second trimester ambitions

Well this is written in ambitious anticipation. As this is my 12th week, I am now nearing the close of my first trimester. So I have decided that all of my first trimester symptoms are going to end (silence! no dissent!). As such, I am soon going to start having plenty of energy - no more couch-sitting-wall-starring for me - and eating normal food again (vegetables!). But before that happens, here's a list of all those crazy things that I have eaten in the past three months, particularly the things which you might otherwise have thought I would never eat again:
  • mac&cheese
  • frozen pizza - any pizza really - as long as it's sans veggies
  • bagels, bagels, more bagels with cream cheese
  • icing (yes, off a cake - eeeww!)
  • white rice with butter
  • Fettuccine Alfredo
  • Olive Garden
  • hamburgers at least weekly
  • lots of fruit juice
  • ramen noodles
  • taco bell (7 layer burrito - which was as disgusting as I should have known it would be!)
  • 40 oz steak(s)
  • organic cheesecake (may have to continue to eating this)
Do you see the theme? teehee - so much for my pre-baby ambitions for infusing him/her with health and vitamins from the day of conception. Well if my preferences don't change, I think I'll have to change the menu anyway to save the marriage. Although Joe has been surprisingly tolerant of our new eating style, lately it has become evident that he is getting tired of it. Last week he made veggie stir-fry and threatened me that he'd name the baby Kale if I didn't eat it!

Kale Nelson does have a nice ring to it . . . maybe it could be a nice middle name: Organic Kale Nelson. Or maybe All-natural Kale Nelson? We could call the baby "Nat" for short.

Welcome to your second trimester!

Clearly, Baby Nelson is strong-willed (like his/her mom!) regarding food.
