theatokosIn order.
1. My roasted beet, goat cheese, and cranberry salad for lunch. I roasted some beets this morning and walked down the hill to get lettuces for it. But of course, pregnant lady is pregnant and right now I am thoroughly enjoying my chemical laden Cool Ranch Doritos. Serious tasty yuck. I was actually craving the chemicals. Shhh, don't tell anyone.
2. Adam returning from his 2.5 week trip to the US (he doesn't leave til next Thursday). Mostly because I'm exhausted just thinking about taking care of B for that long all by myself. I've been so queasy and tired. I really hope it passes soon. But Adam is also going to bring me back some special loot from the States.
3. I keep forgetting to mention this. Adam, B and I are going to Paris for a week in a November! We'll be spending the Thanksgiving holiday there with Adam's parents. Adam's parents went there last Thanksgiving and totally fell in love with Paris. They don't speak French know anything about art beyond Monet's flowers and definitely know nothing about French food. Such a very very unlikely match! And yet: love. So they are going back. And it only costs £50 round trip per person for us to get there. WIN! I've never been to Paris and I am *so excited*.
4. Having a baby. It still feels quite abstract. And February is a long way off. I'm scared about what this is going to do to my studies. But I'm thrilled to have another child.
5. The Twig is coming to visit me next summer! She and I talked via Skype yesterday and she said she had enough miles for a free trip to the UK. Yay!

Date: 2010-07-10 07:30 pm (UTC)I did my first ceremonial vomiting today, so I suppose I'm half way to the finish line, right? ;) My sickness went away magically as I hit 12 weeks, so I'm really hoping I've only got three more weeks to go with this. PLEASE GOD PLEASE.
I actually haven't tried beets for morning sickness, but I have a friend who is a naturopath and she swears by them.
I've been drinking mineral water by the liter. Lots of animal protein. I am really turned off by anything sweet and where I used to NEED carbs to survive, I can go without them forever, so long as I have meat.
My typical meal (at any hour) has been steak, watermelon, spinach, and seltzer water. Watermelon has a ton of iron in it- so good for pregnant and breastfeeding mamas!
