Having Weird Cravings?!

Saturday January 4 th 2025

**Carina woke up and went to the kitchen and got a bunch of grapes and decided to have them be frozen and eat them later... she didn't know why she woke up in the middle of the night craving them.... **

1h38 am

{ better get up and get a bowl of grapes and ouhhhhh freeze them and eat them later today....}

2h09 am

Maya : babe , did I imagine you got up just now and went downstairs in the kitchen and opened the freezer door?

Carina: ohhhh yes, I did do that... I don't know why but i was craving grapes... but FROZEN GRAPES.. so I did get myself a bowl and put them in the freezer...  and I randomly... my lower back is killing me again...

Maya : Hrmm alright, I was just making sure I wasn't crazy or hallucinating things!

Carina: hrmmm okay ! Wait ... don't you think it's weird to crave something even if I'm not pregnant? Because I never not craved anything non pregnant before until now!

Maya : Ohhh babe ,? It's not weird at all... you must have been really hungry for some frozen grapes... that's all.  I can give you a back massage if you want to. It did help you fall asleep the last time i gave you one ?

Carina: hrmmmm okay , and later on today can you please give me a full body massage since I didnt get mine yesterday when Leslie was here, I feel so bad for not getting it.. she had her two huge massages tables out and ready for us and I didn't even apologize to her for that! But the back massage.. can I please have it now?

Maya : ohhhh babe, she understood why you didn't came back downstairs... You were upstairs with our son who has had an ear infection since before Christmas... she's not angry at you at all babe ! Okay ? She even said that she wants to be a wonderful mother too , prioritize your children health first before your own wellbeing and your own needs is what qualifies as an excellent and extraordinary mother..  which is what you are babe!

Carina: she really said that?

Maya :Yasss ! And I even said that I agree with her, and that I would never be able to be that kind of mother... obviously I put our children needs before mine but it didn't come naturally to me , I had to develop that side of me... and over the years I have become more intuitive about it !

Don't you think?

Carina: siiiiii , I really do ! And you are just as excellent and extraordinary of a mother than I am babe, we're both still figuring out how parenting works, and how to parent a kid versus another kid...

Maya : hrmmm you are so right!

And I will gladly give you a full body massage for as long as you want it to be!

Carina: hrmmmm okay ! Thank you!

** she kissed her wife several times and pulled her into the bed and started kissing her and caressing her cheeks gently ... they both fell asleep at 2h38 and were desperate for some extra hours of sleep... Niccolas and Charlotte managed to get enough sleep ... everyone had a good night of sleep. They all woke up at about eight thirty in the morning... everyone except Carina ... poor thing she was beginning to feel really sick ***

8h39 am

** Maya is making breakfast and the young kids noticed that Carina was still asleep**

Giovanni and Salvatore: mommy , why is momma still sleeping? Is she okay?

Maya : ohhh she's uhhh , okay , i think she's starting to feel sick again but I don't know what she has... but she needs us to be careful and gentle with her okay ?
