The things I am given up.... (and am putting up with!)

Ok... so being pregnant has it quirks and perks... but it also SUCKS in many ways. I have had to change a lot about my diet and what I eat and drink. To start with.... my biggest vice:


When you are pregnant, you are supposed to limit your caffeine intake. Well... I decided for my benifit (and the baby's as well) to give it up all together. So Coffee is out... (Decaf is NOT an option... don't even meantion it!) I have also give up something that everyone in america needs to drop like a bad habit:



I have done it... no more soda! Instead, I am trying to eat more healthy, and drink lots more of the natural stuff...



But.... one of teh wierd quirks.... I can't eat a few veggies that used to be my love in life. I have this wierd aversion to textures of some foods.... mainly this one:



Not sure what it is that makes me want to choke on this stuff.... but I can't stomach it. I am enjoying certain foods that I never liked before... Like Avacados... (um.... guacamole!) But my stomach has done flips at some wierd things that I used to love.... oh well. No real morning sickness yet... just aversions to anything in the morning. No complaints so far.... maybe I will eat healtheir after the baby too this way!
