♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

Molly California rolls are cooked! Do it!

Mwel :rofl: poor thing. That was me begging for a sister around that age (i had 2 older brothers). Little did i know dad was snipped :haha: but i feel her pain!
 
Lol so cute, sounds like my little drama queen.

At the OBGYN right now!! Will update when I'm home!! :)
 
Kiwi- can’t wait for an update!

Mwel- lol, what a cutie! Hope she gets that sister she so desperately wants. I worked hard on my daughter to prepare her for a possible brother and then we found out it was a girl and she says “I wanted it to be a boy” after WEEKS of her saying she wanted a sister. *sigh*

Also...I don’t obey any of the pregnancy food rules. lol...I eat lunch meat and drink caffeinated sodas (not a lot) and eat hot dogs and Brie...I don’t like sushi though so that’s not an issue. Haha! I just have zero self control and lysteria is so unbelievably rare that I figure if I go to a good place it’ll be fine.
 
Nova i'm the same. I was super crazy with ds1 about it which was sooooo hard because i craved lox the entire time! Ds2 i loosened up after i did research and saw all recent listeria and salmonella outbreaks were things like cantaloupe, frozen spinach, jalapeños, hummus...all things they never warn about!!! If i get lox i try to eat it within a day or two of opening it. I still cook deli meat though :blush:
 
I agree, people have died here in the UK recently from listeria in frozen vegetables sold in loads of supermarkets. I was super strict with my first two, and my last LO and this one much more laid back. I just make sure my hot dogs are super hot all the way through and the runny eggs are lion stamped etc, the only thing I do avoid fully is alcohol but that's my personal choice, I know others choose differently.

Yessss you made me feel so much better! I definitely drink caffeine as well. I TRY to drink water but I hate it sooo much!

Oh, I absolutely avoid alcohol but I didn't think that was a question. lol! I was talking about things like sushi, soft cheese, caffeine...the more debated ones. lol!
 
I’ve found that most doctors have loosened up about these kinds of restrictions. They learned at one point that tons of alcohol and caffeine is bad, but like a small amount isn’t harmful at all. In fact, they say 200mg of caffeine a day is fine. That’s a ton imo. That’s 16oz of coffee. I like my iced tea, so I usually only have about 64mg of caffeine at a time...and not even daily. Maybe a few times a week as a treat. I crave coke so sometimes a can of that is my special Saturday night treat. But yea, same with alcohol (which I don’t drink even when not pregnant), a small amount won’t harm the baby, so a glass of wine on your birthday or anoversary or champagne on New Year’s Eve isn’t gonna be a big deal. *shrug* to me it’s just about moderation and being smart. Like, I’m not gonna eat unpasteurized cheese that’s been sitting in the sun for an hour.

Great way to put it! I agree!:happydance:
 
200mg is barely 2 cups of the coffee I use lol. Thankfully I don't drink more than two cups of coffee most days.

The little peanut is doing great!! Right on track, 20+3 weeks along! Heart rate was 159. Sadly no gender announcement :(. The little stink had the umbilical cord between it's legs. They did say I could have another ultrasound in about 2 weeks. I still have to wait for the results but they did the gestational diabetes screening to make sure that it didn't start early (since I've had it previously). I also started the Makena shots which I will be taking every week until 36 weeks. They drew my blood and did a pap smear, of course I'm waiting on the results still. I'm really sad that I couldn't get the gender on a little piece of paper so that we could have cute little cupcakes filled with pink or blue filling. Still just a waiting game here. I've added the ultrasound picture, they only gave us two pictures and the second one is not as good as the first so sadly I only have one picture to post. Feel free to guess on what you think the gender might be!

My new due date is January 13th, but that would put me at 20+5 weeks with my ticker :shrug:.

 
Ohhh i'm guilty on coffee...I probably have about 2 cups a day. Otherwise I am completely exhausted and if I skip it altogether I get pretty bad headaches.

Kiwi! Awwww <3 glad all is well but ugh so disappointing when they don't show their bits! :haha: I don't know why but my first inclination is girl :thumbup:
 
Kiwi- Well I'm so glad to hear that your peanut is doing well. I think I will have to go to a fast ultrasound to find out the gender if our baby does that on Tuesday. lol! Our reveal is planned on the beach so I HAVE to know. Do ya'll have quick places you can go and pay like $60 for a 4D sneak peak?
 
My doctor's list says only 100mg of caffeine every day or 1 cup of coffee. I don't know why she's more conservative on that than most internet sources which say 200mg.

I don't drink coffee, but I've been drinking as much iced tea as I want, so I'm not sure how much caffeine I ingest.

She also has a restriction on premade things like chicken salad (same as deli meat, because of listeria). I assume she would feel the same way about the California Roll mixture.

I'm trying to follow all of the food rules except for the tea because the 5 miscarriages have made me very paranoid. I'm not saying any of them happened because of something I ate, but there you are. Do I have to be logical? :blush:
 
Just your convo about sushi kicked up the craving for my favourite California rolls.. Mmmm.... But can't get to town till next week

Glad you finally got your scan kiwi too bad bubs was hiding the goods tho.. Hopefully next scan youll have your team color:thumbup:

I feel my belly button stretching a lil more each day and on the verge of the pop! It's also very tender at times. Plus baby girl is more active especially between 7-10pm. I felt her from the outside finally! How bout you guys?
 
Molly how far are you? You need a ticker :haha:
I'm barely feeling movement so definitely not feeling from the outside yet. He seems really low down, I usually feel him when I'm sitting straight up and it's low.

LOL yeah a ticker! I'm 20w2d..at my ultrasound on Tues baby is laying like a log across and facing forward which I had a feeling was the case haha u/s tech was trying to get a shot of her spine but she wouldn't turn so he had schedule me back just for pics of the spine.
But that's probably the only reason I can feel on the outside now this last week.
They're so funny when they don't want to to move nothing can make them:haha:
 
I&#8217;m 19 weeks today and I&#8217;m feeling this boy move all the time and now I&#8217;m seeing and feeling him on the outside!! I forgot how cool and exciting it all is lol
 
W8 I just had my last boy less than 16 months ago and I'm STILL amazed this time at feeling everything! I know I'll be blown away when I can start seeing it from the outside.

It still blows my mind I have a person inside my body :shock:
