First Trimester Genetic Screening Blood Work


Today I ran some errands.  Went to the bank to deposit all our coin rolls and get some laundry quarters.  Then I went to get my first trimester genetic screening blood work done.  I was preparing for them to take a lot of blood so I ate two eggs with toast this morning but to my surprise they only took one small vile of blood.  I felt fine afterward, went home, ate lunch and took a nap.  After my nap I went grocery shopping.  I was craving corndogs, salad, hot chocolate, milk and ice cream sandwiches.  So I got all the things.  I read that hotdogs and deli meats are fine to eat as long as they are steaming hot as the heat kills the harmful bacteria.  Originally I was planning to avoid hotdogs my whole pregnancy but I really wanted a corndog.  It would have been good but there was something a little spicy in it that I didn't like. 

I have to admit I’m not having the healthiest of eating habits.  Besides pizza and an occasional ice cream I almost never buy anything frozen.  My freezer is always empty except for pizzas and ice cream once in a while.  I was craving a chicken pot pie last week so I got some frozen Marie Calendar’s pot pies.  I’m still having trouble eating meat so I got some frozen chicken patties since I seem to enjoy eating chicken sandwiches from Wendy’s and Burger King.  Plus, now corndogs.  Usually Joe and I always buy whole fresh ingredients but I really haven’t felt like cooking much and don’t really want to eat any meat.  I’m even eating some canned things.  I got canned meat ravioli’s which I have not eaten in over a decade, canned clam chowder which I do eat occasionally and boxed macaroni and cheese.  I still do enjoy boxed mac and cheese but I make it very rarely.  Since I’m having so much trouble drinking water, I’ve been buying juices.  I get the organic stuff free from corn syrup but it still has a lot of sugar in it.  Still, I am mostly craving fruits and vegetables so I do eat a lot of those.
