***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

[luckyme225]

I always have shortness of breath when moving around. Makes me feel even bigger. I had pizza last night for dinner, so that made me happy lol. I was already asked what was for dinner tonight and I'm pretty sure the answer was something along the lines of kiss my ass. Of course my husband decides to start getting a cold when I'm due any time now. It would be one thing if it was full blown now but it's only just starting. Talk about perfect timing. Getting light headed... guess it's time to eat more calories.

So i've just made super fudgey brownies... smells so good in house just waiting for them to be done.

 

[Psycow]

YUM! Sounds good Hopeful

 

[luckyme225]

F... I want some brownies!!!!! Sounds amazing with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge syrup.

 

[hopefulmama]

how is it possible i made super fudgy brownies and they came out cakey? i don't get it. I used same recipe as always cooked same amount of time yet they are completely different. I just wanted a chewy brown with a crispy top with some vanilla ice cream. now its like chocloate cake w/no frosting and icecream. assholes

 

[luckyme225]

Do you have any chocolate frosting on hand? I would layer some on top.

 

[hopefulmama]

HAHA i actually do, and vanilla too, in the door of my fridge i keep some for 'emergencies' aka late night spoonfuls.. i guess this a serious dessert emergency.

 

[hopefulmama]

It just sucks cuz u know when u have your heart set on something and u make it or get it and its not what you wanted.. still good just not what you wanted.

 

[luckyme225]

yeah I have some banana bread in the oven and I didn't have "one egg" so it will be interesting how it turns out haha. Sure it will be fine though. I really wanted sweets since I heard about your brownies and I have nothing awesome on hand for cookies or anything. I really love banana bread with some butter on it though. I'm really going to miss eating bad, enjoying every second of it now.

Me and hubby are going off carbs but brown rice once baby is born cause i can't do it alone, so i made him all this food with me and i will make him starve with me... so this week is our carb overload, fries, pizza, pasta, bread etc... then DONE.. we specifically didn't buy more bread at store and we bought 3 lb of brown rice... i love banana bread, just don't like it with nuts.. sometimes when i make it i'll let some butter sit out for awhile and then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar and mash it up then put it in foil and put in fridge til bread is warm and it melts in... so yummy

 

[luckyme225]

I don't put nuts in when I make it. We will just be eating smarter and more boring. Our house will be stocked with almonds, fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, whole grain pasta and brown rice. I'm sure dinner will be chicken (yawn) and brown rice on most nice. My husband couldn't be more excited, he is such a health nut and loves eating healthy/ working out. I'm totally bummed though but at least I have him to give me a good smack on the hand if I try falling off the bandwagon.

Congrats Bizy

No post baby diet here, I need all the calories going just to push my monster of a stroller Man I want a fudge brownie! Only carrot cake here, Boo!

 

[luckyme225]

Yum, i want some carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

 

[Wiggler]

Cake is a real luxury here, I don't really bother making/buying it often cos me and OH never get any, piggy porky eats it all Eeek, just realised, this time next year I will have 2 of them stealing my sweets!

 

[hopefulmama]

I really love peppers and broccoli and grilled chicken and can live off them and also apples.. so as long as i pre cut them in the AM everyday and put them in ziploc to grab when i want a snack i'm good. Before pregnancy i ate about 800 calories MAX a day and maybe like 200-300 calories of wine 5 days a week... so id average between 800-1100 calories a day.. i really didn't eat a lot at all, i'd rather get the calories from wine vs food haha. I know i have to keep my calorie intake at like 1400-1600 when BFing but with healthy calories, and i will def be enjoying my white wine right when i get home from hospital. Its going to be food shock to go from being this glutenous pig back to healthy calorie counter. All worth it though. As long as i have one day a week where i eat one treat.

Mummy- i love carrot cake, not i want that!

 

[luckyme225]

I'll probably stay away from most veggies, except cucumbers and lettuce. Connor was a gas machine so I'm sure I'm going to have to watch what I eat with Liam too.

 

[lisaf]

yikes, you girls are making me crave sweets

hopeful - I didn't have any sweating.. I did have massive pees... but I was shocked by how much my feet/legs swelled .. way more than they did during the pregnancy. The swelling wouldn't go down either until I had DH start to massage my feet every night. Now I can almost fit my feet back into my flip-flops
My feet did kind of sweat buckets when I walked around, but that seemed more related to the swelling etc.

 

[mummy3]

Hopeful,you need to aim for 1800 cals min when bfing. How do you survive on 800? Lol at the wine

Lisa, Daniels pic is adorable
