Healthy Snacks

May 7, 2010 by Aliesha

Lately in my pregnancy, I’ve been feeling hungry almost ALL the time! I’m trying to drink more water and cut back on sugary foods (which just leave me hungrier). Eating healthy snacks between meals can keep your blood sugar levels where they need to be and prevent you from overeating at meals.

I’ve compiled a list of good, healthy snacks as a reminder to myself πŸ™‚ and to share with you all as well. Feel free to comment with some of your favorite snacks… for during pregnancy or otherwise!

Healthy Snacks

Weight Watcher’s yogurt cup (I usually eat half)
non-fat vanilla yogurt
banana
other fruit (clementine, apple, strawberries, etc.)
fruit salad
raisins or craisins (but watch, as these can be high in sugar)
hard-cooked egg
cheese and crackers (I like Wheat Thins Toasted Chips)
small amount of peanuts or a handful of almonds
wheat bread with local honey
half of a pb&j sandwich
homemade granola
salsa with veggies or a small amount of tortilla chips
fresh veggies with a light dressing
small tossed salad
smoothie made with frozen fruit
whole-grain muffin

So what healthy foods do you like to munch on?

Nursery Project: White Frames

May 7, 2010 by Aliesha

I created some art for our nursery for only $3! I bought frames from the dollar store ($1 each), painted them white (craft paint & brush, already on hand), and used fabric scraps from previous nursery projects to fill them with pops of color! I’m really pleased with how cute they turned out.

Want to see how our nursery is progressing? Check out our previous posts on the fabric birds, cloth cube, bunting banner, and light switch cover that I made.

Week Twenty-Six

April 30, 2010 by Aliesha

Click here to view last week’s photo. Click here to see my wearing this same shirt two months ago!

I am continuing to enjoy the second trimester, and I am realizing how quickly it is speeding by! I’ll be into the third before I know it.

I have a huge appetite right now, and it feels like no matter how much I eat at a meal I am hungry again 90 minutes later! It’s okay, though, because I love eating. πŸ™‚

Baby girl continues to be active, though some days she is more active than others (though it could be that I just notice it more some days).

I think she weighs about 2 pounds now! Her eyelids (which have been closed to allow the retina to develop) will be opening soon.

I have a check-up on Thursday which will test for Gestational Diabetes and make sure everything else is okay. Praying that all is well!
