Hello again gestational diabetes, it's been a while

Yesterday my suspicions were confirmed, I've got it again! It just feels so soon!! Am I already 26 weeks along? I guess so, I'm almost waddling, I'm heartburning, I'm mildly braxton hicks-ing, and I'm starting to toss and turn to find a comfortable position each night. Did I mention my back is hurting a lot? Sorry if i'm whiny, this is my update. And this girl is kicking my sides all the time!! (it's fun)

You're at a higher risk for gestational diabetes each pregnancy as your pancreas gets worked out from having it the time before. This time though, I don't feel quite as beat up about it. It didn't surprise me. I'm just going to deal with it and poke my finger a lot every day. Hopefully I won't be tortured craving lick-a-stix, airheads, donuts, cinnamon rolls, pumpkin pie, and sour patch kids as much as I did last pregnancy. (those of you who know me know that I'm not a sugar-holic, so this is weird for me) Twelve weeks sounds like a long time but I'm sure it will fly by. There will be more to pass the time what with being excited to venture outdoors and enjoy the summer.

I'm SOO excited for this semester. Evan has been rocking the getting ready to find a job process and we're excited to find out where we'll be and what we'll be doing come graduation! The rexburg farmers market is starting this friday. Nina is the best 16 month older in the world. I've got new motivation and ideas for using our letterpress. Old and new friends are in town again! Evan's schedule is way better than it was last semester, I feel. Life just feels good.

We have sooo much to say about our trip. And tons to share from Nina's experience being away from us and now being a family once again. Till then

Comments:
That's difficult, but I'm definitely proud of you for having such a positive outlook on it! You can definitely make it through and the end product is SO worth it. :)

P.S. I can't wait to hear more of your adventures and ESPECIALLY can't wait to hear where you will be going next. (Keeping my fingers crossed you'll end up coming to Seattle long term.)
 
Good luck with that. Pregnancy complications are always the worst. You're in our prayers.
