Congratulations!!  I just found out on Sunday!  Looks like we'll be joining the August 2012 group!  :)

As far as healthy foods, I'm just excited because by this point last time (I'm 4 weeks tomorrow) I was already sick and I've only been sick a little so far.  So maybe I'll be eating food!  Last time, I just ate whatever was in front of me because I was so sick.  :(

Me too!  I found out yesterday morning. 

I'm trying to keep things to moderate and sensible levels as far as eating goes.  I didn't go crazy the first time but I wasn't super stringent.  I gained more than I'd like and of course had a much bigger baby than I'd have liked so I'm hoping to make some changes even though we're still not sure what caused it.

I plan to avoid HFCS whenever I can, and cut out pop as much as I can (which is hard because I LOVE it).  Take it easy on the sugar and carbs and try to fill up on protein and vegetables.  That kind of thing.

I've been eating a lot more fruits and veggies too!  Feels good, especially knowing that these little beans are developing SO much right now!

Congrats!!   I'm a bit of a sweets addict myself, but threads like this remind me I don't have to eat like everyone says a pregnant woman should!  And wow, you did have a big baby!  Did you HB?  That is amazing! :-)

That would be amazing! But no, I ended up with an unplanned section. Her size and positioning made it so I had too hard a time pushing. And a slow labor exhausted me. A bad combo. I'm planning a VBAC this time around.
