This pregnancy has certainly put a hamper on any foodie tendencies I've been developing. Some of you may remember my enthusiasm for the burgeoning food truck scene in LA. And living in Culver City, where there are so many interesting restaurants opening all the time, and several we just haven't had a chance to try out, certainly has tempted me into wanting to eat out more lately. I remember going out a lot when I was pregnant with Bubble Girl, knowing it would be harder once she was born. But with my morning sickness lasting well into my 20th week of pregnancy, followed by a short respite, before entering the world of hospital dining cuisine in my 23rd week, I've had little opportunity to indulge my palate.
And then a few days ago I found out that I have gestational diabetes. I'm learning how an already unpleasant hospital menu can be made even less unappealing. I tell you, between the morning sickness and the GD, I may pull off a pregnancy miracle--gaining no weight while watching my belly grow larger and larger. The bigger danger will be gaining weight after I finally get to go home and eat some normal food again!
