In addition to honing her new hobby, the cookbook writer revealed her pregnancy cravings have caused her to yearn for ‘sandwiches all the time.’
She joked: ‘If I’m not making, I’m ordering. If not ordering, looking at pics of them. If not looking at pics, I’m learning about new mayos. I had to cancel therapy because I didn’t wanna not think about sammies for 60 mins.’
Her tweets come one day after sharing a sweet video on Instagram of her daughter Luna, four, helping out with a sonogram.

Teigen, who is also a mom to her two-year-old son Miles, concluded her update by saying ‘all is well’ and has yet to specify why she is on bed rest.
Earlier this week, she also opened up to Marie Claire’s Fall 2020 issue, which goes on newsstands September 10, about starting therapy while under quarantine.
‘People think I’m tough, but I’m such an empath, and I take on other people’s pain and sadness as my own. And when I let people down, I’m hyperaware of it,’ the confessed. ‘Sometimes I feel like people aren’t going to be as hard on me as I am on myself.’

She added: ‘I’m barely online anymore, and that was at the request of my therapist.’
‘I didn’t start therapy until quarantine. I used to avoid it and make fun of the idea of it, and then I found the person and it changed my world,’ admitted the supermodel.
