Choked down some vegetables...now can I eat some Mac&Cheese?

For me, the hardest thing lately has been eating VEGETABLES.  I never seem to want them, they look so unappetizing, and when I eat them, they make my tummy unhappy.  Yet, I'm supposed to be eating 9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day so that baby and I are healthy!  Even dipping veggies in hummus or ranch dressing does not appease me.  Cooked vegetables seem a little easier, but also take more time and lose nutrients.  To me, the things I really want to eat are bagels and cream cheese, macaroni and cheese, or even Ramen noodles!  I have little to no interest in healthy things, but I want to be healthy!

So, I do just choke down the veggies.  I don't like it, but it's not about me anymore! It's about this little baby, and doing whatever I can to help baby grow into a healthy, adorable little cutie-pie. I am anxiously waiting my next OB appointment, December 28th...it seems like the last 2.5 weeks have dragged by so slowly, and all I can think about is hearing the heartbeat again, reassuring me that little baby is doing just fine!
