This is very different than my first pregnancy. When I was pregnant with little guy I felt so sick the first three months. Only certain foods sounded any good to me. And some foods that I thought I wanted, I pushed away upon trying to eat them. But not this time. This time, I eat a meal and then within two hours, I'm hungry, AGAIN. This could be very dangerous...lol.
But I guess the good thing is that there have been very few foods that turn my stomach, so I have many options. With my first pregnancy, I had definite cravings and was limited to what I could eat. But this time is very different. I haven't had any specific cravings other than just plain ole being hungry...lol.
Today we ordered tuna sandwiches at work from a local shop for breakfast (I know, tuna for breakfast may sound strange...lol). I had a delish lunch of chop chuey (a Chinese-style dish with chicken breast chunks and veggies) with a side of white rice. I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as a snack (little guy wanted one, and it sounded so good that I made two, one for him and one for me...lol). And now hubby is on a light dinner snack run because we're all hungry (at least it's not just me, right?). It's just all very strange for me because I normally (when I'm not pregnant) eat a light meal at work, eat a good lunch, and maybe eat something very small for dinner (but often skip it bcuz I'm just not hungry). My Dr. advised me to eat several small meals a day. And this time around I will listen not because I was told to, but because I feel the need to. :)
On a side note, this post has got me thinking. I may donate some money. I want to help feed those who are hungry. If we all helped, no one would be hungry on this planet. I try to help when I can, but being blessed with this pregnancy and the ability to eat inspires me to give more.
