Pre-Pregnancy Food Cravings

I was thinking about this today....everyone says you get strange food cravings when you are pregnant, right? Well what if I had weird food cravings before I was pregnant? My husband tells me that some of my food choices are a bit strange so I thought I would share them. This comes to mind as I have just finished weird food craving #1.

1. Spaghetti O's and Buttered Bread: Yes, I love Spaghetti O's! I have always loved Spaghetti O's but the little monster craves thinks like spaghetti so it makes sense that I have been eating a ton of O's lately! But I have to eat my saucy O's with buttered bread. Literally, scoop a spoonful of O's onto some buttered bread and enjoy! My husband thinks I'm gross!

2. Grilled Cheese and Applesauce: This is one of my all time favorite foods. It's like a comfort food to me, probably because I got it from my Mom. A grilled cheese sandwich with 1 1/2 slices of white American cheese, dipped in cold applesauce. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! And again, my husband thinks it's gross.

3. Goods Potato Chips and Applesauce: Another one I get from my Mom. There's just something so good about that salty and sweet taste!

4. Vanilla Ice Cream and Salted Pretzels: Again, the salty pretzels and the sweet ice cream just make it so worth it. My husband thought I was crazy until they came out with a brand of ice cream!

5. Vanilla Ice Cream and McDonald's French Fries: Same is the pretzels...just amazing!

Now I don't think these are too bad but people look at me like I am crazy when I talk about these kinds of food cravings! What do you think? Do you eat any of these strange foods? It can't be as bad as my Dad who, on every New Year's Day, enjoys mashed potatoes topped with mayonnaise topped with sauerkraut. YUCK!

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time! He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day. It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs. As of today, though, I am up 17lbs. I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine. I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though! The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated. I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time. Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues. I don't ever ...

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out. They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child. What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal? I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial. I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad. They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that. Good for you. There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve? This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained. Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
