Scare

Sunday night we had a bit of a scare. After calling my mom, who said to call the nurse, who said call the doctor, we were sent to the ER to be checked out. It is a long trip to the ER as 2 worried parents.

They sent us home Sunday night after the baby monitor and contraction monitor ruled that everything was normal. Sunday night in the ER they weren't able to do a sonogram, but the doctor on call released us if we promised to go in to Dr. Garner's office Monday morning to let them do a sonogram. We did and thankfully everything, is still good.

The whole experience though just made me realize how completely not in control we are. I can think I have things under control and that I am balancing this whole diabetes/pregnancy thing, but really this miracle of life is totally in God's hands. Even though this pregnancy was planned and wanted and loved before we even knew it was here, this scare has made me realize how totally in love with him I am and what a big part of our family he is.

I have my 2nd pre-scheduled Level 2 sonogram with Dr. Gore, my perinatologist, tomorrow. Part of me thinks I am pretty lucky to be diabetic and get all these extra ultrasounds just to really see that everything is developing like it is supposed to!
