Food AA For Pregnancy. (Addictions and Aversions) and 35 week update

I couldn't stand seafood when I was pregnant with Owen, and maintained the aversion for a couple of years just remembering the feeling I got from smelling it, cilantro, and bell peppers. I have happily been able to indulge just as well as before. In fact this pregnancy I LOVE shrimp, and eat it more than I did not pregnant. But with Owen I didn't have big cravings or phases. I ate pretty much the same things I did before, my meals just couldn't include shrimp, cilantro, or bell peppers.

I don't eat sweets/sugar ever. I don't crave it or want it. Unless I am pregnant with my husband's child apparently. The only phase I had with Owen was Honey Nut Cheerios 2x a day for like 3 months straight. This pregnancy it's been cake, cookies, candy, chocolate, junk cereal (Cinnamon Toast Crunch is spectacular!), cupcakes, sweet breads (monkey bread, banana bread, pumpkin bread). Additionally, I have been totally digging breakfast foods lately! Eggs, waffles, bacon, breakfast burritos, cinnamon rolls, cereal, orange juice... On a normal day, I would rather eat any great dinner food in place of any of those things. Breakfast foods, are my least favorite. Except for right now. Right now I would like to  replace EVERY meal with breakfast food!

One day I ate like 4 oranges in one sitting. (Note to self: Your digestive tract does not appreciate 4 oranges at once. Do not repeat.)

I had a salad phase where I made delicious amazing salads with mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, hardboiled egg, chicken, sunflower seeds, croutons, and ranch. Amazing. I would make a huge bowl and go to town.

Intermittently between these phases I will go insane over fast food.

I have had so many odd food cravings this time around it is CRAZY! I luckily haven't had many aversions at all this time. I eat less sriracha sauce, which typically tops almost everything that goes into my mouth, but other than that everything I loved before I love now! Problem is, things I didn't love before I Loooooooovvvvveee now...

My butt and thighs hate me right now. My arteries probably aren't too happy either. And if my body were ever close to getting diabetes it would be now. For sure. All I know is other than water giving me heartburn (don't even get me started about food. Any food at all.) I am absolutely in a torrid love affair with food this time around. It has been the best/worst time ever.

In fact, I am starving right now. I will be making stuffed meatballs, a vegetable, and mashed potatoes for dinner. But since I want breakfast I will also be making breakfast biscuits and cinnamon roll waffles for 2nd dinner! (I don't really eat breakfast, so really it is lunch and dinner for me.)

I am sure some fruit will be consumed in between.

I can't wait until my eating goes back to normal. Salty and greasy, are all I ever have to worry about then.... :)

I will be 35 weeks pregnant tomorrow! I have been awful at keeping up with my blogging lately. I will have to post my belly pictures at some point pretty soon. It is pretty funny how little I am to begin with and how HUGE I am now, and I still have 2-4 more weeks! Eeek!

I am doing well other than being uncomfortable ALL of the time. The heartburn is constantly plaguing me, and I get tired and sore really fast. I am totally ready for this baby to come out, but totally unprepared! We still need to get a baby swing, a diaper pail, cloth diapers, more clothes, bottles, and more!! OMG WE ARE NOT PREPARED!

I am trying not to panic.... Deeeeeeep breathhhhh.....

Well, I'll check back in a week or so, after my 2 baby showers, and when I am technically full term! 37 weeks, whoot whoot!!
