Cravings

Its been pretty crazy as far as the appetite goes. It gets to the point that I'd make it out of my way to grab food I crave no matter the distance. One time I turned around to go back to the grocery store to get some chocolates - it has been intense. But through it all, even my husband is impressed that I don't abuse my pregnancy craving privileges. If I get a doughnut (DD French Crulers) I eat only half and make sure I go for a mile walk to compensate for the calories consumed. But anyway... what I've been craving lately are:

Any kind of salad. I can't seem to have enough and there are a variety of choices so
it's awesome. I love Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad and any Caesar Salad.

Chicken or Turkey Salad. The best one I've had in the mid west is from Miss Mamies.
I have a feeling I'll be driving over to that restaurant sometime this week.

Specifically chocolate covered peanuts (not any other variety of nuts). Consumption is
limited to 2-4 pieces to satisfy my desire. It works its magic. Husband loves this too.

I was so scared to touch coffee ever since I found out I'm pregnant. I have been coffee
free since April 2011 and it drove me insane. But I called my OBGYN earlier this week and
she said that decaf coffee is all right to drink. I don't abuse it though.
I only drink 6 oz every other day, or only twice a week.

I LOVE SOFT BAKED PRETZELS, especially the Cheese Meltdown (minus jalapeno)
from Wetzel's Pretzels. I can gobble it all up but I share half with Dre
every time I get one. But these pretzels are absolutely heavenly.

So all in all, Baby A is kicking a lot. I can't wait till Dre feels Baby A move. But countdown is 2 more days before we find out the sex! Hyped up excited right now.
