30-5-2009 - wk 23 appointment on 5/28/09

My mood while writing this blog: happy

hello ladies!! so i had my wk 23 appointment a couple days ago and it went great besides the scale, it's my enemy now..lol. heard xaviers heartbeat and heard him moving around too. i told my doctor that i've been walking at least 3-4 times a wk but that i usually try and go for walks everyday of the week and that i didn't know why i gained 5lbs in this last mnth. she gave me some advice and asked what food groups have i been eating most of and i told her beans, eggs, grains, rice, bread, nuts, fruits and veggies and chicken sometimes but meat very rarely then she asked me what type of beans what type of nuts and stuff but in the end i am eating to many complex carbohydrates without protein (even if nuts and beans have protein they turn have more starch) oh yeah and alot of tortilla chips and potato chips which she said is fine but not to eat everyday to have a cheat day where i can eat all the junk food i want instead of eating it everyday and she told me to start eating more protein rich foods like tofu, which i like but haven't bought because it got expensive. i'm also going to track my daily intake of food (hope i stay good!). sorry about all the weight and food talk and my uterus was measuring thurs at 23 wks and 5 days so it's measuring 4 days in advance. ok so apparently next appointment is when i do the glucose test, yay how fun!! well this is it for today and i'll keep you updated!

p.s. i wanted to ask if the braxton hicks feel like minor period cramps. i've been feeling them like that for about a wk and a half but i've been checking to make sure that i'm not bleeding and what not whcick i'm not and the baby is fine in there.
