I have the weirdest craving for the smell of a sponge after it washes a chalk board. I used to love the smell of it when I was in elementary school and washed the boards but I haven't thought of it until recently. And now that is all I want to smell.

I'm 26 weeks into my second pregnancy and
I've been craving waffle sandwiches made with peanut butter and pickles and cheese in the middle of them . I'm not sure why I came up with that combination, but for some reason it works for me. My fiance thinks I'm crazy but it's soooooooooooo YUMMY!!! :)

This is my first pregnancy and it's with twins, and I'm 21 weeks along. My cravings have been normal for the most part of all mothers to be. I mean I've craved lemons, ice, peanut butter, and lots of pickles but the worst ones that I've had so far is Doritos chips (nacho cheese is the best) with ranch dressing just smothering them, french fries or tator tots smothered in ketchup. But the worst one was green olives with mint chocolate chip ice cream. I ate that in front of some of my co-workers and they quickly made horrible faces and refused to look at me when I ate. But all in all it was really good.

I crave halls Cough drops so much that I have to compensate them with mints or listerine. I also crave lemons. And I easily chomp on more than 50 icecubes a day. I didn't have any cravings until my 3rd trimester though. But my strongest cravings are smells. I want to smell Lysol and Pledge, and gasoline and shoe polish, and new shoes, and lumber stores (ilke Home depot). Anything strong and harsh like car fumes. I don't really give in to them but it's hard because I literally feel this weird feeling in my throat when I smell or even think about one of these smells. Kind of like I can't swallow right. I didn't even tell my fiance this because I can't even make sense of it enough to explain it properly!

It's my first pregnancy and I know it's early in my pregnancy for cravings but i have this one really weird craving that started about 3 weeks ago-i crave funyuns dipped in pickle juice!! Another thing is i can not get enough water in me, i drink like 7 liters of water a day. I also imagine smells and they make me sick-chinese food like orange chicken is what i imagine and i get so sick from that but i'll be going to sleep and the smell is SO STRONG it's CRAZY!!! i can't wait to see what the rest of my pregnancy has in store for me!
