Okay, so just writing this post is making me a little pale, but I will take one for the team!GranMama and I spent a girls' weekend together the last weekend in September 2009, which had been long awaited for. At this time, I was about six weeks pregnant and beginning to notice some changes. Of course, now looking back, the changes were so minimal it's funny. I did tire a bit quicker than usual, but it was still a fun, amazing weekend.
We took advantage of the Atlanta City Pass, which took us to...- The Coca-Cola museum (hmmm, a caffeine overdose during pregnancy...good call)
- Aquarium
- Atlanta Zoo
- CNN Center (we had way too much fun)
- Atlantic Station (our favorite pastime...SHOPPING)
and...drum roll please...
- California Pizza Kitchen
...which leads me to the title of this post. While no physical changes have taken place too much at this point, other than the sore boobs and constant belly aches which felt like a life-long period, my sense of smell and taste had soared through the roof. Did I mention constant hunger? That being said, I couldn't wait to indulge in a freshly-made Hawaiian BBQ Chicken pizza...while GranMama opted for the Garlic Chicken Pizza.
Pizza 1: SCRUMPTIOUS Pizza 2: GAG ME
19 weeks later, I am still unable to smell, eat, think about, see, or even talk about (hence the pale face mentioned earlier) chicken or garlic without feeling nauseous or experiencing gag reflex! And don't mention that above-mentioned restaurant...same reaction. Nuts?! Let's just say I had a bad experience with those earlier, too, and I still have to turn the channel when I see a nut commercial. Now, wrap those bad boys in chocolate and we're talkin'!
The moral: cravings (and non-cravings) are as true and intense as those books tell you they are. I just pray that one day I will be able to eat those items post-pregnancy. If not, we know who to thank *GranMama*. However, I would go through
