Healthy Momma makes Health Baby, right?

I don't know how meals and dinner time go in your house, but at ours, I TRY to plan two weeks of meals every other Saturday when I do my big grocery store trip. I surf the newspaper circulars, look whats on sale, compare to my recipie book, and make my list. I never assign meals to days, but I know that during this week, I have food items to prepair "x" meal.  Now that I'm pregnant and trying to do the best I can at providing nourishment, Im trying to make a more concious effort at these plans.  Thanks to Dr. Google, I have found what "they say" is a recommended amount of calories, proteins, fats, and fiber.   The USDA even has this VERY cool tool that takes your height weight and due date into acocunt, and provides their suggestions. try it here!http://www.choosemyplate.gov/mypyramidmoms/index.html .
