Bringing up Mama

     Well, they say each one's different, and I guess this baby is just proving that saying. Mrs. Penguin was recently diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. She will be starting on Glyburide today, as she has not been able to get her fasting morning blood sugars below 90, in spite of trying very hard for the last two weeks.
     This means that Mrs. Penguin now gets to spend a portion of her day twice a week in the L&D department being monitored, along with Baby. She has consistently measured big for the last few doctor's visits, so we may be getting one who is a little bigger than her siblings were at delivery.
     Prayers on both ladies' behalf would be greatly appreciated. Thank you - Penguin
