Yes...I am a diabetic :)
Haha! Well I guess I forgot to tell most of the world about this recent development, but I have developed gestational diabetes! Isn't life just full of little twists and turns?! My Dr. scheduled me for one of those sugar tests a few weeks ago (just to be safe) and the results came back positive. Now I get to eat a very strict diet, on a very strict schedule, prick my fingers and take glucose readings 7 times a day, and generally have a great time!
It's really not as bad as it sounds though, it is just annoying as heck. Matt and I have a deal that as soon as this baby gets here (and I mean immediately after delivery) he will bring me a LARGE BOX of ice cream snickers...which is something I have been craving and not allowed to eat for the last couple of weeks. Maybe a couple of Wendy's baked potatoes too. I am also vowing to become a vegetarian after this diet that forces me to eat meat about 12 times a day. :)
For those who are worried about the baby, don't be. He is just as safe and healthy as ever. Gestational diabetes really only affects his size (he can get too big) so they are tracking that carefully. Other than that though, all is well in the whomb.
So anyway, sorry if I forgot to mention this to anybody. It has been an interesting experience for me. I promise I will try to keep you all posted on any new exciting changes involving my body in the upcoming months! Eat protein!

So, did you know that my family (and i) lived in Copperas Cove?! What ward are you in? Here are some of my favorite people:
Fanos (Peka is one of my fave people)
Eliason (my sister dated Josh)
Jones (Parley and Fred are friends, esp. Parley)
Hmm... I'm trying to remember other people. Anyway, say hello to anyone who remembers Annie Thomas and the Thomas fam!! Love you guys,
