Dr. K scheduled an ultrasound for tomorrow to check and make sure the baby is not ginormous from the extra sugar she's been consuming. I am thrilled to see her again but hate that it's under these circumstances.

30 Weeks
This week didn't start off great. We were diagnosed with gestational diabetes after flunking both glucose tolerance tests. BLAH.. I have to check my blood sugar 4 xs/day. I thought I would be able to just cut the large quantities of cookies, cakes and candy, but it seems like most carbs have to go. The diagnosis comes as no surprise, diabetes runs rampant on both sides of my family. I like eating small meals 6 xs/day but I'm still having a hard time feeling full eating very limited carbs.

Ack, that sucks! I was hoping you wouldn't wind up with gestational diabetes. You can totally handle it though, you have the tools and you can muster the willpower - you can do it!!
I am so sorry to hear all this! But on the flip side, look how cute you are!
