food, Food, FOOD!

My mouth is on FIRE! Fire I tell you!

Why?

Oh, because I just downed some flamin' hot cheetos. And by some I mean alot. I did this, because I was starving and they sounded really good. You guys I am hungry all the time. Like seriously, all the time. It's actually kind of annoying, to be honest with you. I'm sick of having to think of things to eat. Especially since the thought of so many things makes my stomach turn. Turn huge sickening circles. It's been like this since I took the test. It's like my body all of a sudden went, ok you know you're pregnant, here are the side effects! Enjoy!

Don't get me wrong, with HRJ I was hungry alot. But I wasn't sick. So whatever I craved, I ate. Of course, I craved fruit, veggies and healthy stuff. I'm sure I had hard times figuring out what to eat, anyone who eats 17 times a day would. This time, I'm hungry for salty stuff and sweet drinks. Not sweets, just sweet drinks. The thought of veggies, proteins and cheeses makes my gag reflex kick in. I can't even prepare HRJ's tofu (which he has taken to eating dipped in salsa, btw. gag.) anymore unless I hold my breath and work quickly. But I know that I should eat healthy, so this makes my decisions even harder. I stand at the pantry door staring at the chips and crackers but my brain is saying, "Eat veggies. You need your leafy green vegetables." And then guilt kicks in and I turn my back from the pantry and move to the frig where the veggies are. Then I stare at them and proceed to get incredibly nauseaus. This happens everyday, all day.

I promise I won't do this often, but I have to tell you what I ate today. Seriously. You're going to laugh at me..or at least be grossed out that I consumed this much food in a 14 hour period.

Here goes.

Bowl of raisin bran
Apple
Grilled cheese (the only way I can stomach cheese) and tomato soup
Couple bites of banana (HRJ stole the rest, that banana stealer!)
Flamin' hot cheetos and chocolate milk
Two large carrots
Peanut butter and fruit preserve sandwich
Hearty chicken and noodle casserole
MORE flamin' hot cheetos

Crazy, huh?

How does all that food fit into me? I'm perplexed. Especially since I've been eating like this for a month, save three days when I lived on bread, crackers and apple suace. According to my last Doctor's appointment I've gained only one pound between my two visits. Which were 4 weeks apart. One. I was ecstatic, don't get me wrong, but I was also incredibly shocked. I keep joking with the hubs that there are twins in my belly, partially because of the terrified look on his face when I do and partially because I can't figure this out. On top of the enormous amount of food I'm consuming; my stomach is huge, already. I know that muscles remember and you're always bigger with the second but WOW! I look like I'm 5 months already and I'm 10ish weeks. Maybe there are twins in there.

Now, if you'll excuse me I'm hungry again.
