Encouragement for Momma's with Gestational Diabetes

I have been seeing a lot of random posts of others scared/worried/freaking out about not passing their glucose test and being diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. In fact, I was one of them a couple weeks ago.

I just wanted to take a minute and say that we CAN do this! Yeah, it sucks and it's definitely not the easiest thing to deal with... especially with all of the pregnancy hormones and cravings. But it's just for a short time. It's not permanent! As long as we are doing the best we can and following the instructions and wisdom of our doctors the best we can, we are doing a GOOD job! We are NOT failures! We are growing a tiny human and we are putting them first, despite emotions and feeling deprived from food. And that's so important! It WILL be worth it! 

And I think it's okay to be upset about it because it is stressful. I've cried a couple times already. But by the end of this, we will have sweet little babies to kiss and hold. 💗
