I've always been small. Small framed, small weight, small everything... including areas I wished I wasn't so small in. Before getting pregnant, the heaviest I ever weighed was 125. And I was unhappy with it. I'd like to smack my pre-pregnant self right about now. Anyone care to join me?

The first stages of my pregnancy weren't quite like my other friends. While they were all busy hugging toilets, I was starving. All I could think about was food and when can I eat again. My hubby would crack up, because we'd be hanging out and every hour, I'd say in a small, slightly embarassed tone, "I'm hungry..." From what I gather, most ladies don't gain much in their first trimester, simply because they don't feel like eating anything. For me, I never got morning sickness. But the idea of eating certain foods made me a little queasy. Those foods? Fruits and veggies. Go figure. I was starving, but the thought of those healthy options made me want to gag. So for the first 8-12 weeks, bread was my BFF.

And then the cravings hit.
