Dirt

That's what my Honey Nut Cheerios tasted like today.

I remember the last two times I was pregnant, feeling like an alien took over my body. But this is nuts! The morning sickness/nausea deal went to a whole new level today. I really thought I was eating dirt. I was reading this article on weird things happening during pregnancy, and this was one of the things. Seriously! When I read that, I thought about how awful that was and how that could never happen to me. I mean, who eats Honey Nut Cheerios and tastes dirt instead of golden honey goodness? Dirt!

This pregnancy is a little bit different . . . so far I don't have the cravings that I did with the girls. I used to always want pizza, specifically Pizza Hut Cheese Pan Pizza. That was heaven to me. The thought of that makes me want to get sick right now. Before, I would eat anything with sugar in it. Anything. I drank way too much juice and loved cookies and cake. I really had to watch myself because I didn't want to have an issue with blood sugar.

I only had a few aversions--eggs and red meat. But this time, all food seems to fall into the aversion category. I mean really . . . there's a whole roll of uneaten Thin Mints in my freezer and I don't even want to think about eating them. If you know me, you know that I can eat a whole roll in minutes. There's even a huge box of Totino's pizza rolls in there. I bought them when we first got here, but can't go near them now.

So here I sit eating tiny bites of applesauce so that I can have something in my stomach. I guess I should be thankful that at least the applesauce doesn't taste like dirt . . . yet.
