I have a couple good baby books now and I’ve been reading the Mayo Clinic one today. The amount of food I’m supposed to eat seems crazy! There’s a lot of “do no eat” things too.. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so healthy. But I’ve heard healthy eating goes out the window when you start getting sick.… I was reading “Belly Laughs” by Jenny McCarthy and in the last 2 weeks of her pregnancy, she baked a pan of brownies EVERY night and ate the ENTIRE pan at once. I can’t wait 
9 servings of grains/cereals
4 servings veggies
3 servings fruit
3 servings dairy
3 servings meat/eggs
Steve and I started to keep track.. the grains category ends up being the hardest, surprisingly. The V8 Splash drink helps a TON with the veggies and fruits, too bad it’s so expensive and I go through it so quickly!
I started swimming laps today for exercise. I had been running, but it no longer feels that great with all the cramping. Swimming was tough, but relaxing – although, I was tired before I started and now I feel like I could sleep for days. I had no idea I’d be so drained of energy this early on – MAJOR props to all pregnant women who work full time. I also had no idea how often I’d have to pee!! My goodness, it’s annoying.
Steve has been fantastic. He’s constantly making sure I’m eating and drinking enough and asking what I need.
Example: He just brought me two sandwiches and 2 drinks (water and juice). And yes, he expects me to drink and eat all of it. And I just did. I normally can’t even finish one sandwich. I’m going to be FAT! (but really, the 2nd sandwich had bacon on it and I just can’t pass that up).
First doctor appointment is Monday! I can hardly wait!
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO RELEASES EAGLE FORD SHALE HOUSING STUDY RESULTS FEB. 29
US Fed News Service, Including US State News March 1, 2012 SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 29 — The University of Texas at San Antonio issued the following news release:
UTSA researchers will release the results of a long-anticipated housing study on Wednesday, Feb. 29 at the Eagle Ford Shale Consortium Conference, scheduled Feb. 29 to March 2 at the Omni Hotel Colonnade in San Antonio. UTSA College of Architecture lecturer Azza Kamal will present the research, which paints a picture of the housing demands that the western shale region is expected to experience by 2025. site eagle ford shale
The housing study is the third in a series of Eagle Ford Shale region studies offered by UTSA. In February 2011, the UTSA Institute of Economic Development (IED) released its Eagle Ford Shale Economic Impact Report, which provided projections for job growth and income in the Eagle Ford shale area.
Last May, the IED completed a workforce analysis focusing on six western shale counties: La Salle, Zavala, Dimmit, Maverick, Frio and Webb. With funding from the IED Rural Business Program, the UTSA College of Architecture Center for Urban and Regional Planning Research has examined those six counties to identify housing challenges and opportunities. see here eagle ford shale
The presentation of the study kicks off the first day of the Eagle Ford Shale Consortium Inaugural Conference, a working conference titled “Creating a Sustainable Pathway.” The conference, a coöperative effort between local leaders, community stakeholders, and the oil and gas industry in the South Texas Eagle Ford Shale region, aims to produce industry insight, community feedback and expert assessment regarding Eagle Ford Shale challenges and opportunities.
Experts from across the United States will discuss job creation, workforce education and training, housing, national resources, economic and community development, infrastructure, and environmental health and safety. UTSA panelists and presenters will include John Murphy, dean of the UTSA College of Architecture; Les Shephard, director of the Texas Sustainable Energy Research Institute; Thomas Tunstall, director of the IED Center for Business and Community Research, and Kamal. Energy company representatives will be at the conference to discuss the technical aspects of oil and gas drilling and production in the region.
