Much to my chagrin, all the pregnancy books refute the common notion that a pregnant woman is "eating for two." They, in fact, suggest that a woman increase her daily caloric intake by a mere 300 calories to compensate for the hungry, hungry child growing within her belly. After my husband returned last night from a late-night grocery store run to buy me a box of vegetarian corndogs (yes, I am that stereo-typical, funny food-craving pregnant woman), I did a quick calculation. If each corndog has 150 calories, then I can should eat 2 a day until my little wonder is born in order to give him the adequate nutrition he needs.
That computes, right?

Yes it does!
Mmm...corn dogs...
Absolutely! Of course, you might want to save a bit of room for ice cream. :)
Dude... I LOVE corn dogs...
You should continue to blog about any bizarre cravings... I always find that fascinating.
I don't think this has been said on your blog yet, so, CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy!!! We are so excited for you, whether you eat 1-10 extra corn dogs per day. Yeah!!!!!!
Congrats!!! :)
And I think you are totally justified eating as many corn dogs as you want...I mean, how many times do you get to be pregnant?? I have done it twice and think I am done...I should have taken better advantage of the pregnancies, so learn from my mistakes! :)
so you think it's a boy, eh? just wait until you're breastfeeding and you need an extra 500 calories!
