Cravings

I have always heard women talk about their craving while pregnant but I never understood what they meant until now. I don't crave much in fact, I went from being super hungry in my first trimester to being moderately hungry in my second trimester. I do still need to eat every few hours but its not like I feel the need to shovel it in anymore. But as weeks go buy there is two foods I really do enjoy. The first is eggs. I can't seem to get enough eggs. I have been taking the croissants from Costco and and making an egg with cheese. I could eat those every morning. I don't but I could. Then I have been finding that peanut butter and raspberry jelly on croissant (toasted) is pure heaven!!! I also enjoy pepperoni pizza slices and a ton of fruit. I have eaten every berry known to mankind. I could, in fact, turn into a blueberry, like in Willy Wonka.

The one food that is totally unappetizing is CHICKEN. The very thought of chicken makes me want to vomit. Now the only exception is I think I could eat a million chicken McNuggets from McDonald's. I say think, because the billboards for the 50 piece McNugget pack look amazing each time I see them. I haven't tried it yet. I am afraid I will get one whiff and Moses will have to eat 50 McNuggets. Though I am sure he wouldn't mind.

Instead of Chicken I have been eating a lot a beef which is weird because i have spent the last few years trying to limit my beef intake and have thus eaten a ton of chicken. Another food I sometimes crave are cheeseburgers but I am not sure if that is the baby or just me. Because non-pregnant me loves cheeseburgers. I guess this kid is mine. We are sharing a love of cheeseburgers. I try not to get those too often because burger plus cheese means one full bloated belly and that sucks. When the belly is bloated it feels like I am carrying around a bowling ball!

Milk is one thing I have to drink everyday which I can't wait until it can stop! Can you say lactose intolerance? I drink skim milk which isn't too bad when I normally have it in cereal (in non-pregnancy) but now that I have to drink two large glasses a day its somewhat painful, or should I say, gassy. The only thing milk is good with I found is Oreos and Little Debbie Nutty Bars. Man, have I forgotten how good those Nutty Bars can be!!!

I have signed up for this site called WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU ARE EXPECTING based on that popular book everyone reads and man you should see the ladies on that forum talk about food cravings. They post pictures and everyone drools. Its like food porn. It must be what Toby feels like everyday?!?! Anyhow, the food part of pregnancy is pretty fun. I can't wait to see what this kid wants next?
