COFFEE, COFFEE, COFFEE...

How I miss you so! Like that delicious Expresso with milk over ice on a hot day or the Hazelnut latte with soy on a crisp cold morning such as today. *sigh* I miss you my little cup of joe! Yes I know, we pregnant people can have a small cup of coffee a day but after all the complications I've had (including my recent scary visit to the hospital), is it really worth it?! So after trying so many (not so yummy) de-caf coffees from around me I had almost lost hope.

Then I was saved by the golden arches! YES...McDonald's! Their regular coffee I don't like much, never tried their iced stuff...but I was also never really interested. When I craved a breakfast sandwich I wasn't looking forward to the lovely heartburn that follows when I drink their orange juice....so I said what the hec..."I'll take a small decaf". Oh those sweet words I spoke might as well have been me asking them to warm chocolate fudge all over me (You chocolate lovers know what I mean!). "OMG" I told myself...this coffee is so good. It tastes so, SO...YUMMY!

Alas! Coffee back in my mornings...like today along with my "deluxe breakfast" all bacon, no sausage (yeah, yeah, save it!) not that it wasn't satisfying but I didn't really see what makes it "DELUXE"?? Now I'm at work, I've eaten my food, I'm drinking my de-caf(and my water), listening to Ana Gabriel...*sigh* I love it!

Hope you all have an awesome Thursday!

Cravings anyone?

It's rare that I get cravings, which I think totally sucks! Aren't I suppose to be milking this whole pregnancy thing? lol...I think my boyfriend gets more cravings than I do. For instance, he's not a drinker...AT ALL. He will MAYBE have a beer on a special occasion because someone won't stop offering it, but since I got pregnant, he craves beer. I thought it was hilarious because he would always give me a hard time about drinking. So I thought it was kinda odd when he came home one Friday with a 6 pack of MGD, you have no idea how much I made fun of him! It took us a while to realize that beer was his sympathy craving because it didn't start until I was preggers.

Anywho, I don't wake up in the middle of the night and crave ice cream and anchovies or anything, the worst I've craved is maybe Macaroni & Cheese with pickles on the side...yummmm! Other than that, I feel like I always have, just 15 lbs heavier. Which brings me to my next point...

According to my doctor I've only gained 15 lbs but I think it's actually 17 since the beginning of my pregnancy, but anywho, that was only because I had lost 6 lbs during my bed rest time. I couldn't eat anything, I craved nothing, didn't have an appetite, didn't really want to look at food. But all is fair and love & war right? And what could be more of a love/hate relationship than the one we have with our scale?! So I'm pretty proud of myself, I haven't used the excuse to blow up =)

Well toodaloo, hasta manana!
