Increased appetite

My appetite has changed recently. It seems that I get hungry easily and I can almost finish my entire meal. And in between meals, I take little bites (eg cereal, fruits, biscuits, yogurt or sweets). When it's near to lunchtime, many times, I already know what I want to eat. And after lunch, I find it such a joy to indulge in a cup of yogurt. I have been having yogurt for a week straight and I'm in love with it :)  I realised that it helps to curb the nauseousness very well.

Hubby said that's because all along I have been starving the baby and now baby is back to revenge. Haha. It's good that I can eat better now but I still have to eat slowly so that I can digest well. I always have remind myself not to rush while eating and that I have to eat slower than my normal speed.

Lately, we chose not to eat at home too often because my father-in-law / maid's cooking is too salty. Hubby has been quite nice. He orders more 清淡 dishes when eating out with me and will suit my appetite. At times, he comes home too late for dinner (8pm) and I couldn't eat much as my bedtime is 9.30 pm.

I've just done a "research" on some of the food to avoid during pregnancy.
