I found a new website (called baby fit) to log my foods in & I will use this throughout my pregnancy, since it focuses more on what is essential during this time. I tried to paste a link to my food journal but it won't paste the actual food journal page, it'll only work for the home page.

Daily goals for calcium 100-200g, protein 65-80g, folate 150-200g, iron 140-170 & calories 1,940-2,240.

My actual Totals-Calcium 179.8g, protein 127.4g, folate 207.3, Iron 92.7g, 2,159.8 calories.........this isn't including my vitamin, which will boost the numbers up significantly.

I know, I am also trying to keep to my daily minimum servings as follows:

Milk group; 3 servings
Meat groups; 2-3 servings (lf lean meats)
Grains; 6-8 servings
Vegetables; 3-5 servings
Fruit; 2-4 servings

I'm supposed to gain anywhere from 23-35lbs. I gained about 20-25 w/my 1st baby, gained 30 with my 2nd, hopefully this one will be about the same. As far as the cravings go, I always ate salads & fruits, but doughnuts were the worst craving w/my 1st, and with my 2nd the craving was pb & bananas. With this one so far it has been fish, pickles and sweet/sour stuff, but not all at the same time. HA HA HA

Guess who's back....back again?!? Well, almost.......I'm 37weeks and 2 days now. My doctor says she doesn't think it'll be but a couple more weeks. I'm already making progress, and having frequent contractions throughout the day. I've been trying to rest, but can't seem to stay off my feet; but the good thing is I have everything ready for when I do finally have to go to the hospital to have little Alexandria Nichole. My diet has been alright, but not too much excercising going on except for walking. This pregnancy has been the hardest on me so far, not that I've had complications, but just I'm more tired and forget stuff ALL THE TIME....from one minute to the next, actually more like 10 seconds later. I've gained the most weight with this pregnancy, too.....GASP!! 41lbs so far.....went from 138 to 179!!!! Lost the muscle definition that I had in my legs and was finally gaining in my arms.....and gained some fluffly stuff in my buns, dang, of all the places, that's where I least wanted it at!! Oh, well, I guess that's about it for now. Looking forward to getting back into the "swing of things" after the baby and my doctor gives me the "okay."
