Cravings

Well, I never wanted this to turn into the type of blog where the pregnant lady only talks about being pregnant... but there is NOTHING else going on at the moment.

I can finally eat some normal foods now. For 2 months I only ate
saltines, fruit, water (LOTS AND LOTS), and gatorade.

I always crave these weird foods and then I get them and
either don't want them or they make me very sick. What is weird is that I want things that I have never even liked before:

1.
Sour Patch Kids gummies... I hate all gummy candy, yet I can't get enough of these!
2. White bread... I normally hate white bread, but it is the only bread I like.
3. I normally live off
cereal... It makes me sick every day. I think I am becoming lactose intolerant. Yogurt also makes me sick.
4.
Chips and Salsa... AMAZING. I have always loved these though.
5.
Nectarines. Delish.
6.
Green Powerade. I love this stuff.

Since I am nausiated all the time, I think about food ALL the time.
I can never eat it, but I want it because I am starving.
Being nausious and starving sucks.
I can only eat very small amounts of food before I start feeling sick, but I am still hungry.
AHH.. the madness.
So far... at 14 weeks I have lost 10 pounds. Why couldn't this happen when I tired diets?!
I haven't lost any for the past 2 weeks though. I think the main part is that I don't drink
PEPSI anymore. I was addicted and the thought of it has absolutely no appeal to me at all. One positive thing. I guess being pregnant will break me of that habit.

Anyways... we have a doctors appointment on the 2nd and then the NEXT one we find out what it is.
EEK!
Am I getting ahead of myself?
I am so nervous.
If it is a girl we already have the name picked out, but as for a boy there is still some debate.
Anthony has had his name picked out since.. forever.
But I find cute boy names everyday!

I also feel like I should be getting something ready for this little one, but I don't know where to start. I feel like I can't do anything until I know what it is, and even then, I can't buy anything until after baby showers.
Any advice?

  1. I came to re-read this post so I could have some food you're craving on Saturday. Also, I wanted to avoid the stuff that is making you puke. I wasn't planning on serving cereal though so we're good :)

    So excited for you!
