The List

When people find out I'm pregnant, they often ask me what I'm craving and really, it hasn't been too much. Fruit, especially berries and watermelon, occasionally something crazy (like the night I had to have a cheeseburger and an orange Fanta), but all and all, it's been pretty mild.

There is, however, a list of foods that I cannot eat. This list makes me sad because it's some of my favorite foods, however, I'll take not eating them over not being sick, thank you very much. The most updated list is as follows:

Peanut Butter: Okay, I love peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter and banana sandwiches. But peanut butter, hands down, the nastiest thing I have ever thrown up, therefore, until this baby is born, I am not risking it again.

Pumpkin: This one just makes me sad. It's FALL! My favorite time of year! Time for pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes and chocolate chip pumpkin cookies! But nope, anytime I try even a bite or sip of something with pumpkin, Baby Neighbours says, "No way, mom. No way." Sigh. Maybe next year.

Milk: Drinking plain white milk was never my favorite, but now, it's downright nasty. I can still do it in cereal, but that's it.

Yogurt: Every morning, I used to take a yogurt and chocolate milk to work. Now, the thought of yogurt and it's creamy, thick texture is just too much. Chocolate milk was on the bad list for a while, too, but I have overcome that one!

Mexican: See previous posts. :(

Rice: Anything with rice, in general, makes me sick. This includes Chinese food, chicken and rice, broccoli casserole, Tin Drum, etc. Again, don't know why, exactly, but it just does.

Chicken from Chick-fil-A or Zaxby's: Something about the smell...however a chicken sandwich from Wendy's is a-okay.
