Cravings

Garth is seriously scared for when I get pregnant. Why you ask? Because (I'm NOT preggers!) I have the most intense cravings. All last week I begged Garth to get me chili cheese fries from Coney Island. He finally gave in Saturday night and I was in heaven. Before the chili cheese fry incident, I had a serious craving for mediterranean food. Thus, what we had for dinner Friday night. What is wrong with me?!
Garth is afraid the cravings will intensify when pregnant, and he pictures me sending him out in the night to fulfill my latest craving, and he will go! I am not afraid to play the labor card. But right now, the labor card doesn't work and I have to resort to begging.

You sound just like me! Justin is so scared of what he is going to have to endure when I'm pregnant. I get cravings ALL the time...and I have to have the food right then!

Jon and Steph said...

Crack me up! I get strange cravings too, I hope it doesn't get worse when I'm pregnant! (Then I might be eating fried okra in the middle of the night.)

Jen McCrady said...

ummmm you should have seen me with ryan's heaping bowl of mac & cheese last night... i couldn't contain myself! all this healthy eating has got me going crazy!!!!!!!!

LyndsAU said...

haha :) i am just now really feeling the cravings and they are intense. I mean "make you mad if you can't have them" intense!

bb said...

Maybe pregnancy will have the opposite effect and make your cravings less crazy? ;)

LauraAnn said...

I am the same way! I have been on a HUGE El Rodeo (mexican restaurant by us) kick! I am constantly asking Rich if we can go there for food and I always order the same thing. Every time I ask to go there I get the look of "you aren't pregnant are you?!?"

Angie said...

lol great post. Do you ever watch the food network? Hubs and I watch it and then crave whatever they are making on there. It's funny how that works ;)

Bekah said...

I used to get wicked cravings as well...and so far in 10 weeks of pregnancy I crave NOTHING. Granted I still have intense bouts of morning sickness, so that might be a big part of it, but Matt actually told me really expected to be running to the grocery store every night and he is a little disappointed that I dont have any cravings!

Megan said...

I am just like you! Until I fulfill my craving--nothing else will do.

Liz said...

What a good husband. :) I will say though, that many pregnant women have the opposite of whatever is normal, so maybe since you have cravings now, when you're pregnant you won't have any!

AmyT said...

I think it may be a woman thing - I do that - where you can just taste that certain food. I didn't have too intense cravings while pregnant - I mean yes there were things that I wanted - and I ate icecream EVERY night...I had terrible heartburn! The only thing I really really craved was carrots - cooked.........and I like to only eat them raw!

Christie said...

Hahaha, this is me too! Sometimes I get these really intense cravings and normally I end up begging my husband to go out and get the needed food instead of going myself. We are so blessed to have men who say "yes" to such requests!

Lucky in Love said...

If he's this responsive to you when you're not pregnant....just think of how much you can get him to do when you are :) Ha!

Jordan said...

Cravings for chili cheese fries must always be satisfied!!

Lea Liz said...

haha that is funny! Ya know I didn't have major cravings while I was pregnant, I would just eat anything..lol but hey at least you will have the labor card:)

Jules said...

When I am really in the mood for something, I need it bad! I can't imagine what it will be like when I am preggo!

Chili cheese fries sound delicious!

Emily said...

this post makes me smile:) I have been having few cravings lately.. last week I had to have a corn dog and cheetos:) And saturday I really needed a hamburger:)

Adventures in Newlywed said...

Hahahahaha - you are NOT alone! I already crave pickles, cheese fries, bbq chips...why don't we ever crave lettuce or carrots or something healthy?

JennyLee said...

Haha that is so funny! I get weird cravings too...lately it's been fried chicken. Not the "healthiest" thing to be craving!

April E. :) said...

Too funny...oh what we worry about compared to their worries. ha!

Perfectly Imperfect said...

If i get something in my head that I want, I can't stop thinking about it til I get it.. So Mr. Perfect is going to have his hands full if I ever do have pregnancy cravings!!

Sara @ Domestically Challenged said...

For cheese fries? I'd beg too. Right now? I'd even beg for a single fry.

Sara @ Domestically Challenged said...

p.s. Have i ever mentioned that i love the fact that about 90% of your commenters are wearing wedding dresses? It is so cute!

Tara Gibson said...

haha, i have a feeling i will be the same way! I crave those orange push up pops all the time and make my hubs go get me one : )

Saskia said...

