Food, glorious food

Today has been a good day so far with an amazing 0 toilet visits. Let’s hope this morning sickness is on its way out. My appetite also seems to have increased, or at least I have gone from pretty much not having an appetite at all, to being hungry a good deal of the time. My thoughts seem to be dominated by food. Every moment presents a new challenge – what can I stomach now? What should I avoid? I never really know until that exact moment. I have eaten some pretty weird things lately. I had a hotdog the other day at a friend’s house and a salami roll yesterday ( I know, it shocked me as well….my bad karma points are stacking up!) and the other night I had a bowl of baked beans and a bowl of fruit-salad for dinner. My husband just watches on with amusement. The problem about food at the moment though, is that as soon as I eat or drink a particular thing, I go off it for quite some time, so I am slowly eliminating most foods from my list of “can eat”. What is also strange is that I have gone off all the things I used to love eating, like prawns (ok, I know you shouldn’t eat shellfish anyway), and calamari. I can’t stomach anything fried and roast potatoes just send me running. I can’t drink water at all, unless it has been placed in fruit juice and milk tastes ok one moment and not the next. There is no logic to these cravings and aversions, each day prsensts a new challenge on this nutrition obstacle course. And to top it all off, I just discovered I shouldn’t be eating any nuts as they can cause food allergies in my child….hmmn…just when I thought peanut butter on toast was a safe option!
