It's begun!

That's right folks, the pregnancy cravings have arrived. Up through this point Heidi has been pretty good about not changing her eating habits (possibly because ours weren't too great to begin with). She hasn't had any really strange cravings, and has kept her urges to a renewed interest in macaroni and cheese.

However, as of this weekend I have seen a distinct change in her desires, starting with breakfast yesterday. As soon as we woke up I headed out to grab a drink and asked if she needed anything. Here's how the ensuing conversation went:

"An icing cookie with pudding," she says.
"What?" I reply.
"An icing cookie with pudding."
"For breakfast?"
"Yep."
"So you want a cookie and a pudding cup then?"
"No, just put the pudding on the cookie"
"Alright, then...pudding cookie it is."

And again today, we had a similar, yet much more complex conversation when I asked what she'd like for lunch. I won't bore you with the entire transcript but here's a recap of things she asked for:

• Cheese pizza from Domino's
• Cream of Mushroom soup mixed with white rice
• Amish Potato salad
• Beans and rice
• Cornbread
  

We settled on a DiGiorno pizza from the freezer, but I honestly believe that she truly wanted to have all of those things on one plate and just slam it on in. Don't get me wrong, at least some of it sounded good to me as well, but I just think the whole cravings thing is hilarious. It's crazy as hell, but it's gonna be fun to see how strange they get...next week it may be waffles with soy sauce or peanut butter and mushrooms.
