My first pregnancy I was in Chicago so it wasn't a big deal but now I'm back home in Louisiana and I don't know how in the hell Im supposed to live off of only 12oz of crawfish/shrimp ect a week...
Everything. Anything. There has literally only been one hour today when I haven't felt hungry. And my stomach will physically feel full but I'll still have hunger pangs. It's insane. I've been devouring honeycrisp apples and a giant takeout container of a fire roasted eggplant dish from my favorite Indian restaurant.
I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm not sick, and my previous pregnancy I took eating for two as a challenge (gained 85 pounds) and EVERYTHING was delicious and wonderful. Now it's like, "Oh plain bread, white rice and Lima beans!" I also at ramen the other day without the flavor pack.
@kat029 It’s my first pregnancy but I feel the same way as you. The plainer the better for me right now. I’m like give me plain oatmeal, rice cakes..... so boring! Lol
I am on the same page, I am usually a hot sauce maniac (literally carry packets of sriracha in my bag in case I encounter bland food) but now all I can stomach is boring starch with the occasional vegetable. Having an aversion to all meat too...has not made finding protein easy
@djh513 mine either!!!! But he is Dominican and made the mistaken by telling me that there Is an old wife’s tale in the DR- that if you don’t give your wife what she craves during pregnancy- you’ll get a stye in your eye I’m thinking there are time I might have to use that to my advantage!
Hmm maybe that’s where my husbands sty came from...

I had a cheddar and jalapeno bagel with jalapeno cream cheese for breakfast. It was so good. I should probably include some fresh veggies in my other meals today no matter how good jalapeno poppers sound. I'm seeing a theme today...
I have to stop myself from eating noodles every day. I want all the spicy noodles: ramen, udon, pasta with fra diavolo sauce....
Last night I caved and DH and I bought a small chocolate cake from TJ's. Other than that, I'm forcing myself to eat salads and lots of veggies during the week. My workplace has a great salad bar with ingredients from a local farm that has been good.
Also, my appetite has way increased, in spite of the occasional nausea. Anyone else?
@bdesterhouse - those look amazing! On the grocery list! @runsomewhere - oh. my. gosh. I need that in my life, like right now! @sm05-2 - I could eat noodles everyday, even when I wasn't KU. Mine hasn't increased, but I've noticed I get fuller faster, which I'll take as a plus for now.
I had a really craving for grilled cheese and tomato soup yesterday, and that was dinner. Right now, I want pickles. Maybe because I bought pickles yesterday and I know they are in my fridge!
@sm05-2 oohh noodles sound so good! I'm literally in the middle of eating a cheeseburger and now I want noodles. That's sad.
I'm eating a cheeseburger.... I went to an event this morning and it was catered, but it was all deli meat sandwiches and I'm like...dang. So stopped at Wendy's on the way back to the office.
I just ate a spearmint lifesaver from a bowl on our receptionist's desk and all my troubles melted away. Like I feel awake and alive and not nauseous. Guys, mint lifesavers are apparently magic.
Apples, grapes, pretzels and Cheerios. That's about it. Has anyone else had issues with sugar? I am pretty grossed out by sweets at the moment and anytime I have sugar I end up sick.
Just saw video of burgers on facebook for national fast food day and for the first time in like 3 weeks i suddenly have the desire to eat and I want a big ass burger with cheese and mushrooms ahhh im so hungry!

Such healthy cravings! The only cravings for sweets I have is chocolate. Most other things (like cranberry juice) taste too sweet to me right now.
For some reason today I want ALL the spicy food. I brought a southwest chicken salad for lunch and I tossed the red bell peppers out of it and added a ton of jalapenos. I bet I end up regretting that later....oh well, worth it.

It’s 545 am and I’m think about In N Out, sadly I’m in CO. But iv been noticing that even though I’ll eat breakfast around 830 I’ll immediately start think what’s for lunch and how long till lunch lol
Just got to work and immediately went to seamless to order a bagel and latte to be delivered. Espresso has less caffeine than regular coffee so it's justified right? Already thinking about lunch too...brought a nice healthy salad but it's my birthday tomorrow and if a coworker offers to buy me lunch I likely will not turn them down...

After a few days of being a blah mommy, DS "helped" me make some eggnog pancakes for breakfast- SO good! I added Nutella and syrup, at least I made them from scratch, right?
Popsicles! Well not yet, but I really want them, asking H to pick some up for the store, since he was done with work at 2pm, and I still have to work for another 56 minutes...UGH!
I can tell you that my pregnant self will not touch another spicy chicken burger from Wendys with a 10 foot pole. Was craving one so bad.... am still feeling sick from it this morning
I'm loving fruits and avocado, also all the proteins and soupy stuff. I'm getting obsessed with texture, like the softest piece of bread or the crunchiest bacon etc. Anybody with me?

Oww gotta watch out with the spice! I usually LOVE spicy food but I've dialed down the heat by at least half since finding out, I'm scared of heartburn and bathroom troubles (TMI)!
