No Turkey For Me

Today we had Thanksgiving food for lunch. When I saw the menu I was very excited. I was even more excited when I walked in the cafeteria with all those good smells.

:) Side Note: For those of you who don't know, I have not been eating chicken. Since I was about 6 weeks pregnant, I have had a strong aversion to it. In the beginning, I couldn't smell it, think about it, or even say the word without feeling ill. Now I'm better. I can see others eat chicken and feel okay, I'm just not up to eating it myself.

Today I thought I would be able to handle turkey, because it isn't chicken. Well, as soon as I saw it I felt sick. That's okay, there were plenty of side items to fill me up. All the teachers around me at lunch were enjoying the turkey and that did not bother me. I will be fine with the turkey on Thanksgiving Day....I just won't have any on my plate unless this aversion passes. :)

And for those of you who worry.....yes I am getting enough protein. Beef, pork, eggs, beans, cheese, and soymilk don't bother me. Poor Nick misses having chicken for dinner though.
