Sugarless Mommas and babies 3/21-3/27

Melanie- I think we can arrange for you to visit me and go for a cleaning. ;) Now all the girls at my job want to transfer to my dentist. You ladies have the UPS guys, I have the dentist. Good thing I have good dental insurance...:p

(Raised hand) We also do the pull and pray however when I am ovulating we wrap that baby up regardless! We lucked out this month cause he has that stomach crud so we haven't been near each other since Sunday.

Susan- My ped said I could start whatever I would like first. He gave me the different reasons for starting fruits vs veggies but said it didnt really make a difference. I'm excited and can't wait to hear how Kara likes it. I will start making food when my house is back to normal.
 
Jen- I started fruit first with Haley. Fruit is so sweet and she got a taste of that first then wasnt fond of veggies. Im gonna start with veggies and see if that makes a differnce with Kara
 
Are you ladies giving weeones cereal already? I got our highchairs out. Our girls look like little DOTS in their chairs. LOL They are nowhere near ready to start eating yet. Maybe next month. :)

I have these really neat babyfood making machine that a great friend gave me. :) It'll be so fun to try. You guys get the recipes all figured out for me, K?
 
Melanie-that's so great that the boobies are full! Nice job on the workout and getting your groove back

Jen-ya for the hot dentist! The only hot doctor I had was the dr that delivered Reese...and he had a sexy accent That is the last person I want to look hot! . Very smooth with the ladies too...said I had the flattest post-delivery belly he'd ever seen and when I was complaining about looking like hell for pics, he said I looked great. Yeah, sure I do, doc. I know you say that to all the women you're stitching up.

B- 1/2 banana, 1/2 c steel cut oats
S-cheese stick, 8ish almonds
L-1 c pasta (ww rotini w/sauce and lean grd turkey), huge lettuce salad w/ light rasp vinagrette
S-1/2 luna bar (all I hadin my pursewhen I was starving at the mall), apple, 8ish almonds
D-lentil taco (w/ ww tortilla), carrots
 
mel I started a tiny bit of cereal 2 nights ago. K has been very interested when we are eating so I thought I would give it a try since she was about 6 months. She didnt spit out one bit and loved it...she is def ready. I mix 1 T of ceral with 5 T of breast milk and she probaby eats 1/4 of it...im not rushing it
 
Lisa- That is funny what you say about your hot dr cause us ladies at work were saying that is the one dr that we did not want to look hot. :D Mine had a nice latin accent, like South American or something. I am a sucker for foreign accents! :p

Susan- I was thinking of trying either peas or sweet potatoes first. I heard that about the fruit vs veggies too.

I can't post my menu cause its not too good. I ate pretzels...:( and will probably eat more choc pb teddy bears. :confused: But yours looks great Lisa! I'll jump back on the bandwagon soon. :)
 
Susan, i usually start solids around 6 months too. I didn't think you were starting too early....I"m amazed at how far behind my preemie's are. Madalynn rolls one way, Myranda isn't rolling over at all yet. They do hold their heads steady...but show no interest in food whatsoever (except my boobies). I don't mind keeping them little. :)

Lisa, great job on eating. Have you plugged it away on a nutrition calorie counter? Remember you burn 500 or so calories/day bfing. If you like milk, I'd recommened tagging two servings of skim milk on. Milk is an excellent source of protein & calcium. Protein will help with your lean muscle (esp after exercise). Almonds are awesome too. Do you like smoothies? What's a "lentil taco?" Are those that rice looking grain/noodle thingie? What was your workout today again? I hope you don't think I"m being nosey. I want you to break through this darn plateu you've hit!
 
Lentil tacos are yum! I put it in a ww tortilla with a side of sour cream and mexican rice! I will have it it a pita for lunch tomorrow. Dh is a meat man..he and Haley had beef and chicken fajitas.
bb gotta clean up kithcen
 
Hi. Chatty chatty! Missed you all! Jen , I want to go to your dentist!!!
Will bbl for personals just stopping in to say hi real quick, no naps and two caranky boogers.
 
Welcome back, Christine! No naps? Not even in the car? Woozers.

