Mint Fetish

Throughout this pregnancy, mint has been a staple that I just can't seem to live without. I really liked mint during my pregnancy with Bo as well, but this pregnancy the craving started sooner and has been more difficult to curb.

Since I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, my mint of choice has been Peppermint Breathsavers. It has to be this specific kind, in the roll. We buy the value packs, which we've only been able to find at Wal -Mart. I typically go through at least one roll of these per day.

I also really enjoy brushing my teeth. Not only does my breath smell good -- but I should have very clean teeth as well. However, I am very picky about my toothpaste and it has to be a specific tube of Crest Whitening Plus Scope. None of the other toothpaste tastes right or satisfies the craving. Ahh... it's pretty sad when brushing your teeth is orgasmic. ;)
And, finally, my last mint craving of choice is the traditional York Peppermint Patty. We've also taken to buying these in bulk from Sam's Club, as I was going through a bag in just a few days. We now have the box of 200. However, I have to limit my consumption. Before being diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I was eating between 5-10 of these a day. Now I'm trying my best to limit my consumption to just 2. But mmmm... they are just so good.
