Exclusive: Mariah Carey Talks Baby, Cravings and Holiday Plans

November 30, 2010 Baby News

Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon are expecting their first child, and the singer opened up to "Extra's" AJ Calloway about her pregnancy and how it's affecting her holiday travels.

Mariah's mum about her growing baby bump and the gender of her child (or children). "I'm not telling anyone," she said.

The singer did talk about her changing body and food cravings. "My fingers obviously swelled a little bit. I can't even get this ring off if I tried. My taste bud situation is unparalleled... I don't know what it is, but I'm just about fruit for some reason. It has to be really good for me to like it."

With Christmas quickly approaching, Carey said that she and Nick usually go to Aspen, but are unable to this year.

"I can't go there this year because of the altitude," she explained. "We're figuring it out. Looking at different options."

The couple enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving holiday. "I didn't feel like doing much of anything," said Mariah. "I did cook... what I cooked was the best thing of the holiday. I'm sorry but it was. I cooked mashed potatoes and corn."
