So I have been busy and sick and what not and haven’t been using this space a lot. I am going to try to remedy that now. I have such a beautiful site and design, it’s a shame to waste it.

So in case you didn’t know I am pregnant, somewhere around 30 weeks this week, still to be determined. I have been having some medical and doctor issues and that is one of the reasons blogging here has been a bit sporatic to say the least. I will enlighten you if you care to read further with some of the issues I am experiencing with this pregnancy.

Goodbye chocolate cake, I hope we meet again.

As anyone who has ever been pregnant knows, some of the cravings hit you so hard you cannot function until you have the food, or drink you are jonesing after. For me this becomes a bit of a problem as I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. I take 4 rounds of insulin a day in the stomach and check my blood sugar with a glucometer 5 times a day. By now I am so tired of poking myself I wouldn’t risk a piece of cake for fear of more needles! I count total carbs for each meal and snacks. It’s not so bad really. I am losing weight in all my other parts so I may stay on this diet after the baby comes.

More to come a bit later, we do have a name for the little fellow that I will reveal with his first baby pictures sometime soon. Marco is a life saver without him I wouldn’t have survived this round, he works full time, keeps us fed, and clothed and the house clean. There are times I would wash his feet if getting to the floor wasn’t a problem. A fellow book blogger BookinIt who lives in the same area as me was very helpful in finding me a doc who at 30 weeks will give me a second opinion on some issues I am having. Thank you for being proactive and helping a newbie to the area out. More blogging to come soon here.
