New hopes and dreams!

So my hopes and dreams might come true............................................. I got the go ahead to try for our baby!!! My hopes and dreams was to get my a1c's in good range and that we would get the green light, which we did thank god!

How did I do it?

• Went to see my local diabetic nurse and she sent me to Dublin for a pre-pregnancy clinic app, and I got blood taken to check my a1c and my thyroid.
• I had to write down my blood sugar in the lovely logbooks! everyday! ring the nurse once a week to tell her what the story was with me bloods. Been doing that since June.
• Keep a good eye on what you are eating and do some exercise to keep the blood sugar down!
• Wake up at night and check my blood sugar at 3am.
• I prayed alot and cried abit and hoped a load, and thank god I got the go ahead!

I worked hard with the help of my hubby and the diabetic nurse!!!  So I know if I can do it so can you!!!! My new hopes and dreams is to get pregnant soon and have a healthy baby!!!! please god x

New hopes and dreams!!!!!

Green Light!

Green for GO!

Most women don't need a doctor or a nurse to tell them that yes you can go and try for a baby, you got the green light!

Well I needed to get the green light as I have type 1 diabetes and an underactive thyroid, so I needed to be sure that my health was in good shape, that it would be safe for me to try and get pregnant!
Some type one Diabetic's don't wait for this green light, they go on a get pregnant sometimes with high A1C's and have gorgeous healthy babies, which is fine it's up to the person if they want to wait or not! Sometime's the waiting was getting me down but me and Mr. decided it was best to wait.
In Nov '08 we decided to start planning for a baby and get my health in a good place and we did but life got in the way, but 2 years later we got the Green light!!!! Thank god it has been a very long wait but I'm so over the moon!! I realize now that I need to keep working hard with my Diabetes, keep going! Wooohoooo!

My A1C is 6.1%! Delighted, It is very hard work and I don't have a pump never have, I am a MDI kinda girl, which works for me and I'm so happy that I'm so near to 6.0%, I was looking up what my avg blood sugar is with a A1C of 6.1%, well it says 7.8 is my avg BS!! Very good!  www.healthy-ojas.com
So I'm over the moon, Thank god!

Jealous??!!!

In Jan '10, I said goodbye to my Dad, a week later our good friends told us they were expecting their 1st baby in July, My gut twisted , "Why them why not us", " why do we have such a hard time???" I was very peeed off! (I was missing my Dad and I was lost!!!)  But over the moon for them, so excited for the 2 of them!! really was just peeed of with our situation! So I slowly started to get my blood sugar in range and tried so hard!
April '10 my A1c is 7.1 not too bad after the time I've had! My thyroid is good too, thank god! A month sooner we were told that my Brother and wife are expecting their 2nd baby in sept. That was another knife in the gut, but I kept working at my Blood sugar's  and hoping that our day will come! Hopefully?
