Default Pregnancy Prayers

So I have gestational diabetes and was just put on some insulin pills at night for now, but my blood sugar will probably raise as my pesky placenta continues to make more insulin interfering hormones. Anyway, pregnancy is stressful enough and now I have the added worry of wondering if my baby will be gigantic. I sure would appreciate prayers. Stress raises blood sugar too, so the worry about the diabetes probably isn't helping!

This is my 4th baby and the first time I've had this. I poke my fingers 5x a day and have to write down everything I eat, figure out what works for me and what doesn't, and it's a balancing act. I'm fine cutting carbs in a major way, but I have to have carbs because it's bad for my baby if I burn fat. Unfortunately I also have an aversion to most carbs and the morning sickness continues.

Bah!
