Dried Apricots
I am munching on dried apricots right now. I freakin love these things. In addition to their colon happy effects, they taste GREAT, have a cool texture, and are high in vitamin A and Iron. I have been trying to avoid all of the Haloween candy that is still (for some reason) lingering around my house (ARGH!)... and the apricots make for a nice sweet snack that has at least SOME nutritional value.
My challenge lately has been in the water drinking arena. I need to be drinking at least 4-5 litres a day and I'm getting 2.5-3. My blood volume is expanding by up to 100% so I need the fluids to support that, but dangit all if I can suck it down fast enough. I think I may start having a pint immediately uppon waking... that will help a bit I'm sure.
I'm loving how big my uterus is already - usually around week 20 the fundus reaches the belly-button but mine (at 13 weeks) is already there. I was able to hear both babies with the dopler last night - Baby A was at 153bpm and Baby B was at 144. I'm doing well, they're doing well and hopefully things will be uneventful from here on out (I know I know... but I don't believe in jynxes)

Sounds like things are going great! And hey, dried apricots are very tasty, and since it can be fairly easy to eat quite a few, maybe it can help with upping your calories! Good luck on the water drinking. I think starting early is probably a good plan.
