Highly unproductive slug

No receipes, no pictures, no reviews...none at all.
There has been no culinary adventure lately.....
and I think there wouldn't be for the next month or so too..
All because....this chef has lost all her healthy appetite for food.
And why is this so...because this chef is found to be expecting her first babe!

The 1st trimester is really hard on all the womenfolk....the price of motherhood.
I used to cringe in horror when I heard tales of morning sickness and the damages done to a woman's body during pregnancy from my sister and relatives and I used to think I would never want to go through this pain and suffering.
But God apparently has other plans for me.
I am now 10 1/2 weeks pregnant.

And this little fellow in my belly is already creating havoc in my life.
Nothing seems to appeal to me, fish fillet makes me sick, oily food makes me sick, everything makes me sick. The only thing which is relatively safe to consume now is a rather plain salad, with french dressing. No cream allowed. No diary food allowed. All creams and cheese makes me want to visit the toilet bowl.
I have also lost all my energy. All I want to do these days is lie down and rest or nap. I sleep terribly early. Staying up for Desperate Housewives is a major exercise for me!

However, despite my many complains...I think about this little life inside of me and marvel at the magic of having a little one growing inside me. I wonder who he/she will look like. Me or daddy and the other night, i could see myself cuddling the baby to sleep...I think maternal instinct is slowly but surely kicking in...
