- Yes with my dd all I wanted was fruit salad with cottage cheese and that's what I ate every single day. Sadly I'm 20 weeks with a ds and all I crave now are pillsbury cookies and cinnamon buns. :(

  - Order a bushel from Al's Family Farm in florida (search for their web site). We order grapefruit and oranges from them all winter and their quality far surpasses anything I can buy in my local NYC supermarket. Plus it's nice not to haul the citrus home.
