If I could get off my couch or bed, I would be thrilled.
Good news on my aunt, she's dong okay. Three months to recover, but okay.
Darling Theresa had a beautiful baby boy on Wednesday. I went to the hospital Wednesday and Thursday. I don't think I'm going to make it today though. He's so beautiful! Cash Joseph Norcross. I'm sure pictures are to come shortly.
I had a horrible dream last night. I woke up hysterical and had to call my mom to make sure my sister was okay. When I woke up again I had a migrane that still hasn't completely gone away.
I hate calling in. I feel like such a failure -- I just couldn't get there today. I wish I could make it up tomorrow, but my company doesn't allow "overtime", which meaning no weekends and no working past 6pm. So I guess I'm just out the day.
So the time I've been awake has been time I've cleaned my living room windows and otherwise warmed the couch watching Lifetime movies and getting choked up -- pregnant women shouldn't watch Lifetime.
Anyone know a good way to get me to eat more protein? I just never have a taste for meat. I'm trying, I just can't do it. As it is I have to force myself to eat, but I am worried that I don't get enough protein. Someone come take me to get chicken wings!

What a cool blog!!! I love the widget where we can see your baby-in-progress -- congrats!!!
I know what it's like to have those realistic dreams -- they scare the heck outta me.
As for protein...do you like beans? They are an incredible source of protein. I love them, especially in a ten-bean soup or something like that. Otherwise, it's the old eggs, cheese, etc. route!
Here from Michele's!
P.S. Your site won't let me sign in under my new blogsite, so the link I'm leaving here will be a dead link. YOu can find me via Michele, though!!!
Here from Michele's today....Almonds or Almond Butter..Protein...There are legumes that are protien, (Can't think of one, at the moment, except Lentils....It doesn't have to be "meat"...How about Eggs?
Eggs, fish, nuts, yogurt, cheese are all complete proteins. I carry peanutbutter balls with honey, oatmeal, and chocolate chips around with me for survival food. Michele told me to come over.
All the above had good advice.
Michele sent me here.
Michele sent me to let you know that all of those above have some good ideas on the protein --- tofu is another good way to get bean protein:
especially if you like oriental soups!
And if your body is needing animal proteins, you're going to know: after all, isn't that what all the cravings are about?
Good luck,
N.
There are also protein shakes (Ensure has a decent amount and other nutrients) and protein water, but the suggestions above sound better and healthier.
I couldn't eat meat first pregnancy either. I, however, like tofu and beans also. And nuts!
sorry your health hasn't been so good...
