temptation

 First off, happy spring! Secondly, why do I make such yummy treats that I'm not allowed to eat?  I have gestational diabetes and so sugar is not allowed in my diet...boo!  Most women don't find out if they have gd until about the 28th week of their pregnancy.  Lucky me, I have such good doctors that have decided to test their patients early on in their pregnancies to nip the problem in the bud.  I won't lie, I had a little bit of a break down at first (in Costco, no less), but I'm now fine!  I've found food that is actually good for me and our little blueberry (actually our little blueberry is about the size of navel orange this week!).  I have to take my blood sugar levels 4 times daily, meaning I have to prick my fingers to draw blood 4 times a day, and report to my doctor weekly. 
So, why tempt myself with such deliciousness?  I had book club at my house last night and have been wanting to make this Southern Strawberry Cake that I found here.  So I made it ...and maybe I even ate a very small piece.  Cake has never tasted so good!
Consumed in a flurry!
