@freetheelf I am also a coffee-a-holic but it is one of the first aversions I have when pregnant. The smell of brewed coffee makes me want to gag. I can drink iced coffee, and I do within my allowance.
@pink_polkadots Oh, I totally agree. Qdoba's queso is like 100 times better, but yesterday Chipotle's really hit the spot! @FreeTheElf I craved cheeseburgers like crazy when I was pregnant with DD. I'm curious to see if it happens again this pregnancy. So far, I'm not really loving meat and seem to do better with vegetarian meals.
Man I have been so bloated that I’m forcing myself to eat. And when I do eat it just tastes funny :-(. I’m craving coke and coffee but I’m trying to stay away from those.

@wannaflickone Same here with my last!! I can only tolerate iced coffee, too...I love iced coffee but it doesn't beat the hot cuppa in the morning. Did you get your coffee love back at all in later trimesters? I think mine came back in my 3rd. @offtoneverland So weird! When I was pregnant with my DS I couldn't stand the sight, smell, or thought of any meat OR potatoes for most of my pregnancy. Now all I want is meat and potatoes. Maybe I'm having a girl and you're having a boy this time around!!
@FreeTheElf I was eventually ok with the smell of espresso for some reason, so I would get decaf or half caff espressos. It took until both kids were out of me to be ok with regular coffee.
I am so bloated but still eating SO much. By the end of the day, I look at least 20 weeks pregnant. It’s absurd.
Had to break out the pickles today ladies. Woke up with a terrible taste in my mouth that no brushing or mouth wash could get rid of. I fondly(not) remember this when I was pregnant with DD. I’m about to chug this pickle juice, jus’ sayin.
I’m chugging tons of spinach and berry smoothies but what I really want is alllll the pho!! Sucks that bean sprouts are on the naughty list. I’ve still been eating them but I feel bad about it...
@andromeda222 OMG I love pho. In fact, the day before I tested I was really tired and light headed so my hubby brought me pho takeout. It’s like my comfort food!!!!!

Presently, I'm in love with steak which is odd for me because I don't care for it typically. I still love Dill anything. I'm trying really hard to be good this pregnancy because I am already way overweight and it is causing me so much anxiety I'm really struggling with it.

@gingersnap-mama broccoli? That's crazy, but such a good thing to crave. I'm currently craving all the carbs. I had my first wave of very brief nausea, but was able to make it go away by stuffing my face with popcorn.
What my pregnant self is eating... ALL. THE. CARBS.

I don't usually like spicy foods, but a few days ago I made a Blue Apron dinner of pork with an orange and jalapeno salsa. I couldn't get enough jalapenos; they were so so yummy! I was watching Chopped this morning and when one of the contestants sliced up a jalapeno, it looked so good! I guess I'm craving jalapenos now...so weird. I've also been dying to eat a bagel with cream cheese, so I just made bagels from scratch for the first time and can't wait to eat them!
Guys.... We were just watching TV, and the characters are eating cake. Suddenly, cake is all consuming. It's all I can think about. So... Now my husband is going out, in the middle of the night, to buy me a (specific) cake.
*Edit. Well that's weird. It didn't post half of what I typed!
I swore I would never be that wife. I didn't hold out very long! Haha
I feel bad. But this cake is gonna be SO worth it!!
MH is pretty awesome! Last night before I left work he informed me that for dinner he was baking chicken (for the 3rd night in a row) and the mere thought of it made me want to hurl, so as a surprise he thawed out a steak and had that waiting for me when I got home while he ate the barf-tastic chicken This man LOVES red meat, so for him to give me red meat while he eats chicken is a testament of true love. Plus he made 2 cups extra rice so that we have a ton left over in the fridge for when the mood strikes ETA: it was hands down the most delicious steak EVER

@offtoneverland I have been eating chipotle’s chips like crazy!!! I crave chipotle then eat a few bites and am done but then proceed to eat all the chips and the queso which I normally don’t like...
Last night the craving for Rice Krispie's was strong. Like I could taste them as I walked in the cereal aisle. You better believe a box ended up in my cart, and there may or may not be a bowl in front of me right now.

Current situation. Survival mode. Yes that’s an empty jar of olives. (Thanks @middleschoolmommy for the craving), and yes those are cheese balls and yes that is fruit punch in my cup. No shame in my pregnant game. At least I’m eating when everything typically sounds disgusting so I’m chalking it up to a win.
I made a dozen banana muffins yesterday. DD and I ate 4 yesterday for snack. I had another 2 after dinner. It's 2:30 here and I just ate the last of them. I'm pretending they were somewhat healthy bc they had bananas. Right?
For the past three days I have been developing a crazy craving for lasagna. I usually don't care much for Italian food, but this sounds amazing. I have no ingredients to make lasagna, and I think I will chew my arm off if I have to go buy all of the supplies then go home and cook it. I think one of the frozen lasagnas might be calling my name tonight.
I felt super awful the first half of the week and ate basically just club crackers, and now, I’m feeling like if I don’t get some pizza before bed tonight, I’m probably going to cry. Like I need it.
Yes! Trader Joe's frozen lasagna is so so good. Highly recommend their garlic bread to go with it too. Too bad that one of my only food aversions right now is Italian food and pizza. @runningyogimama Did you get some pizza? @lifesabeach85 I've been feeling that way too; I can only eat a small portion of my dinner before I'm stuffed. I really thought that was only a third trimester thing when your stomach is squashed, so I've been surprised about it. Really curious what causes that!
Omg... Made some perogis for dinner tonight. They were sooooo good. Kind of "bland"/not super flavorful so had no heartburn or quesiness!

Me before every meal: I’m starving! Gonna eat a ton! Maybe seconds!
Me after eating 1/3 of a meal: stuffed! Must lie down!
Its like third trimester already.
quite delicious. If you live close to a Trader Joe’s, theirs is SO good.
@runningyogimama Did you get some pizza?
