Burritos for Breakfast

So if you're reading this blog, you know that I'm pregnant. If you've also happened to talk to me or email with me in the last week or so, you also know I've had some kind of yucky virus that's basically kept me in bed for the better part of week. Pregnant and sick together is some fun, let me tell you.

On Saturday, I basically didn't get out of bed. I called the ob dr. who was on call because I was having terrible stomach pains and was worried about the baby. He assured me my symptoms sounded like the baby was fine, but that he'd been seeing this bug going around. He told me to just rest as much as possible, eat bland foods and drink lots of gatorade. So that's what I did. Joel was very sweet bringing me whatever I needed, or wanted, which for dinner included Taco Bell. I had him buy me an extra burrito to eat the next day, and that's when the silliness started...

In the middle of the night I woke up hungry so I broke open the burrito and had a few bites. Usually nothing sounds good at this time of night, but for some reason this stale cold burrito tasted SO good. In the morning, I finished the rest of it off for breakfast. It really hit the spot.

Before Joel left to go out of town on Sunday night, I had him go to Taco Bell again, and stock me up on burritos. Both yesterday and today, when I woke up hungry, I thought to myself, what do I want for breakfast? Cereal? No. Eggs? No. Toast? No way! Cold burrito? YES! Apparently this has become the baby's breakfast of choice. Yes, a cold old burrito, with the onions and the red sauce - Yum! Am I pregnant, or what?
