I read an interesting bit of information today about how eating a lot of protein and drinking a ton of water can help prevent pre-eclampsia (and the resulting early-inducement) (BlueRibbonBaby.com was the site the person was talking about – to be honest, the website puts me off more than a little, it’s very sales-y). Now, I’m not a huge fan of being told all the aweful things that will happen to you if you don’t do things exactly right. However, eating healthy isn’t a bad goal. I already knew I should be eating more protein and drinking more water, so it’s nice to have some suggestions for what to be aiming for.

The nurses keep telling me (throughout my IVF cycle and after my BFP) to drink lots of water! I previously bought these sport bottles of water and I keep refilling them (with bottled water, of cousre – I can’t go near tap water, yuck… yes, I’m a total priss sometimes). I figure I need to drink about 3 of these bottles a day (each bottle has 700 mL). I don’t think that’s too far-fetched really… especially in this heat I’ve been craving water. I’m going to try to keep a bottle of water in the freezer at all times, so I can pull it out and have ice cold water at my side as it melts.

The indigestion last night wasn’t too bad, I was able to fall back asleep after dealing with Zoe. I ate some more of that potato and egg salad and yet again it’s feeling weird sitting in there. I need to stop eating it. I need to make some more hard-boiled eggs though… they are so good! I could easily eat two of them a day. I just have to be careful what form of egg I eat… scrambled eggs taste good, but make me feel like puking on a non-pregnant day. I should look into getting an egg poacher, too. I loved poached eggs on toast!

Damnit now I’m hungry again.
