"THE PREGNANCY JOURNAL"

I love my pregnancy journal! Well, it's called "The Pregnancy Journal" and the wonderful, awesome, godmother of my first born child, Amy Moody got it for me. :-)

It's such an informative journal! I love it! The days are easy to track, and I love being able to record how I'm feeling, what I'm weighing in at on certain days, etc. It'll be really fun to look back on this journal after the baby is born. :-)

Thank you, Amy!!!

Food Facts: To support the baby's production of cartilage and bone tissue, three to four servings of calcium-containing foods will probably satisfy the 1,000 mg daily requirement. In addition to milk and yogurt, other excellent food sources of calcium include cheese (especially Swiss, provolone, and Monterey jack, sardines, salmon, and broccoli."
