missing certain foods yet?

Okay ladies... Is there any food or drink that you r gonna miss in this 9 month journey? Or longer depending on if it affects nursing... I know its an early question and ill have to ask in bout 7-8 months but anything so far?
For me i already miss soft cooked eggs on toast... I feed my toddler a scrambled egg at least every other day so i was eating eggs quite routinely... Its just not the same cooked well done... Also i wish i had one last drink of arborn mist...i havent had it in over a year but i had decided if this cycle i wasnt prego then i was gonna buy a bottle lol
last pregnancy my planned meal for after was a med rare steak with greek pasta salad with extra feta and a beer and clam!

I miss red bull!! I work overnight shifts and survived on redbull before I found out I was pregnant. Now without the caffeine and added fatigue I struggle to make it through my shifts!!!

definitely alcohol. i wasnt a heavy drinker but i did drink occasionally. it was kind of how i spent my nights away frm toddler number one whenever i had a sitter. i hate wine so thats not an option for me. wish i liked it so i could have a gllass every now and then. SUSHI. like one of my favorite foods. guess i will just have to order cooked sushi from now on, but its not worth it. i actually quit coffee a couple of weeks before i found out i was pregnant. im happy about that because i was drinking a few cups a day.

I'm definitely going to miss a medium steak! Although I have found a way to cook a mean well steak on the BBQ so I'm thinking I will be keeping the BBQ out all winter and will be using it even when it snows.

All food should be cooked well done, including steak, eggs, even hotdogs should be cooked all the way through too(piping hot!)...soft cheese that are not pasturized should be avoided, Canadian feta is USUALLY pasturized but some isnt so when im out at a restaurant i dont get it just incase(when buying, check the package)... should avoid sandwich meats, liver, certain fish(cut you allowed fish down to 2 servings a week)  you should avoid eating raw sprouts, especially alfalfa sprouts when you are pregnant. Raw clover, radish and mung beans should also be avoided(i have no idea what that is but didnt knwo anything about veggies till now) Cooked sprouts are an okay alternative during pregnancy
There are some herbal teas that you should not drink when you are pregnant. Chamomile tea, sage tea, parsley tea, teas with aloe, coltsfoot, juniper berries, pennyroyal, buckthorn bark, comfrey, labrador tea, sassafras, duck roots, lobelia and senna leaves should be avoided during pregnancy
and also make sure the juice your drinking has been pasturized too :)

Its tough reteaching yourself what your allowed to do and what not... its funny i picked up something really heavy today then when i was done... then i thought about it lol oops

For some reason I love McDonald's coke. I rarely drink coke though. I may pick up ice tea I always seem to be extra hooked while pregnant.

I will miss a glass of  wine too.
My last pregnancy I actually ate sandwiches like mad....those are one of the rules I do not follow.
There's so many dumb rules like that now and look at how many children actually come out with problems. Lot's more than when some of them didn't exist!
I'm having morning sickness...it's kicked in yesterday and all day today. So I'm missing food period....bleh.
