Week 19.5 update
I forgot to mention a new pregnancy "side effect" I've discovered this week: acid reflux (also called heartburn, indigestion, etc). I've never suffered from it before and it's pretty awful. I will spare you the details.
Also, there was a request for "obsessive blogging about food cravings." I'll do my best. Here's what I can tell you for now:
My cravings have calmed down lately. And, they've changed their strategy. Instead of craving random foods I might not have eaten in a while, I now get obsessed with certain foods I've eaten recently. It all started with some Trader Joe's pita chips. I had them at a party a few weeks ago and then HAD TO HAVE THEM. Since Jonathan believes in a policy of "GET IT WHAT IT WANTS," we stocked up. I went through 4 bags in 2 weeks before settling down.
Last night, a new craving set in for Trader Joe's vegetarian egg rolls (what is it with me and that store?!). I had two for dinner last night and woke up at 4AM today (partially due to jetlag) and HAD to have another one. The craving was so strong that I had to stop off at Trader Joe's this morning to get some more to have for lunch today. While I was there, I of course picked up another bag of Pita chips (old cravings die hard). I'd like to think I'm done with the egg rolls for now but writing this only makes me hungry for more! When will this end?
Also related to food cravings, I dream about some foods these days. I remember two different dreams about ice cream while in Argentina. And now I am missing the ice cream in Argentina. Maybe I should stop writing about food. . .
