What foods did you most crave while pregnant?

ModelMom @ModelMom (129) • United States 11 Dec 06

For some reason with both pregnancies I craved seedless green grapes. Couldn't get enough of them. With my son I also really craved salty things, but this time around all I want is chocolate and sweets!

ModelMom @ModelMom (129) • United States 5 Dec 06

I would love to go spend the holidays with family, but my husband only gets Christmas day off, so we'll be staying home. Doesn't help that my family also happens to live in a warmer climate!
