It's such a pregnancy cliche' to crave pickles and ice cream during pregnancy. I've never been a big fan of ice cream, but I do enjoy it more now than before. But cliche' or not- what I really crave is PICKLES.
The weird thing is, every time I go grocery shopping, I see the pickle aisle and it looks so DARN GOOD! So I buy a jar. And then when I get home, the pickles don't sound that good anymore! And so we end up collecting jars of pickles for no reason! It's like I crave them- but not to eat. Just to stockpile for no apparent reason:)
So one day last week, Michael decided to be a smart-alec, and he lined up ALL my pickles in the fridge!! So I couldn't get to anything else in the fridge, without reaching through a virtual wall of pickles! I think it was his way of reminding me the next time I went shopping- that we already had enough pickles!!!! It was funny:)
On the upside of this strange craving- I have eaten more pickles than the average person in the last few months. So I am now, a kind of pickle connoisseur! And I can tell you all the yummiest brands!!
So if anyone needs pickle advice- I'm your girl:)

You do have quite the collection of pickles. ;) They always joke about women craving weird stuff when they are pregnant. Pickles and ice cream (I don't think together) are what I most commonly hear. I'm sure it has to do with your body knowing what it needs... e.g. calcium or calories from the ice cream, and salt from the pickles? Anyway, buy as many as you want. Love you tons!
Y'know, it's the weirdest thing -- I craved pickles too! (And yes -- it is very cliche, but I guess very accurate! LOL!) It was sweet pickles that did it for me. Sweet pickles and also pimiento cheese. I had other cravings that came and went, but those two were pretty consistent. :D
