Food- Friend or Foe?

This house is having a love hate relationship with food lately. Let me just start by saying this pregnancy is soooo different than my last. The nausea (occasional vomiting ewww) and crazy food cravings and aversions are out of control. The nausea is so bad around here I find myself lying in bed most of the day wishing I could just throw up because it might make me feel better. The only time I seem to be feeling ok is when Im actually eating. The time before, after and in between are just awful. Therefore, I seem to be eating all the time. Before pregnancy I would say I was overall a pretty healthy eater. We eat very balanced meals in this house, but now, all of that has been thrown out the window. This weekend in one day I ate a Five Guys cheeseburger (have not eaten one in probably 5 years) and Skyline Chili  (you really would only understand this if you are in cincinnati but its a weird bean less chili that they pour on top of spaghetti with cheese on top, have not eaten this EVER). I keep trying to snack on almonds and fruit but they just don't seem to be cutting it. Im just hoping at my first prenatal appt they recommend some zofran or any other anti nausea medication...please!!!!!

On the other end of the love hate spectrum is my little lady, Avery. She seems to not want to eat ANYTHING lately. For the last two days she has not eaten any breakfast or lunch either day. We can get a few small snacks like fruit snacks in her but not much else. She also will not take her formula for me. This is really concerning for me because someone with a UCD (Urea Cycle Disorder- look HERE for more info) cannot go days without eating because their body will start breaking down its own muscle mass, essentially like eating a big mac or a steak. Since my lil lady can't break down protein this is very concerning. If this continues today Im going to have to call her doc and he will probably want to run some labs to make sure everything is ok. Praying that it doesn't come to this. It seems that my pregnant body has stolen Avery's appetite. Just wishing that things could go back to normal in this house.
