Heavenly Father's Tender Mercies

Right now, Edy's Fruit Bars have been my saving grace, lime in particular. Seriously, a box will last me two days, if I'm lucky...and no, I'm not sharing with Hayden. Anyway - they slowly hydrate me (because if I drink too much liquid it will become a puke-fest) and they are made with ACTUAL, so I feel like I'm getting SOME sort of nutrients out of them. I had three left in the freezer this morning, and within minutes of Hayden going down for a nap they were gone. I sat here thinking...it's HOURS before Mike will be home with a car and even then I have to work tonight. No Popsicles until 10pm??? Devastating!!! I didn't think I could handle it, so I called in for reinforcements. "Timi will save me!" I thought. I dial her number so fast I swear there is smoke coming from my fingers.


She answers the phone in, I swear the most angelic voice known to man, "Hello?" I ask her what she is up to and she said, "I was just going to call you to see if I could come borrow your air mattress". I said "Funny thing! I was just going to call YOU to see if you needed to go anywhere". She asked what I needed and I said "Popsicles!" She said "I have Popsicles in my freezer right now"...and me, being the ever-so-picky pregnant lady, knowing the awful watered down Pop*sicle brand wouldn't cut it, cautiously asks "what kind?" And then that's when I heard the Hallelujah Chorus. "The Edy's Fruit Bars, Lime, Strawberry and Wild berry".

The only thing that escapes my lips is "LIME! LIME! LIME!" and she promises me all of the lime Popsicles in the box.

So there you have it, ladies and gents - Heavenly Father even cares about the crazy cravings of a pregnant woman.

At least you've found the thing that helps :) And I think that every pregnant woman is entitled to be ultra-picky. How else would you survive? ;)
