  • I'm sitting here eating peppermint chocolate ice cream..and can't stop! I'm also 38 weeks. :) Oh well! 
  • Omg YES. It really only started at about 35 weeks.  Before that, I was eating pretty decently and avoiding lots of sweets.  Now, I can't get enough of the powdered donettes and candy. I have to make a huge effort to avoid them.

  • We're 32 weeks tomorrow. 
    Last week, I would have thought you guys were just crazy pregnant ladies using baby as an excuse for your sweet tooth...

    But HELLLLOOOOO to the sweets this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm CRAZY for french toast, and today I had a bowl of rice crispes with honey for breakfast, an oatmeal cookie sandwich and a ho-ho for dessert after lunch, and a piece of pumpkin cake stuff after dinner.  It's like I just went schizo a week ago and my other personality is freekin Cookie Monster!!  Nom nom nom!!!!

  • I've really been craving soda .. but w/all the sugar and caffeine .. I'm tryin to stay away from it .. !

  • YES!! 37 weeks here, but part of me thinks that this pregnancy is going to end soon and then it will be getting my body back into shape... so mentally, I have 3 more weeks to really enjoy the "good stuff" before I get rid of it again :P

  • I thought I was completely crazy as well. All I've wanted are cookies and Dr. Pepper and Cream Soda! Not sure why, but goodness sakes! I let myself have a couple of sodas a day, but my body makes it feel like all I should have is that stuff lol!

  • though my whole pregnacy thats all I wanted might explain the weight gain lol
  • YES!!!  I am only 32 weeks, but I definitely feel it!!  I thought for sure I was going to go to my apt. this morning having gained at least 5 lbs. since my last 2 week apt, but luckily...nothing!!  Stayed the same...although, that just encourages the eating that I've been doing for the last week.  LOL!

  • I have been craving sweets like never in my life this whole pregnancy.  The odd part is, with the exception of my fifth month, where I gained 13 lbs, I have only gained 1-2 lbs a month.  It makes me justify the sweets because if I had been eating healthy I may have not gained enough weight at all!
