Hopefully I won't grow too accustomed to all this fast food, so that I will eventually be able to lose the 75-100 lbs I am in the process of gaining!!
Quick update on me and the babies:
I am 20.5 weeks now and so far both me and the babies are still doing great! I have started using a home contraction monitor twice a day for an hour. The device counts my contractions and then sends the data via the phone lines to a group of nurses who call me and tell me how well I did. (Isn't modern technology amazing?) So far my average number of contractions per hour has been 0.64. The doctor said that as long as my average stays under 3.5 for the week, they won't have to intervene with drugs. I have another doctors appointment on Monday, so I should know more after that!

That's so incredible. I can't imagine that paradigm shift in a simple diet change. Have fun and good luck with these following weeks.

Whoa! 910 calories in one shake?!
Good luck with eating the 'junk' food. I am sure that chasing after 5 babies and two children will help you lose those extra pounds!!
I am praying for you and your family. May Heavenly Father watch over you all.
is the junk making you sick to your stomach at all? are you hungry? i have no appetite and feel horrible after i eat all that nasty stuff! good to know about that oreo shake! i've got to try that one! ;) so glad the babies are doing great!!
this is such an exciting time-i am praying for you and your family. i am just wondering if it is possible to increase your caloric intake in a way that is healthy? it seems that it can't be good for you or the lives you are supporting to be eating all this junk? what about a more natural diet including nuts, avocado, whole grains, rich animal protein and plenty of fruits and veggies????please let me know why you are opting for all the "junk" food.
