After marriage...then come kids! After over a month of keeping relatively quiet (minus those who have been informed by either my mom or Phil) I figure it's time to make the official announcement! I'm pregnant. As of this week I'm 11 weeks along and looking forward to the second trimester...I hear that after the 12th week morning sickness goes away :) Phil and I are very excited to be parents 6 months earlier than we initially planned...oops!! I do have one very big problem! When I start to feel hungry I know the battle is on! I go to the fridge open it up, look at every ingredient that I have and try to come up with the possibilities, and regardless of how full the fridge is I can't even bear the thought of eating anything other than cream cheese. Now, I can't survive on cream cheese...however I have been unusually creative with it but honestly I need more ideas. Eventually, I'm sure cream cheese will retire like all other ingredients in my fridge but until that day, I need ideas of ways to incorporate it into my meals. Finding something not just appetizing but something that won't make me gag is the goal for now, nutrition will be a concern for the second trimester when hopefully food is not the battle.
Oh...and Phil is not suffering at all...he still gets cooked meals without cream cheese!

Mel, your the funniest!!
CONGRATULATIONS! We have a really good cream cheese-based fondue recipe if you're interested.
Congratulations again! I am so happy for you and happy you are making your announcement! I know exactly what you mean when nothing in a full fridge even sounds good! I like cream cheese on graham crackers or mix with chili and dip fritos in. Here are some recipe ideas!

Hope that 12th week comes soon!

I have a cure for you... My doctor recommended a pill called Unisom. It is a sleeping aid that helps with morning sickness. I didn't want to take it, but he, the doctor who is my stake president, told me to calm down and it would be fine. I did a poll and about 3 gals in my old ward have taken it and their kids don't have extra arms or anything. You can get it at a CVS and make sure it is the small blue pill, not the gel cap. It will save your life! It did mine, and I feel great now! Congrats on the baby! I'm so excited for you! Don't worry, food does become appetizing again.
