Happy D-Blog Day! All of my fears are shattered...

I have never felt less like a person with diabetes in my life. I feel like all my dreams are coming true, and that diabetes really has not hindered me in any way whatsoever. All those fears I had, and still have, that I could never be "normal", never accomplish my dreams, never find someone to love me, or the fear that I would never become a Mom... all those fears are shattered, they are gone like the dreams they were supposed to deny me of.

I cannot believe I am here today and I am healthy, so happy, married to a wonderful man, and expecting a precious child. I don't know what is to come and I know that complications and additional struggles will likely come my way, but that's okay. Everyone has struggles, they are just different for each person.

Sure, I am on cloud nine right now because in oh, about 24 hours I have my next ultrasound to find out the sex of our baby, so I'm pumped! And I still know that the anatomy scan may show things that I am not prepared for, but I've done a good job controlling my blood sugars as much as I can... I hope. But for this minute in time, I just want to get lost in the feeling of being a totally normal woman who is expecting a totally normal and healthy child and whose life is about to totally change as we find out whether we are welcoming a son or daughter into this world... a world where anyone's dreams can come true, no matter who tries to quash them with fears of the unknown...

Diabetes has not killed me, it has only made me stronger, and I am such a true believer in that!!

Happy D-Blog Day 2009!!

Your post just oozes happiness and I'm so happy for you! I expect that you will run (not walk) back from that appointment tomorrow and clue us all in on the sex of the baby because I'm dying to know!

Stay healthy and happy girly! You deserve it!

Yes! You go girl! I hope you enjoy your ultrasound tomorrow, no matter what! I loved the ultrasounds, it was so much fun seeing my baby while she was still inside of me.

Happy D-Blog day!

Layne: I will do my best to let you all know as soon as I can. I am still floating high above this earth and can't wait until our appointment!! :)

Happy D Blog Day to you, too George!

Bethany, I absolutely will enjoy the u/s, no matter what news it brings to us. Still just so excited! I'd say it's like waiting for Christmas, but Santa has nothing on the anticipation of THIS big event!

Colleen, I am so happy to hear I've made you smile!! Hopefully, I'll be back with news soon... it will be at the latest tomorrow!
