Dear Angie,
So last week, I sort of encouraged you to eat stuff they say you shouldn't. Yes, I know. I am a total rebel. This week, my advice on what you should not eat: Do not eat things that translate to the words "little piggy."
Yes, I learned this the hard way. When I was preggo with Noah, I was obsessed with Taco Bell's gorditas. I LOVED them. I would walk blocks and blocks out of my way to pick me up the meal deal: (it makes me cringe to write it out) not one, but TWO gorditas, a soft shell taco, and 16 ounces of soda. ACK! It was years later when someone told me that gordita means "little piggy" in Spanish. No wonder I gained...drumroll...55 pounds, ladies and gentlemen!
So even though I am sure you will have picture perfect weight gain, if you have a bad month, do not panic! Just think to yourself, "At least I am not a little piggy."
Love, Julie
And now all I can think about is a Cheesy Gordita Crunch from Taco Bell. Joel has yet to be sent on a "craving" field trip...maybe tonight is the night! So far the weight gain has been on track, but I don't know, I feel pretty big today. I call my monthly checkups my "weigh in". I feel like all they do is weigh me, take my blood pressure, push on my belly, and then listen to the baby's heart beat (which actually makes the whole thing worth it)!
