Odd things about being pregnant...

So I'm almost 13 weeks preggo and the strangest changes have been going on...I'm not flashing back to my middle school years of change (which were horrible by the way) but I will say that pregnancy hits a close second to that traumatic time.  Here are some things I've noticed:

1) My taste in food has done a complete 180.  This baby definitely has Tim's taste buds.  I love salty foods; I went to Red Robin the other night and only ate French Fries, skip the hamburger...just give me salt.  I have been a sugar-aholic since I was born; my first word was probably, "Canny".  I buy loads of candy for my classes and they eat about half of it and I eat the rest.  But since I found out I was pregnant, my taste for sugar has dropped to about a zero.  This has seriously NEVER happened to me before!  My last surprising food aversion (besides Mexican food) is pizza.  Tim and I use to eat pizza at least once a week.  Walking past the pizza aisle last week made me throw up in my mouth.  I just have no more cravings for pizza - any kind.  My family ordered it last night and I cut the pizza in half and just ate the crust.

2)  I can cry at the drop of a hat.  We went shopping for a pair of shoes for Tim Friday night.  We found a good-looking pair and he wouldn't try them on because he thought they were too expensive.  Tears started welling up and before I knew it, Tim was walking around in those shoes like they were slippers.

3)  My face looks like it did in middle school: covered with zits and fat.

4) Body changes?  Let's just say some good some bad; mostly I just want to wear a robe.

  1. It's amazing what pregnancy does to you isn't it? Have you noticed your sense of smell being heightened?
