New Cravings…
Today I got up and got my son ready for gymnastics. I was feeling okay, and I quickly took my prenatal before running out the door with my son. We were on our way, when my stomach starting turning and feeling so bad. I thought I was going to throw up. When I was pregnant with my son, I never had any morning sickness, and I took the prenatal vitamin through the whole pregnancy without any problems. So, I don’t know if this was a true case of morning sickness, or just me being sensitive to the vitamin. I wanted to eat something, but couldn’t figure out anything that sounded good to eat - everything that I thought of made me feel sick. I finally settled on a bottle of milk at the pharmacy and a rice crispy treat. Not exactly nutritious, but better than nothing.I dreamed about lemon pie and apple crisp last night. I am making apple crisp right now.With my last pregnancy I craved meats! Chicken wings, hamburgers and steaks were what I wanted and they tasted so good. Today, I didn’t even want to think about meats, and instead most foods sound pretty gross to me. I did eat something that tasted so wonderful when I got home from gymnastics - club crackers. I dip them in whipped cream cheese that is topped with raspberry jam - So Yummy!!! I could continue to eat those, but I don’t want to fill up before dinner. Perhaps I will be able to eat some of it without feeling ill. I sure hope that I don’t have the morning sickness, but I wonder if I do, does that mean I am having a girl? I am really looking forward to getting together with the Holistic Moms Network in February for a round table - we are going to discuss things that we want to talk about in upcoming meetings - my focus before was more towards doing more natural things for my family, now I would also like to figure out more natural things I can specifically do during pregnancy. I don’t want to just use any body creams, or medications in my body while I am pregnant. I am also still breastfeeding my 2 year old, so I need support on that - especially if I start to get sore, or when he does his power nurses. I sometimes wish he would just quit, but I also know that my son is very shy and it is a way of feeling connected to me and close. I don’t want him to loose that before he is ready. He is very unsure of new situations and with having a new baby, he may need the comfort of the breast later on. I guess time will tell.
