Day 1 of blog

Beginning (at ~6 weeks gestation) of blog stats:

Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 148ish (I love our scale because of it's innacuracy!)
Skin: hideously hormonal
Outlook: anxiety about self as person/parent but dealing
Book Reading: Eat, Pray, Love


So, this will be a food diary for my pregnancy. By my own estimate I am somewhere around 6 weeks pregnant. I have been having very weird food cravings and aversions and thought it would be funny to be able to look back and see how insane my pregnancy food diary looks. So, here we go!**

It's 1030am here and so far today I have eaten:

cinnamon roll french toast (yes, I actually cut up a cinnamon roll and made FT out of it! Yummtastical!)

a banana with peanut butter

an eggo with PB

large plate of hash browns fried in butter and oil

1/2 mandarin orange

Whew!

So, it's hard to explain why I am eating this way, even to myself. The best I can do is that I feel "eh" about most foods right now. Foods I previously loved (bagels and cream cheese, etc.) make me nauseous just thinking about them. And foods I normally could care less about I crave.

I have to say, I finally understand the whole, "Pickles and Ice Cream" thing. I really do.

**Disclaimer: Although this looks like an incredibly bad dietary start to a pregnancy, let me assure you that I do get exercise every day, I take my prenatal and iron supplement, and I try very hard to work some fruits and vegetables into the mix. Sometimes, thought, even the thought of broccoli makes me want to puke.
