Cravings.

As of today, 1.1.11 I am 12 and a half weeks pregnant! I feel a million times better than I did 1 month ago, although there are still those days where the "yuck" shows up. I have been definitely craving carbs and fruit this time around...which I recall craving with Averie as well. I can never get enough oranges, apples or grapefruit and rice, noodles, fried rice, cereal (and I am not a cereal person), etc sounds good too! My Main craving...something I have almost every morning is a chocolate slim fast shake!! I know it sounds so weird, but they taste so good to me for some reason! Averie is also a fan of Slim Fast, so when I make mine, i make her one too! I also had a weird craving for a dish called "california dinner" -something my mom made all the time when we were kids!! It's an easy, throw together dinner that tastes so good...and even better the next day!
