I’m back from my long hiatus! It hasn’t been easy trying to juggle my own leisure time and looking after a kid (even though I have help from my in-laws), but I’m determined to get back into the pace of things. A lot has happened and now Emilee is 15 months old. Will try to do…

I am slowly learning to accept my condition. While it is quite a hassle to change my food intake schedule, I try to find and focus on the positive points in this whole exercise of monitoring my blood sugar. Although I’m told to only take and record down my blood sugar readings twice a week,…

I meant to blog earlier about the last baby seminar I attended, but things got a little busy for me. By the time I was ready to write, I got hit by some bad news. I had gone for the Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) and the results weren’t good. I am diagnosed with gestational diabetes….

Hey Baby, Do you know you’re very lucky? There are so many people who love you and have showered you with gifts even though you’re still in mummy’s womb. Even when you were just a tiny jelly bean, people were excited about you and couldn’t wait to meet you. You are really blessed. Never forget…
