I have made dinner everyday this week and it has been great. Here is what we made:
Monday: Chicken with carrots, celery and potatoes in the crockpot.
Tuesday: BBQ Pizza
Wednesday: Wheat Pasta with Four cheese pasta sauce and chicken Italian sausage. (I made Dave a big plate of cheese and bean nachos).
Thursday: Mustard, Pickle and Cheese Sandwich (me) and Samuel had applesauce, cheese, broccoli, cauliflower and some pizza.
I know I am pregnant because last night for dinner I didn't want anything to eat except a mustard, pickle and cheese sandwich. I haven't had one of those sandwiches since I was a kid. My dad used to make them all the time and I loved them. If you love Mustard, Pickles and Cheese, put it in a sandwich and it is so yummy. Anyway, I ate that last night and I had no stomach issues and I felt great.
This week, during the day I have been feeling better, but I still feel terrible at night. There are many things different about this pregnancy then the last (I am writing this down, so I will remember too.) For those of you that don't have any interest in my pregnancy, you can stop reading now because there is nothing else important I have to say in the rest of this blog.
So on with my list of differences:
1. I am breaking out all over my face. I don't ever really get zits, but I have little ones all over. Around my mouth, on my chin, around my nose, on my forehead. I hope you get the picture, it is everywhere. I don't think most people would notice them all, but when I get up close and personal with the mirror at night, I am horrified. (I got no zits with Samuel, my face was crystal clear).
2. I have been more nauseous with this pregnancy for a longer period of time, but I haven't thrown up. I just feel completely sick, but I can't seem to yack. It is good and bad.
3. This baby does not like sweets. I ate a cookie that I made the other day and it tasted so good and then about 5 minutes later my stomach was in so much pain and I got a headache. I felt terrible. I have experimented with other sweet foods and my body is not responding well at all. I feel like I may be pregnant with a baby that is very similar to Dave. He hates sweets, but loves salt. Now not eating sweets is in the big picture a really good thing, but I love chocolate and cookies and cakes and this is really going to be sad if I don't eat them for 6 more months.
4. I have to eat every 2-3 hours and small meals. I can't eat really big meals. I am talking one piece of fruit, one slice of pizza, one piece of toast...at a time. That is about all I can handle or I start to feel sick. With Samuel I could eat anything and as much as I wanted and I felt great (after the first trimester).
5. My boobs don't really hurt. This part I really like. I couldn't even be hugged when I was pregnant with Samuel, my boobs hurt so badly. My boobs feel perfectly fine. Hug and squeeze away.
I am sure I will think of more, but I am done for now. I will probably be updating this list as my pregnancy goes on, so I can keep track of the differences myself.
Have a great weekend everyone.

you crack me up. "Hug and squeeze away" :) and the sandwich. sounds like something only a pregnant woman would love! I hope this baby starts to let you eat some sweets! Maybe he/she just heard the dr's orders not to gain as much weight. :)
I ate another one of those sandwiches today. You should try it out, they are so good. Also, I better start liking sweets again, you know how much I love them. It is very difficult to turn it down, but since I feel so terrible after, I really have been staying away. I didn't know that I had willpower.
