I think that staying within your range is not a cookie cutter solution for all moms to be with high blood sugar. Our bodies all handle and process carbs differently, and your level of physical activity plays into your results as well. However, here are some things that are working for me. Posting this to…

Diabetes and Pregnancy: What I Have Learned
My name is AnnieLaurie and I have Gestational Diabetes. Before you say I am making a big deal out of something a lot of people get (18% of pregnant women), let me just say that it *IS* a big deal and can cause serious complications for mom and baby. What isn’t a big deal, honestly,…
The Nine-Month Myth
Before I was pregnant, I thought that a woman carried her baby in her womb for 9 months. When I saw pregnant ladies I knew I would ask them how many “months” they were. Since I have become “great with child” this year I have realized that 9 months is a big fat lie. Women…
The Truth About Baby Names
Unsurprisingly, I’ve been doing alot of thinking about baby names lately. We find out the sex of our baby on Thursday this week. We have talked a little about names, but we decided to hold off on it until we knew if the baby was a boy or a girl, largely because we couldn’t agree…

For Better or For Worse…
When newlyweds are young and in love and wrapped in the whirlwind of excitement that comes with a wedding celebration, how seriously do we stop and contemplate what it means to love, honor and cherish our spouse for better or for worse? For better is the easy part, but how do we handle seasons of…
H is for Husband and for Hero
My husband is my hero. Now before you turn to the side and gag, let me tell you why. My husband loves God. He is fully devoted to knowing, loving and living out the ways of Jesus in his day to day life. This means that he strives to love me as much as he…
Praying for Your Marriage
This week in the “Women Living Well” marriage challenge, we are intentionally and more proactively praying for our husbands. Courtney (the blog’s author) is encouraging us to pray through the topics listed in the book “Power of a Praying Wife.” As I have mentioned previously on my blog, I have found that praying through that…
