Good news !!!

I really needed some Good news today and it came in a package.... :) Customer and friend teena from sunny Ca... sent me wasabi... three different kinds all from japan... the real stuff... no dyes... no artificial anything.
I am overjoyed and so appreciative that you guys really read my rant like blogs and care to know about little me on my pregnancy journey.
I cant wait to whip up some yummy stuff with my new wasabi...

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Kona..... almost 16.

Very sad news.... My husbands dalmation that he has had for almost 16 years... is not doing so well. Today alone... I had to carry her in an out to go the bathroom and to her dog bowl... sometimes she stands strong and other time collapses... she has paralysis in her back legs. The vet also says she has a pretty bad heart murmur which could also lead to heart failure..
I have been praying that when she passes it will be in her sleep from her heart... because I know it will be the toughest thing to put her down even if she becomes completely paralyzed and in pain...because how can you do that when your dog is coherent? (sigh).... that is tough. Last night we noticed it looks like she has pus or sores on her back end... Maybe from sleeping all day in the same position? Kinda like people get bed sores? I dont know... very sad.
I know she has lived a long great life... just super sad for Donnie as he had trouble sleeping last night worrying about it and Kona is his Rocky.... and those of you who know, Rocky he passed last year.

Lord give us peace & wisdom in this situation... it is so tough.

Happy Birthday Donnie..

My husband turned 37 ... and we celebrated by going to the waterpark & sushi.. Even though I couldnt have any raw fish... I still ordered massive rolls and went to town on the wasabi.... Yum.... sushi is perfection. Sunday.... we just lolli gagged at the park on a morning train ride and headed to austin... for some lunch over looking beautiful lake travis.... a good weekend for sure.

Its not that easy to get 80 grams.....

I had no idea that a pregnant woman needs to have 80 or more grams of protien a day... comprable to a weight lifter.
this has really blown my mind... and changed my whole diet... grrr. I am realizing that in order to get all the protein I need.. i need to eat some sort of protein in every meal.... not an easy task for someone who dosent eat much meat... or drink milk...
I have to be very purposeful... to get it.

Things I've been eating :
Cottage Cheese
Yogurt
Almonds
almond Butter
beans
protein bars
protein powder
cheese


Cottage Cheese has been a huge help.... as just one cup packs a lot of protein..
Why am I sharing this? well just the way new moms talk about baby poop and stuff... Im pregnant and this is my world right now... making sure I get all that I need for the baby.

ohhh... and bean burritos are a yummy way to get it... ive been eating lots of those... Amys burritos have 10g per burrito. not too shabby.

Oh yum....

My friend Robin is so awesome... she went to whole foods today and brought me some organic Wasabi and Buffalo sauce.
yum...

Towel pocket on back.... with buttons...retro towel wristcuffs... and all recycled flannels... tada!
