Dinner Battles

Emily has been blessed not to have been sick thus far in her pregnancy, but one thing that she has battled with is any type of food sounding good to eat. Each day when she comes home for lunch I am at the house waiting for her phone call to let me know what she wants so I can have it ready when she gets here. She seems to have a small window of when she can eat without feeling sick. Today like most days was sweet tomato basil soup. I now keep a minimum of 3 on hand at all times:)
Lunch really hasn't been that bad for her as far as picking something that sounds good. Dinner on the other hand has been a challenge! I always have the ingredients to make at least 3 different things each night and give her the option of what sounds the best. Tonight's options were pork chops, chicken caesar salad (the dressing I make usually has a egg in it but I haven't been putting one in it since she is pregnant and it is still really good) or a chicken breast. She threw a huge curve ball at me tonight and requested that I fry the pork chop. I thought she was joking with me because Emily is not a big fan of fried food but apparently this baby is...HA.

So I set off for the kitchen thinking this could be the turn in the pregnancy I have been waiting for. When I can go back to making whatever I want for dinner cause I know she will like it, just like it was before she was pregnant. I was actually pretty excited as I started prepping everything for dinner because I have never made or even had a fried pork chop. Not a dinner staple growing up in Southern California...lol. Once dinner was ready and plated she sat down at the table and asked me to get her a glass of milk. Before I could get back from the refrigerator she had taken one bite and that was all she could do.


She lovingly looked at me with that sweet face of hers and I knew a trip to Wendy's or Chick fil A was in my future tonight:)

Love,
Emily, Scott and Houston

  1. I was fairly fortunate not to be "sick" during my pregnancies but I had HUGE aversions to food. And white meat was the worst. Hope she gets back to eating things that agree with her soon!
