Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies » Pregnancy cravings

Natalie
From hopeful TTC, through infertility, IVF and the resulting pregnancy, this became a journal through grief and trying again after the loss of our first son, Devin, at 36 weeks. After multiple more IVF cycles we got pregnant with our second child, a little girl born healthy and alive in May of 2010. Our third child, a most unexpected surprise baby girl, was just born in June 2012!

Pregnancy cravings

September 21, 2011 — 12:35 am

I am up late. I am up late eating salmon cream cheese at my computer. It feels like I may starve to death if I don’t eat right before bed. I run out of chips, but instead of putting the cream cheese away like I should, I go get more chips. It’s good cream cheese.

Finally I feel done, full. I put it away and go let the dog in. I’m tired, I’m looking forward to bed.

As I tip-toe through the kitchen and turn off the light a box of cheerios catches my eye. Cheerios sound good. I should have some in the morning. I continue to the bathroom to get ready for bed, but all I can think about are the damn cheerios.

It is now 12:34am and I am sitting at my computer eating a bowl of cheerios. (Of course this means I’m going to have to pee again in an hour. Damnit.)

Oh…I remember those days….it is a vicious cycle…but enjoy it…you can only eat with reckless abandon a couple times in your life and this is one of them.
