@karmba omg Portillos 🤤🤤🤤 my best friend actually shipped us 6 pizzas from Lou Malnatis on tastesofchicago.com So worth it. I literally cried when I opened the box.
@willashbaby. I am in that boat. I went to the store and found sour stuffed Twizzlers in cherry and lemon. Oh my gosh, I ate all the cherry ones in one sitting. I am not the biggest fan of lemon at the moment, but those also were devoured quickly.
I just had the most random snack. I was feeling nauseous and wasn’t even hungry, but I made my daughter a banana and peanut butter snack, so then I made myself a ritz cracker, peanut butter and honey snack, then ate sour cream and onion chips, then ate some m&m’s.

@gh1219 yesss I’ve been craving vinegary stuff too. I made pickled carrots and jalapeños for bahn mi’s and then a Korean pickled cucumber, carrot, radish thing for a rice bowl. So good!

Sour (both tart and/or fermented), salty, creamy, and carby. I was on my own for dinner last night, so ate a box of mac & cheese, large bowl of tomato soup, and a pickle (because I needed a vegetable....but I also wanted pickles). I've also been having ice cream as my afternoon snack (ok, one of the snacks).
No strong aversions yet, though getting to be less and less thrilled with bitter things (hated a kale curry dish I made over the weekend; roasted onions/garlic/mushrooms, like on a pizza, aren't particularly appealing).
I just asked MH to bring home a Jimmy John's sandwich!!! Ahh it's all I want right now! #5 Vito unwich with salt and vinegar chips. I did consult "expecting better" chapter on deli meats first and it sounds like turkey is what I need to stay away from most, which thankfully isn't in this sandwich. Omnomnom
Just as my cravings started turning from salty to sweet, a good friend sent me a care package from Milk Bar in NYC full of cake truffles and a whole birthday cake!! It’s trouble over here....
@mindyb2019 I’ve been thinking about buffalo chicken dip. Which then led me to think about spinach artichoke dip. So basically my grocery pickup today is largely chips and dips. Lol.
Randomly I really wanted Golden Grahams last week. Well now I have them and I had a bowl for breakfast - they were disappointing haha. I'm not sure what I expected, maybe I need Cinnamon Toast Crunch next time.
Chocolate frosted donuts have been on my radar for a while. I just finally got two from Dunkin’ this morning! Just what I needed. Also the first time I wasn’t nauseous after breakfast in a few weeks!
Um so... Ive been having a problem. When I eat I just want to keep eating even if I'm starting to feel nausea. I don't care I keep going til I feel sick.
I've never been a binger. I guess I don't have "cravings" per se I just want to eat 😭
I constantly want a burger from this little place in town. It’s sooooo good. PB&J also consistently sounds delicious. I’ve been craving strawberry shortcake also so I made some yesterday. I also crave soft serve vanilla ice cream.
Ate a leftover burger (with pickles) for lunch, no regrets. Have been craving a burger from a local place that's essentially a glorified, sloppy Big Mac (with tots), but not sure they're serving it now. Buffalo chicken pizza has also been on my mind, might ask for some delivery later on this week (hey, the economy needs us right now), though dip sounds even better....I have a killer layered buffalo chicken dip recipe I make for Superbowl. These are some reasons, beyond the obvious, why my husband is excited for me being pregnant. He gets to eat a bunch of junk food because I want it, and being a good husband means giving me what I want.
My appetite is definitely starting to dwindle. Not because of aversions, when I'm hungry I'm convinced that I can eat everything in sight, I just get full a lot quicker.
hahaha @akoros one of the first things my husband said when we were trying to get pregnant again: "I can't wait for you to be pregnant again and for you to get all your cravings so I can enjoy too!" =P

My husband went grocery shopping and got me two jars of pickles: one dill, one sweet. I don't know how to break it to him that I hate sweet pickles (I specified dills on the list, but didn't add the note "anything but sweet/butter pickles"). He's so proud of himself....
I meticulously built the grocery list around what I was craving. Then the person doing the shopping made some random substitutions. Just not really sure what they were thinking. I cried the whole time I unpacked the groceries. My husband is so concerned.
@dobiemom11 a similar thing happened to me/us. I was so mad at the suggested substitutions that I denied them all and made another list and sent my H to our regular store (it doesn’t do grocery pickup so we have to use a different store we don’t like) the next day. I cannot wait until we feel more comfortable going into stores.
@gh1219 omg I had the EXACT same craving today for Jimmy Johns except I went for the bread instead of unwich and got the hunters club. I am Also not at all worried about non-turkey the lunch meat. I even have several friends who ate turkey their entire pregnancies and all was ok. But i guess i can limit myself in one way. I also got salt & vinegar chips but ate them later tonight. I ate half of the sandwich before leaving the parking lot. If anyone was watching me it was probably not my best look. Literally don’t care either way because it was so yum lol
I haven’t been eating much so when I get a craving, I fully go for it. At my 8 week appt I’d lost approx 4 lbs. This ended up being the only stuff I ate today, so made it that much better.
I also have had a major sweet craving lately for chocolate desserts - ice cream, cookies and I’m dying to eat something like a chocolate mousse? I’m trying not to indulge but I found a recipe for the mousse so might try to make it.
@mrspants0809. Sometimes I will get a text asking me to approve suggestions and sometimes not. I would not have approved yesterday's suggestions. I wanted cherry and lemon sour Twizzlers not strawberry pull apart. My husband loves Fresca which is zero calorie, but they gave us full calorie Sprite. One is grapefruit flavored and one lemon lime. I told my husband I am not sure whether I would rather have no substitutions and be without the craving foods or these off target ones. I feel like writing Pregnant woman over here who will cry over substitutions. Please choose wisely!
@hadassah2020. I love mangoes but feel your pain on getting good ones. I try to look for harder ones, so they can ripen a little at home. The soft ones go too ripe before I eat them. I also normally smell them all, but that will have to stop now.
