Bye, bye sugar!

I went to the doctor yesterday and found out that my blood sugar levels are sky high.
I passed my glucose test for gestational diabetes a few weeks back, but for some reason
my levels were really high when I went in yesterday. I think its because I have been seriously kicking back the sweets! Before I got pregnant I would have sweets every so often, now that I am pregnant it has been a different story. I have been really sluggish lately, also and have not been working out like I used to. So, the doctor told me to cut out eating sugar this week and to come back in next week and see if the levels have gone down. I really don't want to have a big big baby, so I am listening! It is day 2 of no sugar and can I tell you I already have more energy! I got up this morning and actually worked out and even though it is a little more difficult now that I am getting bigger I feel so much better! It's amazing what just a little bit of a difference can do. I love my sweets, but if cutting them out makes me feel this much better than I am glad I was told to do this! Also, I never shared what Josh and I did for our anniversary. He took me to a romantic dinner at a place called River Boat Landing. It's down town on the river and we had our own private balcony. We watched the sunset on the Cape Fear and ate AMAZING food! It was a lovely night!

So, I've eliminated sugar, white flour and processed foods. Amazing difference in energy and everything here too!! Wonder if that's why my babies were so big...

Love you guys and can't wait to meet the little guy!! You seriously glow with your baby bump. :)
