What My Pregnant Self is Eating - August!

PolarBear517 · August 2018

I’ve been craving everything bagels with garden veggie cream cheese and also violating the no deli meats rule and eating spicy Italian subs like once a week.

I ate like a horse the first month of pregnancy, I was weaning from breastfeeding and also anticipating horrible sickness that luckily never arrived. But, now I’ve gained some 15 pounds at 18 weeks pregnant- probably 6 pounds ahead of where I was at with DD. Sometimes this really bothers me, other times I’m unconcerned.

Baby girl kicks really hard when I eat chocolate chip cookies and it’s usually hard for me to feel her move due to anterior placenta, so I’m eating a lot of cookies. Gives new meaning to the term comfort food.

MIL called today to say she’s coming for thanksgiving and that got me thinking about a menu. Now I’m dreaming about pumpkin pie and homemade bread.

Had brunch today out with a friend and had a strawberry basil donut, quiche Lorraine, potatoes and then they brought us a free piece of peach pie. I ate it all and it was so good!

@PolarBear517 I had an Italian sub today and asked them to toast it... when my husband asked me if I was allowed to eat that I just replied it is warm

I'm craving all the side dishes from Thanksgiving dinner. Especially green bean casserole.

@jgil85 My favorite Thanksgiving foods are the side dishes too! My favorite is the stuffing! Second is green been casserole. Now I really want like a full Turkey dinner.....November needs to hurry up

Ok seriously, I just had mashed potatoes and cole slaw for dinner tonight from Popeyes. In a way, I feel really satisfied thinking sides are really the best part than the actual chicken.

@jgil85 @drabong88 we were talking about green bean casserole at work yesterday! Then it led to Thanksgiving dinner and how it's just around the corner. It is definitely one of my favorite meals. I can't wait. And stuffing is number one in my book!

I'm getting Taco Bell for lunch today. Judge away, world

I have been craving watermelons something fierce lately. We bought it last weekend and I asked DH to cut it. It’s been five days of requesting that he cut the damn watermelon. I know I could do it but I just don’t want to (FFFC).

So one of my wise friends told me to put a note on the watermelon saying this:

Result? I’m FINALLY eating watermelon today. #WINNING

I mean, if he only knew how pregnancy somehow makes us crave watermelon like crazy, I doubt he would have put it off for so long.

@AliKay20 bahaha. That note is AMAZING. I’ve been buying pre cut watermelon but it makes me nervous because of all of the recalls of precut melon lately.

mtengl · September 2018

@AliKay20 my DH doesn’t eat watermelon but he did buy me one last weekend and after I saw your post I finally broke down and cut it... I would ask him to do it but he would have no idea how to since he doesn’t eat them.