I was going to say what bb said!! I think pregnancy may have the opposite effect and you may not crave anything!

Cristina said...

LOL...I love this, and you should totally milk those cravings for all their worth when your preggers - it's the only time he can't say no :)

d.a.r. said...

I have the most insane (and STRONG!) cravings all of the time too!!!

katie + bret said...

haha - that is funny. I get cravings like that too and Bret always thinks I am odd. For a week straight I wanted a hamburger SO BADLY and I do not ever eat beef. I am afraid my love for food will go away when I get pregnant then I will be very sad :(

Aartee said...

lol I have random cravings all the time....sometimes for multiple things in one day!

- Sarah :-) said...

I don't know if they'll worsen, but I have the horrid intense cravings as well. What is WRONG with us? It's like nothing tastes as good until a craving has been squelched. *sigh* I'm craving Olive Garden salad, right now... but guess what we're having for diner?!?! SCORE!!

Ginger said...

Glad I'm not the only one!!

Sassy Engineer said...

haha - I think I might be the same way. I just tell my hubby that our future baby wants... (fill in the blank)!

Tabbie:) said...

You are too funny girl!!
You do have some intense cravings though!

Minnesota Girl said...

For some reason I crave ice cream ALL the time! I can only imagine the day that I get prego, what kind of cravings I will have.

Have a great day!

Casey (@ Chaos and Cardboard) said...

I'll be with ya! I once wanted mashed potatoes, but couldn't decide what kind. I made Jordan go to KFC, Popeyes, AND Churches. :)

Whitney said...

Hilarious!!!!! I do get insatiable cravings now, too!

The Other K Wick said...

LOL. Too cute! I get food cravings too and I'm not pregnant either. Glad to hear I'm not the only one. On a side note: I cannot wait until you guys are pregnant. The blog stories are going to be great!

Naturally Caffeinated Family said...

mmm cheese fries!! and it's terrible, once you think of something, you have to have it, i know!!=) so cute!

The Rest is Still Unwritten said...

Haha! I love it! I crave salty stuff, but hardly ever anything specific. I think I'll be bad when I'm pregnant though!

Mrs Anne said...

When i first skimmed the post i was like OMG she's pregnant!!!!! ... lol got a little excited for you guys! it'll come in due time, eh? :)

i'm hoping to get pregnant w/in the year and can only imagine the insane cravings i'll have.

wishing you a lovely day!

Milltini said...

hahah...the "labor card" doesn't work so you have to resort to begging--you poor thing! i must admit, i get some strong cravings as well.

Mommy In Pink said...

lol...this post cracked me up! I love the scripture in your header by the way!

Ashley @ {Let Go, Laughing} said...

haha I am the same way - crazy cravings sometimes and others, nothing sounds good!

Kelli said...

You sound like me! I have to beg right now too! After reading this, I want some chili cheese fries!! ha :)

Unknown said...

lol. My main craving is for chocolate ice cream. mmmm.

Hailey HRH said...

its from all your working out and doing the SHRED thing im sure! once i started running all the time the cravings just started pouring in. like i had never eaten food before in my life. it was nuts!

chocolate is my weakness.

Unknown said...

I LOVE food and cravings can hit at any time (pregnant or not). Husby is definitely worried about my cravings when we get pregnant!

MissKarenAshley said...

hahah too funny. I can't wait to get preggers so I have an excuse for my awful eating habits...or would that be the time to smarten up and eat healthier?? No fun.

Taryn said...

You are too funny. I love that you have "to resort to begging." Thanks for the smiles.

Cher said...

I am the same way! I have late night (okay...and midday, morning, mid-afternoon) cravings for lots of random stuff!

The Shabby Princess said...

LOL!! I'm the same way. When I want something, come hell or high water, I will have it. And I'm usually pretty grumpy if I don't get it. Um, I like to eat...

Darci White said...

how funny!!! i do this from time to time too.......i just start craving something and can't focus on anything else until i have it.

last week i was craving peanut brittle? weird.

and note: i'm not preggers either (or i better not be...ha!).

morewineplease said...

Oh yeah.. you are in trouble, it will be 100 times worse dear!

The Djulus Family said...

He's sweet to actually go out and do it for you! My hubby has been ok with that, when I beg, but otherwise no serious cravings yet.
Love the new look... I've been away for a while. Did you do it yourself?
