Cravings

People keep asking what cravings I've been having. I was going to take a picture to post with this entry, but I still haven't gotten around to doing it, so enough with the waiting. I'm just going to post, photo-less.

I knew I was pregnant the moment I craved: FRENCH FRIES! Matt and I had just finished eating sushi for dinner. I had a huge meal. And immediately afterward, I had to have french fries. I wanted McDonald's french fries. I wanted them right then. And I wanted them to be hot and salty and crispy! Well, I got what I wanted. We went to McD's and those fries were perfect! I ate the whole thing in less than 5 minutes! And they were delicious! Matt told me not to read too much into that craving. He didn't want me to get my hopes up, especially after being disappointed so many times before after finding out we still were not pregnant. But I knew. A few days later, I took the home pregnancy test, and voila! Pregnant and Expecting. Check! In cherishing that memory, I wrote a (cheesy) little poem to celebrate the moment. Here it is:


ODE TO A FRENCH FRY

Golden one,
Like the sun,
You make my life complete.

As hormones rage, it makes me crave
& you are what I need.

McDonald's fries,
I only have eyes
For your crispy, salty sticks.

Thanks a bunch
For the crunch...
(I have a hunch, I'll continue to munch)
On such a delicious treat!


Lately at work I have been craving Nestle Crunch ice cream bars. Also very yummy! I haven't had any weird cravings yet. No pickles and ice cream for me, thanks.
