if i didn't remind you already, and if i you didn't see conehead's blog...

today is definitely free ice cream day.

there's another free ice cream day tomorrow, too, if you forget to go today.

there's something about the promise of free ice cream that makes the day so much better. ice cream in itself is great...especially when it is served to you. and FREE! free is GREAT.

it's really funny because i'm not really that big on ice cream (um, unless it's on a warm brownie or chocolate chip cookie and then you've found my weakness)...at least not before the baby. and NOW...oh my gosh...ice cream, milkshakes...for like 2 months i ate so much ice cream. i gained soooo much weight in 6 weeks....enough to evoke a "whoa! you gained a lot since the last appointment!" from the doctor. wow...that was a little humbling. it's funny that people think that you can eat whatever you want when you're pregnant....so not true. i mean, you definitely eat a little more and more often...but more healthy stuff (fruit, veggies, lots of water) is definitely encouraged. they even have a pregnancy diet so that you get all the nutrients that the baby needs. it's like a list that a dietician would give you if you were to go on a diet to lose weight...and in case anyone cared, the target weight gain for the average pregnancy is between 25 and 35 pounds.

i just realized that my last few posts have been about food. *sigh*
