Yesterday B and I were hanging out in Fort Greene and he wanted me to order something from the restaurant we were having a drink at. (Of course mine was a "virgin") I looked at the menu and was just like "Ug, I don't want any of this". And then he asked me what I wanted and I said deep dish pizza. Yeah...can't get that anywhere around where we live or where we were yesterday. I know there is a Pizzeria Uno in the village but we weren't trying to go all the way to Manhattan. So I just told him that I just didn't really like many things these days. Not because of morning sickness or nausea because I STILL haven't experienced either. The worst I get is the occasional heartburn. I just get turned off by a lot of things. I used to LOVE the food at Night of the Cookers, the restaurant were at. But when we got food from there the other day, I could only take a few bites. It smelled gross to me. It was just candied sweet potatoes, collard greens and macaroni and cheese. Three things I LOVE but for some reason could barely look at that day. It just smelled funny to me. So B kept on asking "So what do you want to get for dinner?" And I kept avoiding the question because I just really couldn't think of anything and my virgin strawberry dacquari was giving me heartburn! He said I was just being "moody and picky with my 'buds". LOL! Most pregnant women have food aversions but also strong cravings. I have the aversions but no cravings so it makes lunch and dinner time difficult to say the least. Finally we ended up at an overpriced health/grocery store a block away and after combing the aisles for probably 15 minutes, I managed to pick out soy milk, lentil soup and organic saltines. Yeah the dinner of champions, I know! After we got home, we began watching Hellboy-the first one- while we ate our prospective dinners. He had sides from the restaurant and I had my warmed lentil soup and organic saltine crackers. I could only finish half a can of the soup, I put the rest away for today. So now I am signing off so that I can show B the doc "The Business of Being Born". I want him to be on the same page with me when it comes to being knowledgeable about birthing options in NYC and the struggle to give birth on your own terms.
