Week 10

I know that looks like a good bit of progress since Week 8, but I think it’s more about the vast quantities of food I’ve been eating and less about Lorem and Ipsum. For the past two weeks I’ve realized that I need to eat something every two hours at least in order to keep from feeling sick. Some of those things have been carrots and celery and grapes, but some of them have been cheese and crackers, grilled cheese, and macaroni and cheese. And a veeeerrry small number of those things have been McDonald’s cheeseburgers. The really sad thing is that not much of the food tastes particularly good to me. Frankly, I am entirely sick of food in general, but I need to keep eating lots and lots of it or I feel miserable.

Fortunately, Matt has been nothing short of amazing, coming up with new food ideas and cooking me every last thing I could ever want. (This week he’s making me individual homemade chicken pot pies to take to work to reheat at lunch!) And all this food really is a good thing, because weight gain in the first trimester supposedly correlates to a decreased risk of preterm labor with twins. Of course, that might only hold true for people who gained all their weight with lentils and fruit and skim milk; I’m not sure what the science says about processed cheese food.
