Oh, Sweet Junkfood!

When I found out I was pregnant, I completely changed the way I was eating. I filled the house with fruit, veggies, and whole grains. & even though I was eating quite a bit, and pretty frequently, at least it was healthy, right?

--Still going on? Not so much--

Since the morning sickness has kicked in full force, I have not been able to hold much down. Then, I discovered how good french fries make me feel. Heavenlyyyyy!

Since I have been getting sick at night, it is mainly the dinner that I have been "tweaking". The last three days I have managed to keep dinner down. What am I eating? Let's see. Thursday night I had french fries. Last night I had a chicken sandwich and - french fries. Tonight, Mac wrap from Mc'd's. and yep - french fries. They are so good, but I know hold no nutritional value and therefore, I think that makes me a bad mommy.

It is hard to help it.. I tried broccoli and lean meats but good Lord did they come back up quickly.

Hoping that the morning sickness goes away soon so that I can once again make nutritionally sound decisions for me and my Munckie!

Vegetable Cream Cheese

I love you! For you are one of the few that does not send me to the porcelain bowl while all of my insides are screaming.

::Swoon::

On to the next level

Last night, the morning sickness went to a whole new level.

Lately, the extreme hunger and morning sickness have been battling it out. I get insanely hungry, eat like a ravaged beast, and then am ridiculously uncomfortable and hate life. The morning sickness kicks in and then I want nothing to do with what I have ALREADY put in my body. I have slowly learned that if I eat slower, I can satisfy my crazed hunger and I will not get so full, thus, keeping the sickness at bay.

Last night I made Bug his Birthday Dinner. Chicken parm, complete with pasta, garlic bread and a salad. I had one piece of chicken, a small amount of pasta, one piece of garlic bread and did not touch my salad. I was able to eat all that and still be comfortable. I felt that I mastered the hunger/morning sickness and found a solution.

An hour later it alllll came back up. It is pretty much the first time I have really gotten sick. I have felt terrible nausea for about a week now, but this is the first time I have actually been greeted by it.

I am not sure why it happened. Maybe because I had eaten less, I had less in my stomach and it got aggravated... ahhh to find a happy medium. I am really over the morning sickness.

My body is swirling

I have some wacky stuff going on today. I feel like my whole abdomen is swirling. Like it is stuck on the tea cup ride and the rest of my body is just hanging out, watching it get dizzy.

I am not exactly experiencing nausea, but the swirls sometimes result in that "too much saliva in my mouth, I know I am going to puke" feeling.

& there is some swirliness going on in the ute that I am assuming is just different changes taking place. They feel more like cramps than anything else and are very minimal.

Let's not forget the lowest part of my abdomen. Something is swirling down below that is making me so gassy and think I have to go to the bathroom like 27 times.

Ah well, I enjoy every second because the end result is totally worth it.

Oh, and my biggest craving today - veggie cream cheese...oooooooo it is so tasty!
