raving cravings

i think one of the most common questions people will ask you when you're pregnant is whether you've been experiencing any wild cravings.

 

for the most part, since i've been rather symptom-free, i haven't been wanting anything too out of the ordinary.  in the first trimester, it seemed all i wanted was greens and salad.  (thankfully it was a healthy craving).  now in the second, it seems i can't get enough of spicy foods... thai and vietnamese in particular.  what i wouldn't do for a steaming bowl of pho right now!

 

then today in the store i wanted something i haven't eaten in ages.  a cup of ramen noodles.  i guess that's not far off from my thai/viet foods, but i really wanted that overly salty, fake flavoring, hard noodle junk.  and this girl always goes sweet before salty, so i knew it was a random craving.  especially since i hadn't had ramen noodles in, what... 10-15 years??  so i bought a microwaveable cup, the spiciest one i could find, and promptly ate it when i got home.

 

boy, did it hit the spot.  now i'm regretting not buying every cup in that store.
