Everything. But it needs to be nothing because I’m already up 20lbs from pre-pregnancy, which is like 26lbs overall. Last time I only gained 23lbs last time...
I wouldn't say that I'm eating much of it, but I have taken up a liking for chocolate ice cream (and basically all sweets) during this pregnancy as well, @rc-cola! Not an ice cream fan sans bun in the oven.
Not much to be honest. I've only gained 7lbs so far. I'm overweight so that's about half of the weight I'm supposed to gain this pregnancy so thankfully I'm on track.
I did crave a turtle sundae a few weeks ago. For the most part I'm hungry, but when I finally eat I feel so full quickly .
No specific repeating cravings, but I just had a lobster roll for the first time in a loooonnng time and it was sooooo good.
Last weekend I had to have Olive Garden angel hair and meat sauce. No other Italian place would do, had to be Olive Garden. It’s not a place we ever go to more than once a year, but what I got it was exactly what I was craving.
@knottieamusements but they just taste SO GOOD. Plus I'm about to travel for vacation/a wedding so we are going to be eating out a lot. And I'm trying to fit in a BM dress that is rapidly getting waaaay too small, even though it fit a week ago. (disclaimer, I am not starving myself to fit in the dress, baby is always hungry.... just trying to get my fiber in and keep the bloat down )
Salads! But mostly I'm still pretty apathetic about food I was hoping this pregnancy would be different, but nope. It's so hard to cook and find something I want to eat!
@babyptobe I love watermelon in general, but the ones I've bought this summer so far haven’t been good except the first one. I bought another today hoping it will be different. Crossing fingers...
Ugh, everything. I'm definitely a stress eater and I've been pretty stressed out lately with life stuff. Luckily (I guess) the heartburn has kicked in which keeps me from over eating. Ice cream has been key as well as all the snack foods (chips/crackers) kindly provided for free at my office...
Ugh I want watermelon so bad! The last two I bought have sucked. The first one wasn’t ripe at all, even after letting it sit a few days before cutting into it and the one I cut into today was over ripe. I knew it would be, I missed peak yumminess while i was out of town for my Grandmothers funeral.
@cdepperschmidt I may be wrong on this, but I think watermelon is one of those fruits that doesn’t continue to ripen after it’s picked, so it’s important when you’re in the store to try and get one that’s perfect ripeness. With watermelon, the two things I look for are a yellowish spot from where it sits on the ground (rather than white), and that when you pick it up, it’s heavier than you would expect it to be based on its size. Those criteria have always gotten me good ones so far!
@cdepperschmidt My experience with Watermelon shopping has been the same lately. I've had to trash every melon I've gotten from Trader Joe's, but the ones I've bought from the other stores have all been delicious!
Today, I remembered that we still have a few tiny jars of honey from our honeymoon in Greece. I just poured a spoonful over some Greek yogurt and vanilla granola and it's basically the best thing I've ever had in my life.
But now that I just read this thread, I want ice cream.
It’s in the 90s with 100% humidity. So all the summery things I can think of. But then I can’t decide what I want, so I end up making everything. For instance, tonight I couldn’t decide between Greek or Italian so I made both

I’m just over here dreaming about all of the food I plan to eat when I go down to Austin tomorrow. My stepdad makes AMAZING fajitas so I plan to eat my weight in those, and I’m also going to the pie place down the road from my mom’s house and buying like 4 pies. I’ve also made a list of the places I want to eat while I’m there
I got to have my favorite pizza tonight. We are in my college town and there's a place that makes amazing thin crust style pizza. It will forever be my favorite.

You put the rest of us to shame.
Also ice cream, last week was rainbow sherbet, this week is coconut.
