What are your favorite healthy foods?
Morning sickness has decreased a lot for me, so I can eat just about anything again! Unfortunately, only junk sounds good most of the time. I need some veggie sides/meal suggestions to help me get excited about eating the stuff that's good for me (and the baby!) again.

Since I usually feel worse and worse if I can't get…

This is my second pregnancy. I'm 19 weeks and at a 20lb weight gain so far. The first trimester was horrible. The only thing I could do to feel better for a short period was eat.
