I ordered The Legend Of Zelda for my NES last night. I don't recall how I got through life before the internet and Ebay.
Right before I discovered I was pregnant I was in my usual spot, ass planted in front of the computer, drinking milk and eating M&Ms. (Yay for my high metabolism.) My face was starting to break out (Another symptom of pregnancy. This better be the best damn kid in the whole world for making me revisit my teenage acne.) so I had applied a few dots of toothpaste to my chin in order to dry out the zits. While engrossed in someone else's personal life (Possibly Tanya or Raspil.) I accidentally swiped the toothpaste with an M&M on the way to my mouth. I was amazed at how good it tasted... just like chocolate mint chip ice cream. Ta-da! My first craving is born.
I told that story to my in-laws during our last visit and from their reactions I guess I'm supposed to be embarrassed. I probably would be if I weren't all strung out on chocolate brownies and ice cream.
Being pregnant is so frigging weird. Right now I'm not hungry, but my stomach is growling. I just finished eating a bowl of instant mashed potatoes with Tabasco sauce like 20 minutes ago. I'm pretty sure the kidlet gets his or her appetite from Zack.

hope you haven't forgotten what today is... not as important as what you've got going on, but still.

Today's date will forever be burned into my memory. I'll probably be 95 years old, so senile I can't remember my own name, pissing myself every two minutes... and I'll still remember what today is.

My kid made me crave Jack in the Box Ultimate Cheeseburgers, and I'm a vegan.
Hope she thanks me later.

Man, I am so pumped for you! This is awesome! You're going to be the coolest damn mom in Texas!
I craved bologna and Diet Dr. Pepper in the first month I was pregnant. Then I started puking 24/7. It's the only time in my life I actually lost weight without trying.
