Nutrition

I have GOT to get my nutrition in order. I take my pre-natals, but I need more Calcium. Also, a dehydrated little (okay, ginormo) tablet just can't take the place of fruits, veggies, and quality protein. THANK GOODNESS I can still eat chicken, but just about every other meat makes me gag thinking about. I would love to eat cheese, but our fridge is so gosh darned stinky I don't want to open the fridge to indulge! Fruits- I bought a lot of stuff for smoothies, but always forget about them and veggies... ew. Just about the only veggie I can think of stomaching is carrots. Green beans, lima beans, and peas don't sound too bad, but by the time I cook them the smell gets to me. I am hoping these food aversions go away soon. In the meantime I am going to try and force myself to eat some healthy foods.


In news having nothing to do with foods: baby kicks/ flutters all the time! I joke that my baby is hyperactive, but maybe its true! I get tickled a lot and even little pop-pop-pops sometimes. Its a wonderful feeling. Nineteen days until we schedule the appointment for the "big ultrasound". I am hoping like crazy they will schedule it for the week before finals, which I will actually be 21 weeks, and they want to do it at 22 weeks. BUT the Friday before I will be 21 weeks and 5 days... Close enough, right? How am I supposed to concentrate on my finals when the little baby is kicking and I have no idea if its a girlie or guy? Here's hoping!

Love, the Christians- Cricket, Courage, Jess and the onion growing inside of my uterus (we can't wait for Jacob to get home from work!)
