This is the beautiful "Black Forest Delight" cake Aleana made for my birthday. She feels that it is one of her best so far and I would have to agree.
Thanks Aleana - you did a great job!!!
One may read the title and wonder "What is this going to be about?". Well, I would venture to say that you thought I was talking about the youngest or perhaps one of the boys in the family.
Wrong!! It is me!!
I feel like that is all I do right now. Eat. As a rare execption to the human species, I must admit that normally I do not enjoy eating - in general. I sometimes will enjoy feasting but rarely do. It's my genes, my make-up, metabolism - whatever you want to call it. It's like those that have curly hair wish they didn't and those that have straight wish it were curly. I really wish I did have a better appetite and other people have looked at me and wished they had none. It's just the way it is.
Right now, my dilemma is that I need to eat approximately every hour and I would really rather not - most food is disgusting at this point, especially proteins. Eating, however, is the one thing that helps with the nausea. For six months I have been trying to gain weight when I should have just tried pregnancy. Will bought $40 of snacks and juices for me the other night and in three days I had consummed all of them!! Like I said - every hour...
I guess this is more of a rant than anything. A plea to be understood :).
Have a great week under God's grace.

um.... is this an announcement? If so, congrats!!! If not ....then I read something wrong!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing!
ReplyDeleteAre you saying you got pregnant to gain weight?
Or that your appetite is just a welcome side effect? :)
Congratulations!
Come on Mom! Don't hide it. Yes she is pregnant.

Yes, you read it right - we are expecting. Notice the baby counter on the top right:). My appetite is actually worse - I have to eat to curb the nausea. Too bad!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! Wishing you strength in the coming months!
ReplyDeletewell, CONGRATS! Very exciting! What's your EDD?
