pregnancy and food.

I know a post about my eating habits is quite lame. But a post that includes a picture of a little girl giggling is definitely not.

So in attempt to not be too lame, I give you this.


Mmmkay, back to my strange eating habits.

The sickness has started for me, like toilet meet my face sickness. This time it started at 6 weeks, with Audrey it began at 7 weeks. Lucky me, right? I have also noticed how much my food cravings have changed this pregnancy. Last time it was mainly I didn't like meat (which I don't with this pregnancy either) and the weirdest craving I had was apples with salt (at midnight), which I don't think is that strange. But now I eat strawberries and blueberries for dinner. Get sick. And then eat a baked potato at 10:30 at night. Or carrots for lunch and butterscotch pudding. I'll fix Audrey a nice lunch of soup, apple sauce and cottage cheese, and then pop pizza rolls in the oven for me. [Which are horribly bad for you, I know this.] I will eat a delicious pear salad for dinner and then eat more salad as my dessert. And if you know me, you know I love sweets and dessert. So why is this baby choosing more salad instead?! And my poor husband, I can't stand to cook right now, which I usually don't mind. But the smell gets to me. Last night my little sister made pancakes for him, which he brought home in a bag and ate straightfromthebag, because he has a wife that eats blueberries for dinner instead of making a nice home-cooked meal. [Tell me I am not alone, please. Or at least lie to make me feel better. Fine. Don't lie. That's not good either.]

The good news about all this crazy food stuff? I don't mind because it's all for the baby. It's my way of my body telling me I am growing a little human inside of me. And I kind of like love that.

You are definitely NOT alone... In fact, it looks like you still even have it better than I do... From week 6 to about week 14 I was nauseous 24/7 without any sort of break. I am now thankfully past the 24/7 but I still have my moments throughout the day and can still barely eat anything. I too craved fruit for awhile and can no longer eat meat that I normally love. It's tough... But I can't wait for the little one to get here because I know for a fact that it will all be worth it when I finally get to hold him/her in my arms! :)

Chase has definitely been eating a lot more pb&j now that we're expecting. I've been very lucky to have no morning sickness at all, but I've been craving weird things, like cottage cheese, salsa, and tons of bananas (not together). Hope you get feeling better soon, & enjoy your butterscotch pudding! :)

I totally DID NOT cook for a couple of months. Didn't even go to the grocery for a little bit...And Rett was okay;)
And I did live on baked potatoes and potato soup for awhile, too!

Oh girl. Have you gone to the doc about this? This is awful- I know exactly how it feels. My doc prescribed Regalin (or something to that effect) and when I took it it made me feel better. Also found that eating small portions frequently helps (as you know!)

I am the same as you.. I never hated it. I always embraced it because it was a beautiful little being in there causing it!

I hope you feel better soon :) xo
