My dad is German and I found a stash of those very kitty's paws you mention when I was staying with him early pregnancy. It's the only thing that I could stomach for a few days! I really really really miss sushi and brie. Wine I'm with you - all or nothing. Hope it's going well.

As for the "as I said so" - I never thought about that benefit to the complete dependency stage. :)<BR/><BR/>As for brie, my understanding is that the problem is only if it's unpasteurized - and most if not all sold in the US has to be. I haven't gone looking, though.<BR/><BR/>Beach Bum - Sure! Fun!<BR/><BR/>And yes, Lemmonex did a very nice job with the questions.<BR/><BR/>VVK - OK, definitely!<BR/><BR/>Sarah - I am glad. It's helpful for me to know that. I don't need a ton of caffeine, but a cup makes my day a lot better.<BR/><BR/>saratogajean - I know it's a very particular taste.<BR/><BR/>Wendy - OK, cool!<BR/><BR/>I just fret. I'd feel terrible if anything happened. And recently Betty got me all worried about liver flukes. She's stopped eating raw fish entirely for that reason.<BR/><BR/>Cheryl - I am glad to hear that. Yes - it's totally the little people part that fascinates me.<BR/><BR/>I don't feel constrained by the cheese - cheese is low on my list of things to miss. As for sushi and Japan, it's really interesting - I bet this list varies widely culture to culture.<BR/><BR/>And I assumed you weren't a lush. But I wouldn't judge.<BR/><BR/>J - I've just stopped being completely grossed out by fish (although my aversions depend on the day) so I am trying to step it up.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous - I love it. That is completely adorable. We have a couple things like that that we say from my childhood. I love things like this.<BR/><BR/>Rough Edges - OK, excellent! And black licorice is not popular in this country, but so delicious!<BR/><BR/>mary - That's actually very interesting. I hadn't thought about the non-verbal cues (almost wrote cutes).<BR/><BR/>Alex - Absolutely I will! Fun!<BR/><BR/>As for the baby kick, I will definitely share. I'll be really excited when I actually feel something pregnanty that gives me proof there's a baby in there, rather than just thick and fat.Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-27365107519111375962009-01-27T20:39:00.000-05:002009-01-27T20:39:00.000-05:00Ooo!

Fun.<BR/><BR/>Re pregnancy deprivations, I know I'm in the minority, but I see no reason to cut out sushi, as long as it's fresh and you get it from a reputable place. There's nothing about sushi that's any more dangerous when you're pregnant than when you're not pregnant. I ate sushi the entire time I was pregnant. I also never gave up coffee. Just my two cents. :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14574959237959082661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-63336270795912850312009-01-27T14:19:00.000-05:002009-01-27T14:19:00.000-05:00Salty black licorice?
