The first trimester has been a breeze for me thus far. The wife on the other hand, has been experiencing severe exhaustion, hormonal mood swings, headaches, that
hungover morning feeling minus the enjoyment of a night consuming numerous gin and tonics and ravenous hunger. Non-pregnant wife has always been a small eater, happily subsisting for weeks on nothing but ice chips and lettuce. Pregnant wife on the other hand, can put away the grub. Thus far her predominant pregnancy craving has been
tacos. We actually rolled to
Taco Bell late one night because "Momma had a hankerin'" (the wife last made a
Run For The Border during her junior year of college a decade ago). Last week after our first doctor's appointment, we spent over $30 dollars at
Little Anitas on
just tacos. I pride myself on my
taco consumption and plan on matching the pregnant wife's totals anytime she sends me to an area
taco stand during the wee hours of the morning. This is a sacrifice I am willing to make on behalf of my unborn child. I think this is the definition of unconditional love.
