Pineapple, Broccoli, Potatoes, Cheese and Chips

So most women get over their morning sickness by the end of their first trimester.  I'm cruising into the 2nd trimester very very soon with no end in sight of the sickness.  It's not only your traditional nausea, I also have this nice aversion to most food.  Today I woke up and started breakfast with some pineapple.  Fruit always seems to go down.  I was fine until just recently.  Then the dreaded lunchtime.  The worst part of the day for me. 

I can't find anything that doesn't automatically make my stomach churn.  It's already churning because I'm hungry and now I'm in a time crunch to feed the monster before it gets me.  So I look in the pantry and see that I have a can of potato and broccoli soup.  Creamy, warm, easy on the stomach.  So I'm relieved and I heat it up.  When it comes out I begin eating it and it doesn't taste like either potatoes OR broccoli.  So I think... Cheese.  Cheese always makes things better.  So I add a good amount of cheese to it.  Take a bite.  My entire stomach does a roll.

So the soup goes into the dog bowl.  Gus is so excited!  Back to the pantry for me.  The problem now is that the entire house smells like the soup.  My stomach is still empty and still churning.  So I see that I have some tortilla chips.  I'm out of the traditional "soda crackers" so I figure close enough.  I eat a few and they seem to be ok.  So of course I add cheese and have some nachos.  I eat a few of those and the stomach rolls again.  Maybe the baby doesn't like cheese today?  

So now I'm lying here on the couch contemplating my options.  There aren't any.  Today is just going to be one of those days where nothing will satisfy the child.  That's how I know it's gotta be a girl.  Aren't boys more decisive and on top of that, won't they eat anything?
