23 wks
Weight gain: 10 lbs (since my last appointment which was 4 weeks ago, had to push my appointment to next week due to a scheduling conflict with work and I know my weight gain is going to be every bit of at least 5 lbs if not more)
Symptoms/Conditions: ECP and horrible hip pain. It has become really difficult to do the steps at home because of my hips but I still keep trucking on and I continue to walk my mile everyday.
Other: This baby is going to come out a soccer player or acrobat or something for how much he is flipping, kicking, jabbing and moving around these days. He is already making my belly move with his kicks!! I love it though.
Next appointment: July 23rd obView Thread

7:00 - Breakfast - bowl of cereal before I leave for work. I am hooked on Honey Bunches of Oats, Mulitgrain Cheerios and Rasin Bran right now.
9:30 - Mid morning snack either yogurt, fruit or graham crackers with peanut butter.
12:30 - Lunch, I usually try to have a salad for lunch but recently that hasn't been cutting it so I have started to either add chicken to my salad or sometimes I get a slice of veggie pizza. I also usually have some fruit or yogurt with my lunch.
3:00 - Afternoon snack. I bring the following things to work at the beginning of each week to pick from for my afternoon snack - trail mix, cheese sticks, hummus and crackers, peanut butter and crackers or veggies with dip.
6:00 - 6:30 - Dinner - I make a variety of things for dinner including one night a week we have fish usually grilled with baked potatoes and a veggie, I make allot of chicken dishes like marinated grilled chicken, chicken fajitas, BBQ chicken, baked chicken etc. With the chicken dishes I usually make a rice dishes with whole grain or brown rice and a veggie and when I make fajitas we have them on whole grain tortilla with lots of extra veggies like peppers, onion, lettuce, tomatoe and I always make black or refried beans for some extra protein. Pork chops either marinated, BBQed or breaded. I limit red meat to one night a week and usually make either steaks on the grilled or a cut of meat in the crockpot with a side dish and veggies.
8:30 - 9:00 - DD and I always have a bedtime snack together usually either cereal, ice cream or yogurt with fruit to get in an extra milk serving. Lately it has been ice cream because it has been so hot and what pregnant woman doesn't like ice cream??? LOL
Hope this is helpful to you!!View Thread
