Ok, so being pregnant this time around has brought on some major cravings. I have always been a person to get cravings, but never usually this bad. Normally, I think of something that I would like, ie. ice cream or cookies and the craving will diminish if I eat it sometime in the next month. But, my cravings have become so specific and so strong lately. For example, yesterday, I NEEDED to have a juicy steak, garlic mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and apple pie with ice cream for dessert! I wouldn't stop talking about it, so we went to the grocery store and purchased all of said items! In the end, we had a decent steak, regular mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and homeade apple crisp with butter pecan ice cream (it was soooo good). It is so ridiculous, but honestly, I'm almost psychotic about it. The problem is, my cravings usually involve things we don't have and can't easily access, like state fair cheese curds, that I couldn't stop thinking about after we got home from the fair!
Do you have extreme cravings like this? Did you when you were pregnant (if applicable). Tell me about it, because I feel like such a typical crazy preggo and could use some reassurance otherwise!
I get cravings a lot too. I am goign to get you some damn cheese curds when I go back! Do you think they're good slightly reheated??

I remember craving McDonald's double cheeseburgers and KFC. In fact, the weekend I found out I was pregnant we were on our way home from our Father's Day camping trip and I was adamant that we stop at KFC for dinner. We drove for EVER until we finally found an exit that had KFC, and later that night I took a pregnancy test. KFC mashed potatoes.. yum!

Hi Michelle, I didn't have a lot of cravings when I was pregnant, I just liked to eat. Everything. I gained a little over 40 lbs. I did like biscuits and gravy right at the beginning. It's great that you are journaling all of this. You will like to look back and remember.
I have a ton to share...I'll write more later...my grandparents leave tomorrow and I am helping my brother move into his new dorm....we have been super busy!!!!!
Hope you had a great weekend. Loved the fair pic's.
