Cravings, something that I thought would not even cross my mind especially when I am having my morning sickness…no, let me correct that, not morning sickness but ‘all day sickness’!
Yes, no kidding, this sickness strikes at any time of the day. Mostly mornings, but other days., it could be at 12pm, 3pm, 5pm, after dinner and even 3am! These sea bands that I am wearing sometimes do not work at all. Ginger ale does not work, whole wheat bread in the morning before getting off bed works for only an hour but does not take the nausea away. But yesterday, I discovered Preggy Pops, which somewhat helped a little bit. No toilet bowl incident yesterday, so that’s a progress right?
But it can be a chore eating food nowadays. Nothing tastes right to me. I was craving for mee siam, cooked some yesterday with my heart and soul. All ready to eat, but after 5 bites, I had to put it aside. Just couldn't swallow it! Same goes with any noodle soup that I could be craving for. The only food that I can stomache right now is plain rice and sushi. Sigh...
Back to cravings, I have one minor (which can turn into a major one if not tended) craving. Frozen chocolate covered bananas!!! I knew that I could get them at Trader Joe’s and my cravings would be fulfilled. But hey, they were out on that those frozen bananas. That was wrong wasn’t it? So my gf called me over the weekend and I deployed her to go to her Trader Joe’s to see if she could get them frozen bananas for me….no luck! It could be a county wide out of stock for frozen bananas at Trader Joe’s.

Then Ely’s craving turned into code red. Ely must have frozen chocolate covered bananas. Tak boleh tahan! So, then I decided to make my own. Bought some bananas, froze them, melted the semi sweet chocs, dipped them bananas, voila! Jadi jugak!
I have been cravings for bananas lately…tak kisah lah how the bananas come in, fried, steamed, dipped or whatever. Maybe I am expecting a boy hehehehe.

Well, we learned that Ely has a special talent...Making chocolate-covered bananas! Ooooh, they were amazing!! Now I'm craving them...
with your description tu, anybody, pregnant or not pregnant or hoping to get pregnant, now all have the same craving.
anita, i know, cant tell whats coming to u in terms of mengidam!
bisutulibuta, for sure i AM going to blimp out in a few more mths after this morning sickness goes away. i can assure u that. no lah, not angry :)
sid presley, husband, u know that ALL of the bananas were for me. now its ur turn to make them for me!
ninuk, hehehheeh betul jugak tuh, minus the morning sickness kan?
all day sickness huh? i hope it goes away. i had it the whole time i was pregnant, till my mouth was all sore and blistered. i hope the drops work. can't wait to see ur glowing pictures.
about cravings..hahaha there is no stopping ely!! be NICE mr.dad okay?!!!
Yah, I wonder why they call it morning sickness when we have it all day and all night with no relief whatsoever. My cravings? 7-up! Chey! And I felt so guilty for taking the nutritionally empty calories, sweetened preservatives and whatever else they put in there drink but I just had to have them. Bananas are good gal, no worries. Heheh.
S_L , talking abt mengidam! I had that 6 yrs ago. Macam macam nak makan but once rite in front of u , eat sedikit thereafter tak bole continue n thats make my hubby angry like monster but he need to control his temper ! As for me, I juz luv tomatoes!!!!!!!! Imagine for the 9 mths , eating tomatoes macam eating chocolates.......macam dlm syurga whenever I hv my tomatoes ! but bila da give birth, tertanya tanya, how come I can enjoy eating that ??? cos now tengok tomatoe pun rasa nak puke !
thats the Beauty of Pregnancy
nazrah, the drops do work. so i have them handy in my pocket and purse all the time. yesterday, thank goodness i didnt get the sickness. but still a task trying to keep food in my tummy. glowing face? not yet? now i look like cr*p!
MG, but 7UP is good for sickness! this time, i dont really crave for soda, just water with lots and lots of ice! and i like it in a glass and not plastic cups! and i dont like to share the ice water with the husband! weird right? empty calories can make up after birth lah, diet like crazy hehehe.
anonymous, tomatoes? hmmm, that sounds good and very healthy too! the baby must have come out glowing like tomatoes eh? yeah thats the beauty of pregnancy, after u deliver u would ask why the hell did u like tomatoes, like me and McDonalds (i ate Mc everyday when i had my son!).
woi! ngidam pisang??!
Definitely a boy Ely! Hehehe ;)
uja, kan aku dah ckp hehehe.
