phish food

i've been loving ben and jerry's phish food. i can't get enough of it. mik orders me a pint from freshdirect and i try to make it last a week. it's tough...  like a piece of heaven in my mouth.  i've been on a sweet kick for a while. ice cream, chocolate, more ice cream... no wonder i've been gaining weight (dr. dobrenis told me not to worry about it)!  :(  but i've been working out 4-5 times a week so it's kind of ok.... sort of?

if i have gestational diabetes (i pray i don't), i would def have to give up all the sweets and eat a balanced diet. i would have to watch what i eat all the time. i really really really hope i don't have it. not because i want to keep eating sweets. i can give that up. i just don't want my baby to get too big (which may lead to delivery complications too) or for him to have low blood sugar or jaundice. pregnant women with gestational diabetes are also likely to get diabetes after pregnancy. :( my sisters didn't have it during their pregnancies so hope neither do i!  dr. dobrenis will call us tomorrow with the result of the glucose screening.  i just pray that it's negative.

we had filipino brunch for a friend's bday and filipino dinner with slomo/stefan.  dragon baby is a happy camper.  :)
