Hello Again.

Hello there!  I'm climbing out of my cave and thinking about posting again regularly on my blog.  If you scroll down a teeny bit you'll see that I haven't posted since October 1, 2013.  Yikes!

Pregnancy & Protein

Did you know that pregnant women need 60-70 grams of protein per day in their third trimester?  I didn't realize that until last week when I got my 32 week e-mail from the hospital where I plan to deliver.  I was a little bit concerned since I don't eat meat except fish and being pregnant… Continue reading Pregnancy & Protein

Bump Watch – 32 Weeks

This week I am 32 weeks along.  Only 8 more weeks to go.  The time sure is flying by!
