You Are What You Eat

According to BabyCenter.com, the top ten foods for me to eat in my present condition are:

1. Fruit

2. Raisins

3. Yogurt

4. Make-it-yourself trail mix

5. Salad bar

6. Baby carrots

7. String cheese

8. Orange juice fortified with calcium and vitamin D

9. Whole grain cereal or instant oatmeal

10. Fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese

Would you believe that I've eaten almost everything on this list in the last week? We're out of cottage cheese, yogurt, and orange juice, but I've eaten everything else. It's nice to know that I'm doing something right.

Or course, I've also eaten ice cream a few times this week...

Of course you had ice cream! Babycenter is seriously delusional if they think that ice cream isn't actually on the top 10 list. :)

Have you gone onto your due date club on the forum on that site? Personally, I've used babyzone.com for both of my kids because I found the site and the forum easier to use and navigate. Anyway, it's neat to be able to hear what other women are saying and going through at the same time you are. I'd recommend it.

Also, I may be the first to ask, but I'll speak for your blog-following public and request progress pictures! The request will become a demand if you will not comply. ;)

I'm totally with Paige on the ice cream thing. I should make my own top ten list. 1) Cookies N Cream ice cream. 2) Chocolate ice cream. 3) Fudge Swirl ice cream ... ;-)

Also, this list sounds quite a bit like the Short List of Things Logan Will Eat, minus the salad or the carrots (he told me a few weeks ago that the only vegetable he likes is tater tots!). But that's another reason to add ice cream to the list; he likes that. ;-)

Also: running out of cottage cheese at my house is cause for mutiny. My kids canNOT get enough of that stuff. I buy it at Costco because otherwise we'd go through a container a day ... seriously.

Yeah, so you see that first comment that claims to be from Paige? It's not from Paige. It's from me. If that were actually from Paige then she has two kids we don't know about and a lot of explaining to do. :)
