The Adventure that Will Last a Lifetime

Recently I've been completely negligent and absent from my blog. I miss my blogging friends and readers like crazy. However, I did want to announce that my husband and I are expecting our first child!!! We are extremely excited and can't wait for the remaining 4 1/2 months to fly by. However, in a past post about hunters who face difficult physical challenges, I did mention that I'm also a type 1 diabetic. While many type 1 diabetic women have wonderful, healthy pregnancies and children, it does pose its own set of problems. Besides struggling with the regular symptoms, I'm struggling to keep my body at the most normal it has ever been. Without getting into the medical details, it has taken alot of dedication, consideration, and many many many tears. To put it simply, it has been absolutely terrifying. Because of the high-risk nature of the pregnancy, we've traveled about once a week to see a member of my team of doctors, who all practice several hours from where we live. This has truly been one of the most emotionally and physically challenging moments of my life, so please understand that while I miss blogging it just isn't high on the priority list. Hopefully, before long I'll be able to update with lots of photos and good news, but for now I appreciate knowing that not all of my followers have left me. Thank you blogging friends.
