Welcome to Eating Expectantly!
My name is Holly Crow, and I am nearly halfway through my first pregnancy. I love to eat, cook, and think about good food, but I have found certain changes to my diet necessary for both the wellbeing of myself and the health of my baby. In the midst of this journey towards motherhood, I will be sharing some trials and discoveries about food and health in the context of a natural birth process where food is considered medicine, the first line of defense and prevention.
I am a student in the natural health sciences, set to graduate from an undergraduate Nutrition program at the end of spring 2009. I have lived in Washington state my whole life and love the green and blue shades of its natural environment. The move my husband and I have been anticipating – out of the city, into areas less populated – has been delayed by this pregnancy, but we are grateful to be near a naturopathic doctor and midwife who we respect for the first stages of this new chapter in our lives.
I hope you enjoy and are able to get something out of my mistakes and discoveries! This road is a new one for me, but I look forward to enjoying the process, confessing my shortcomings, and sharing my discoveries with you!
I love the blog name and your first post put a nice smile on this rainy morning... I look foward to reading through your pregnancy! And congrats!!!
