Calendar of Cravings

Baby Bob has profoundly changed my diet...and I don't mean just removing wine and Basil Hayden Manhattan's. From early on in the pregnancy to today, what tastes good and what satisfies me is completely different from where I was 10 months ago. I thought I'd share with Baby Bob the food that he/she has enjoyed over the last 9 months - it will be interesting to see if this holds true for them when they start eating solid foods:

First Trimester:
Likes:

• Pineapple, Pineapple and more pineapple.
• Oranges and grapefruit.
• Apples with peanut butter.

Dislikes:

• Anything fried
• Meat
• Fatty foods.

Second Trimester:
Likes:

• Watermelon, watermelon and more watermelon
• Any fruit - pears, apples
• Fruit juice - pear, peach, etc
• Arnold Palmer's - Lemonade
• Any salad, ideally with seafood on it
• Brea's French Vinaigrette
• Pancakes

Dislikes

• Fatty breakfast foods

Third Trimester

Likes:

• Ice cream - and lots of it. Ideally Starbucks Javachip...YUM
• Anything frozen - lemonade, Popsicles (otter pops OMG)
• Arnold Palmer's - lemonade/ice tea

Dislikes:

• n/a

There seems to be a fruit theme...this is the first time in my life I've enjoyed fruit even generally let alone to the volume/scale I have recently. I hope these are good lifetime habits and that Baby Bob enjoys them when he/she gets here too! Thanks BB for making your Mom healthier.
