Jessica,
Phew! That’s nice to hear, since I hated vegetables unless they were basically caramelized the whole time I was pregnant with O! Maybe there’s a chance his palate will expand. I guess at 2 1/2 I may not have had much of a sophisticated palate either:) However, I do love veggies this time around and am hopeful for this little girl to like ‘em earlier on. Unfortunately, if what i eat does have anything to do with what they will like, they will both have major sweet tooths.

I couldn’t eat chicken with my first – my son loves chicken! I couldn’t eat sausage of any kind – hot dogs, bratwurst, breakfast sausage (turkey or pork) – with my second son and he loves it! So weird….because I couldn’t stand the smell of onions or garlic (and as a chef that’s just plain inconvenient) and neither of them like onions or garlic – only in small amounts. Hmmmmm…

That’s funny- you’re the only other person that ever eats weird stuff when sick! Sometimes i eat the normal stuff (chicken soup, etc..) but usually it’s something a little odd especially when my throat hurts – I’m all about the scratchy stuff that most people avoid. Definintely wouldn’t say I’ve eaten healthy- my husband packed on 5 lbs already:)

I am glad you are starting to feel better! Though not exaaaactly the same as pregnancy , whenever I have the flu I get weird cravings, but it’s always for junk, like gummy bears and potato chips. I am surprised by how healthy your cravings have been!

Thank you! It really is weird isn’t it? I had to have fried fast food (Arby’s curly fries and cheese dip) that I haven’t probably had since grade school. And I was late to a restaurant one day to meet people and I ordered a chicken nugget basket and they thought I was bringing my son:) So weird how the foods you crave, no matter how bad they are for you, are the only ones that we can keep down or feel better after eating!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I’ve had 2 pregnancies and was incredibly SICK (lots of vomit) in both! I’m sure you’ve gotten tons of advice, but my biggest suggestion is to eat what you want! Your body will tell you exactly what you need…even if it doesn’t seem like the best thing. I NEVER eat at McDonalds and hadn’t for almost a decade. But in my last pregnancy, I craved a stinkin’ fish sandwich from McD! Weird, but it hit the spot in the first trimester and was the ONLY thing I didn’t throw up! So Strange! It’ll be over soon!
