About two weeks back her OBGYN found out that This Girl was glucose tolerant and she was sent home to monitor her blood levels twice weekly for two weeks.

This girl has been told to monitor her glucose level twice weekly these two weeks. The first two days passed with little incident.

Its been something she’s had to lay off for the past year cos The Boy has allergies (no egg) which made baking pretty much anything a “food trigger”. So, [...]

This second trimester is being a little kinder to this girl.
