What was your pregnancy craving??

The crab meat in chocolate milk reminded me that my mother supposedly craved hard-shelled steamed MD blue crabs when she was pregnant with older DSis. My dad belonged to a social club with a bunch of his buddies and brothers and the last Saturday before my sister was born, they had a crab feast. My mother kept eating, and eating, and eating... she wouldn't let them clear the shells from her table because she wanted to see how many she had eaten. She placed the shells in piles of one dozen, and when she had finally had enough, she had eaten almost nine dozen crabs!

In telling this story years later, we always accused her of exaggerating, but several relatives who had been there swore it was true. Mom says the only reason she stopped eating was because the kitchen ran out of crabs, and secondarily, because she was concerned that my sister would be born with claws!

She easily beat my personal best of two dozen!

I didn't really have any. There were some foods I wanted to eat (e.g., mashed potatoes, mac n' cheese), but I tend to want to eat those things normally, so I don't know if you could call it a special craving. Luckily, I also didn't have any foods I couldn't eat or that the smell turned me off (although both chicken and salmon tasted "different"). I also had basically no morning sickness, don't know if all that's realated.
 

Buttermilk, pickle juice and kitkat bars... but not all together! I drank gallons of buttermilk, which I've always liked, but the pickle juice was out of nowhere. I couldn't get my son to breast feed to save my life, and my husband teases me that it's because of all the sour things I wanted during my pregnancy.
