy and blood sugar number have never been better. I wouldn't be surprised if my AIC went back down to 5.7 the next time I get tested.
But yeah, Rob and I are SUPER excited. This has been a long time coming, but we feel that everything is finally just right to have another baby. Whether or not we have more after this depends on a lot. This pregnancy will play a huge roll for sure. It's like we are pregnant with our first again. It's been so long and now I have Type 1 Diabetes. It's not just gestational diabetes. It's going to be fairly difficult I fear. But I will do my best to stay on top of it. But we are super excited! It's been a long time coming and I'm just glad it's here!
