Diary of a pregnancy
I guess the most suitable place to start would be with the subject of food. After all, food is one of the many important building blocks of life. The second question I have been asked most often is, "Are you having any strange food cravings?" I guess a couple, but mainly I have had strong distastes for foods. Peanut butter comes to mind the first. I usually love peanut butter but since this baby has taken over I can't stand it! Vegetables come to mind second. I can't eat a vegetable to save my life and again I usually love vegetables. My diet for the past 2 months has consisted of mostly complex high calorie carbohydrates; pasta, rice, and bread. So yes, I have already put on 6 lbs. You would think through all this nausea and vomiting one would loose weight but not with these Kenney genes. These genes have mastered the art of gaining weight not loosing it! Protein has been really hard to eat but has gotten a lot easier in the past 2 weeks. As for the cravings, I crave all fruits. I can't eat enough fruit. Mostly oranges and cantaloupe. Coincidence or divine design that they are both orange? I don't know. The strangest craving I have is for a turkey and cheese sub sandwich from this deli I would frequent in college called the SubStation. Something about there bread, shredded lettuce, shaved turkey and this special dressing. Now, that is strange, I havn't thought about the SubStation in Blacksburg in years. I want one so bad!

Oh those college days! I wish I could go to substation with you :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the pregnancy- I am super excited for you. Post pix of your baby bump when you can.
Hard to work on your feet all day when you are sick- I know that! I had the morning sickness stuff until I was 18 weeks... How is nursing going? Where do you work now?
Miss you!
