Throughout my pregnancy I haven't had too many weird or odd cravings. As a matter of fact I have had a really hard time getting in touch with food all together. Nothing has really sounded good, except salad with Ranch dressing and bacon bits, Kashi Go Lean cereal, fruit, and the occasional dessert after we finish with dinner at a restaurant. And for those of you who know me...salads and veggies are not how I normally roll. Danny and I joke all the time that Everly is going to be a little health nut and lecture us about our junk food habits.
Since about mid-way through the 2nd trimester I have been suffering from fierce heartburn and an upset stomach any time I eat something greasy. While I roll around in misery and run to the bathroom every 10 minutes, Danny always laughs and says that this is Everly's way of kicking all the trash out of her condo.
In the last few weeks a new trend has started with my cravings though. They are gross and I know they are not the best options, but dammit it is hard to deny a pregnant woman's cravings. I am trying to practice moderation but if I said that I didn't think about the two items below every time we talk about food then I would be lying. Are you ready...
1. A chili cheese dog, with mustard, in a pretzel bun from Wienerschnitzel. OMG! I swear it is the most delicious thing I have eaten throughout this entire pregnancy. And guess what? I don't think Everly minds it either because it is one of the only unhealthy choices I have made that she doesn't beat me up from the inside out when I eat it.
2. A Slurpee from 7-11. Usually these drinks are way too sweet for me but for some reason I have been craving crushed ice the last couple of weeks. And since I have not been able to find one restaurant in this town with respectable crushed ice I have to get my crushed ice fix by freezing a Slurpee. After about 2 hours it turns into the yummiest crushed ice treat EVER!
Ok...so there you have it...my latest guilty pleasures. All of this talk about food is making me hungry. I bet you can't guess what I am going to eat for dinner?!!?
Before I go though I want to list the top foods that Everly hates so I can bribe her with this information when she gets older and does not want to eat her vegetables. I already have my speech down, "Oh no, young lady, you can't have the french fries with your Happy Meal. You must get the apple slices instead. I seem to recall a time in my life when you punished me any time I ate something yummy like french fries so I am sure you really want the apple slices." Ha Ha! Who am I kidding? :)
1. Movie Theater Popcorn - This used to be my all time favorite treat until I got pregnant. I tried to eat some when we went to see the Hangover 2 on my birthday and I ended up having to run out of the theater during the last scene! Grrrr!
2. Pizza - Before I got pregnant I could eat pizza every day! Now it makes me so sick I can hardly stand it. :(
3. French Fries - Hot french fries used to be one of my favorite guilty pleasures! These days I would much rather have a baked potato.
