Recipes?
Filed Under Pregnancy Eating | 1 Comment
Anyone want to share some good recipes for meals that you prepare and freeze before giving birth? I’d like to spend the next week cooking, but outside of chili and spaghetti sauce, I have no idea what to cook! I’m a vegetarian, but I think it’d be fun to share some ideas!

Am I pregnant or just 17lbs heavier and suffering from a bad case of gas?

Clive confessed last night that he’s still waiting for the movies and television shows depicting crazy pregnant woman to ring true. He feels a little lied to by the media, who prefers stories of husbands who have to run out for deep fried pickles at 2:30am OR ELSE. Midnight jaunts for ice cream. Picture […]

Basically, my stomach can go fuck itself.
Yesterday morning I felt so sick that I called into work and told my boss that I was going to be in later. The HR person at my company told him that I was pregnant last week (aren’t they supposed to keep things confidential?), so he “understands” […]

All I can think about this morning is going to Tim Horton’s for lunch and getting a veggie sandwich combo. Cream cheese, tomato, lettuce and cucumber on whole wheat, juice and some kind of donut. OH, I WANT A DONUT.
Eating has become a chore that I no longer enjoy. I’m hungry at least every hour- […]

Dreams and Thoughts
Filed Under Daily, Pregnancy Ailments, Pregnancy Eating | 2 Comments
In the past week or so, my dreams have become much more vivid than normal. I had a nightmare last week, and it was one of those movie-esque situations where right when it gets really, really scary, the alarm clock goes off and you hit the Off button with a sigh of relief.
