Mexican food and pregnancy dont mix

I don't think I have had too many cravings throughout my pregnancy. The biggest craving I have had is Mountain dew voltage. Its the new blue mountain dew that tastes like raspberry's. I was in love with it for months and then I just started drinking regular mountain dew. Taco Bells mountain dew was the best. I know how weird that sounds bc you would think that its just normal mt. dew that you can buy from any store. I am not so sure about this, actually I am almost 100% convinced they have put crack in the mountain dew bc I have been so addicted. Sadly I have not had any mt dew products for over 2 weeks, I am giving my love up so that I wont keep gaining extra unnecessary weight. I still have 2 months left and I am terrified of gaining any more.


Another thing that I have wanted is Mexican food. I love burritos and chips and salsa!! It makes me very happy and I want it all the time. Along with Buffalo Wild Wings chicken wraps which I am also completely obsessed with! So back to the Mexican food...

My husband and I lived in Texas for about 2 years and we were very spoiled when it came to Mexican food bc there are so many amazing authentic restaurants in Texas. I mean there are alot of Mexicans around. So when we moved back we tried the local Mexican restaurants and they didn't even come close to the ones in Texas. It still doesn't keep me away though.


My hubby had the day off yesterday and I have been begging him for weeks to take me out for some Mexican cuisine. He finally caved in and said yes even though he hates the local Mexican restaurants. Of course that made me very happy bc I have been wanting it for so long! So we walk in and I notice that there is no AC on and it is hotter inside than out. It was scorching hot. Probably like 85 or 90 degrees. For a woman who is 7 months pregnant it felt like 100 degree! I was miserable as soon as we took our seats in the last booth all the way in the back. I complained a little to my husband about how hot it was but the complaining got alot worse when they brought out the chips and salsa. The salsa had no flavor and no amount of salt could help it either and the chips were very stale. I begged him to leave bc I wanted out of that place. He wouldn't let me leave bc I had been wanting this for so long and he kept telling me well maybe the food will be better.

So we get our entrees and it was worse than I thought. It was just a plate of nasty beans and rice and my taco were soggy. Everything tasted bad! So we left with me being very unhappy and I am actually surprised I made it home in one piece. I had the worst stomach pains on the way home and I even warned my husband that if he didn't hurry it up he will be sorry. I was sick most of the night and my love for Mexican food is ruined. I guess that just leaves Bdubs for the rest of my pregnancy. Its crazy how much your body changes during pregnancy. I never had a problem eating anything before and now its the complete opposite.

If I eat just a little bit a cheese I am constipated for what feels like a week, if I eat something spicy I am on the toilet the rest of the night. No matter what I eat I have heartburn all day long. It will be a relief when I don't have to worry about it anymore. It doesn't keep me away from my cravings though. Theres not much I have craved but the one things I do crave I eat all the time. I don't want anything else. Its kind of weird bc you would think I would be sick of the same stuff, but I'm not. I am just so irritated at this place for ruining my week to go where I want to go eat. Whats even worse is that my husband kept saying "I told you so" and " we should have had chinese". It was very annoying....

I have a dr apt tomorrow! Cant wait to see how much I have gained in just 2 weeks. Feels like 10 pounds! It's never ending!
