A Hint of the Queeeeezies

Today I feel a little on the queezie side which I am glad for because I have been pretty much symptomless and it has been driving me crazy. All the books say that the symptoms don't usually really hit until a woman is around 6 weeks into her pregnancy. I am around 5 weeks now so I figure I am going to enjoy the peaceful time while I still have it.

Stan's mom bought me all these great books on pregnancy and so I have started doing a lot of reading. Actually it was great because I have a "What To Expect.." book but I have a version that I already read like 3 or 4 years ago so it was really cool she got me the revised version which I must say is already a huge improvement. Stan's mom also got me "What to Eat When You're Expecting" which I have begun to read and I am already loving. It has really helpful advice and since I am already overweight I have to be really careful about the amount of weight I gain and what I am actually putting into my body. She also bought us a book about being an expectant father and a book of baby names.

I love how excited she is and I can't wait to have her be a huge part of this babies life. I just love all of her energy and she really has a big heart. It's nice to have her as excited as I am about this it let's me know that our baby will have such an amazing loving family and I really could not ask for more!

I visited with Paulette McMillian on Friday and she gave me a healthy eating plan for my pregnancy and I must admit I am really happy with it. She went over good choices and said that if I am having a craving that I should give into it a little so that it doesn't blow up into an obsession and I go all crrrazy.

This morning I started out my healthy eating plan with a nice bowl of Healthy Heart cereal and I am planning on getting a hot ham & cheese sandwich, fruit & either some veggie soup or a small salad for lunch. That way everything will be represented there and I will be very proud of my well rounded diet. You know I am really praying that this way of eating sticks for me. That I make sure every meal has a representation from each group and that I am always having a well rounded meal.
