I decided we should share the good with the bad, so I wanted to let you know that I was recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Luckily, it looks like I'll be able to control it with diet, so I won't have to use insulin. If I keep my blood glucose between certain levels, I should be able to avoid any diabetes related pregnancy complications. Unfortunately, that means cutting down on sugars and carbohydrates. So, my holiday eating plans were all for naught, and right after Fiedler introduced me to the pumpkin pie cheesecake, too. :(

I was going to say how that pie looks delicious. And then I read your post. I'm glad you know about this and can manage it. Way better than not knowing. I remain super excited about you and Bret having a little one.
Happy thanksgiving.
