Re: ***GD Thursday Check In***
Questionof the Day: What do you do tode-stress? Take care of yourself?
Read, play on the computer, watch tv, take a long hot shower.
Menu: Partytime- We both have GD- I am coming over for dinner- what would you make (ororder) me and your other NON GD guests
You could do pizza and then get a salad with grilled chicken for yourself and maybe have one piece of pizza.
You could make chicken and veggies and a potato- you can have half a sweet potato.
Questionof the Day: What do you do tode-stress? Take care of yourself?
Now that the weather is finally getting nice down south, I've been taking walks or working in the yard. Also, reading, bumping, and watching my soap opera on TiVo!
Menu: Partytime- We both have GD- I am coming over for dinner- what would you make (ororder) me and your other NON GD guests?
Well, mexican is always a good option, plus it's easy. But if DH is volunteering to cook, it'll be dijon chicken with cauliflower au gratin and roasted asparagus. He's an awesome cook and he's come up with all kinds of GD friendly recipes, love that man!
We had an NST yesterday and LO is looking great. I've dropped about 10 lbs which is shocking but at least I'll have less to lose once the baby is born. We have a growth u/s next Wed. Down to 12 days!
Questionof the Day: What do you do tode-stress? Take care of yourself? Watch tv or movies, play on the computer
Menu: Partytime- We both have GD- I am coming over for dinner- what would you make (ororder) me and your other NON GD guests. London broil, salad, asparagus, small baked potatoes.
Update: Had an ultrasound Tuesday. He is measuring 2 weeks ahead. He has been to the day till now. Even DS was exactly on. I have to keep reminding myself that every baby is different and those sizes could be off. Lost 4 lbs since my last appt. OB wants me to increase my calories even if my numbers go up.
QOTD: I took a bath yesterday. It was heavenly.
Menu: I hate cooking. Papa Murphy's chicken, bacon, artichoke delite pizza and a salad.
Questionof the Day: What do you do to de-stress? Take care of yourself?
The other night I pampered myself with a home-done mani/pedi. It felt delicious - especially on my puffy feet. Even though I did it myself, I still felt better afterward.
To de-stress I usually try to slow down and give myself some time just to sit by DH and watch useless TV. It's a waste of my brain but it gives me time to hang out with him and ignore my "to-do" list. It's a little treat I give myself every day.
Menu: Partytime- We both have GD- I am coming over for dinner- what would you make (or order) me and your other NON GD guests?
I'd throw a pot roast in the trusty Crock Pot. I can supplement that with potatoes, carrots, celery, onions. And we could have salad on the side.
I would watch how many potatoes, etc. I consume. Other than that, it's a free-for-all on the meat and salad!
