McDonald's who? Wendy's is all the rage, baby! So, okay, we're not huge fast food people-mostly subway-but sometimes, Wendy's (I'm not counting the wonderous 'quick' mexican places like Chipole and Moe's-yuuuum). We've been told by people, and I have read, that when you're pregnant, what you eat can influence what your baby will like for the rest of their life (or most of their childhood years at least)! As I've confessed before, with Avery, I really craved Wendy's a lot-mostly fries and frosties (btw-they have phenomenal frostie shakes!!). Artie would pick it up for me on his way home from work multiple times a week towards the end-no joke! Well, forget the golden arches, Avery knows a Wendy's when she sees one! I know she's young, but it is her absolute favorite. She gets so darn excited when we go there and even more excited to see her beloved chicken nuggets. We ran there for a quick lunch this weekend before hitting the store (it's always best to grocery shop with a full stomach!). She is always the best girl when we're at a Wendy's. You all know we are in a phase with her right now where she doesn't do well in public-Wendy's is the exception!! Now, as a vegetarian, I don't eat meat-including chicken nuggets-so I didn't eat those during my pregnancy either, but they are here favorite. However, I know where she gets her love of french fries:) With this pregnancy, I'm not really craving anything-thankfully no need for all of those fries (I happily eat baked potatoes at Wendy's instead of fries these days)-but the one thing that sounds good all of the time is mexican! Anything I can pair with lettuce, sour cream and tomatoes-but mostly enchiladas and taco pizza. I wonder if my son will love eating mexican food because of all of the mexican I have consumed this pregnancy! I even have Artie craving it and we eat it a few times a week!! Thankfully, we make a lot of mexican at home-so I'm having 'healthy' mexican:) I don't know if any of you have experienced this, but it just seems amazing to me!
In other mundane news-but rather exciting to me-Artie and I had teeth cleanings today and I'm happy to report no cavities!! I'm very cavity prone and always excited when I have a clean bill from my dentist!! A few years ago (after having a very traumatic 3 cavity diagnosis in one visit), I switched my toothpaste to sensitive without whitening and ACT mouthwash-what a difference, just in case anyone has sensitive teeth that affects their enamel like me!! I haven't had a cavity in 5 years:)! Though having a teeth cleaning while nearly 7 months pregnant is not only uncomfortable, my gums hurt like crazy-darn those tender gums when you're pregnant. I'm a very huge advocate of regularly seeing your dentist-so if you haven't in a while, what are you waiting for??!!!
How did I just write so much about nothing?? Oh well, have a great rest of the week!
P.S. Christine-thank you for the heads up about pink eye...I'm on the lookout and I hope Elizabeth does not get it!! Hope Jen's doing okay:)!

I love, love, love those pigtails!! And you just got me wanting Wendy's desperately....lol. I totally agree though- Mexican food is just the best:) We have gone through cartons and cartons of sour cream and guacamole these past few months....yum.
C:)
I love Avery's pigtails. So cute! I, too, really love Wendy's frostys. Lucky for me there isn't a fast food joint outside of Subway and Panera within 1 mile of our apartment. It takes too much effort to lug two kids that far for a shake. I get on Mexican kicks once the morning sickness leaves too. Not sure what it is about pregnancy and sour cream.
Congrats on healthy teeth. I hated having cleanings when pregnant. You are a brave girl.
I am going to have to hold off reading blogs with food in it....
This all day sickness stays with me the first trimester.
But I did crave Mexican with both the boys- i am looking forward to craving something soon- and not being nauseous:)
I totally feel you on the fast food- we are the same- not counting Chipotle and Panera- but I was craving only Wendy's when I was prego- it is the BEST!! Love the pigtails just like everyone else!!
