The spawn must be fed!
So, I'm hungry.
REALLY hungry.
I know you think you understand, but you don't.
I have never been this hungry in my life. It's a different kind of hunger. It's not the type that you can ignore. It demands attention. Like, NOW. And I go from being not hungry, to if I don't eat now I'm going to chew my own arm off, in 60 seconds flat.
I feel like my body is being held hostage.
"Just give us what we want and nobody gets hurt"
"But I don't have any Three Musketeer bars"
"Well, you better find a way to get some OR EVERYBODY DIES!"
My favorite part is when I'm eating something, actually shoveling food into my mouth,and I'm still ravenous.
It's like my brain doesn't realize that I'm eating.
I'm almost never satisfied and even when I am, I'm hungry again an hour later.
I'm just going to say this out loud with the hope that if I do, it can't possibly be true:
I better not be having twins.

You may be eating for two, but I'm eating for two and drinking for three.

When I was pregnant my daughter was really tiny and I still couldn't eat anything. I wish I could've shoveled it in! Then I would've had an excuse for how FAT I got! LOL.

HOLY CRAP! Geez, I get busy (not THAT kind of busy) and I don't visit for a few days and you go and get knocked up! Congratulations, sweetie-pie!
The hunger? So totally normal. It'll ebb for a while and then it'll come back. And when you're nursing? Better make sure you have a well-stocked snack supply!

ionolsen21 Great website! Bookmarked! I am impressed at your work!

definitely stock up if you plan on nursing. i'm a vegetarian and there were times i was so hungry i could have easily eaten meat without a second thought. and the worst part, unless you have someone close to you who understands that kind of hunger, no one gets it. they don't believe you could eat a whole pizza and still be hungry.
