♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

By the way, does anyone find their cravings stay consistent or change frequently? Mine are always sweet but jump from one thing to another

Mine are pretty consistent. I crave fruit more than anything, especially strawberries. But I'm loving melon too, which is good because it is in season right now, so I can get it fresh at Farmer's Market.

Mine are jumping around, but I haven't craved anything I don't normally like, has anybody else?

Cheese is staying pretty consistent, and lots of carbs (but I'm always a carboholic). Still not eating much meat or eggs. I do a lot of nuts, dried fruit, and fresh fruit for my fiber. I bought 3 kinds of plums today.

As of today I have a yen for a giant bowl of mashed potatoes with gravy, that may be what's for dinner! DH can cook up the italian sausages for himself.

The weirdest thing is normally I like to eat chocolate almost every day, and baby doesn't seem to like it.

Jamers same! Strawberries and pears 😍

Missmarple that’s what I mean, I’ve always been a chocoholic/sweet freak and that hasn’t changed at all. In the first 6/7 weeks I was mad on egg mayo sandwiches.
Speaking of plums they sound pretty good right now, I honestly didn’t realise you could get more than one type though!

Why do I hate eggs right now?? I don't know!

I went to the fancy-schmancy market.. I got something called "cherry plums" and "tropical plumana pluots" and regular purple ones. I will eat them all.

 

[Emsabub]

Do you miss eggs? Then again I guess it depends on how often you had them before you were pregnant

I googled them and those tropical ones.. wow I neeeeeed some! Nothing wrong with lots of fruit though 😉

My cravings change not just daily, but nearly every meal. I'll go days being good with the same thing then suddenly it will repulse me. Right now i'm on a bagel & amoked salmon kick, but trying to limit ny smoked salmon. I was eating this kashi chocolate cereal but just haven't felt like chocolate recently. Eating has become quite frustrating.

 

[Jamers89]

Eggs are a total no-go right now. They taste AWFUL to me.

We made our public announcement today, and it feels surreal. Can't believe that 1st trimester is almost over.

 

[NovaStar]

No cravings yet, but lots of aversions! They seem to be going away though. Now that I’m in the second trimester I’m excited for cravings. Last pregnancy, it was fruit, salad, hot dogs, and ice.

Talking about gender reveals, we did a party for our daughter. My husband and I already knew it was a girl (I couldn’t help it! I had to know.) and got cupcakes made with pink filling in the middle. Everyone bit into theirs at the same time and it was awesome to see their reactions! For me, that’s the reason I do something fun for the reveal. It’s a big moment and I love seeing big reactions.

This time we can’t have a party. We live in a different state from my entire family so I’m going to mail my parents and in-laws boxes with gender specific items and have them open it on skype. That’s about all I can do to make it fun and surprising.

 

[Emsabub]

Nova I completely get what you’re saying about having to know! No way could I have waited 9 months to find out!

Right! I don’t know how anyone can stay on team yellow until birth. I’d go insane. Haha!

 

[bbbbbbb811]

I wish i was craving fruit like everyone else, I can tolerate it but I don't crave it! I'm more savoury this time, sweet stuff tends to leave a bad taste in my mouth all day. But no specific cravings right now, although i have had some foods I've NEEDED so far.
I'm considering being team yellow this time, but change my mind everyday because I am an inpatient person

 

[MollyMoon]

Team yellow... Lol
I'm way to impatient to be team yellow as well.

My next scan has been rescheduled from Aug 27 to Aug 7! Yay.! I will be getting pics and hopefully we can get the gender if it's clear enough..

I don't really actually crave much but am enjoying eating and crunching ice. I get nausea after I wake up from a nap. every time. and still can't eat much sweets

My ob appointment in next Tues and my manager will be announcing it to all my co workers while I'm gone. Should be interesting!

 

[treeroot]

I didn't find out with my first...I think we'll stay team yellow this time around too

So I was right about my dates possibly changing - ultrasound tech put me at Jan 29 (though I know that's too early technically; guess the babe is measuring big/tall). So I'm still going to follow along here

You’re a snowdrop no matter what!

Team yellow is so funny to me, I don’t want no more surprises, lol.

 

[gigglebox]

I get the appeal, but personally knowing the sex helps me bond with baby. For that reason I'd never be team yellow.

Someone mentioned they didn't like gender neutral clothes, which I automatically think yellow, but white, cream, and (my favorite) gray make for great GN outfits! Or get them in greens & blues and just get one of those stretchy lace & flower or bow headbands to match which automatically turns it girly

All i have are boy clothes so i'm trying to think ahead here

 

[countryblonde]

We were team yellow with my first. It was so easy. And i bought a lot of boys clothes in blues and reds and greys and stuff...i would never be the person to dress a girl in all Pink and purple anyway. With my second we found out on a total whim at my 20 week appointment, but we never even told anybody that we knew. It was the best little secret. This time we will be finding out because i need to know if im in for a 3rd boy or not. But we still will not be telling anyone...i think secretly we just like to drive people crazy..haha!

As for cravings i dont reallly feel like i have any. All ive noticed is that i want way more fresh food than just food right now, which is highly unusual for while being pregnant. To be honest the only thing i really want right now that i obviously cant have is an ice cold beer...maybe thats because we are having a hot summer...but man it would be good

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

Omg hi there 2nd tri!

That was fast...

So I got all of the results back for my carrier screening- thankfully I’m only a carrier of one thing and if the husband is also a carrier, the child would have some possibly extreme hypoglycemia. Not the best thing, but also not the worse considering there’s 178 other things they screened me for that are much more life threatening.

 

[Emsabub]

I’m glad I’m not the only impatient one! 😂
Molly 20 days sooner is amazing! That’s really not that far too, eeek!

Treeroot its good to keep you 😉

Giggle I agree, you can get some lovely grey clothes! I’m just obsessed with that colour anyway haha!

Country fresh food is probably the way to go actually, do you make your own stuff from scratch? If you do you’re amazing, I just can’t be bothered to cook for myself lately. I don’t normally drink but I know my mum had quite a bit of lager & blackcurrant with my brother.

Welcome to 2nd try ER! It feels like only yesterday we all joined this group!

 

[mwel8819]

Nope, could never do team yellow. lol! It would drive me insane and just like was mentioned, that is how I bond with the baby. I like to know who they are before they are here. I had a HUGE reveal party with Gabby and so the pressure is on with this one. lol! We are thinking fireworks this time.

I hit 13 weeks today! Woot! I'm still having brown bleeding and it's so annoying. Nurse said give it another week but doesn't seem concerned at all. It has to be my hemorrhage resolving itself. I'm also having pains that worry me every now and then but then I figure they are probably round ligament pains.

Are ya'll having any kinds of pains?

Yes, lots of pains this morning especially! I was also guessing the round ligament thing, it’s not gas this time, lol.

My spotting is still very slight, I suppose from the current placenta previa that will hopefully resolve itself.

I am also having insomnia, not helped by the fact my favorite effing cat woke me up every 20 minutes last night jumping on the bed or nightstand, all 18 pounds of him. I don’t know what’s got into him!!
