yummy yummy in my tummy

I was curious to know the biggest cravings women get while they are pregnant.

I have heard everything from McDonald's (evie), Banana Cream Pie (sarah) to Good N Plenty Candy (mom) and a bunch more very bizarre things.

The biggest cravings from all the preggos are sugary cravings, dairy products, spicy foods, sour fruit and salty snacks. That explains a lot then...

What were your biggest cravings during pregnancy? Any 'I must have it now' moments?

My cravings are for sour and sweet, especially candy like Sweet Tarts and jelly beans and also lots of purple grapes (guess i am still getting my dose of red wine!) I usually drink a lot of water, and what pregnant woman doesn't, but I now have been wanting Diet Root Beer and Cream Soda. Something a little different! And anything flavored with carbonation, without the sugar and caffeine. Flavored seltzers are great. And the biggest one, cereal. I consume it by the box. ahh, it's that sweet spot for me. atleast for today.

I've been doing more research on baby shower items. Since we'll be having the baby in Panama, many of the items I will need to get here, because of size- and many things will be great to get while I am home. Clothes, clothes and more clothes. :-) As I have been out and about in Panama, I have noticed some very cute baby stores, baby clothes, and baby items. But it will be great to get many of the items and bring some back. I can't wait for my mom to come visit on Friday. It will be her first trip to Panama, we can look for baby stuff and have some fun girl time!

I am not a fan of clothes shopping while being pregnant, atleast not trying the clothes on. Your body changes so much during pregnancy, and although I am not huge or popping at the seams (yet...) it is still not fun trying on items and having nothing (repeat: nothing) fit. Whether it's the ribs, the boobs, the belly or just plain uncomfortable, my new shopping philosophy is to just buy it. I can try it on once it's home and if it doesn't fit, where it later on or after baby, but it's very difficult to go shopping. Maybe once I find a maternity store, then I can find some items that are made for emotional, hormonal, big bellied women!
