Though it may seem insignificant to you, these x's represent a lot of effort over the past week. Every single box checked off every single day... minus the optional liver, which I just couldn't do (still committed to trying, eventually). I call that Brewer Diet SUCCESS. Go me.
With a full week's perspective (nearly 10 days now), I can tell you that the whole grains category is one of the hardest for me to hit-- we're just not big grain eaters in the Denson household. Our default dinner has always been a meat, a vegetable, and a salad. The potato is something else I struggle with. Blech. Potatoes are ok, but not every day.
The milk is not a problem-- I can drink half a gallon a day with relative ease (we have 4 gallons in the fridge right now-- it's quite a sight; also 3 cups on the desk right in front of me). I end up using other dairy (greek yogurt, cottage cheese) as some of my protein choices, so we are certainly not short on calcium. Protein is fine as long as I plan on it-- protein-rich lunch and dinner and at least one protein snack.
Really not sure any of this will be evident at the growth scan on Wednesday, but it would be cool to see them climb the growth percentiles (although they were all perfectly wonderful last time).
Continuing the heartbeat checks every other day or so and they're all always just fine. Strong babies. A is having a crazy active day today. Or maybe he's dancing with B-- can't really tell. C is quiet, per his usual. He really just likes the dentist's office.
