$18 copay for ds2 (ear infection)
$18 copay for DH (possible strep)
$10 antibiotics for both
Ugh! We were doing so well too. Granted, it's not much, but it's almost $50 that we won't be putting toward our Roth this month.
I am eating like a maniac. If this keeps up, I might blow the grocery budget too Today's menu:
breakfast:two bowls of Wheaties with strawberries
2nd breakfast: bowl of oatmeal with 1/2 banana
lunch: frozen meal, chicken with potatoes
snack: handful of almonds and cheese stick
2nd snack (about 4 pm is where the willpower breaks down - yesterday it was -gasp- friend Spam on white bread! -which tasted SO good): Doritos/corn chips snack mix
dinner: steak, two piles of mashed potatoes, asparagus
dessert: butterscotch pudding
I said at the beginning of this pregnancy that I would not gain 55 pounds, like I did with my last two..but I'm so hungrrrryyyyyyyy.......I think I need to start exercising or this is going to be disastrous.
Blows to the budget

I just finished an omelette with zucchini, potatoes, and cheese for breakfast...let's see if that hold me over (but if not, I sent my DH on a bagel run yesterday- my first real "craving"!). I tend to eat three good meals with three snacks even when not prego (thanks to my South Beach days), but my meals and snacks now are larger - and more frequent. I do remember eating roughly every two hours with my first two pregnancies. I am trying to hard to eat healthy, but when you're pregnant...sometimes you just have to eat what tastes good...sigh. Thanks for the input! I've got some natural p.b. in the fridge and I can pick up some whole grain bread.
