I really wish pregnancy was more enjoyable for me. Of course, I enjoy feeling the baby move and the idea of having a little one to hold in a short time from now, but still, its hard. I can empathize with you on how hard it is to rest with little ones! Mine don't understand at all, but that is to be expected. I'm glad to hear you are getting help, though!

I always try to have enough food in case they show up & then we have leftovers if they don't! That's the best I can do with the situation. I have tried & tried to find another way but nothing else works. But it makes planning impossible.<br /><br />My husband does cook, usually on the weekends these days. And he always makes these really elaborate lunches. I guess it's the way I was brought up, but for me I like to keep lunch simple & save the more elaborate stuff for dinners. For me personally lunch is usually a sandwich (grilled cheese, tuna, egg salad, something like that) or a wrap, or a quesadilla or burrito.Frau Guten Taghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653229285252138595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510134897232881844.post-18305400968413433322011-03-15T12:41:37.274-07:002011-03-15T12:41:37.274-07:00Lunch is also my nemesis.

Dirk comes home for lunch almost every day so there's even more pressure to have something good to eat. <br /><br />One thing we eat a lot of is baked potatoes. I always keep frozen chopped broccoli or broccoli florets in the house. I just cook that up really quick, pop the potatoes in the mic (or oven if I have planned ahead), then split them open, load them with cheese and broccoli. I've also found that instead of putting butter in it you can put a little milk and it helps create a creamy texture without the added salt and fat. Also, Trader Joes frozen brown rice is a life saver. Cook it in the mic for three minutes then you can add cooked frozen veggies and/or chicken and teriyaki, or broccoli and cheese, etc.<br /><br />I seriously do hate doing lunches though, especially for Kenzie.<br /><br />I saw a recipe for the other day for banana dog bites that Adah might like. <br /><br />http://weelicious.com/2011/02/16/banana-dog-bites/<br /><br />Keep us updated if you find other great things. :)Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112782232500451067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510134897232881844.post-8255099980137431982011-03-14T16:37:26.103-07:002011-03-14T16:37:26.103-07:00I love egg salad and Chicken salad.

It's so yummy! Also I bought a steamer basket (it looks like it's made out of wood or bamboo), it makes steaming veggies so quick and easy. You just set it over some boiling water and let it steam for about 10 mins or however long until the veggies are tender and you can do anything with them. It's easy and healthy! :-)Sweet Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945446658948923134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510134897232881844.post-92163002435773833142011-03-14T16:13:07.138-07:002011-03-14T16:13:07.138-07:00I have the same problem!

And I even ...I know how all that monitoring feels. And I even think I know which Dr.'s office you are talking about. I think he's the only Dr. around that does that type of monitoring. I had to do NST twice a week my whole third trimester, too, because I have fibroids (which I didn't know made me high risk until a few weeks before delivery). While some of the other patients can get on your nerves and many significant others look like trouble, I actually found the NSTs to be relaxing. It was the one time I could just rest. You just lay there reclined in a comfy chair for a least fifteen minutes; I lot of times I would fall alseep. And you get a quick ultrasound. I have so many little pictures of Faith from those visits. It was a blessing in disguise. So enjoy it. Once you get out of that waiting room, it is really relaxing.

Our family attends Harvest, and I attend the women's study, and am so blessed when your mom teachers. Anyway, I hope you don't think this totally weird, but I wanted to encourage you and tell you I'd be praying for you as well. Your blog really convicted me in a sense, and I really felt pressed to pray for you because I am going through a similar situation. Back in August, I miscarried what would have been our 3rd child. In Nov., on my daughther's 3rd birthday, I found out I was expecting again. Needless to say, the fear is there, and I have really felt like I have been letting the past really rob the joy the Lord's given me with this pregnancy. Your post really put things into perspective for me, and I want to thank you and tell you, you're not alone, and I will be praying for you. Sometimes we never know why certain trials come and the form they come in, but one thing I know for sure, and other ladies in my group have encouraged me with is that God is trying to teach us something through these trial. Please be encouraged and know you have another person praying for you. :)Mommy of Three!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11771266732015461935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510134897232881844.post-84489535919172445862011-01-20T19:40:16.079-08:002011-01-20T19:40:16.079-08:00I know the anxiety you are experiencing for so man...I know the anxiety you are experiencing for so many reasons. I used to suffer from so much worry and anxiety early in my Christian walk, it caused physical illness. Then when you get pregnant, there is so much on your mind. I too suffered from "white coat syndrome" with Harper. And I was terrified of my second pregnancy turning out like the first. (We're so similar!) Still today when I let my mind get away from me, I feel it sneaking in.<br />You will be in my prayers, and please continue to try to stay calm to keep that BP down! <br />Take care.The Hanes Famhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579479353997843893noreply@blogger.com
