My inner carnivore is on the rampage.

Know what's frustrating, even at 13 weeks? Food cravings.

We have a metric TON of cookies in our house - Belgian chocolate-covered ones, Philipino shortbread cookies, coconut macaroons, you name it - courtesy of my brother's girlfriend. But am I craving sweets? Noooo.

Literally, all I want to eat is meat - turkey sandwiches, hamburgers, ruben sandwiches piled with corned beef and sauerkraut. :( I don't have any inclination to eat these cookies, and they're sitting in their tins collecting dust.

Oh, and root beer. All I want to drink lately is root beer. It's bizarre.

Maybe I should give the cookies away? I know my coworkers would eat them in the blink of an eye.

Looks like you're wanting some iron.

I know, right? But ironically (haha, "iron"ically) my prenatal vitamin has TONS of iron. And I'm not anemic, by any measure.

I take this as a sign that I'm right in being on Team Penis! *snicker*

well meat has ferritin which helps you process iron which vitamins don't so I can see it. Right now you're producing red blood cells for two, I think

Ahh, I see. I did not know that. Makes sense, then!

I like to think I know what I'm having, but the truth is we won't know for sure until another month from now. I can wait...I think. :)
