Eating For 2

Cravings...

In my opinion pregnancy cravings have to be one of the strangest things ever! If you are a chocolate lover it is one thing to crave a chocolate sundae or if you are the type of person who loves sour candy then it is pretty understandable for you to crave sour patch kids(which are my personal fav). But pregnancy cravings on the other hand make absolutely no sense!

I am only 13 weeks pregnant and whatever hormone it is that makes women crave random foods that are not normally apart of our daily diet, has definitely gone into effect. If you know me then you know that I don't eat a lot or often.

Well since the baby has come into the pictures my taste buds have definitely changed! I can not stand even the thought of sea food. Shrimp, salmon, talapia, crab & lobster all make me want to puke! Even the smell of sea food brings about a wave of nausea. I am not crazy about sea food. However, I love tuna steaks. Apparently, that has all changed for a while. The only good thing about avoiding sea food is that when you are pregnant, you have to be careful not to consume too much mercury anyways, because it can be dangerous for the baby. I guess I do not have to worry about high levels of mercury since I won't be enjoying any under the sea delights including my fav, just thinking about it now makes me sick. 

Now I am going to talk about a few of my current CRAVINGS!

1) Smoothies: I am craving them daily. Anything with Pineapple.   

2) V8: I never drink V8 but strangely enough, I want it.

3) Orange Juice: it helps easy my nauseous stomach.

4) Cheez-its:  I have no clue why these taste so good.

5) Lucky Charms: I feel like a little girl again :)

6) Pickles:  I guess this is not a bad craving but it is a little random...

7) French Fries: Uh oh...I hope this craving does not last! So far I have given in & ordered fries 4X
