your body is no longer accustomed to breaking down and processing meat products.  red meat is much harder for your body to digest than poultry and seafood anyway.  there is nothing wrong with skipping out on "meat" and opting for seafood.  it's a healthier alternative most of the time, as long as it isn't fried.

if you WANT to eat meat, you have to gradually add it back into your diet.

hey ladies! sorry i haven't checked in much, but i've been spending the majority of my time on babycenter.com. =)

i had a little nausea this morning when i smelled the coffee i brewed for my hubby, but i managed not to url. 

i'm also still extremely hungry and i slept most of the weekend away.  seems like soon after i wake up, i'm ready for a nap again.  my boobs are still really sore, and i'm peeing LOTS. 

i am thinking of all of you! 

congrats, sam.  [my name is samantha too]

yes, apparently, we have the same name, as this caused a HUGE ordeal about a year ago which caused me to stop posting in any of the forums.  i was accused of stealing her name, however it was just a pure coincidence, as one of my friends actually called another girl this once in front of me, making a fat joke towards her. 

sorry for the confusion.

i have to admit that about two weeks ago, i read all the posts here and was a TAD bit jealous because my hubby and i weren't exactly "trying" but we weren't exactly NOT trying either...and he would say everyday "i bet my baby is in there.." so we were just on the "wait and see" cycle...

i tested two weeks ago because i just FELT preggo, but it was negative, and i was a little bummed, but pretended it didn't bother me.  leonard (what i call my monthly friend) was due around the 3-5th of the month and had not peeked his little red head, and i've had other symptoms like being tired before 5:00 in the afternoon after getting a whole 8-9 hours sleep, going to the bathroom all day and night, being hungry soon after finishing meals, and the very VERY tender/achey breasts, so i decided i'd go get a test from the dollar tree today...

i got two.

baby maldonado #2 is on its way!  i calculated the due date and it's about may 12th.  yipppeeee!

i was always the "average" looking girl in school.  i never wore make-up, never wore dresses or skirts, i wasn't obsessed with the way my hair looked and i didn't carry a brush around in my back pocket.  i also wasn't stick-skinny and had a pretty thick figure, so that i was named "cornbread" in middle school.  people would tease me and say i was fat, i was ugly,  i needed to wear make-up (because, obviously that was THE thing to do). 

i'm 26 years old now, and the things i hear all the time are, "you have the best shape", "i wish i could get away with NOT wearing make-up and still being beautiful", "i wish i could pull off your style." 

not to mention that all those girls who were stick skinny are almost all overweight now, and they all married their high school sweethearts, guys we grew up with from the sandbox days, and i changed high schools sophomore year, and married MY high school sweetheart who is MUCH better looking than any of their spouses, and that's the last but, NOT least thing they say "your husband is gorgeous and your daughter is beautiful."

i'm a clemson fan, and we aren't ranked in the top 25 in any of the preseason rankings, HOWEVER, we ARE ranked higher than south carolina gamecocks...which is all most of us clemson fans REALLY care about.

my blood runneth orange.

 You just like the gamecocks because of their name. ;)

 CORRECTION: i DON'T like the gamecocks....AT ALL.  they are our biggest rival. [i'd rather call them the shamecocks, lamecocks, or jail birds...since they're notorious for someone getting locked up every season..]

  GO TiGERS!  [CLEMSON, THAT iS!]    

if you have disciplined your child, why do you NEED a leash?  i have a 6 year old, and i've never had to LEASH her.  if children are young and you feel the need to use a leash, then they need to be carried, strollered [i think i made that word up], or hand-held.
