Squash


I'm not sure why, but all the baby books and websites refer to the size of the fetus as a fruit or vegetable. At this point the nugget is the size of a squash. Ironically, I have been eating a lot of squash this week.

What's the best pump?



I have talked to a few friends about the best breast pump and am getting mixed reviews. I've narrowed it down to two pumps, Lansinok and Medela. If you have anything positive or negative to say please let me know.

Thanks!

Gestational Diabetes


I have been following my gestational diabetes diet. So far I've lost 3 pounds this week and I'm not sure if that's a good thing. I'll be at the doctor this week and see what he says. The diet basically consists of monitoring my carbs. I can eat upto 60 carbs per meal and need to eat 3 meals/day. I also eat 3 snacks daily that each have up to 15 carbs. I feel like I'm eating all the time. My new favorite snacks are sugar free popsicles, which luckily I eat at night because they turn my lips and tongue the color of the popsicle and it takes hours before the color goes away. I also like what we found in Italy, joghurt. Which is America is plain yogurt.
