My son is six going on sixty, but that's another story. Anyway, at the time we had a refrigerator that had to be defrosted
(remember those?). I CRAVED the frost from it. I was eating it by the chunks, like it was a snow cone or something. I COULD NOT stop doing it. The day I brought my son home I tried it and vomitted. Go figure.
I also ate a lot of chocolate which is strange for me because I don't like chocolate. I'll eat something covered in chocolate, like snickers or butterfingers, but not plain chocolate. Yuck!! I was buying the huge bag of oreos several times a week. I had to keep replacing the bags so that my honey wouldn't notice I was INHALING them. I also ate double chocolate cake and solid milk chocolate hershey bars a lot.
I also craved things that I ate a lot as a child: grape, apple, orange and banana now-and-laters, (I actually broke down and cried when they didn't have apple at the store),
peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches with JIF EXTRA CHUNKY peanut butter, tacos with hot sauce and lots of sour cream, and those rainbow candy cane sticks. I also had to have ice in all my drinks.
Surprisingly, I only gained TEN pounds during my pregnancy. My son weighed 7lbs 8 3/4 ounces.
