Cravings with a side of nausea
So every year since the family is together we celebrate my father's birthday on Thanksgiving and I make his cake, whatever he wants. My SO also has his birthday around now so it was a double celebration (but my father still gets his choice! Seniority!) This year the cake was carrot cake and I finally found a recipe that I feel is exceptional. My symptoms were mostly in control yesterday and I brought along dinner mints so it wouldn't be odd with me constantly eating mints to control my occasional nausea because we aren't telling anyone yet. But today is an entirely different story! I've spent the day severely dizzy and nauseous and craving. .. more of that carrot cake! Finally I work up the nerve to stand at our tiny counter and start baking... occasionally throwing up a tiny bit into the sink as I go. I guess a pregnant girl's gotta do what she's gotta do. We can pretend cake #2 is for my love but who are we kidding? It's all mine!
