(((((Brenda))))) My sister developed gestational diabetes as well...the UP side was that she had to watch her diet very strictly, and so did not put on so many pounds.....not such a consolation, I know... Kathy s -----Original Message----- From: Thomas, Brenda L. [mailto:blthomas@xxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Sunday, May 30, 2004 3:08 PM To: tri-wings@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tri-wings] Thank you... Thank you all for the prayers and hugs over the last few days. I've felt all of them. I'm really not looking forward to this next week. Monday is the funeral visitation for my aunt, Tuesday the funeral, then Wednesday is my Endocrinologist appt. Did I mention that during all of this sadness with my aunt, I failed my 1 hour glucose test and the 3 hour test also. So, I officially have gestational diabetes with this pregnancy. Don't want to have a pity party, but boy do I need a rest from the stress of my life these days... =20 Hugs, Brenda - wife to Rich, mommy to Matthew Alexander(2), Grace Alexandra (^i^ 8/31/03 full T-13) and Nicholas Andrew (EDD 8/25/04) =20 =20 Building ___ooOOoo__ Rainbows =20 www.trisomyonline.org =20 Families Helping Families On-line =93This e-mail is sent on the Terms and Conditions that can be accessed b= y Clicking on this link http://www.vodacom.net/legal/email.asp " Building ___ooOOoo__ Rainbows www.trisomyonline.org Families Helping Families On-line
