As if the ever-growing expanse of my belly, actual ultrasound pictures, listening to the baby's heartbeat, surviving morning sickness, and experiencing here-to-fore unknown levels of exhaustion in the past 2 and a half months weren't enough... I have more proof that I am, in fact, pregnant. In the past 3 days, I believe I have consumed over a gallon of skim milk. On my own. In cereal (Cinnamon Toast Crunch, thanks very much) or in a tall glass - always very cold (because even minorly lukewarm milk makes my stomach turn).
I know - most women crave normal things like pickles or Chinese food, or delicious things like chocolate malts and peanut butter cookies. And while I enjoy eating all of those items- it is the bountiful wonder of skim milk that I cannot stay away from.
Weird.
(On an aside - I'm a little perturbed that the picture of skim milk is from Kroger - because our milk either comes from Meijer or Quality Dairy. Always. But the only other milk pictures I could find weren't clearly labeled "skim." And heaven forbid anyone click on that picture and think I've been enjoying Vitamin D Milk all weekend long. Ick. Welcome to my world of Things I Care Too Much About That NO ONE Else Would Ever Notice.)
Honestly, the thought of you drinking that much milk is making me sick. Blah...
ReplyDeleteI know, it's almost creepy.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll only drink skim, and only if it's really cold.
If that helps.
I think it still makes me crazy. :)
I've really enjoyed large glasses of ice cold milk myself throughout my pregnancy. --- skim milk of course!
ReplyDeleteBut slushies are still my favorite pregnancy "craving".
Should I gross you out with the information that Mark and I are now drinking raw milk? Whole, unpasteurized, and unhomogenized from a local dairy farmer. :)
