So, as with my first pregnancy, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Though for the most part, it is not so bad, (less weight gain, healthier eating for the baby) there are definitely some challenges to GD. Mostly, I can't indulge in certain foods that are too "carby". So it's been about 3 months since I had pizza, pasta or ice cream. Tonight, I felt like living on the edge and we ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pizza. I made sure just to have one slice ... didn't eat the crust ... ran around the house for about 20 minutes afterwards doing house cleaning to burn off some of the blood sugars!! And I passed my blood sugar test with a 124 (need to be under 130). Though it was rather high, it still was low enough to be within range. Oh pizza how I loved you and how worth it you were!! I'll see you in 2 to 3 weeks when the kid finally arrives!!
