Caitlin;
Congratulations to both you and your husband. May God bless you both and your baby on the way.
Remember - you literally are eating for two now - and iron is important for both of you. Eat lots of dark greens to help keep your iron up, but also, you do not want the iron to constipate you, so make sure you have a good fluid intake. Of course, your pre-natal vitamins are VERY important as well. Right now - a good balanced diet is a step in the right direction. You might want to grab a few protein bars as well, since they can also be good for the roughage and help in regular bowel movements.
Take care, and make sure you let us know how things are going.

Beth
