29 weeks and 3 days. Waters Broke 10 WEEKS AGO!!

I have one word!! MIRACLE!! I cant believe that I am here 10 weeks after my waters broke and typing whilst being pregnant. It is seriously a miracle!! I am so grateful for all that we have been through. It has made us stronger and I think closer as a family.

So yesterday I meet with loads of different Dr's to discuss the plan for the rest of the pregnancy. First off I had an Ultra Sound. I was 29 weeks and 2 days but the baby is measuring just over 32 weeks. It is likely the size is because of the Diabetes but I dont care what the reason is. It definitely explains why I feel so massive. (Note to self take another picture over the next few days of this HUGE tummy to post online!) When I saw my OB it was funny. She was telling me how having Diabetes is not a problem unless my waters break. I said oh right well my waters broke 10 weeks ago. See I had to be transfered to a new Dr and she obviously hadnt read my notes properly. It was funny. Straight away then she read all my notes and made a plan based on that.

So now they will be inducing no later than 34 weeks. Which means by the 23rd of August we will have a new baby. They did explain how babies who's moms have Diabetes do have to spend time in the Neo Natal unit. Because the babies have to learn how to adjust their own sugars then. But I bet that Cienna will be in hospital only a few days - a few weeks nothing like the months Spencer was in there.

Regarding my Diabetes they have put me on a tablet to help neutralise my sugars rather than the insulin shots. If the pill doesnt work then I will have to have the shots. A side effect of the pills is flu like symptoms and vomitting. The Dr told me to try the pill and if these side effects start to show themselves then we will have to stop it straight away. I took the pill for the first time this morning and have had no side effects. So maybe I will be blessed and not have to have the injections 3 times a day. I am already having finger pricks 7 times a day and twice a week I am having blood taken so I am a bit sick of needles. So the idea of not having 3 more a day is very pleasing to me.

So everything is fantastic at the moment. I am so blessed. Heavenly Father has watched out for us these past 10 weeks and have blessed me more than I deserve. I have become a lot closer to my Father In Heaven and I am so grateful that if this is what it took for me to get an even better relationship with him than this is what happen. I have felt him and his hand help me through some of the toughest times I have had to face. He has carried me, he has shown his love for me and he has been there for me loved me unconditionally even when I doubted his powers. I am so lucky to have been able to feel his love for me and for my family and this unborn child. I hope to never loose this feeling. Which is why I have posted about it so much because if I ever start to doubt his love for me I want to be able to look back and be reminded how much he loves me and that in order to have this relationship with him all it takes is me getting on my knees and asking for it. And he will show me this love again.

As a side note I was called as the Enrichment Counselor in our RS this last week. Another sign that Heavenly Father knows me pretty well. I am excited for this calling. Now I just need to get some things organised! Exciting times for our family ahead!! I cant wait to enjoy the journey even more!!

Thank you everyone for your prayers, your faith, your kind words and your concern. I have felt everyone of your prayers and I am forever in your debit.
