Almost 19 weeks

I hate to say that I'm 18 weeks pregnant when I will be 19 weeks on Sunday. Close enough right? It's hard to say if there is anything different with this pregnancy compared to Quinn's because they both have been pretty easy. The biggest difference with this one is that I want vegetables. I made creamed cucumbers the other day and ate them all by myself (not just because I'm pregnant. I would've shared but Chris doesn't like them). Their vinegary chilled goodness hit the spot.

My plan to avoid gaining unnecessary weight is to walk most days of the week, weather and Quinn permitting. That is what I did with Quinn and it seemed to work. When I say I go for walks I don't mean a twenty minute jaunt around the block. We are out for almost an hour and I always include a steep hill or two to get my heart pumping. Otherwise I don't see the point in going.

As far as eating goes, I don't restrict what I eat, but I don't go crazy just because I'm pregnant. I pretty much eat normal. My rule of thumb for my diet is very little to no pop or juice and rarely, rarely eat fast food, like burgers and fries type of fast food. I mostly eat homemade meals and treats. To me, that is the only way to go.
