25 weeks

What a week.. on Friday I went in to do my 3 hour glucose test, and unfortunately, I failed. So from now until when Whitley is born, I do finger pricks 4x a day to test my blood sugar. So far it has been in excellent range, actually the highest it has been is 97, and that was even after a small amount of banana pudding.

Changing my dieting habits has actually been alot easier than I anticipated. Mainly, cutting out almost all of the butter usage when cooking (I will miss you Land O' Lakes) and substituting with olive oil, or butter flavored cooking spray. I recommend diabeticgourmet.com, that website is loaded with GD-friendly recipes that so far have been delicious!!! As I find award worthy recipes, I will try to post them for anyone looking.

The 25 week picture is somewhat late, but we have just been going and going, but I was able to snap a pic after getting home late Saturday night from going out to eat for Dusty's grandparent's 56 wedding anniversary! WOW! So please excuse the tired looking eyes..
