Cravings, Aversions, and food- oh my!

I've found the last few weeks especially that I have really needed lots of fluids to keep from being nauseous and also stay dehydrated. However, one problem that I've had is that I can't drink much water before getting nauseous or at least an upset stomach. WEIRD! I used to drink so much water everyday that it's hard for me to resist it and always try to find something else. Especially when you add to that fact that I now cannot drink MILK! I love milk, but during pregnancy I become somewhat lactose intolerant- meaning not drinking milk (it can be in things), eating ice cream, large amounts of cheese (like a grilled cheese sandwich is too much), or anything else with tons of dairy. It makes me sad since we eat So much dairy at our house- my husband is a MAJOR fan of it! I feel like I take in SO much sugar just through my drinks, does anyone have any better suggestions to keep myself hydrated (especially if I've been vomiting)?? I have been drinking these liquids lately:

100% juice, mainly orange juice sounds good
kool-aid
powerade or gatorade
quality ginger-ale
and occasionally lemonade
I'm going to try buying lemons and just drinking lemon water because I really like that usually, it adds flavor so maybe the water won't make me sick, and no sugar! Did I also mention that citrus scents on my hands is one of my FAVORITES? And my outlet air fresheners right now are lemon- I think I'm officially on a kick.


Next, I just want to remember all the wierdness this pregnancy has brought in the way of food, so for my sake I'm documenting all major cravings and aversions.

AVERSIONS
*chicken-everything about it
*dairy- makes me sick but sometimes I still want a glass of milk I have to avoid
*anything too saucy
*cold cut sandwiches
*pizza- it tastes good, but makes we weary cause I've thrown it up half the time I've had it
*any room that is stuffy or too hot

CRAVINGS
*breakfast foods made of bread (pancakes, french toast, biscuits, toast, bagels, crepes, waffles etc.)
*DOUGHNUTS! This is so weird cause I can totally usually avoid them, I'd much rather have a brownie or cookies or something else! I might eat them twice a year if they're given to us or something, but I've gone to a local doughnut shop twice in the last two weeks and bought WAY too much! haha

*salad or cut veggies with dip- I have to be careful with this one though, cause too many raw veggies hurt my tummy
*pickles-yes, giant kosher dills - we've already gone through a gallon jar, and my mom bought two more!
*fruit, mainly citrus including oranges, lemons, and limes, but I've branched out to berries too now and will eat most fruit.
*fried green tomatoes- YUMMY!
Mexican food- ALL OF IT, even chimichangas at 10 am!!!


I never really had cravings with Caleb, just foods I asked for cause I knew I could keep them down! In fact, I couldn't handle citrus at ALL so this pregnancy has been MUCH different!
