Why the Cravings?

When I was pregnant with Reina, everyone kept asking me what foods I was craving. Cravings? I had no idea what they were talking about. I never craved a single food item, other than what foods I have always naturally liked. The only thing I remember is that I couldn't stand chocolate!
This time around is so much different! Morning sickness (luckily that passed quickly without a single purge), headaches that force me to lay down at 7pm and hope that it won't be so extreme I throw-up again, and the cravings! I actually have cravings this time. Not a fan of this, since for the last month it has been donuts! I am not a typical donut eater, maybe 2 a year? But I feel so much better if I've had my apple fritter or a gooey cinnamon roll, okay maybe both. I know, I'm gonna look like a cinnamon roll soon but I can blame it on the baby right? Luckily I can't tolerate chocolate with this pregnancy either, so I can say I've kicked my chocolate habit for a while now. Early on I had cravings for cucumbers...couldn't get enough of 'em. And throughout I have consumed much more fruit than I typically do. Peaches, plums, watermelon, apples, berries- it's all good. Can't forget about pizza- lovin' the marinara sauce!
Okay, so people say that based on cravings you can tell if you're gonna have a boy or girl. They say if you crave sweets then it's a girl, but if you crave bread, meat and pizza it's a boy. Wow, tough call. I think I'm split, just like Paul and I are split with what we think the sex of the baby is. We'll be happy whether it's a sweet peach or if it has a bread stick.
