Announcement


So it's been a really long time since I have posted! I will try to be better in the future. In the meantime, the lack of posts probably have lost all my readers. However, if you do still read this, then you will be the first to know that I am pregnant! ...and sick :( So this post is dedicated to all those who suffer from morning sickness and I am giving you the foods that make me less sick and ones to stay away from and hopefully keep your head out of the toilet!

#1 Blueberry eggo waffles (unless you drink to much milk with them). I have eaten them about 4-5 days a week for breakfast for the last month and a half..

#2 Grilled cheese sandwiches. I'd say I eat one of these for lunch about 4-5 days a week.

#3. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I usually end up eating these after I have thrown up because they seem to settle my stomach. Maybe I should try eating them before.

#4 Popsicle twin pops. I can't seem to get enough of these-I eat at least 1 a day, if not 2 or 3 a day. Cold things make my tummy feel better.

#5 Superpretzel frozen pretzels. These are good-they are like the big fat fluffy pretzels that you get at like fairs or whatever. They even come with their own salt packets. Just enough blandness to keep your stomach calm, but still taste good.

#6 Fresh fruit. Nectarines, grapes, raspberries, blueberries, and cherries are the best in my opinion.

#7 Plain toast with butter. On the days I don't eat waffles, this is what I have...pretty boring huh.

Things NOT to eat:

#1 Anything fried

#2 Ranch dressing

#3 Mexican food

#4 Tomato sauce, v-8, or anything tomato-too acidic

#5 Milk or ice cream. I know, sad, but milk products don't work well in my tummy right now.

#6 Chocolate..even sadder

#7 Diet coke or any diet drink. The fake sugar after taste seems to be heightened and makes me sick.

So, there ya go, hope it helps!

I kept looking on your other blog for the announcement...very sneaky!

I couldn't have any dairy my first and second trimester because it made me feel worse than I already did. You're able to eat a lot more food than I was able to!

Kristen, congratulations!! This is such exciting news. You should not feel bad.My second pregnancy for the first three months I almost lived on toast with butter and peanut butter and chocolate milk since that was all I could keep down. And just the smell of coffee...
