When I was pregnant with my son, who will be 20 in June, my craving was……watermelon!
I was on bed rest with him starting at 32 weeks. I could take a shower once a day. That was all. Complete bed rest!
All I did was read, watch a few game shoes, did word puzzles and crave watermelon. Thankfully my husband and my parents kept me in good supply of cut up watermelon.
At 36 weeks, I was able to move around on my own. So off to the fruit market I went to buy watermelon. But not just 1 watermelon. I would buy 2-3 watermelons at a time. And eat them in no time, then go back for more.
Picture, if you will, a very pregnant woman with nothing but 3 watermelons in her cart. I received plenty of stares, smiles and funny comments!
Despite overdoing it twenty years ago, I still love watermelon! I enjoy my watermelon straight out of the frig!
My son? Yes he likes watermelon, too!!
