Well I figured out the problem with my comments.  I now have it set up so everyone can read them and comment!  YEAH! I had my midwife appointment today and I measuring at least 5cm more than I should and have gained 3 more pounds than they would have liked.  She says its all baby, there was no water retention.    So I have been put on a 80/80 diet.  Meaning no more than 80grams of carbs. and at least 80 grams of protein.  Yep, South Beach for pregnant women.  LOL.   If I continue this kind of growth, I will probably have to go in for an ultrasound to see if it is twins.  Next appointment is in two weeks.  Any South Beach diet type recipes welcome.  Our injured chicken is now almost fully outside.  We went for a day trip down to beautiful Elk Neck, MD.  We had left here in the coop all day (the other chickens were outside the coop, but could get in if they really wanted to.  We came home and my dd came inside from checking on the chicken saying "Dandy is missing?"  .   Well it turns out that she had gotten out of the coop and went to roost with the others.  They still wont accept her when they are eating and we have kept her in the coop again today, so we are hoping gradually they will be fine, otherwise...."We're having Chicken tonight" My 3yo ds came in the school room the other day with a bottle of olive oil asking me if it was whiskey....yes, Little House on the Prairie is very educational. Well that is all I can think of for now....off to have some protein! :)
