Blessing or Curse

I have been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes early in this pregancy. I really thought I would dodge this bullet, but alas I did not. I could look at this in many different ways but have decided to go with blessing. I am eating better than I ever have and walking once or twice a day. The Doctors have asked me to gain no more than ten pounds max. This was almost a challenge to me. I am doing pretty well there. I have lost five pounds this week. I feel strange and terribly excited about that. I feel like it is bad to lose weight when I am pregnant but at the same time it feels great. The diatician says I will have to have insulin at some point which sucks but I will do what is best for baby. The food is plenty but I have to work on eating it all. So all is well so far. I pray for strength during Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I may have to start running.
