j bought me a delicious sandwich from this pizza place we go to every other week. they sell large pizzas for really cheap every tuesday, so that's been our default tuesday meal. being pregnant, i had a hankering for anything OTHER than pizza, so he bought me a delicious omelet sandwich. i gobbled up half, setting the other half into the fridge for lunch the next day.
next day, i unwrapped the sandwich- and there, flattened between the wax paper and the bun, was a 1 1/2 inch orange roach. my first thought- had i missed something in other sandwiches i'd eaten there? were the pizzas always so reliable? i immediately brushed the roach-infested-tasty-sandwich in the garbage. in retrospect i could have used it to demand my money back, but i don't even want to step foot in that pizzeria again. and what if all they did was invite me to get a replacement sandwich? it was bad enough i had several clients to meet with after that. during these meetings, i kept having flashbacks of that gigantic bug who'd probably begun eating my lunch. and who knows what was in the other half the sandwich? the sandwich i ate???
now my stomach churns at the thought of food. i choke it down because i have to, but ... ew. and i have a stomach of iron. is it the pregnancy? or is it seeing a bug in a bite that was intended for my personal digestion?
disgusted am i.

That's terrible! There's something about being pregnant that makes it worse though. I've eaten bad food before and it was no big deal, but when I was expecting my second kiddo, I ate a Church's Chicken. It was the first and last time. It was so gross. Maddie is 8 now and I still get a little queasy if we even drive by a Church's.
ugh. i hear you. it took me a week to feel like eating hot foods again. and even then, i kept imagining a horrible crunch. food foibles during pregnancy seem to last a lifetime.
...shudder...
