Myelle: The Craving is Back

The Craving is Back

When I was pregnant with Kyler, I think I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch just about every other day. Well, the peanut butter craving is back already with this pregnancy. Not so much the jelly (although I am out of my favorite kind), but oh man am I loving the peanut butter! I'm trying not to go through a whole jar in two weeks time. Yikes!
