Getting ready for baby!

Well today I went to the drugstore to get my prenatal.  Went with Centrum + dha.  Also got a folic acid supplement.
Replaced my usual multi for the prenatal and added 2 250 mcg folic acid tablets.
That ups my folic acid to 1000 mcgs including the prenatal vitamin.
I took my usual fish oil, which I've been taking for a year or more along with the dha supplement that came with the prenatal.  Not sure what that brings my total up to.  Will have to check the label but I think it brings it up to either 750 or 1250 mcgs.
I also added 500 mcgs of folic acid to dh's nightly pills.  I read somewhere that upping his folic acid intake could help motility. 
All that aside, I also only had 2 20 oz mountain dews today!   I had a killer headache by the time I ran to the store for my second dew.  Kicking the caffine is going to be the hardest thing for me.  That and quitting smoking.  I didn't try to hold back on the smokes today but will definitely try better tomorrow.
Maybe only smoke one every 3 to 4 hours.  That will cut it down from 20+ a day to 6 to 8 a day.  That's a big difference!
Anyway it's long past my bed time and I have a full day at work tomorrow.  So good night for now!
