Better Than An Oreo...

These chocolate covered creme filled cookies are in the Newman's Own Organics give-a-way box that you can sign up here for. We had some guests over tonight who said they already knew about these cookies and preferred them to Oreo cookies.

Newman's Own Organics also had ginger covered creme filled cookies...

chocolate covered chocolate filled cookies and chocolate covered peppermint filled cookies.

However, as you can see the most popular cookie was the chocolate covered cream filled cookie.

We don't normally give our kids these kinds of treats.

I was in the kitchen when I looked out and saw that they

had discovered something about these cookies.

You can pull them apart...

And then lick off the cream.

Of course that's just a kid thing...

None of my followers actually do that sort of thing

Right?

Hi, folks!

Sorry I've been MIA on everyone's blogs lately. Will soon remedy that.

Have just been very busy lately

Have been very tired lately

Have been taking naps lately

Because I had to quit coffee

Because it made me want to gag.

--------------------------------

I ate some of that Newman's Own Organic Popcorn

with their organic olive oil tonight....Hmm, mmm

Did you know there's 330 calories in the whole bag?

And with the olive oil? Probably a few hundred more.

But, honestly, today I just am not eating much.

(except the popcorn, of course)

I get full really fast, and then I don't feel like eating

for hours and hours.

I really had to push to get my fried egg whites

down my throat this morning.

-------------------------------------
Other than that, my weight has went up

about 1 1/2 to 2 pound since I got pregnant

They say that is normal for eight weeks along.

But I don't think that is a necessary weight gain,

So, I would like to have that weight drop back down.

My weight goal for my first trimester would be to remain the same weight.

They say a three to four pound gain is normal

by the end of the first trimester.

That's not a whole lot of weight to gain;

So, I think remaining the same weight

is possible and healthy.

In the research that I've done,

It is not necessary for a woman to eat any extra calories

in the first trimester.

The baby will just take what it needs from mama's body.

And it makes sense,

Because many women experience nausea,

will throw up, and can't eat much...

It's the second trimester when a women should

increase her calories by 200 to 300 calories.

--------------------------------------
Here's a little interesting fact about me.

In all of my other pregnancies,

I would always gain

20 pounds

In the first trimester.

Things are going to be different this time around.

I'll be visiting you all soon!

Have a nice night!

Sincerely,

Sunshine Mama
