You may be pregnant if...

...your eating habits completely change!

There is often food brought into the newsroom; leftovers from a catered lunch appeared at about 2PM today. Tins and pans of all sorts of things - and then I saw it: the mother lode: a 5-layer chocolate cake with chocolate fudge frosting!

While I haven't been eating wheat, I couldn't resist. I decided, I'll have half of a small piece - the frosting looked so rich I was sure that would be enough.

I can't eat it. I have no taste for it - no sweet tooth! Now, for you to get the full impact of this revelation let me remind you of a few things: one, I am a S******* (maiden name). We S*******s have never met a dessert we didn't like. Two, I have never in my life (that I can remember) turned down chocolate. Three, I have never turned down fudge. Four, I have never met a dessert that is too rich for me.

On the flip side do you know what I have been craving for about a week? A juicy bacon cheesburger. My mouth waters just typing it. What sounds good for breakfast? Bacon cheesburger. Lunch? Bacon cheesburger. Dinner? Yep - you got it. Dessert? No, thanks. I'll have another bacon cheeseburger instead.

That could be an early pregnancy symptom. If so, I'd venture to guess I'm having a boy (the meat cravings) and the he takes after Ryan (the ability to turn down dessert). Tomorrow's beta number will tell...
