Second Trimester?

Today I am 13 weeks! I think this marks the beginning of my second trimester. It's hard to tell though. Every book and website says something different. Oh well. I've just decided that this is my second trimester. Woo hoo!

I'm feeling pretty good. I don't have much nausea if any at all. My back still hurts but I feel like I have more energy. I'm looking forward to feeling good and starting to show!

The doctor's office called yesterday to tell me my glucose screen came back positive. This just means that there is a possibility I could have gestational diabetes. This is pretty common for women with PCOS, since we are already insulin resistant and pregnancy makes you more insulin resistant. I don't feel worried about this but it's another complication that is getting in the way of our total peace. I go in Friday morning for a 3 hour screening. So I suppose I'll know early next week if I actually have it.

We ask you all to pray that everything comes back normal. Although gestational diabetes is common and is treatable. . .I would just rather have everything be in alignment for the rest of this pregnancy. The good thing about this "scare" is that it's making me very aware of what I eat. I feel like I've done really well so far. . .but I do have that darn sweet tooth! And of course it's just perfect that I should find out about this right before the holidays! Nice!

Thanksgiving was really fun with alot of my family here. I think Dave got a little overloaded but he'll be alright. It was so sweet to have my parents in town and all gather at their place. No matter where my parents live, it just feels like home. I'm so thankful to have them close.

I pray you and yours had a wonderful holiday as well. This is such a wonderful time of year. It always makes me feel so excited and wide eyed (like a little kid). . . and this year, even more so. Celebrating Christmas really does help you believe in miracles. When I look at all that God did in sending His son to the world through a woman like Mary, I desire to be so available to Him for whatever His purpose is in what He's doing through me.
