About to go to sleep but thought I should get this long overdue post sorted once and for all. So many things have happened since my last post - Karpal Singh died in a car accident and his son got elected to take over his place being one of it. The sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah also passed away about a week ago at 84 after much speculation of his death since the last general election last March. He is succeeded by his son, Raja Nazrin.
The main push factor for me to write this post is... I received a call from Dr Ng at about 4pm yesterday telling me that my GTT shows that I have gestational diabetes. What a bummer. He mentioned that my fasting blood was alright. At at T+1, it went up to 7 and then instead of going down, it went further up to 9 after another hour. That's sucky news. I'm asked to check in into the hospital for a night's stay to do more checks and get advice for diet. Sigh, baby. Papa got really worried too.
After feeling down awhile and reading a whole load on GD, I told myself that I have no excuses now not to exercise and to eat healthily, for all our sake and especially for your sake, baby. We still have 3 months to go but I kept reminding Papa not to be too down by it and just make lemonade out of the lemons.
We will be alright, baby. We will be.
Dear Father, I pray for You to take control of my bodily functions. Let my cells be sensitive to continue to produce insulin to break down the glucose in my system. Help me to stay within the normal range. Most importantly, continue to keep baby safe and help him grow and develop well. Let his organs and body form properly with no dysfunction especially in his heart and lungs which may be associated with the increased blood sugar. I pray against diabetes and obesity after the birth for both of us. Lord, remove any fear in me and help me stay focus and keep things in control. Thank You for being there for us, never forsaking us. Amen.
