The food bit me back

So tomorrow my parents should be here, God willing. They are starting from home in a few hours and it is a LONG flight which should get them here midnight tomorrow. I am very excited about their coming, but am also ashamed to admit that I am very much looking forward to all the food they are bringing. It is not really a pregnancy craving, just general home food craving. I have them all the time.

I had a rough Sunday with food poisoning. It was the most sick I have ever been in my life. Even two days later, I am still feeling kind of weak. I don't know what the culprit is. I am thinking it is a doughnut I ate Sunday morning. But apparently, no one else who ate that had any issues. So, who knows? I lost 7 pounds in the last two days. At 37 weeks, I am at 118 pounds. I am keeping myself hydrated all the time. Hopefully, I will bounce back soon.

So the anticipation of all the food is also a result of deprivation, I guess. Or, that is what I keep telling myself.

Donut, that's weird. Your wheat issues aren't resurfacing, are they?

I know what you mean about home cooking (at least the emotional aspect of it). Even though my mother cooks completely differently than I do (health-wise) and I had to start from scratch educating her how to cook gluten-free, there is still something about your mom cooking for you. I enjoyed my last visit home. :)

Sounds more like a stomach virus than food poisoning. Take care! I'm glad your mom will be there not only to cook for you, but also to take care of you. I don't know about you, but when I'm sick, I like to have my Mama!

Enjoy your time with the parents!
