This pregnancy has brought with is many more aversions and oddities than my pregnancy with Liam. Many, many, MANY more. Here are just a few:
—————————————
Shannon: “I can’t even look at that dark chocolate. I think I will vomit. Only milk chocolate will do.”
—————————————
I found myself trying to soak the sugar off the tops of the frosted shredded mini wheats, which I purchased because previously (and by previously I mean at all other times in my life prior to this point) I couldn’t eat shredded wheat without the sugar and figured that the benefits of the shredded wheat would outweigh the negatives of the sugar. I will now buy regular shredded wheat for breakfast for the first time in my life.
—————————————
I “pull a PJ” at almost every meal: I get down towards the end and there might be two or three bites left and I cannot, for any amount of love or money, eat those last little bits. Upside: maybe I won’t be a total cow at the end of this pregnancy…
—————————————
I’ve been eating Lean Cuisines for dinner because they’re the only things I can stomach.
—————————————
Shannon: “I can’t even think about eating a cracker. Crackers make me want to vomit.”
—————————————
Anything with red sauce (spaghetti, pizza, etc.) is a huge no-no. Seriously?
For the record – now that I’m pregnant I’m part of the “clean plates club”…
Well there you go. Pregnancy is crazy!
