a turning point; MEAT

 

last night was a huge turning point for me in this pregnancy

last night marked the first time since december (yes i said DECEMBER) that i could walk into the meat department at the grocery store.  for the past 4 months i would walk to the end of the isle cover my nose, divert my eyes,  and run into the next isle.  i didn't look or smell for fear that if i did, i would loose it in the grocery store. 

let's face it... no one wants to see a dry heaving person, pregnant or not, in the grocery store where they are shopping for dinner.  so, since december, JD has been our meat shopper and meet preparer.  once the meat started cooking i was fine for the most part.  to be completely honest, he really helped with food preparation for most of the first three months since my belly didn't really like food at all. 

so there i was last night, in the meat isle, standing with hamburger and chicken in my hand and then it came to me.... wait i have meat in my hands and i don't feel the need to run out of the store for fresh air!  yippie...

oh the little joys in life... i can buy meat again.  now if only i could pick up dog poop, then i could take the crazy dogs for a walk by myself again.  well maybe that isn't such a bad thing!
