Things I can't eat now that I'm pregnant:
Ground beef
Chicken
Salad-98% of the time
Coffee-only lattes in the afternoon
Cereal in the morning-it's the milk
Anything with dairy before noon
Eggs
Yogurt
Things I eat way too much of:
PB&J-Not so weird, but I normally don't eat jelly. I will wake up at 2am and eat this without shame.
Peanut butter-We're going through a jar a week; I eat it by the spoonful.
Bread/crackers- It's not so bad now, but those first few weeks were a carb binge. I personally went through a Sam's Club sized variety box of crackers within 3 weeks. I have also cried at The Olive Garden for not getting bread fast enough.
Something weird:
I don't hate sausages [bratwurst, Italian, breakfast], but they've never been my favorite. However, since I've been pregnant, sausage is what always sounds good for dinner. Very weird.
Cravings:
I haven't had too many, but I've heard they're coming. I have off-and-on strongly desired lemon things: lemonade, lemon and pasta, lemon desserts.
Which brings me to desserts: if I see it, I have to have it. If it's a commercial, a show on Food Network, or a recipe online, it starts to manifest itself and at some point during the day I will either have to cave in and eat it or cry. I generally just cave in. No one wants the ugly cry because of a cupcake. I try not to eat something too terrible. Sometimes it's just a spoonful of Nutella, but other times [like last night] I just have to make cookies. I think I'm going to start buying some Godiva dark chocolate to keep around to help curb those cravings. Ice cream was big a few weeks ago, but now I'm down to just needing that every other week or so. I've been planning to go to Graeter's in Louisville on Friday for a week now, and it seems like having my sweets scheduled helps. Is that weird?
I'll update this as my tastes change.
