Oh... walnuts!

Guess what I am reluctantly eating right now? If you guessed walnuts, you are correct. Why am I eating walnuts? Well, because they contain omega-3 fatty acids and since I don't eat any fish, I either have to take an omega-3 supplement each day (yech, doesn't sound appetizing plus they give you fishy burps apparently, which makes it a million times less appealing!) or I can eat a couple handfuls of walnuts so that Baby G's brain can develop well and so that Baby G will be more attentive. So Geoffrey bought me a nice bag of walnuts and likes to harass make sure I am eating them. Along with my 20 glasses of water. Oh joy. Did I mention that walnuts are one of my least favorite nuts?

If you want more info on walnuts, check out the Walnuts website--it even has recipes!

13 Weeks

So, I know that I have been lagging with the cooking project. But it's only because I've been busy with a different sort of project the past few months.

For the past thirteen weeks I have been busy feeling excited, nauseous, anxious, nauseous, nervous, nauseous, cautious, nauseous, hungry, nauseous, forgetful, nauseous, fatigued and (wait for it...) nauseous. I've been sans caffeine, cocktails, wine, sandwich meat, and soft, stinky cheeses. I've lost my sweet tooth (the horror!) and my love of spicy, flavorful food. I can't drink orange juice or eat fried foods. I'm living off of cantaloupe, pears, apples, cottage cheese, toast, peanut butter, chicken soft tacos (from Taco Bell only), crackers and other similar plain tasting foods. I'm sick of drinking water, including soda water. I've lost weight, yet my clothes feel tighter everyday. I've felt alone, yet there is always someone with me!

These are all tiny inconveniences of our new little project. As it turns out, we (well, technically me) are expecting a baby! Baby G (also referred to as Little Thing) is expected to arrive in early June 2011. We are so excited and can't wait for out little peanut (literally, in the first ultrasound LT looks just like Snoopy!) to arrive and meet you all!
