Fruit of the Vine
I crave for something sweet--mango ice cream, strawberry shortcake, tiramisu, key lime pie or egg tart! Yet I know I can't have them.
Yesterday, I felt the urge to have a glass of wine--or even just a sip. A colleague from out of town came and a few of us went out for happy hour. Yes, a pregnant woman in a bar was atypical and some people did stare, but I couldn't care less! What couldn't escape my senses though was the smell of wine. My friends were having red wine and the sweet, oaky, grassy aroma was just utterly inviting! I settled for cranberry-pineapple juice, which I've always loved. But yesterday, I was just miserable.
Why does our palate long for something we can't have?
For now, I'll have to settle with fruit. And not much of it too--just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth.

i can understand your frustration liz kay kung ako siguro ana, magwala ko. i am not disciplined when it comes to food. i suppose i was lucky when i was pregnant, i ate just practically all the sweets i could find. but you are really good, to put your child's welfare first ahead of your cravings. good for you, good girl!
chi, if i breastfeed i still can't drink, right? Whuaaaa!!! =(
thanks keth! di lang ko gusto magmahay. some people are so lucky, they can just pig out! although i tested negative of GDM, i was advised to avoid sweets because i still have a family history of diabetes.
patience...patience...i need more of this!
cuz, i can really sense your frustration there. sige lang, all for the little one... :-)
