From FitPregnancy:
A Yale study found that expectant moms who ate chocolate five or more times a week had a lower risk for preeclampsia than those who ate it less than once a week. Dark chocolate, in particular, contains a substance thought to have cardiovascular benefits that help prevent preeclampsia.
For anyone that wants to donate to my "help prevent preeclampsia" fund, all chocolate can be sent directly to me.

LOL. I've been saying this for years...every day as I eat my 85% "look at that, lowering my blood pressure." One of God's gifts to us women.
Oh that's just fabulous...especially considering that my parents' house is FULL of chocolate. Score.
that's awesome! and by the way, i had a pair of gap maternity jeans that were my favorite. they were fitted on butt and thighs, but had a full tummy band, and they looked like regular jeans. i also liked target maternity.
Ahhh, so that's why you ate my chocolate Kristin sent...I guess I forgive you ;o) And I'm also pretty sure that is why I never had blood pressure problems!
I heard about you eating Brooke's chocolate. I don't blame you. Whenever I go to Kristin's I have to eat her non pareils too. There is something about those that is irresitable. Time for a new post and new belly pics.
Yeah, I blame Kristin. She's pregnant too, couldn't she see it was a mistake to send all that good chocolate for me to stare at for 2 weeks, and none of it for me? I justified it in that she never told me exactly who it was all for, and that Brooke and Tripp can share. I've been busy, but will update lots soon!
