Just Give the Girl Some Cake

People keep asking me if I have been getting any cravings.  It's actually a really common question for a pregnant woman, along with, it is a boy or a girl, do you have a name yet?

Up until recently the answer was no, when Nick kindly pointed out that all I ever seem to want to eat was cake. It started with a visit to some friends, the boys were busy talking about sport, I made an excuse that I was going to feed the dogs (which I was) and made a slight detour to a local coffee shop. I bought a $7 romantic novel, a piece of black forest gateau and coffee and sat there for an hour, by myself, eating cake.  It was a really good feeling, doing something just for me, plus with all those chocolate induced endorphins floating around in my bloodstream I felt incredibly satisfied.

Since then it's become an addiction, I'll drive to the local cheesecake shop and buy a single slice, the IGA for cupcake.  Even this weekend when faced with watching five hours of back to back sporting events, I guilted Nick to taking me for a "coffee date" just so I could have some cheese cake.

Typically a chips and dip rather than chocolate girl, its strange to have a sudden sweet tooth. Thank god for my dogs and their constant need to be walked or my ass would be growing to olympic proportions.

Last night I asked Nick how long we had been married for, "Six months on the 10th" he said. "We should do something" I replied.  "Sounds good, what did you want to do?" it was seriously the easiest decision I had ever made. "Let's get a cake".
