Cravings!

I looked back to see if I talked about my cravings. I didn't see anything so I thought I would dedicate part of this blog about cravings. I did mention the pickles and milk thing but that wasn't really craving. Now, there are two things that I can honestly say that I have been craving.

First thing that I crave is bacon. Now, those who know me know that I am not a fan of bacon. Sure I like it on my hamburger but that really is about it. It is greasy and honestly just tastes like... fat, oh yeah cause it is. Granted I love my turkey bacon for the reasons it is not as greasy. I ate bacon before but it was few and far in between. Usually, I would get sausage links at breakfast restaurants. I remember the first time I smelled bacon at the beginning of my pregnancy. I practically salivated over it! I am hopeful that this is a craving that will go away soon. I try to avoid it but sometimes I just need to have the bacon!

Second craving caught me off guard. I remember when I stayed with Aunt Cheryl in Utah the summer between my Junior and Senior high school year I spent a few days with my beautiful Grandma and we had the most amazing toast. It was Grandma Sycamore's Home-Maid Bread. Years later I am sitting there all of a sudden extremely craving this yummy bread. No clue how to get it. I seriously contemplating emailing my beautiful Grandma asking her to send me some of that amazing bread. I would pay for it of course. Later that week late at night I found myself at the Albertson's store and I decided to pick up some bread too. I am walking down the isle checking out the different breads trying to decide what to get. (Since they didn't carry my second favorite bread Milton's multigrain.) And there it was like it was sent from Heaven. I swear I heard the angel's singing and it lit up in all it's glory... Grandma's Sycamore's Home-Maid Bread. I was so excited I hugged the clerk that was facing the products on shelves and exclaimed "You just made a pregnant woman happy!"

The annoying part about the whole thing though is everyone else must obviously love this bread because it is ALWAYS OUT! Today I found wheat bread instead of the white, we will see if it is just as good. I don't mean to be a snob when it comes to this bread but it is so good and that is the second thing that I crave consistently and it is obviously hard to get a hold of!

Now, there are things that I want but I would call them pregnancy must have cravings. I am sure I would crave them anyway. But, it is funny to see people immediately react like "we better get this for her or else..." so I suppose I should be thanking stereo-typed pregnant woman because all honesty, although I really wanted no bake cookies, I could have lived without them just fine. And even if I wasn't pregnant if I want something, I would go get it. Why not? We ALL have cravings from time to time. Remember "I know I am craving something but I don't know what?" Yeah.

Hopefully I wont crave anything else!
