When I had to take the blood test to find out if I had gestational diabetes I cringed at the thought of them taking my blood 5 times in 3 hours but I also cringed at the thought of not eating sweets. I love basically everything sweet. My husband laughed as he told me that I can not have gestational diabetes because I can not go without eating sweets. He knows me well.
Once I found out that I do indeed have gestational diabetes, I was told I needed to adjust my diet to keep it under control. Well you all know that I like to bake and that it is just not normal to not have any sweets around our house. So today I figured I better continue with my normal life and bake cookies. Well I baked those dang cookies and I did not eat the batter, have a cookie, or even lick my fingers once. I must say that I am still pretty shocked that I was able to do that. Truthfully I don't think I would have been able to if I wouldn't have this little guy in my belly to think about.
The good thing about gestational diabetes is that once you have the baby it normally goes away. Hopefully it does but if not, at least I know I have more willpower than I thought.
