Baby Update

Well I just got back from the OB appointment. We could hear the heartbeat on the doplar thingy. I will be going to Maine Medical in Portland, ME in a few weeks to have a fetal echocardiogram done, and to find out the possibilities of having a baby with birth defects and such.

Pregnant

Well I am 10 weeks pregnant. I am extremely high risk, due to my being a type 1 diabetic that was not under control. So far things are going well. They have me on the loaner insulin pump. In one month I have brought my A1C from a 12% to an 8.1%. Under good conditions they would want me to try after I have had that at a 6% for at least 3 months. I am still high risk to miscarry, and to have a baby with birth defects, but I am working on doing what they are asking me to do, and praying. Will keep people posted with what is going on as I find things out.
