It's official...being pregnant sucks

I'm on medication for high blood pressure. Two days of cutting out salt entirely did not lower the reading. Not that I think I can go like that for 5 more months. At the doctor's office yesterday, I get more bad news, I have gestational diabetes. In addition to cutting sweets, carbs, fruits, I will have to test my blood sugar 4 times a day. For 2 weeks. That's 56 sticks. No wonder my parents always said, "the sacrifices I made for you". I'm so totally using that on my kid!
