Cravings and Recommendations

On the advice of "Mrs. Elliot," Kelly read The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy while we were on vacation this past week. She was kind enough to share all the really graphic parts with me, too. This book is definitely a must read for first-time mothers. It really does cover a lot of the things you don't want to know but should, and it's entertaining, too. Kelly was laughing out loud every other page or two.

One of the things she read about early on was "sympathy weight gain." Supposedly, the father to be will sometimes gain weight during a pregnancy. I'm afraid that I'm going to become walking proof.

Kelly and I have discovered that when her tastes changed, mine changed right along with them. Maybe it's all the hormones dripping from the walls. When she started craving dairy (cheese in particular), so did I. All to often our eyes light up together at the grocery store.

We've always been of similar mind when it comes to snacking, but this is getting weird. I don't think we've ever said "I could really go for..." "Yeah. Me, too," this much before.
