back off! pregnant cravings!

Errrr find myself wanting to eat rightnow! - although I am not hungry, just bored! but I know if I do---- that baby flab will be bigger then the baby! haha! so besides my hips feeling like they are seperating and I can sorely walk today, ( ligament pain? )  I guess I am doing well! only gianed 22 pounds so far! mmmm food!

grab some crunchy veggies, they wont kill ya. Carrots good for developing eyes.

Good idea! I always forget that carrots exist ha ha not sure by choice or truly having a pregnant moment! haha, maybe with a sour cream dip eh? - if they were organic carrots I wouldnt need a dip, my parents have a organic farm,and man the food is great, it makes it hard to shop at safeway, if they lived closer I would just eat their food! man miss it there!

I think carrots are PERFECT for those times you feel like eating "just because" -- it satisfies that need for the mouth to CHOMP ... and satisfies a sweet tooth too. Hmmmmm, I think I'm going to have some right now! :)

Hey winniesherwood; I'm pregnant too! How far along are you? I'm finally at 20 weeks; having my Ultrasound this week, so I'll find out the baby's sex. Yeah!

I know what you mean about eating when you're bored. I've been snacking on fat-free cheese slices, apples, low-fat yogurt, crackers and toast. At least those are the foods that I can bring to work. Unfortunately, ice cream has been calling my name, along with soda and other sweets. My BIL is staying with us and he could live off of Little Debbie snacks. We normally don't have Honey Buns and Oatmeal Cream Pies in the house; now we have boxes and boxes of them. Help!

aclayton-- ahhh sounds like you are in need of some pad locks.!!ha ha, lets see lately I have been finding that I have been ok, although, yesterday I didnt even count on the sight at all! ( i ate a blizzard and steamed chinesse food,) but had a healthy breakfast. your BIL, hm sounds like he needs to get on this sight! or else. congrats on the baby, it is exciting finding out the sex. I didnt wait either, i wanted to know what to call him/her in the womb, Yeah it is hard to eat a carrot when your BIL is eating a oatmeal cream pie! i feel for you! However yesterday I had such a bad craving for a blizzard from DQ that I caved, but I justified it with - I have been so good lately- ahhh we'll see if it catches up with my butt later! (although my weight dropped this morning by a pound, and dr said my fundal height was 2 cm lower then it should be, i do eat healthy and about 2200 cal a day!(my son had the hiccups right now, it feels so cool!) I notice some times if I feel like I am going to eat, I write a journal blog here or at home, it seems to work, as well I read some bible, that helps alot! makes you think lol! - have you picked any names yet? - let me know! winnie and Ezekiel

I miss being pregnant! Ahh, the hip pain and cravings!! Uncomfortable and hungry, but you gotta love it. Some of my favorite no guilt pregnant snacks:

apples with organic peanut butter (yum)

rice cakes with strawberry preserves

air popcorn with sprinkled parm cheese

frozen berries with cool whip

And of course, the ocassional ice cream cone, large sugar cookie with m&m's or a soft pretzel from Aunt Annies!! Hey, i fyou can;t indulge when your pregnant, when can you??? Congrats on being pregnany ladies, there is nothing like it in the world! My only regret is not having taken enough belly pictures, so keeo the camera snapping!!

yeah I am trying! haha I cant seem to get the right lighting lately!

frozen blueberries are fantastic! i am not a huge cool whip fan, but I could see whipping cream for sure!
