I read this post several months late because “Sister baby” is already here, but it made me giggle because I also have a food blog and 3 months ago wrote a similar post because I’m also expecting 🙂 I’m past my first trimerster and I’m back cooking!

Jenni – So funny you suggested Fruit Loops. During my first 2 pregnancies I despised any fruity cereal. Ever since then I’ve stayed away. So funny how different it is for everyone.

Congraulations!
Can I suggest Fruit Loops? With my son, I had all day sickness. The only thing that worked to stop the onset was Fruit Loops. A handful before I got up in the morning, a handful after the shower, and frequently throughout the day. Also, I had to switch to a kids toothpaste (fruity flavored) because the mint made it worse.

Wow, congratulations!! As the mother of 7, I’ll just say this: The more, the merrier! It’s such a great adventure! When I am pregnant, I have to separate myself from anything I enjoy–or else I will connect it for years to the feeling of nausea. No fun recipes, no quilting, no photography….it really does make food a drag! I’ve loved your blog, and totally understand the hiatus! Good luck with your pregnancy and yes, hold your baby as much as you possibly can for it flies by way too fast!

Congratulations! I’m due with my first late September, so we must be on a similar schedule, and one of my staples a couple weeks ago was whole wheat pasta with butter and Parmesan too! I keep thinking the morning sickness is gone because I’ve started meal planning again some days with enthusiasm, until after I’ve eaten the meal and can’t stand the idea of it or the smell of the dirty dishes. Just another week or two and we should be in the clear though – here’s wishing you happy food thoughts and good health! (ps – sorry I posted this in the wrong place the first time – I’m new to your blog but I love it so far!)

Congratulations!! I can definitely relate to all day sickness. And I was also super nervous/anxious about my third child (the pregnancy & her health)…probably because I already had 2 healthy children & was afraid something would go wrong. I wasn’t very nervous with the first two, and it isn’t my personality either.

With the all day sickness…the big bummer for me was that we had just finished redoing our kitchen!! I had been so excited all month designing it, and couldn’t wait to cook in it. Not only could I not cook in it for a VERY long time, but the smell of the glue that they used to put in the granite counter tops sent me over the edge. I couldn’t even look at my granite w/out feeling nauseous!! It was horrible. I thought I’d always feel that way when looking at in, and couldn’t imagine ever being able to cook again. Horrible times….but I pray you are out of it soon. My #3 is now a healthy, happy toddler….newly turned 2 yrs old & into everything. 😉

Btw…I love your blog!!

i don’t know you nor your blog. i am new to food blogs, new to the food business, new to most all of it but cooking and eating.
having babies was not my easiest accomplishment. i often joke that i don’t remember anything from the 1980’s i was pregnant the entire decade.
that said, because i had terrible terrible pregnancies, that sound much like you have described, i couldn’t not send you this recommendation: papyrus enzymes. little chewable apricot flavored natural stomach settlers. buy them at the health food store.
hope it gets easier.

Aww! Congratulations! Funny I just did this post on my own blog a couple days ago……my sickness hasn’t gone yet and I’m at 12 1/2 weeks. ha Hopefully soon!

Munch on those crackers sister and stop making me think about food!

Ashley ~ congratulations! This news is so exciting to learn. Having witnessed you go through your last pregnancy, I thought of you often over this past year as I gestated (such a funny word!) little Tristan, who is now 3 weeks old. You were one of the few mama’s I know that have boys so seeing Roman grow up as a baby two years ago has been one of my few frame of references for little boys and how quickly they grow big! Having also witnessed your calm and loving ways of being a mama to two active little ones, I know you will continue to shine as a new mother of one more. Cheers! p.s. I feel your pain on the yucky tummy… though the upchucking never fully went away during my recent pregnancy, food did become yummy again after that 4th month. Then the nesting instinct kicked in soon after and all I could think about was cooking and baking! Hang in there, kiddo!
