I have this dilemma but I believe it's also a blessing. Ready?
Lately, I don't like chocolate.
Shield your eyes if you must. I know it burns.
So before I got pregnant I was worried that I would use pregnancy as an excuse to eat chocolate to my heart's content. I was worried I would gain lots of unnecessary pounds due to this indulgence. But alas:
A: Chocolate is as appealing as green beans to me. Though surprisingly green beans don't sound half bad, which is saying something considering I hate them to the core.
B: I haven't gained anything. Zilch. Nada.
Did she just talk about her weight on her blog? NO. Yes. Stop judging me. We're just getting started.
I'm getting a little wary of everyone who says that I'll start feeling great once I hit the 2nd trimester. I'm practically there, yet I still feel so sleepy and I'm still fighting nausea regularly. Did I tell you that I'm SICK of eating. I know, that one is right up there with the chocolate. Blasphemous. Who gets sick of eating? Apparently when it's no longer an option but a demand from my body, it also becomes a chore. Like showering or using the bathroom. Demands=chores.
But don't even get me started on demands/chores. Laundry? Puhlease. Making dinner? Gross. My poor husband.
I can say something positive in this post. I can, I can, I can. I think I can.
...EUREKA!
I'm growing a baby. And in approximately 188 days I will hold my little one and nothing in the world will be able to convince me that chocolate and clean houses are better than that.

I would get sick eating chocolate and ice cream...both which are delicious. Now I am just starting to be able to eat both. It will get better I promise... I have gone through the same thing you have, hang in there!!
Oh how I've missed your blog posts :) I've taken an absence from my blogging and finally just checked yours.
Being sick is yuckie. Like more than a little.
Remember the unisom and b6, not even kidding it works. Take a half of a unisom and the b6 at night before bed. I lived on that stuff while preggers.
I'm super excited that you are with child, although it honest and truly makes me feel like a 100 yrs old. I remember holding YOU and babysitting YOU and now you are having one?! Say what?! It was bound to happen, but it makes me feel old! Well I'm pretty sure I am rambling now so I shall end my exciting comment.
the end.
Haha no worries that happened to me too with the chocolate...but once the 1st tri was over I was a chocoholic... And the tiredness and sickness should stop almost overnight once your into the 2nd trimester. Hang in there!!!
Same thing happend to me with chocolate during the first trimester. Seriously weird. I had chocolate chip cookie dough brownies that I ended up throwing away. CRAZY right? I knew if I offered them to anyone they'd immediately know I was expecting. But don't fear, I love chocolate again! And you're getting to the fun part! You'll start feeling your little alien soon and even if you're still sick, you won't care.
Amazing the way pregnancy makes you feel...and to make it even stranger...each pregnancy has been different for me...different side effects, different cravings. You are gonna be such a cute pregnant lady. We are so excited for you and Ammon!
