We had our first childbirth class on Monday night. The most fascinating thing we learned is that a pregnant woman burns 18 to 20,000 calories while giving birth. When we got home we asked Joel how many he thought a person burns while running a marathon. "Not that many, I don't think," he said.
Our instructor told us, "Ladies...this is your Olympic event."
Aaaaaaaaahhh!!!

Well, if ever there was an excuse/reason to "eat hearty", guess this would be it! SO what IS your favorite food/craving these days, Em?
That's crazy. My sister did say that right after she had her first babe all she could think of was how much she could use a Powerade right then and there. This seems justifiable if you have just run a marathon, yeah?
Mainly I crave cold cereal. But then it was also my favorite snack before pregnancy. I went from one bowl a day to three though after getting preggers. Gotta get those whole grains!
