You can't play the Mom card - no fair

I am very fortunate in that I have not experienced the common pregnancy symptoms. No morning sickness, no nausea, not even peeing a lot. Watch, once I put this in writing, all hell will break loose.

One thing that I am going through is some strange eating behavior (for me, at least).
Normally, I hate fruits and vegetables. I mean, really hate them, and I don't eat them. But lately, I'm on a fruit kick. At least it's a healthy kick, right? It's almost likely I'm thirsty, and the only thing I really want to eat is cold fruit - apples, melons (and I'm normally not a cantaloupe person), cherries, clementines. And not just a little - like half a melon in one sitting!

But lately, I am also just not that hungry. Especially at dinner time. The thought of Scott making a nice dinner is really a shame, because all I really can eat before I am full is one salad plate of food. Even rice - one helping, not my usual 5. And when Scott suggests going out to dinner, I have been telling him to pick the place because there is really nothing that I am dying to eat (except sushi, go figure). And he hates picking a place to go eat - so I still usually end up picking the place.

Last night, after Scott named about 15 places to go, I decided on Fudrucker's. Once we get in there, nothing really looks appetizing. So I settle on the Kid's Cheeseburger Meal (because I want something that is less than a 1/2 pound of meat). BTW - Adults get screwed when ordering a kid's meal at Fudrucker's. Even though it says it comes with a cookie, drink and fries - they make you pay for the drink because you are an "adult". Whatever. Even with this being a kid's size meal, I manage to eat about 3/4 of the burger before being full. I even shared my cookie with Scott!

And I also made the mistake of telling Scott that I skipped breakfast that morning. I was just too busy at work, but at least I had a whole glass of OJ. And he says to me, which I think was kind of mean, " If you don't start eating better, I'm going to tell your mom that you're eating like crap. She'll knock some sense into you". That's low, and not a card you pull out of your pocket too often. I see how the next 7 months are going to be...

BTW - Where did the whole pregnancy is 9 months long come from? They lie - it's really 10. Another advertising gimick to get women to think this isn't going to be that bad.
