For A Minute There I Thought I Was Losing My Mind

November 20, 2008 · 5 comments

I’m celebrating because I think I’m over the morning sickness!

Yay!

I haven’t had a twinge of nausea since last Saturday. And I’m back to being able to eat want ever I want without getting a stomach ache an hour later.

I know it’s not very healthy, but it was really nice to indulge in a hamburger, fries and a Coke from McDonald’s.

I enjoyed every last fat and carb filled bite.

I am so glad it’s over. It really is miserable to feel like that all day long, day after day. I know I didn’t even have it as bad as some do. It certainly wasn’t as severe as the morning sickness I had with my son.

But feeling yucky like that all the time just does something to you mentally. Well, at least to me. It’s depressing. I just wanted to sit on the couch, and the more I sat, the less I wanted to do anything else. I lost enthusiasm for just about everything, even blogging.

As soon as I started to feel better my emotional outlook improved too, and I stopped moping around.

I feel happy again, and I think I’m probably a little more pleasant to be around.

Those pesky cravings are back again also.

My latest?

Toaster Strudel.

Again, something I don’t normally eat.

Pasta and Chinese still remain high on the list.

Is there a Chinese restaurant that also has pasta on the buffet?

Cause spaghetti and meatballs with a side of fried rice and chow mein sounds really good.

I’d even settle for a Fazoli’s next to a Chinese buffet.

O.K.

Maybe I am still a little out of my mind.

Cravings

October 22, 2008 · 14 comments

Well, I did get my Twinkies. My wonderful husband very graciously went out and bought some for me the other night.

Twinkies were a strange thing to crave, because I don’t think I’d eaten a Twinkie in the last decade. Normally I would never waste that many calories and fat on something that doesn’t contain any chocolate.

Dave just bought me a little package of two Twinkies instead of a whole box, thankfully.

That first Twinkie was yummy and sweet, filled with creamy goodness. But by the time I finished the second, I’d had enough processed pastry to last me a while.

Craving satisfied and over.

We had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner last night. Now that was good, and I could have eaten up every last bite, but I’m trying not to gain 50 pounds before the first trimester is up.

Right now I have a meatball sandwich toasting in the oven that I made with the left-overs.

I don’t think the pasta craving will go away like the Twinkie craving did.

There’s also a chocolate cake in the oven.

My latest desire.

Little David and I whipped that up this morning. He loves cake, so I’ll have someone to share with.

Oh, I think my sandwich is ready!

So what strange things did you crave when pregnant?
