January Jellybeans 2013!...

this lil boy has me drooling at all kinda weird things: ice (cant get enough!) dishwashing soap, bath soap, shampoo, baking soda, bleach; thankfully i haven't had any urges to eat any but boy do they smell good! i just stand there taking it in and drooling

Craving ice is a sign on iron deficiency.

Just asked DH to pick up Tums for me on his way home from work. He said, "I'm kind of disappointed it took you this long to have me stop and get you something." I think he will feel more included as the 3rd tri progresses because I don't feel like moving.

Dh is on my last nerve today I really think he can be so sensitive that I can't believe I have someone like him to this insensitive guy and I don't know where it comes from
He says shit just to piss me off then takes it back but I don't forgive that easy I really don't need any extra stress I go Monday for my diabetes to see a dietician it will take about 2hours I doing everything I can without having to deal with him!!!!

The last time my iron levels were checked, my midwife was pleased and surprised at how high it was, she says she rarely sees them so high these days, so unless they've plummeted since then. I dunno, i'll continue taking my supplements tho.

Here's the list of Pregnancy Safe OTC meds for colds that my OBs office gave me:
Benadryl, Chlor-trimeton, Dextromethorphan, Dimetapp, Guaifenesin, Robittussin, Nasal Saline Drops, Cough Drops, Tylenol

Sometimes an anti-histamine can help with congestion:
Alavert, Allegra, Claritin, Chlor-trimeton, Tavist, Triaminic, Zyrtec

Maybe one of those can help? I agree hot tea with honey really helps with a sore throat. Stay hydrated and take it easy.

I was told to avoid decongestants by my pharmacist. She said decongestants decrease blood flow, which can decrease flow to the baby. She told me the best thing I could do for being congested was to get one of those pots that you place saline into. Then you can wash out your sinuses.

DH's can be very frustrating. I hope your dietician meeting goes well. I've been on my GD diet for three days now. It's not so bad. I actually really appreciate when I get to eat my food now (I have 6 meals a day). I'm definitely eating better than I was before, so maybe it will help me lose weight after the pregnancy.

My mum was always so incredibly healthy and always dropped alot of weight during her pregnancies because she did so well with the GD diet.

None of those medications are decongestants. Decongestants are things like pseudophedrine. This is the list the OB gave me. I trust it implicitly.

I feel bad for your ladies having problems with your DHs. I am the opposite right now.

I am having a surge of happy hormones that is making me super clingy and mushy with DH right now. He's taken notice and even called me during the day to make sure I am not blue. It's a nice turn from the hormonal rage of the first and second trimester. Hope it sticks around!!!

 

[Betheney]

i'm so medicated this pregnancy and half of them aren't recommended for pregnancy

Evening ladies. I've been silently stalking all day. 2nd day of BH and have been running on next to no energy. I had some serious cramping and pain earlier. Thankfully that has since eased up. I was a little nervous because of the 2 days of BH and then adding the cramping and pressure was not what I wanted to be feeling. I'm resting now. I just got DD off to bed and still need to put away dinner but then it is in for a nice warm shower and to rest under the blankets to wait for DH to come home.

My housework is driving me insane. I wanted to mop and vacuum and wash my sheets so bad today but I'm just drained. My grandma told me I need to learn to let things go. She said I know your house isn't messy so those little things can just wait until you are feeling better. Smart woman.

I have started a few new sewing projects. I'm currently working on a blanket which is turning out so cute! I am going to put a silk lining around it. I'm also starting on some bibs. I bought a fat quarter bundle the other day and have a cute little bib pattern to use for those. I think I might be able to get 8 bibs out of the 4 pieces. We will see.

NJ ladies I'm glad to hear you are all ok. I hope your power gets back on quickly! I know how frustrating that can be. to all you!!

Betheney I hope you are doing better and I hope you get some time with Eva!

Ditty I am feeling the same way towards DH. Although I am getting frustrated because I have the urge to lay up close and snuggle with him and my gigantic stomach is making me unable to. Another reason I am ready to have my body back! I have hit the point that I am unable to maneuver this belly around.

Kaiecee I hope your GD diet goes well!

Hope all of you ladies enjoy your showers! I can't wait to see photos!!
