SATURDAY 09.22.12
I decided I wanted to make this a blog hop because I think it would be the greatest to share stories about all the crazy food cravings pregnancy brings about with most women. Now it doesn't have to be about cravings either. It can even be a food that you never thought in a million years you would eat and being pregnant, made you try it just cause.
So I guess I will go first :0)
When I was pregnant with my daughter back in 2006, I started getting these massive cravings for oranges. I just wanted oranges galore around 30 weeks and on. I would just sit and eat bags and bags of oranges all day and go to the store about 3-4 times a day buying more bags. I would even make my husband go at night to Walmart {when everything else was closed} just for some oranges if I didn't have enough. I think I ate about two bags of oranges a day until she as born. I was not even a big orange fan either. Crazy! When she was born, she was allergic to oranges and was for many years. Now she doesn't seem to really have an allergy to them anymore.
But I did eat something I never thought I would ever in my life try. That's right, I couldn't help it, the pregnancy hunger took over and I took a bite {a small one but still a bite} of......can you guess from the photo below?
I shocked myself too. He hesitated giving it to me cause he never thought he'd live to see the day. And you know what? It wasn't horribly bad. I don't know if I would ever eat it again, but it wasn't bad. I really did enjoy the spiciness of it. See what pregnancy has started to do to me? Eating that piece of chicken last night was my equivalent of the Pickles with Ice Cream story. We don't go together and never would anytime except now. I just got this hunger over me that pushed a desire to have some chicken. I still can't get over that.

This is a great idea for a link up! I will write up my post for sure. Can't wait to read all the stories.
ReplyDeletePickles and ice cream is such a crazy sounding mix haha, love this idea Rebecca. That story about the oranges in your first pregnancy was so cute, it's amazing being pregnant made you want to eat them like that. The chicken story made me smile too because chicken is really good!
ReplyDeleteThis is a FANTASTIC IDEA!!! I'm excited to read everyone's stories...
ReplyDeleteWhat greatness! So happy to be linked up and thanks for hosting, my dear!
ReplyDelete-Amberly!
Awesome, I can't wait to write my post and link up when I have the chance! That is so crazy how many oranges you ate when you were pregnant last time. It's so weird what pregnancy does to our appetites and taste buds lol!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a hop! I had so many different and weird cravings with each of my pregnancies lol. Pregnant women just eat weird!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with the GtKY hop!
I have never had any crazy cravings. I'm pregnant right now with my 3rd, and the only things I crave are things I CAN'T have. Like food from back home!
ReplyDeleteI found you on the GFC Blog hop!
Hi! I found you through the blog hop and started following. Beauty-ninja.blogspot.com. :)
ReplyDeletePregnancy cravings make me laugh... I don't think I ever had any crazy cravings (although I think I had McDonald's Chocolate Chip Cookies every day for about 2 weeks with my first son). I did have aversions... I used to LOVE tomatoes, eggs, and bananas... not so much after being pregnant :( Oh, well. I still like cookies!
ReplyDeleteI was stationed in Alaska when I was pregnant with my son. I craved Famous Dave's BBQ and White Castle hamburgers.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a baby yet, so I can't talk from experience...but I know my mom craved homemade, warm bread when she was pregnant with me! new follower from the blog hop, can't wait to catch up on your posts!
ReplyDeleteI craved mexican food in the beginning. Ribs was a big turn off for me.
ReplyDeleteI saw you on Monday Mingle. I just followed you.

Those are some pretty funny stories of cravings! I can't imagine how many oranges you must have bought over that many months!
ReplyDeleteStopping in via the #TALU. Very clever post for a link-up. The curiosity had caught me now. No way to not wander around your site to figure out if you're a vegetarian, vegan, have a chicken phobia or what LOL. Going to explore now ... :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Have you tried chicken since? When I was pregnant I never really had more than one craving: egg rolls. Needless to say, after I finally gave in, the acid reflux took me by surprise and I didn't have them again until a few months after the birth. Thanks for linking up with me, Rebecca.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I craved salad! I premade a ton of salads so I would have them for when a craving struck. Stopping by and following from Mommy Brain Link up!
ReplyDeleteNew follower here stopping by from the Mommy-Brain Mixer, blog hop! Hoping to be soon and can't wait for the cravings to come!
ReplyDeleteI never really had cravings except for one. When I was pregnant with my twins I craved and I mean had to have chili with milk GROSS right. And you best believe it only happened once I was so sick within minutes of my need for this grossness.
ReplyDeleteFirst pregnancy - I craved blueberry pancakes and coffee.
ReplyDeleteMy recent pregnancies - lemonade. It was all wanted or could drink.
fun idea for a hop. thanks for linking up today at (TALU)
I found I was completely open to suggestion with my cravings. I would read a book that referred to chicken pot pie and then I was fixated until I could have chicken pot pie. I would then see an add for Twisties and be fixed on that until I got to ate Twisties. Weird!
