Well, I thought maybe I could escape the rath of diabetes during pregnancy, but I won't be so lucky. I have joined the group of millions of Americans with gestational diabetes. Hopefully, it will disappear after the baby is born, but this certainly has been an eye opener. With diabetes in the family history, it's something to take very seriously as my chances of having it again later in life or other pregnancies is greatly increased. So, I am putting us on the diabetic diet and starting back to our regular walks again....even though it was 96 degree today, June 1st! Yikes - it's going to be a hot summer. I'm thinking a pool sounds great right now! So here I am with my new diabetic cookbook - I'll share recipes as we try them....
What a fun weekend and a big thanks to the Byrds who threw a shower for Baby Mac!! It was a laid back weekend full of fun with friends. It all started with an Engagement Party in Winona on Friday night. Thank goodness it wasn't too hot...but the mosiquitos are already out in full force. On Saturday, we had our pool party baby shower. This shower rejuvenated me into getting things ready for Baby Mac as I have been dragging my feet lately. I just wanted to share some photos from the weekend (sorry no pool pics - I didn't even attempt to have any pics taken in a maternity swimsuit...yikes!!) and the wonderful gifts that have been so graciously given to Baby Mac!! Also, we got the crib in and we managed to set it up together. Only had one little arguement and I was in the wrong...imagine that! Jeff was a happy camper...hehehe It's real now - the guest room has been taken over. Enjoy the pics! I will upload the final nursery pics once I have it complete. It's almost done!
