Taco Bell

I can't believe I haven't posted this on my blog yet. It's not like it's some big secret. I think I hoped I'd come up with some fun and creative way of announcing it, but that's not likely to happen, so I'll just tell you:

About three weeks ago at 10:15 in the morning I found myself in the parking lot of a Taco Bell, eating a chicken soft taco smothered with mild sauce. I think the last time I had Taco Bell was 2007. That was only because we had just moved into a new house and Franny was hungry for tacos and the kitchen hadn't been unpacked yet. Prior to that the last time was probably sometime when I was in college. So as I sat eating Taco Bell in the parking lot at 10:15 in the morning (I was too embarrassed to ask if I was their first customer of the day, but I assumed I was), I thought to myself, "Pregnancy is so weird."

Lucky for me, now that I'm out of the first trimester, I'm craving fruits and vegetables and NOT the same food I ate when I was in junior high. Phew.

Expecting A BOY in November!

    Congrats! That is so funny! Taco Bell is also my cue to know when I am pregnant. I would never eat/crave it otherwise. That's how I usually break the news to Dave, I just have to say, " I went to the Taco Bell drive thru today.."

    Totally get it... I was eating Del Taco in my first trimester at 930am and is was NOT a breakfast burrito. I must also mention I had puked 2 seconds before pulling into the drive thru. Pregnancy is Soooo weird! I havent touched fast food since.

    Two updates on the blog?! Good work!

    Wish we were together to talk "pregnant" talk again. That was always so fun for me. Hope you're feeling better.

    Sad that I won't be able to visit you in the hospital but super excited to see your little boy (and your girls...and you and Bobby) 6 months after he's born! Yay for graduation and being able to see friends!!!

    Once in a great while Taco Bell really hits the spot. Other times...not so much.

    My cue is filet-o-fish from mcdonalds. Or any other fast food joint that has a fish sandwich that we all know probably contains zero amount of actual fish. But for you to crave any kind of fast food?! Wow. Pregnancy really does a number on you!!

    Congratulations!! I went to Taco Bell at 10 in the morning quite a few times with this last pregnancy:) The chicken burrito hit the spot. haha, it was the first thought that came to my mind when I started reading the post. How fun you are having a boy:) He is lucky he will have so many little mamas to take care of him.
