the combo you never thought possible

I've already mentioned here how my weirdo brand of morning sickness for the month of June was a combination of alternately then simultaneously feeling nauseous and starving. And not a fun kind of starving either--not the kind where you really enjoy stuffing a cheeseburger in your face. It was this gnawing, dizzying, and yes, nauseating kind of starving. I'd eat a regular dinner, then hit 11 p.m., be ready to go to bed, and suddenly be starving again. I'd wake up in the middle of the night and be so hungry I couldn't sleep. 

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my official pregnancy sponsor for the month of June: Cheerios. I have not eaten this many Cheerios since I was a child. I'm talking at least a box a week, and at least three to four bowls a day. I'd eat them first thing in the morning (then have a regular breakfast), between meals, before bed, and in the middle of the night. I was starving, yes, but I didn't want any particular kind of food--most food was unappetizing when I thought about it (cupcakes aside). But Cheerios are just the right blend of bland and satisfying.
