Cravings vs. Aversions

My Aunt Trish wanted me to do a post on cravings but I honestly haven’t had any yet. Nope, no craving what so ever.

Instead I have been blessed with the all day nausea bug (baby) that has turned my love for food into a deep deep hatred. Every single dag-on thing that I would love to eat right now is making my stomach turn. I have had nothing but cereal, bagels and granola bars for the past 5 days (okay, so I have managed to suck down a few more things but for the most part, this is pretty accurate). If you are thinking, well at least you get to eat that, let me just tell you that the average amount of food that my stomach allows me to keep without intensifying this sickening feeling is about 1/4 of my usual food intake. I AM STARVING!!!! WAWAWA I WANT TO EAT!     

Let me tell you friends, this is ridiculous! I have never in my life experienced something so strange. Can you tell me why Pizza and Pizza without cheese are so different? One makes me queasy, one does not. How come Grilled chicken (which is my favorite thing in the world) is  making me gag while this Chik-fil-a Original Chicken Sandwich (fried=death) staring at me is making my mouth water? gulp. Why can I eat an orange (Amen I was able to eat something with nutrition) but banana’s are a no no? People, I just don’t understand. And, don’t get me started on liquids!

Actually, this is also all making me kind of worried. Right now our child is in the development stage, it needs lots of nourishment and I can barely eat at all. I am pretty sure I have lost about 3-4 pounds this week. Everyone keeps telling me to just eat what I can eat but it doesn’t help me feel better about the fact that I am not taking care of my baby (or babies) like I should be. =(

Not to add to the “Whoa is Me, Cry Me a River”  thing I have going on right now but I also have Bronchitis. I can not breath and I can’t stop coughing. I can only take Robitussin to helpwith the cough but nothing to open my lungs (not allowed inhalers)… please pray for me. I am tired of being sick. I am sure that Ryan would agree that he is tired of it too! hehe
