My love-hate (mostly hate) relationship with food

I think the more compressed my stomach gets from this pregnancy, the worse off my appetite becomes.  Lately the only things that really seem to taste good are ice-cream and cake - yep the stuff I really don't need to be eating. Last night I was feeling particularly pukey (and did in fact puke).  It makes it very hard for me to plan meals and Thanksgiving meals.  I could eat cream of wheat three times a day and be fine, but I know I have a family to feed.  My poor family.  They can't wait for my post-partum man-sized breast feeding appetite where I can eat anything and everything and still get super duper skinny!  I did buy some yummy 9 grain hot cereal from Great Harvest today.  In fact, I made some for lunch!  Now before you get all impressed by my healthiness, you did not see the butter and brown sugar I put on top!  It was very soothing to my messed up tummy though.  Well, the good news:  I am in the home stretch of this pregnancy.  The bad news is I have to get through some holiday meal planning and some meal planning for company.
