Cravings

I'm fascinated by the cravings pregnant women get. I keep asking my wife if she's got any yet. I think it's starting to annoy her. And she hasn't yet, that she's aware of. She did really want a Mr Whippy the other day, but she thinks that's just because Mr Whippys are really nice. We went on quite a long and ultimately fruitless expedition in search of one. I hope our failure wasn't some sort of omen.

I wonder if fathers to be get sympathy cravings. About half an hour ago I was struck by sudden thoughts of sushi, and would have rather enjoyed eating some. Is this what cravings feel like?

Of course, the more likely explanation is that I had sushi for lunch and had just done a burp, leading to what I have previously termed a "food memory". But I suppose we'll never know.

One thing is certain: my sympathy belly is developing nicely.
