1] I can't get enough of the smell of Dove soap. I even stashed a bar in my car so it smells nice now. So fresh and so cleaaaannnn!!

2] I want lavender everything, though I'm always this way. Contemplating making a pitcher of either lavender or rosemary lemonade this weekend...or maybe will add both.

3] I keep sniffing my Liz Earle cleanser. It's vaguely minty and herbal - such a relaxing fragrance.

4] Aveda stress remedy oil is my jam.

5] I also love how my bird smells. I'm weird like that But hey, he gets a bird bath at least once a week!

I keep having peanut butter mascarpone sandwiches with cinnamon. Just had one with sugar-free strawberry preserves.

Earlier, my chief craving was fresh pineapple, which was weird because I don't recall having had fresh pineapple before.

Cherries. I want black cherries, black forest cake, and I LOVE my black cherry merlot hand soap.

Edit to add: Oh!  Marinara sauce.  All the marinara.  I just want garlicky breadsticks and a pint of marinara.

Otherwise, no weird cravings.

Someone told me fresh pineapple encourages labour so with DS I ate an entire fresh pineapple at 39 weeks 6 days. I went into labor that night. But could be a coincidence. I just bought one today so will probably eat it this weekend!

For me it's been pickled anything. I hate beets but I am looooving pickled beets now. Also eat pickled onions straight from the jar. Like I will randomly eat like 10 throughout the day lol

Now I want pickles!! Pickled asparagus are pretty amazing too...drool.

I've never had a pickled onion or pickled beet before. Are they as salty as a regular pickle? I've been eating tons of pickles. If I have a turkey sandwich I'll stuff 3 pickles in there and eat it all together. Or I'll eat 4 pickles as a snack before I go to bed. I feel like such a weirdo. DH just laughs at all this.

[stinybean]

2. Chocolate milk has been high on the list, especially in the first trimester. I totally food O'ed on it.

I knew that last time around, but I'd forgotten.  I'm SO having a pineapple for dinner at 40 weeks (my mom gets in that night, unless I go into labor sooner.  GD, so I'm not pushing the envelope on sugar with pineapple now.  But my last OB appointment is at 39+5, and at DH's urging, I've given myself permission to ignore my diet.  My mom IS diabetic, so I'm back to being careful once she's here, for convenience/politeness.)  Eggplant parmesan two days later if no baby (had a pedicure, eggplant parmesan, and a glass of wine the night I went into labor with DS.)

[bendherova]

1. Beets
2. prosciutto
3. everything cold.
4. sleeping with a tank top and no pants plus the AC and the ceiling fan on.

I don't have 5 right now. ..but I have really been loving the smell of our garage/the stuff DH is using to work on the motorcycles, our butler's closet, and linen closet. Normally I can't stand the smell of the stuff he uses.

[paintdadanta]

1) Banana Peanut Butter Milkshakes
2) Strawberries with Sugar (Not Powdered)
3) Fruit Flavored Ice Cream (Black Raspberry & Strawberry)
4) Anything Spicy (Fiery Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch Tacos & Bang Bang Sauce)
5) Ice Cubes

[theBeeMama]

1. Chemicals (cleaning supplies, gasoline --is that a chemical?-- fingernail polish and remover.) I mentioned this a while ago but seriously y'all, there is hand sanitizer at my changing table and I have to fight myself to keep from getting some regularly just so the smell will be on my hands. So weird!!

2. Mango and pineapple (to eat and to smell)

3. Matches burning out and my favorite candle (which I think is called Spring Rain or something. Idk, it was 3 bucks at Walmart)

4. My allergy essential oils blend

5. Sugar. Period.

*bonus: WATER. Which is good to crave during pregnancy. But I'm a horrible person if I don't get my 4-6 canteens in every day.
