The Safe Food List (So Far)

1. Whole grain blueberry oatmeal (some strange off brand)
2. Turkey sausage links
3. Oranges (only 1/2 per meal)
4. Grapes (only 30 per meal)
5. Wendy's Single burger without cheese
6. Chili (in small quantities)
7. Toast
8. Salad
9. Celery sticks
10. Carrot Sticks
11. No sugar, high fiber yogurt
12. Cottage Cheese
13. Fajitas without shells
14. Stir-Fry without sauce
15. California Pizza Kitchen extra thin crust pizza

As you can see - it's been a very boring diet and a very careful process of adding new things to the safe list (one item at a time). Each morning I add or change one thing to something new to see how it is going to affect my blood sugar. So far I've only had one reading above the doctor's recommended level (the first breakfast did not go so well).

Tomorrow we are trying breakfast burritos. On an interesting note, Sparky is apparently no longer on a sugar high and has been less active (don't worry - she is still passing the kick test everyday, so there is no reason to be concerned about her health or safety). My poor belly is finally getting a reprieve from the constant motion that we had been experiencing due to Sparky's sugar fueled behavior. The whole family is sleeping much better.

Dear Little Sparky, Hopefully you will feel better too, on Mommys new diet. Sounds hard to me, but maybe I should try it too. It does sound healthy. I need to eat more vegetables. I love you very much, and can't wait to see you.Love, Hugs and Kisses Great Grandma
