after several doctor's visits, i'm told i have gestational diabetes. it pretty much means that the next few months will be very, very difficult. i'm on a strict diet and have to check my glucose levels first thing in the morning and after each meal. this means i need to prick my finger around 4 times a day if i do things right, and if i mess up, more.
it wouldn't be so bad if Christmas were not coming up. but the mere thought of no bibingka, tsokolate, and all the other holiday goodies just makes me want to cry. the first time in my life that i would be able to pig out and not have to hold in my gut... and i have to diet.
no sugar.
no unscheduled snacks.
no juices.
no ice-cream.
no gingerbread.
*sigh*
now, i REALLY can't wait to give birth!
