Confession: I went to the grocery store at lunch to get the rest of the weeks groceries, but I knew I needed to eat first or else I would buy the whole store, so I detoured past my house and ate all of our leftovers. I went to the grocery store and by the time I got home and put the groceries away I was starving again, so I had to go pick up some "second lunch" on the way back to work.
No shame, girl. I have breakfast, second breakfast, mid morning snack, pre-lunch appetizer, and so on....
I love how the random thread is about food. Reminds me that I have a hidden bag of puppy chow that I usually dive into during nap time. If I didn't have a toddler I would have had time to finish it by now.

Well huge face palm here. I don't know why but I always thought the Sex post was actually about our sex lives now we are pregnant and questions as to what was safe and not. Why the hell was my mind in the gutter and not thinking gender?!! -100 points for not paying attention there. It was only when it was mentioned here today that I thought to open the thread!
I'm bringing it back to food, since that's what's on my mind 99% of the time today. DH is going to be home late tonight, so on my way home from the bank I decided to stop at KFC and get the $20 family fill up. Best decision of the day. I don't have to cook, DH will be happy, and the chicken is freakin' delicious.
We don't have a Chili's here, but I stumbled upon thisat my grocery store. My lunch today was the best decision EVER (this might be a slight exaggeration, but I don't joke about food right now, lol). My only mistake was just buying one...I told DH I was going to stock our freezer just with that. I wasn't joking.
I wish I didn't have Celiac disease so bad right now...I want Taco Bell, or KFC or Chilli's (or all three) or anything someone else cooks that tastes like the above where I don't have to worry about getting sick. I had gluten-free cereal for breakfast last night and even H told me it was pathetic looking.
I do have french fries in my freezer though...maybe that will be supper.
I ordered sushi from my favorite place, a mix of cooked rolls and raw since DH will be home soon. I ate all my half, then half his half, and am now eyeing his quarter bc he's still not back yet. If I order more, will he ever know I ate $57 worth of sushi? Although.... I do have some yummies in the fridge. Dear lord what is happening?!
ps:DR said I can eat my fishes raw from his place since i ate it at least once a week for the last year without getting sick. Sushi is my favorite but the sight of fish made me sick for the last two months! Still crying over that...
I love diet coke but for some reason it doesn't love me in this first trimester. I remember in my last BMB people would be worried that they hadn't felt the baby move so they used to drink a bottle of coke. Worked every time. I don't think a coke occasionally will cause any harm.
@denny+lee my husband and I gave up all soda like 6 'months before I got pregnant. Now Coca Cola is all I can think about. Frozen cokes, can or bottle, I want it all the time. I do feel guilty because it's so much extra sugar but I don't want to drink too much diet either. I try to limit it to one per day plus my normal one cup of coffee.
@HBamama2B sushi sounds so good! I'm glad I'm not the only one, but I will only eat it from one restaurant from which we always order and I've never had a bad piece of fish. Definitely couldn't eat it in the first trimester either.
Before I couldn't read about food Bc it made me gag. Now I can't ram was about food Bc it makes me say frantically to DH: To the bat mobile!! I must have that hamburger stat!
This happened over like one day. So bizarre.
Also--I want all the sodas and all the candies. @hollywoodave531 I gave up soda when we started fertility since j have pcos and it's terrible for it, now I'm fighting tooth and nail not to give in.
DH came home and took down the baby gate blocking the dog from the room with the kitty litter....because she's been known to, um, get into it (barf). He apparently asleep on the couch without replacing the gate. I come in from the bedroom to hear the dog getting into the litter box, yell "No! Bad dog!" at her, she pisses all over the f*cking floor, and I proceed to dry heave multiple times from the smell. I manage to shriek in between heaves for DH to get the eff up and take her out.
Random: I LIKE THE SNARK!!!! Lol. I'm tired of people getting upset about responses being honest. I'm not made of sunshine dust and unicorns... Rhinestones, sure. But anything else, not so much. Not everyone here is going to have the same opinions, so when you ask a question, you really can't get mad when someone doesn't agree.
Ok so that was a random, an UO Thursday on a Wednesday and a flame all in one. Oops!!
@denny+lee I drink Caffeine Free Diet Coke near daily. I gave up caffeine when we were TTC our first child. It took over a year to conceive. Combine that with the pregnancy I was off for over two years. When I tried again, my stomach literally could not handle it. I was having severe pains and we did an endoscopy to see my stomach lining had weakened and caffeine was my trigger for pain. Long, rambling story. Love me my CF Diet Coke.
Ok I have something unrelated to food today (I know, shocker). First part might be a little TMI, but I don't know where else to share it.
Last night I woke myself up from a dream. A sex dream. A hot, steamy sex dream. The orgasm in my dream literally woke me up and I was definitely "aroused" in real life.
I also had a dream that my belly had nowhere else to go but out. Like it was sticking out past my toes. I was showing it to some friends and kept saying "Look, I can even bowl with it" as I bent over and attempted to roll a bowling ball with my belly.
@mrsschmity I had lots of these dreams in my last pregnancy all in the 2nd trimester. At the moment I am having just crazy ass nightmares so if someone wants to send me a sexy dream I will take it! Even though some zzzzzs would be nice too!
Yep. The two where the girl was complaining about the other boards and then another one that I can't remember because this child is eating my brain cells
How did I totally miss the second thread from that second tri-board complaint poster? whoa.
On another random note- I'm finally showing enough that I got offered a seat on the train in NYC!
AND my bosses boss is having a party today and he stopped by to ask what I wanted to drink. feeling very Pinky and the Brain today. Without nausea apparently the world is our oyster.
@denny+lee I don't drink soda normally but I have been obsessed with it lately. I still mostly drink just club soda (I find it easier to get down than uncarbonated water lately) but I've definitely had my share of Diet Cokes and ginger ales too.
The whole drinking a soda thing to get baby up and moving totally works too. But so does any sugary drink. When my midwife did a NST at 38 weeks with my first, she made me drink a juice and eat a lollipop :P
So I finally went in to get my lab work done today. COULD NOT give a urine sample to save my life. This happened every time I was supposed to give one during my last pregnancy too. Spent 45 minutes locked in the bathroom contorting myself into various squatting positions over the stupid tiny cup, trying to meditate on rushing waterfalls and imagining pee flowing freely out of me, trying running the tap, everything. I was supposed to fill this tiny orange cup just up to the line she drew on, then finish my business in a big blue cup, but it seemed so hard and complicated and I could feel the pressure of the situation and hear screaming kids out in the blood-sample portion of the lab and I just. could not. go. So frustrating! Now I have to go back and somehow come up with a game plan to be able to pee on demand when I get there. Can't we all just trust that I don't have chlamydia and leave my poor shy bladder alone???

Now they're at the emergency vet.
Moral of the story: I like cats.

These pregnancy dreams...they're legit.
