I miss you

It is easier to write a list of things that I can and want to eat, than the tings that I can't.
Apple juice, smoothies (but not yoghurt), ryvita, bread, scones (as in svenska hemkunskapsscones, not stupid English ones), cheese, pizza, bananas, porridge, milk, anything made from potatoes, but especially mashed potato and gnocchi, poppadoms (current favourites) and sparkling water.

And that's about it! Kind of looks like a long list, but when you think about how much is not on that list, it's a lot that I can't, or won't eat. Like tea, chocolate, cream, anything sweet or sugary, normal dinner etc etc etc. I can't stand the thought, smell and taste of ginger, which everyone says is the best thing for morning (and afternoon) sickness. There was me thinking that with pregnancy comes eating for two and stuffing your face and, most of all, enjoying it! I am not! I eat something because I know I have to. Little baby portions, and preferably dry horrible food that taste of nothing. If I could bottle my pregnancy hormone and sell it I would be a very rich lady. It's the best diet ever! When everything looks, smells and tastes disgusting (especially chocolate) it is easy to control yourself.
But I can't wait for the day when I will enjoy food again. People say it will come back, my appetite. I hope so, I miss it. I want to eat for two!
