Thanks to those of you who have already given me feedback to my last post. I appreciate it! I will be sure to put lots of crib sheets and receiving blankets on the registry. Those are two items I haven't added yet as I'm waiting to find out the gender first. I did put a pack of 12 cloth diapers on the registry earlier as several people had said they are great for spit-up (although I know cloth diapers would be the environmental friendly way to go - I'm planning on going with disposable).
I weighed myself this morning and it's again showing I've gained some weight. Well I guess if I've gained 3 lbs since the BFP and I'm 14w3d pg that's okay. I have to admit I've been super hungry lately again. Normally (pre-pg) I'd eat dinner at say 5pm and never eat anything else until breakfast the next morning. Well sometimes I get hungry again and will make a grilled cheese sandwich or something like that later in the evening as my stomach is growling. I have been trying to eat healthy snacks. For example, last week most days I had three pieces of fruit a day - banana, apple, and pear. I had read somewhere that a good goal (if you are trying to keep your total weight gain to about 20 lbs) was to gain 1/2 lb a week in the 2nd trimester and 1 lb a week in the 3rd tri. In which case I am hoping when I am weighed by the doctor on 2/15 to have only gained 4 lbs since they weighed me last. Oh well I'll do the best I can, but if I am feeling famished, I am going to eat!

One good snack you could try that I loved while pg was a pb and apple sandwich. You slice the apple really thin and it adds a nice crunch and better nutrition (with fewer calories to boot) than jelly. Sometimes I would just make 1/2 a sandwich, and other times a whole, but it usually hit the spot.
I've also heard that it's helpful to pair up fruit with a protein since fruit, even though it's healthy, is mostly sugar and doesn't last long. So having apple and PB would work or fruit with cottage cheese or sliced cheese etc.
