Cravings or are they?

Thought I would post something kind of minor in comparison to the rest of the blogs, more for my benefit than anything else! lol. I have a horrible memory (I think I did it to myself a long time ago, but that is another story), so if I start to write things down that happens during this pregnancy, I will hopefully remember better for next time ;-)

I have been trying to remember my cravings lately with my kids and comparing the differences.  It's amazing really, how different each pregnancy can be.  Of course, this one is different, due to the fact that this lil one isn't mine, but still.  My three babies, each had their own ideas as to what mommy would crave while pregnant. Devin was lots and lots of chicken and any way I can cook it, which he still eats the most to this day. Ethen was everything in sight. That child was always hungry, even before he was born. Though he did change some of my taste buds. Never was really into mustard, but once I was pregnant with him, that went out the window. He loves anything that revolves around condiments...wait, he just loves food and all that it entails really. He is the only child that isn't picky, like the rest of us (minus David).  Chloe was all about broccoli and potatoes. It's really no wonder she loves french fries!

I haven't narrowed down the cravings as of yet with this one. They keep bouncing really.  Though I will say that I am not into eating my chocolate like I normally am.  Maybe, just maybe, with this pregnancy I won't have that horrible need to have junk food! :-) Wishful thinking, I know, but I can hope. Normally anything chocolate does not last long if near me, but lately it has been lasting longer than normal.  Could be I am just watching my intake better. Also, I have been craving mexican food a lot more lately.  Now, don't get me wrong, I can eat Mexican food just about everyday. I have always loved it. But we are normally really watchful of where we eat out, money wise, so what I normally get is from Taco Bell instead of actual Mexican food....well aside from Freebirds. Freebirds is AWESOME! But if we want to do really cheap, we go to TB.  But I have been wanting the whole shabang when it comes to Mexican, rice, beans, the great seasoning of picadillo or whatever I decide at the time to put on the tacos, or gorditas, or whatever. lol. Even talking about it all, it makes me hungry and want some! lol.

The other thing that has been happening a lot lately is that I have been waking up in the middle of the night, starving! It feels like I haven't eaten anything in the last 24 hrs, which is not true! I have been really good at having 4-5 portions of food a day, of course not huge portions. But that feeling reminds me so much of Ethen, it's kinda funny. I guess something is similar!

Tomorrow I go in for the ultrasound, to make sure everything is okay in there! Working on being extremely positive and hopefully all will be well tomorrow!

Thanks for reading! Have a great one!

  1. I totally remember waking up STARVING with Hannah! I couldn't sleep until I ate something! My midwife says to eat protein in the night because it will stick with you longer and keep you fuller. So keep some nuts next to your bed ;)

  2. Zan, that reminded me of what my midwife told me with Trey... I would wake up starving, and get up and the only thing that sounded edible was rocky road ice cream... She retired to get me to eat half a potato with butter instead... Ha ha ha silly lady, she had no idea who she was dealing with! :-D
