Time to close out your work week with a nice cup of coffee and the Blogabetes Weekly Round Up for November 30th.

Returning from maternity leave and ready to jump back in, Rebecca treats us to a four-part series on the birth of her first son. Great information here for anyone who is pregnant, or thinking of becoming pregnant, with diabetes.

Nicole touches upon childbearing in her introspective post this week, The Great Children Debate. She asks the questions we have all asked ourselves, or may have been too afraid to ask. Weigh in with what you think.

One of our writers celebrated a birthday this week - Rob! He writes about staring into the Abyss with a party hat on his head and talks about how diabetes adds a different spin on some perspectives.

Carey offers up a very moving piece about Pop-Pop and how his son and his grandfather shared a name, and a disease.

The Love/Hate Relationship that Michelle has with diabetes is the focus of her intriguing post. Do you share her views?

In a "Dear Santa" letter from Julia, she touches upon what every parent of a child with diabetes is hoping for - a cure.

Andy, our resident fitness expert, writes about his first steps towards possibly using an insulin pump. Are you using a pump? Did you go through this same thought process when making your decisions?

Kim circles back and encourages Ms. Halle Berry to make a statement and clear things up about her diabetes management. Do you think celebrities with diabetes owe the public an explanation? Share your thoughts!

Our "dad with diabetes" blogger, George, lets us listen in on two conversations with his daughter. What would you say to your kids if they asked you about diabetes, either yours or theirs?

Get to your friendly, neighborhood Blogabetes writers - and feel free to leave them your comments!
