One of my favorite pregnant ladies just sent me this good news! -
“Fit Pregnancy” Magazine (Jan Issue):
It looks like my baby boy is going to be the happiest on the block! If I don't gain a single pound between now and when the baby comes I will have maintained my 'goal weight.' Maybe I will have another bowl of ice cream and tell my doctors to shove it instead.Enjoy Chocolate Daily: Regularly eating chocolate during pregnancy may buffer a fetus from stress and improve his temperament after birth. One study found that pregnant women who ate chocolate every day gave birth to babies that laughed easily, soothed readily and responded well to novelty. the effect may be due to pleasure-producing or stress-relieving properties in chocolate or compounds in it that prevent the breakdown of pressure-producing chemicals in the fetus’s brain. the sweet stuff also reduces the risk of preeclampsia. Dark chocolate is the healthiest and least fattening type.

Just got a gallon-sized carton of dark chocolate covered almonds from costco. I think the goal is for them to last an entire year, but given this newsflash...I'll be lucky if they make it another day in this house! I better eat up. LOVE the name Nash...and that street sign is just the perfect coincidence...its meant to be!!
