Food, Glorious Food!

The cravings are killing me!

At least this time they are cheaper than the last pregnancy.

I MUST have two McD's plain biscuits with honey in the morning.

After that I start to crave any of the following. . .

- Oranges, but not just any orange. A cara cara pink orange. They are in season in winter so I have no idea what I will do when they dissappear from the produce section.

- Cheetos puffs. This craving is mild, I don't need many, but between Jeff and I we can plow through a bag very quickly.

- Chocolate milk. But it has to be the stuff that is premixed and sold as Chocolate milk. For some reason (I'm sure I don't want to know) it tastes better.

- And always ready to sneak up on me is the rare craving for a steak. It is rare, but when it hits. I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!

Of course to go along with this are the foods I feel queasy about eating.

- Eggs. I'm not sure what it is, but I can only stand the thought of hard boiled eggs at this point. None of this scrambled stuff, thank you very much. For some reason even the thought of smelling eggs cooking is enough to make me feel a little green.

- Fish - I thought fish sounded good the other day. Wrong! I'm thinking this is now to be avoided because it did NOT sit well.

I'm thinking the two avoidances are leftover morning sickness things. I once read that some scientists think that morning sickness is an evolutionary thing that is designed to keep mothers from eating foods that could compromise the development of the fetus early on.

And yes, Mimi, you told me this once too. ; )

Maybe I should just give in and drive home quickly to get a travel cup of Chocolate and bring back that Cara cara sitting on the table. . . .
