Mmm, Donuts...

"Cravings affect 10 out of every 10 pregnant women."
~Unknown Husband

A question that frequently comes up is, "Are you having any weird cravings?" There really hasn't been anything out of the ordinary; an occasional bar of chocolate or bag of gummy bears will usually suffice. But when those blood-deprived Edward Cullen eyes begin to surface, there's only one thing that will satisfy this hunger: DONUTS. This past weekend, Mommy took a short trip to Austin and was able to experience the culinary temple known as Gourdough's. While their names may sound like urban dance moves, the Dirty Berry and Flying Pig (pictured in all their glory below) provided the perfect blend of fruit, meat, dairy, and deep-fried pastry. Daddy is keeping his fingers crossed that Baby Campos' first tooth won't be a sweet one.


While satisfying pregnancy cravings are very important to the happiness of a Mommy-to-be, sometimes these urges can lead to sketchy situations. On a late-night donut hunt during the first trimester, the only nearby open establishment was a small shop on the corner of a dimly lit street. One worker was behind the counter, a homeless man was panhandling outside, and a lone customer was reading a newspaper from the previous week in the back booth. Suddenly Mommy and Daddy realized that they had just walked into a scene from BOOGIE NIGHTS. Not wanting to find out if this would all end like the clip below, the deep-fried goodies were promptly bought and a promise was made to never again go looking for donuts after the sun goes down.
