The One With Nothing To Eat

Those of you who know me, know I love food. Not all food, but the stuff I do like, I love. After looking at magazines, pinterest, and countless blogs I cannot find anything I want to make to eat. My diet recently has consisted of potatoes, cheese burgers, french fries, and apples. Literally that is it. I want to eat healthy for myself and the baby, but have no idea what to cook.

Here's the problem:

• I am lactose intolerant, but craving some cheese (I may or may not be giving in)
• Most food items are on my pregnancy bad list, tomatoes and pork especially.
• Mexican, Chinese, and Italian food are sadly all on the bad list.
• Mr Gator can't eat nuts and doesn't like cornbread.

As I researched I realized everything has either cheese (which I already knew), tomatoes, nuts, or one of my pregnancy no-goes in the recipe. I am looking for a healthy recipe or food that doesn't have a lot of spices/flavors in it and doesn't have milk products, tomatoes, or nuts. Any suggestions? Your prize you ask? A hug from a hungry pregnant me who misses food! Not good enough....think of it like a game!

Don't forget to vote whether you think baby gator will be gator or gatorette!

**Sorry for the confusion, when I say my pregnancy bad list, I do not mean bad to eat while pregnant. I mean when I eat these items 99.9% of the time I get sick because of eating said items thus their standing on MY (personal) bad list.

The One Where The System Breaks Down

I haven't posted in three-ish weeks and I apologize for that, but I think* I have good reasons for not doing so, hopefully you will agree:

1. My 3 year old laptop died. It was not dropped. Nothing was spilled on it. It just went to sleep one night, and didn't wake up in the morning when I was ready to use it. At least it went out peacefully unlike my last one.

2. I am currently 18.5 weeks pregnant, yes the .5 is necessary, each day is a milestone. Now I have not, not been posting because I am 18.5 weeks pregnant, rather I have not been posting because I have been experiencing elevated first trimester effects in the second trimester. Of course I am super excited to be out of the first and into the second, however, I am curious when I will get to experience the joys of the second. It will come right? Let's hope and pray so.

3. Due to forgetting to bring my camera everywhere (sad day) and not having the ability to upload pictures from my phone (note the #1 reason for not posting), I felt that without pictures my posts would be somewhat boring.

Sorry to be a downer, BUT I have exciting news or I guess will have exciting news to come.....

On Halloween I will potentially get to find out the sex of baby gator, not because I like the day and will be going to a psychic but because that just happens to be the day of my next appointment!

I thought it would be fun to take a poll to see what everyone thinks baby gator will be! So please take the poll on the upper right side of the blog, I can't wait to see what you think it will be!
