Pregnant Women and Buffets, perhaps not?

Today was Jooae’s 29th birthday (her real 29th birthday - Lucy you know what I am talking about - though she would still probably claim she is in her mid-twenties). Anyway, as is often our birthday custom, we went to Todai - a sushi, seafood, and Japanese-esque buffet joint - which gives a free meal on your birthday. It was a little rough for Jooae since the main thing she likes to get there is sushi, which, if you did not know, is strictly off limits to the pregnant ones. So she had to get other stuff. Now I think I have mentioned before that in normal circumstances Jooae can eat pretty well. I would say that in the past few weeks, her appetite has not only recovered from the horrors of summer ‘morning’ sickness, but shot up a few notches. She is not going crazy or anything, but I would say she is consistently complaining that she is stuffed after eating and thus bloated. So you can imagine it is even worse after a buffet. The following shows just how bad it was even after a few hours post-consumption, and I also just want to get this down in writing, and you all are my witnesses upon reading. Jooae stated the following at 10:33 PM PDT, and I quote, “I am never going to a buffet place again!” Ha, we will see how long that lasts. But seriously, men I am speaking to you here. Though tonight went just fine, I imagine that a pregnant woman at a buffet could be a very disagreeable experience. Just think about it a second. You know all those cravings she has? There they are laid out before her all at once right at her fingertips. It is more temptation than one single woman ought to have to bear. So, just don’t do it guys. Make her a nice supper at home instead. Just a thought.
