At least, it's MY ultimate pregancy craving. I can't get enough! I guess this is a good thing. I'm a little concerned about all the sugars, but at least I am not shoveling handfuls of gummy bears or potato chips. My favorite so far seems to be peaches. And the farmer's market that moved in at the end of my street (woot!!) promises fresh peaches very soon (double woot!!).
Today, my yummy fruity snacks have consisted of 2 apples, an orange, a peach, a pear, a banana, fresh pineapple, and the second peach that I'm munching on right now. Oh, and lemon slices. Yep, preggos like weird-tasting things, and when you can't find your favorite sour candy at the store, lemons are the next best thing! I do put a bit of sugar or Truvia on them to take the edge off, but oh my...yum yum!!
One of my favorite recent purchases was an awesome fruit basket from Bed, Bath & Beyond. It even has a banana-hanger over the top!! It is prominently displayed on my kitchen island counter, so I usually help myself whenever I walk by my mini produce section...which is often! I'd take a picture of it, but it's empty after today's raid. Maybe tomorrow after my grocery trip. Produce is always the largest selection in my cart (as well as baby spinach, salad veggies, yogurt & chicken for the grill)...and I'm usually standing in front of the person with 6 bags of chips, 2 gallons of ice cream, a 24 pack of root-beer, and a bucket of fried chicken under the arm. More than once, this person has taken a glance at my cart, sheepishly glanced at his/her own selections, and rushed out of line toward the market section with that "Oh, I knew I was forgetting something!" look on their face. Ha!
The latest pregnancy milestone at 16 weeks is that Mini Miller now has taste buds and can taste everything I eat! I wonder what bambino's favorite fruit is??
