Pickles & Ice Cream

[TRAV]

So does everybody gain a ton of weight during this time? Is it destiny for one to blow up and turn into the Michelin man? 

Mainly the men gain the most weight while the woman is pregnant. So, yeah, female pregnancy causes increased weight in men, swelling them up to Michelin man size. 

  Ummm, that's ...what I ....was referring ....to....if you read the very...... first..... post............(and now I'm getting all emotional).

Is this normal?!?!?!? 

[InChristGirl]

For you Trav I'd say it's more than normal

I'm craving some orange juice and ground pepper right now
along with some swiss cake rolls mashed around a banana

[MelodyB]

Do you put the pepper in the OJ?

Thats gross.

[Amelia Bedelia]

[randerzforya]

  Ew, that sounds pretty nasty. lol

[JoleneHeather]

I didnt crave anything but cinnimon rolls and a few times I wanted some steak.  I never got either though.  LOL

I ate so much macaroni and cheese during my first pregnancy that the ladies i worked with said the baby was going to be born with macaroni coming out of his ears, haha.
I also craved pancakes, mexican food, and dr. pepper. I didn't like to eat it all at the same time though.

With my second I wanted cheesesticks and chicken strips from sonic all the time.

With my third it was pancakes and scrambled eggs.

And with all three, i wanted meat. Anykind of meat, all the time.  I could have lived off of steaks and ribs.  Yummm,yummm.  But that's pretty normal.  I'm not pregnant now and I still want it all the time, haha.

I gained around 40 lbs with all three of my pregnancies. I was underweight starting out all three times, so it was ok for me to gain that much.

Lucky! Even the smell of meat (cooking or just sitting on the table) made me get sick. I was a veggetarian for about half of my pregnancy..lol I hope this time I don't have as weak a stomache...

I'm underweight according to the charts and with Ethan I gained 53 lbs..it was nice to have some curves for once!  Haha. I hope this time I can keep it down lower though, my doc was worried I would have a hard time delivering because I have a really small bone structure and they say extra weight doesn't exactly help.

I must be pregnant. I crave those all the time....OH NO!!!!

Your gonna be rich if you are Trav!

[TRAV]

Your gonna be rich if you are Trav!

Yeah, but do you think the maternity clothes will make me look fat?

[newkris]

just stay away from the pink dresses and i think you'll be fine.  maternity clothes are intended to show off one's natural pregnant beauty, after all.  and if you are really pregnant you ought to be proud of the changes you display.  at least . . .that's what i was told . . . a LONG time ago!!

[TRAV]

OR maybe I could take one of those "I am pregnant pics" like Demi Moore !!! 

[newkris]

**shudders**

[terp]

sometimes I wonder about you people...

[TRAV]

sometimes I wonder about you people...

you wonder?!? YOU WONDER?!?!?!

(why am I acting like this....ever since.....oh, nevermind!)

[newkris]

why do you suppose she wonders about us, trav?  i don't get it . . . . pregnancy is all perfectly natural, right?   

[terp]

   (My first emoticon on GP.)  Oy...  Who got me into this, anyway!?   

[newkris]

   hi terp!  go look at the "what song is on your mind" thread . .  classicrambler's last song will make trav's pregnancy pale in comparison.   

[terp]

I did...oh brother.     Heehee.  It's not contagious; is it?

[TRAV]

I'm gettin' kinda hungry. You?

[newkris]

i don't know.  i've heard that if you drink from a bubbler after someone who is pregnant you can get pregnant.  so .  . i avoid bubblers.  that's easy here in MN where they don't seem to have them.  every time i ask they just sort of look at me odd . . . and turn away . . . hhhmmm?

well, sort of, trav, but  . .  you know . . not for pickles or ice cream . . although pickles are a vegetable, right terp?

[terp]

Haha.  They ARE a vegetable.  Yay!!!  I think I'd kill myself with all that sodium, but a veggie by any other name... 

[TRAV]

Ice Cream is Happy Food.
