the stats :)

6.48- the number of cm from the baby's head to it's bum (Crown-to-rump length)
2- the number of pounds i've gained in the past 12 weeks
4- the average number of times I have to get up in the night to pee, check my blood sugar, or correct hypo or hyperglycemia
2- the number of weeks in between Dr.'s appointments
12- the number of times i'm poking my finger to get my blood glucose results each day (Youch!)
45- the number of carbs I need to eat to sustain 1 hour of exercise! (45 carbs at 4 calories per carb is 180 calories, so I'm not even sure whether or not I have a net loss of calories at all when i'm exercising!) hahaha bring on the pregnancy weight. :)
1,000,000,000,000: the number of times per day I worry that my diabetes is effecting the baby negatively
1,000,000,000,000: the number of times per day I have to remind myself to trust God with the pregnancy:)
ok, I think that's it for now! keep prayin' for the little guy and we'll be sure to keep you updated!

So now according to Dana VanBuecken, RN, we are mostly in the clear for miscarriages (from 30% chance down to about 15%), which is relieving. An insight into the joys Dana gets to go through was collecting all of her pee yesterday to give to the lab. Her sugars are a bit crazy still, which is stressful for both of us, but we are learning lots about grace, forgiveness, and trusting our Father.
