I didn't really have any cravings per se, but when I was battling the lack of appetite and nausea in the 1st trimester, a burger and fries from good old McDonald's was pretty much all that could get down and stay down. Probably why I'm still holding onto about 20 extra pounds!!

With my first pregnancy (my daughter) in 03'/04' it was Cherry Icee.......couldn't be frozen minute maid or any other spin off.......it HAD to be Icee with the white polar bear on the cup!!! I remember sitting in my living room floor with the phone book calling all the gas stations in my town until I found the ones with REAL Icees!!! LOL I would start my day with one......at 6am.......a big, huge cherry Icee! And I adored the cheese fries from Outback Steakhouse. I could literally eat the entire plate all by myself!
With my second pregnancy (my son) in 05'/06' it was chocolate milk! The thought of my big cup of chocolate milk is what would get me outta bed in the mornings. LOL To eat......it was ribs! Lots and lots of bbq ribs! Of course, it's one of the most expensive things at most restaurants. Man, I loved them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probaby have only eaten them like 3 times in the 4yrs since he was born.
Thanks for the fun question!!! I still remember how people here at work laughed at me with my giant morning Icee. =0) Oh! And I loved Club crackers with that Easy Cheese in a can!...........I know, right?!?!? ICK!!! And I could seriously live on Funfetti cupcakes! I always had a box of the funfetti cake mix and a container of funfetti icing on hand at ALL TIMES! Man........i was SO unhealthy!! LOL And yes, I can actually see my feet now. Call it a miracle after my two pregnancies! LOL =0)

My first pregnancy - during the first trimester - KFC mashed potatoes/gravy and KRC mac-n-cheese. After the first trimester - McDonald's fish sandwiches!!! I love french fries but gave up the fries and would eat two fish sandwiches about three to four times a week!
My second pregnancy - Culver's butter cheese burger! I had never ate there before but the butter cheese burger was my best friend about four times a week!
Also, I was a gum chewer but during my first pregnancy I couldn't stand gum, the smell made me nauseas and I didn't want to be around anyone chewing gum. I stayed that way getting pregnant again after my daughter was 8 months old. After about a year after my second child was born, I'm okay with the smell and other people chewing gum but I'm no longer a gum chewer - crazy!
