Well I am starting a new adventure! I had a beautiful baby girl on May 16th , Paisley Rae! While I was pregnant I developed gestational diabetes and let me tell you this scared the crap out of me! I thought all these horrible things were going to happen to my baby including death! From the moment my doctors diagnosed me gestational diabetes I changed everything including what I ate, drank and exercised! I immediately stopped all sugar intake. Amazingly enough this was not hard for me because I was doing it for my baby. I religiously checked my blood 4 times a day 1 hour after eating along with taking my medication my blood sugar was always exactly where it should have been but the minute I ate something like white bread my blood sugar would spike! It was then I realized how bad sugars were for my body or maybe it was the day after I gave birth and drank a Sprite and my blood sugar was like 210! I gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl and she did not have any problems with her blood sugars which can happen she also only weighed 6pd 15 oz I believe this happened because I followed my doctors diet to to T because I was so scared of what could happen to her!
Now 2 months later it is time for me to get healthy for my baby girl! Starting tomorrow I am going to change my life! It's not going to be easy but I know that I am strong and I can do it! I am starting a diet under the watch of a doctor and I could not be more excited! I am going to start blogging about different recipes I will use and how my diet is going. I think this will help me stay focused and determined!
If you are reading this I hope you start following me and if you can give me any advice it would be much appreciated!