Okay, just got back from the liquiour store. got mike's hard lemonade (it's a malt beverage) and a Bud Lite w/Lime. Wish me luck. I'm thinking 6-12 of these should boost my milk production just fine. :confused:
 
I like Mike's hard lemonade! 6-12 beers tonight??? Whoa girl!! Slow down there! ;)

Ok so here's my menu:

B;egg beaters, eng muff, banana, coffee
s: kelloggs peanut butter fiber one bar
l: ww pasta, veg leftovers from other night, yogurt
s: cottage cheese, pretzels
d: grilled cheese (ww bread) 50% less sodium tater chips and 3 choc pb teddy bears.

So there.... :p Actually now that I see it, not too horrible just no fruits and veggies. I have a training tomorrow so we will be eating out for lunch. Hope I can do fairly good.

Christine- I can't imagine how John is with no naps!! James is HORRIBLE if he misses ONE of his naps. Kudos to you momma! Have any Benadryl???? ;)

Ok off to try to put James down. I am in training tomorrow and have no internet access unless I borrow my co workers phone. I will miss you all! Don't have too much fun without me!

5 mile tempo run. Not nearly enough water or veggies. Lots of snacking today

My Dad gets results from PET and CT Scans tomorrow. This is a big day. The results will determine if he will continue tx or discontinue. If he continues, he will need a feeding tube b/c he can't eat/drink at all with his regimen. I might need to go visit him again very soon. He's lost 30lbs this month alone. :( Urgh. Please keep him & my family in your prayers.
 
Melanie-I was looking over the cookie recipe. There is no mention on oats in the ingredients but says to "add oats" in the directions???
Jen-we'll miss you tomorrow! Wish my bad eating day was a great as yours..geez girl!

Melanie-thanks! Oh, where can I get brewers yeast? I have seen it around..but can't remember where. I will keep your dad in my prayers!!!
Im headed to bed..just now got Kara down at 10.
 
Whew, tough day. John needed to poop and waited till 4:30pm to do it. I ran out of probiotics a few days ago. Bad me. All stocked up now! Jimmy did not nap either.
I am not a meal poster because I eat a ton in comparison! You are all so responsible. I got attacked by tootsie rolls tonight. I bought a lot of fruit today. I love living near so much agriculture. Jimmy and I made berry parfaits. Mmmm. I pack my hubby his breafast lunch and snacks each day. Tomorrow he gets cantaloupe , a peanut Lara bar, a fiberful tjs fruit bar, peanut butter and honey on double fiber bread, strawberry blackberry honey and flax parfait and string cheese. Now why in the heck do I not eat that?
I had string cheese, double fiber toast, two cups coffee and milk, chicken, cucumbers, sweet potato chips, almonds, chicken brown rice asparagus, glass of red wine. Oh, and the tootsie rolls. 10 minis? I just remembered about the twix. Pms is in the house.
Went for a 5 mile run, 2 mile wall while Jimmy biked and John screamed so I carried him. Did step boxing and cathe hiit 40/20 whenever I could get the kids calm.
So many of you may have mixed or neg feelings about the healthcare bill, but it just bought us a huge sigh of relief. Huge.
Melanie- hoping for only the best for your dad. Love mikes lemonade. Bud not so much. Corona with a fresh lime? Or pyramid hefewessen with a slice of lemon? Mmmmm.
Jen- how is dh? Did you get your workout? I hope you are okay. So hard to juggle it all. Biggest loser is on!
Lisa- your commentt about the ob cracked me up. Do not get down about weight. You are so slim. I did not gain much over my pregnancy and got real bummed when I lost little weight. No kidding. Ate less , exercised. Then twelve weeks came and my hormones regulated and it got better. It is possible that you might need more calories with nutrsing.... I am here for you!
Susan- isn't that the pits when they grab a late nap? John used to do that and we would have rough nights. Hope that does not happen to you!
Priscilla- hope you and Daniel have a great night!

K did good..got up at 5 and is still alseep.
Christine-your eats sound great..even with the toosies and twix! My dh would never eat the great stuff you pack for yours! Hope John and Jimmy slept for you!
Today is disk 11
