What I wouldn't do for a....

Sigh

I won't even have a virgin, because what's the point without Jose you know? There's always next year. Oh wait, I want to breastfeed, boooo! Oh the things we must give up for our babies. Someone out there please enjoy a big one for me :-)

Last night hubs and I went to our first Bradley class and met two other couples. Out of the two couples, we're the only ones expecting a boy. It was a great class and I can tell we're going to learn A LOT. We talked about what doulas are, the medical model vs the midwifery model, the decision making team (for birth time), and nutrition.

My assignment starts today and I have to track my food to make sure I'm getting between 80-100g of protein a DAY. Not easy, because a while back I was tracking and I was just above 60 if that. Since then, I've started having more protein heavy foods though, so hopefully I will get a high number. I believe we're going to be tracking from now until we deliver.

We were also asked to take home a book from her collection and I chose this one

It's one I've been wanting to read and we're going to be discussing a lot from this book too.
The class lasted almost 2 1/2 hours. Next week we're going to be doing Yoga and talking about exercise. I wonder if the husbands will have to participate, lol.

I did want to update on our menu for this week. The chicken schnitzels we're not that great. Last night, I made the Chinese style lemon chicken and I thought that was pretty good. Justin liked it too so it might be a keeper. It was a little too time consuming though. Tonight is supposed to be chicken korma, but seeing that it's Thursday (Vampire Diaries night), hubs wants something simple (hot dogs and mac n cheese). I don't know what I'm having yet :-P

Can I just add that in the past 2 weeks baby D has been kicking up a storm. He's my little jumping bean. He's also making me buy some new maternity clothes because one pair of jeans are too uncomfortable to sit indian style in anymore. I made a dash to Target the other day and bought some khakis. Now, I need some more tops, because mind are getting too short. I don't know why, but I don't enjoy spending money on clothes. Maybe because we're trying to be frugal.

All right, gotta go figure out the latest grocery store bargains to pair up with my coupons!
