Could someone please explain to me why in the world I am craving a Twinkie?

Good grief, of all the pregnancy cravings...at least most of them have been moderately healthy. With, perhaps, the exception of the donuts, and that was months ago.

Through all four pregnancies, I craved Burgundy Cherry Ice Cream. I don't think I've seen it anywhere for years, so it's a good thing I was pregnant when I was ;-).

I didn't want just the cherries, of course. I wanted the ice cream :).

I've never even heard of that.

The donut thing was awful. I wanted nothing but the awful Drakes/Entemans/ Hostess awful yellow cake donuts with the waxy chocolate coating. Now it's Twinkies. I admit that most of my cravings have been better...pickles, oranges, peaches, that sort of thing.

I kind of hope that after pregnancy some of this weird food stuff subsides.

than ghu that the nearest 7-11 is 1 mile in either direction and i probably need to find the nearest 24 hour supermarket.

Oh, getting a Twinkie would be no problem, if I were okay with the idea of having one right now.

I may ask

zedrikcayne to bring one home if he's on his way at a reasonable hour and I still want one. I'm just hoping that it passes and I move on to eating something more sensible.

I drank *pepsi* while I was pregnant. PEPSI! I am a _coke_ person, pepsi tastes foul. Pregnancy really messes you up :)

I had no idea about the Pepsi.

Mike's a pepsi drinker, so when I started preferring the taste of pepsi over coke, it was proof positive I was carrying his child. *grin*

Has Zoe expressed a preference yet, or has she not had the opportunity to sample enough to make a choice?

I'd largely given up cola well before pregnancy because of the caffeine issue, but during my pregnancy, I've had a startling amount of regular, not diet Coke to drink. Far more than I'd typically have. I'm not sure what it is-I think actually it's largely a mouth-feel issue...I like the heaviness of Coke in my mouth when I've got the whole extra saliva/cotton mouth/unbearable pregnancy thirst.

Um, I totally started craving carbs within about a week of labor. In retrospect, I think I did that both times, but I remember posting about it somewhere or other with Astrid.

Carbs are one thing...but a Twinkie? How much worse could I get for comestibles of desire?

And it's too soon for labor. I haven't even ordered the car seat yet!
