The other day I was preparing to make noodles, so I made some chicken broth (2 chicken bullion cubes in 2 cups of water, easy), but before I could get it all in the pan I drank a whole cup of the chicken broth right out of the measuring cup...oops!
Last night I went to the grocery store right after work and I ended up with a cart full of fresh fruit...kiwis, bananas, apples, and strawberries. When I got home I ate a ton of it too :-) I was so full, but unfortunately fruit doesn't stick to your ribs.
Right across the street from the bank is a Chinese Buffet...not good if you're pregnant and craving egg rolls/soy sauce. I finally gave in yesterday and headed across the way....I ate 3 egg rolls!! I must be loving salt, because I could have put soy sauce on EVERYTHING. When I got back from lunch, one of the girls at work said to me, "Well, I think we have soy sauce packets in the breakroom...you could just eat them." Gross, but then again maybe not.
Speaking of salt, I made mashed potatoes (yet another craving) the other night to go with the noodles and I just kept adding more and more salt...and after all that, I still couldn't even taste it enough- but I stopped adding because Zach isn't pregnant and probably wouldn't have enjoyed the salt block in our taters.
I've heard that an excess of salt can lead to greater water retention....am I going to blow up like a whale if I love the salt while preggers?!
In your 3rd trimester, you will ;) Ooo, I wonder if you're going to have a boy because we have similar cravings!
ReplyDeleteMaybe...I was reading your post about your dream of a little baby girl, and I just had one the other night too. But I guess dreams don't really know either, huh? I hope we have a boy...I hear they are easier for a first and I want our little girl to have a big brother. :-)
