My 4 yo started demanding doughnuts thus morning. I'm using her as an excuse and sent DH to Dunkin. Doughnut holes sound amazing this morning. Pretty sure I will instantly regret them, but right now I'm salivating at the thought
Lately I've been eating tons of fresh mild salsa with tortilla chips. Main dishes include hot dogs (DS can only have the expensive all meat, preservative free etc so I have no regrets eating them daily lol), pasta, and homemade pizza. Also lots of fruit... Watermelon, strawberries, peaches, bananas, apples. I'm still hating cooked vegetables so I had been doing well with raw. But this week even raw ones grossed me out. So extra fruit it is.
Nausea got worse the past few days so I didn't even enjoy a big fat donut yesterday for national donut day. I looked at them at work and couldn't take one. So so sad.
I'm living dangerously today! Had a turkey, salami and provolone sandwich for lunch. Nuked it in the microwave for 30 seconds to get the cheese melty. Then a medium rare mushroom n Swiss burger at Wing House (ate here before so I trust them). Loving the fact my lactose intolerance has been reversed during pregnancy. Has that happened to anyone else?

Been eating everything, all the time, but the only consistent craving is fresh fruit. Raspberries and melon today, but with all the talk about doughnuts I'm going to have to go get one now!
I had been surviving on hardboiled eggs, string cheese, plain cheerios or rice chex and skim milk, and pb toast. Unfortunately pb toast and string cheese are out. HOWEVER, suddenly pizza is GOOD. like... so good. And the basil chicken sandwich from modmarket. GOOD. Sadly, the cost of eating is going up like crazy. But yea... pizza!
ETA the word pizza is so cool. I'm gonna name my kid "Pizza" - it flies out of the mouth, has z's in it which everyone knows are in style for names, is unique, Pi is a cute nickname... and it's good for a girl or boy. Lil baby Pizza.
@dmontgo that sounds amazing! I'm especially impressed that you can handle raw shrimp while pregnant. I have a few pounds of it in my freezer that I'll be avoiding for a while still.
I had an amazing lobster eggs Benedict this morning from one of my favorite restaurants...runny egg was totally and completely worth it. Baby approves.
@LinziLoo09 It's crazy because I want every meat except chicken. Beef and pork have been a thing lately especially---steaks, briskets, pulled pork, brats...I did have lobster and shrimp the other day too. Sometimes I think baby is a boy because of all the meat, but then I have sugar cravings now too. Craziness....delicious, but crazy.
So I was excited to go eat at a seafood restaurant tonight that boasted the "freshest seafood in town" because it's attached to a fish market.The top photo is the menu picture of the meal, and the bottom photo was my meal. Those fish sticks are about 2.5 inches long total...
@dmontgo our trip has actually been a comedy of errors, so I'm just laughing now. The boutique we came to shop in tomorrow is apparently closed Sundays and Mondays, despite their voicemail claiming they are open Monday through Friday. This restaurant was one of three recommended to us by the hotel (one of the other ones hadn't even opened yet as a restaurant "coming soon"). Dh ordered 6 grilled shrimp, 6 fried, and 6 coconut, and he got 6 fried shrimp, six questionable oysters, and 6 mini "scallops". I'm just dying laughing over here at this point.
@linziloo09 I'm not one to complain about my food at restaurants usually. After your breakfast you may appreciate this - even when I was served eggs benedict with the yolk cooked through. HOWEVER, while pregnant, if anything is off or not as advertised, I can't help but say something. You do NOT mess with my food right now! I got a gf sandwich from modmarket the other day. Literally the only thing I could imagine eating and the gf wrap part was not cooked all the way through... still a tad doughy... they comped me my next meal
I normally totally would complain @slartybartfast . I used to work in restaurants, and while I'll forgive certain issues, I know when a ridiculous line has been drawn. "The baby" got super feisty at Olive Garden yesterday when it took 20 minutes to get drinks (much longer to get any food), and ultimately we complained $20 off the tab because the first manager who came to "help" us was a complete jerk.
At today's restaurant, the whole place was so incredibly pathetic, that I don't think they would know what to do if someone complained. There were just two young girls running the place at the time. Didn't look like any manager on duty. I'm guessing someone was microwaving food in back somewhere haha. It was essentially a glorified shanty. I'm pretty sure they've never made the meal in that picture but just googled a picture of fish and chips. Fortunately I'm a big fan of malt vinegar (especially in my pregnant glory), and if you douse that on any food it all tastes the same
So many cinnamon raisin bagels! I justify it by eating my weight in watermelon, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. I probably need to tone down the sugary intake but it's so hit or miss with what sounds good at the moment. Ay ay ay.
DH ate the last bagel So I have been bagel-less in the mornings the past 2 days. Baby is NOT liking that. I get paid tomorrow, so storm or no storm I'm getting more bagels! DH tells me not to get addicted to carbs, and I replied it's not me it's your child. His response? Blaming someone else? That's what an addict does! He got a pillow to the face.
