I am one of the lucky ones, I have had a wonderful pregnancy! I have enjoyed every minute of being pregnant. But, this week a health issue has come up. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I'm sure some of you mom's have had to deal with this condition. Right now the doctor is trying to control it with diet. Hopefully, eating better and exercise will help me get through the next several months. I have to admit that it has been hard to give up the treats because I have such a sweet tooth!

My mom is dealing with a health issue of her own. The day we found out we were having a baby, my mom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. It is cancer of the plasma cells. There is no cure, but there is treatment for the disease. She received a stem cell transplant this week but will be in the hospital for a while. Our baby will be my parent's first grandchild and they are thrilled. I think the baby is helping my mom do battle against this cancer. Hopefully,when the baby arrives my mom will be back to her old self.

xoxo,
