CHICKEN FEED AND DIRT ANYONE?

Things are still ticking along, have ongoing cramping in my uterus but lets just hope its from those lovely suppositories i have to use three times a day.

Spoke to my nana on sat after work for a catch up (think she was making sure i was taking it EASY!!) Anyway after telling her the goings on in my body and that i have a new addiction to swissmaid vanilla custard, she told me about her food cravings during her pregnancy with my dad and aunty and uncle, ha ha i was in tears all afternoon and the way she described how yum the food (if you call it that) was i was worried she could still find it very tasty.
*Mental note to tell family to watch nana*
Aparently on the farm she had to feed the chooks in the mornings and mix up the chicken feed with water and after a few weeks of smelling this lovely stuff she said she just had to hook into it and it was soooooooooooooo delicious i nearly wet my pants. But then she continued to tell me another craving of dirt !
I had to asker her twice you mean "DIRT" "MUD" "brown stuff in the ground?"
"of course " she says! Still sounding really convinced that this dirt was just a slice of heaven.
So after jumping the fence in paddocks to find some(clean??) dirt to eat as she was craving it really badly she got down to business eating it , the dirt ?? Ha ha well that was were the conversation ended cause any chance of a normal conversation was out of the question with me, ha ha ha

Ha Ha omg, that's so funny,No wonder you are sooooo down to earth. excuse the punn, as the grandchild of your grandma eating the dirt (earth). Good to hear you doing all good. Try eating oranges x 8 a day, that gave me an 9 pound 11, (ben) or maybe stick to the greasy sausages, that one gave me 7 pound 11 (ash). Not sure which one was better. Looking forward to the next entry on your awesome experience of motherhood. Cheers honey. Lis

I think maybe your nana was just giving you a heads up so that when you start scooping tons of sand or other organic vegetation into your mouth at 7 months preggers you wont feel weird haha, it not uncommon!!!!!!!
