Dreams of hot dogs and frosty's

I've spent the last four days doing everything I can to resist my intense cravings for hot dogs while wallowing in my own exhaustion on the couch with a sink full of dirty dishes and four loads of laundry sitting on the floor. And isn't that the way it's supposed to be? I mean, c'mon, healthy food and exercise while preggo? Are you kidding me?!

The other day I drove by 7-Eleven and saw a picture of a hot dog and literally had to force myself to keep driving instead of pulling up, running inside, smothering it in mustard and consuming it in two gulps. I don't know what's wrong with me! Oh, wait, yes I do, I'm PREGNANT and that wreaks havoc with my system. I don't usually like frankfurters all that much, but right now a big, juicy dog is pretty much at the forefront of my every waking thought.

It doesn't just stop with the hot dogs either. Last night while sitting on my couch watching 'So You Think you Can Dance' I saw a commercial that almost made me go crazy. It was the Wendy's commercial for there new Frosty-Cino. Now I don't care much for coffee and I definitely don't crave it. But seeing this commercial made me want to run to the closest Wendy's and get the largest Frosty-Cino they made. I told my husband I had to have it. He of course was not going to get me one because it was about 9:30 at night and raining cats and dogs. I thought about that Frosty all night long. Its been a week and I still want one, but I always pass the Wendy's on my way home and never stop. Today just might be the day that I stop and try one. I think I am afraid it will disappoint me because I imagine it to be the most amazing frost cappuccino ever made.

So why do woman get crazy craving while there pregnant? I am not sure, I have always heard whatever you are craving is what your body needs for the baby. I am almost certain that a pregnant woman made that lie up to justify her bizarre cravings and to make herself think its ok to indulge in them. I want to enjoy the last 3 months of my pregnancy and I plan on doing everything I can. If that means eating all the things that I crave then so be it.

What did you crave during your pregnancy? I have heard of some pretty crazy things!
