Morning Sickness

Yesterday marked the first bout with morning sickness and general nausea for E. When I came home from work I could tell it had been a tough day. My choice of leftover hamburger meat, piadina bread, cheese and salsa (basically a makeshift tostada), for dinner left E wanting. She said she couldn't take the smell. She didn't know what she was craving, but it turned out to be pickled herring, dark bread and plain yogurt. On the whole, this isn't a really aromatic meal either, but then I'm not the one with a small peanut quickly growing in me.

I just read in 'The Economist' that a pregnancy diet heavy in Omega-3 fatty acids increased the intelligence of children as well as made them more socially adjusted as adults.... in somma. This makes the pickled herring seem like a decent choice, though I have no idea how much omega-3 it has.

So here's a picture of our fridge and E's pregancy diet (diet in the proper sense, meaning a eating regimen, not so recent fad about how to drop 10lbs so you can put them back on in two months)
