Mother of Life, Mother of Loss: Food Preferences

This blog is just about my life and mostly revolves around my son, Jamie. This blog is a combination of everything, whether it may be a new recipe I tried, a good freebie I found, something funny Jamie said, or feelings I'm having about life in general. There's little rhyme or reason. I'll never win any blogging awards, but I enjoy writing about our lives and I mostly do it for my son. It's so easy to forget moments over the years. I've got all these little tidbits of our life in print and I hope that someday Jamie can enjoy them.

I called this blog Mother of Life, Mother of Loss because of my issues with pregnancy loss and the joy of finally bringing this wonderful person into the world. Truly, I feel the pains of loss, but you won't see too much of that here. I am blessed and I am, above all else, a mother of life.

After all the years of infertility and loss, Matthew and I were blessed with a surprise pregnancy. We were pregnant with twins, but unfortunately, Baby A could not stay with us. Baby B grew into a healthy and happy baby girl that we named Bella Marie. We are so blessed to have two beautiful children.

Food Preferences

Do you think that babies really develop their main food preferences in the womb? I do. The more time passes, the more he eats like I did when I was pregnant. He got up this morning demanding cheese with mustard for breakfast. When I was pregnant I ate cheddar cheese dipped in mustard all the time. He loves spicy foods. I ate a lot of spicy foods when I was pregnant. He loves hot and spicy pork rinds, which I ate a lot when I was pregnant since I was on a carb restricted diet.
