Strange Bedfellows

What do these foods have in common?


These are the three things I have craved during my pregnancy. (I probably would have had cravings for ice cream too, but a good friend has kept us very well supplied, which means, with at least 2 pints in the freezer at all times, I really haven't had to crave.)

The Kraft Singles cravings started first and came on late in my first trimester. At first I thought I needed more protein. Then I remembered that Kraft singles aren't really food, thus not a good source of protein, and probably I should stop eating them.

Late in my second trimester, on more than one occasion, I ate an entire pomegranate in one go while standing over the kitchen sink. I remember at one point being a little glad Julie had the stomach flu so I could justify eating 2 entire pomegranates by myself.

The dark chocolate with raspberries one just hit now. It's awesome. And I'm starting to think that the this, combined with the pomegranate cravings, are because I need all the antioxidants I can get to overturn the effects of those Kraft singles early on.

Coolest cake ever...

It's a little embarassing to say, but we are on baby shower #3. My supervisor at work threw a shower for us today and it was amazing. People were so generous and friendly and aside from making us more prepared to meet this little bugger, it's also getting us increasingly excited for the big day.
Super big thanks to all my colleagues. What a great group of folks.

P.S. Check out this killer cake...
