Orange you glad I didn't say licorice?

Well if we couldn't tell we were pregnant before (which we could) we certainly can now.
It's been pretty funny observing kb's food aversions and cravings. I opened up a bag of licorice five feet away from her and she nearly puked. Same thing happened when I ate leftover sausage pizza, which she readily downed the night before. We've discovered that most sweet things are not happening (with the exception of the occasional ice cream). And I am currently headed to the grocery store to stock up on oranges, grapefruit, pickles, and sauerkraut, yet again.

On top of the cravings, her boobs are bigger and so sore I can barely hug her without making her cry. And she's been a tad moody and reactive (not bad though). She's also developed narcolepsy and is constantly nauseous and burpy. I feel like we can't make any social plans because i can't anticipate when she will fall asleep or feel puky.

So this is pregnancy...and while this may sound like we are complaining, we are actually thrilled. We've been waiting for this for a long time.

Can you bring some of that sauerkraut over here? We can add it to the mustard that Heather is addicted to and maybe throw it over some soft pretzels or veggie dogs...
But seriously, you make it to the store and back and she still wants the same thing??? That's lucky! ;)

She eats at least 3 citrus fruits a day. And when I asked her what she wanted with her sauerkraut, she responded, "a fork." so far the cravings are pretty consistent. And I hope she doesn't change her mind because now the fridge is so crammed with oranges and grapefruit that it barely shuts.
