July Sparklers 2016!

[RedButterfly]

Well it's 1.10am and 10 minutes ago I had to go downstairs and make me a huge bowl of chocolate weetos. I couldn't ignore the wanting them! Plus my belly was rumbling all over the place! Is it bad I want to go get another bowl?!

 

[Pink Petals]

Would like to join! Expecting my second on July 27.

Luv, your baby is gorgeous! So happy all is okay.

Cass, wow, Lapland. It's where I've always wanted to go. We are hoping to go when this little bean is 2, and my little boy is 6. It sounds like you had a lovely time! But I can imagine it's a bloody exhausting holiday with pregnancy hormones rushing about. Welcome home and glad you had a nice time!

Last couple of days have been hard over here. The nausea was all day from 5.5 weeks, and suddenly stopped at 7 and was replaced by just hunger. But at 7+5 it returned with vengeance and it's been so hard as I have been so
Busy. All I've wanted to do is snuggle in bed avoiding all things sociable, especially as we still haven't told anyone. This time of year is always so busy and it really is no fun having to meet up with groups of friends for lunch and having in laws for dinner and feeling so sick the sickness even wakes me up at night sometimes. Not that I'm complaining of course! But this pregnancy is a shocker compared to my first. I found an old diary entry from when I was pregnant with my little boy that said how great I was feeling at 7+5 weeks and how I didn't feel at all pregnant. It made me laugh. I have felt so bloody pregnant and sick this time around from 3+4!

Just a week to go until my scan now. Beyond excited and impatient.

Hope you're all well and I hope everyone that feels ill has a lovely relaxing weekend.

Hi all!

It's been a crazy week, last week of the semester so I'm editing papers and maybe even found my mentor for self- designed arts courses next semester. Now just to design the courses!

That's great about everyone's scans & ones coming up, I'm supposed to see my dr & possibly get one the 14th. It will ony be an abdominal, so not very detailed, but I really hope I get a picture this time!

I was worried about my symptoms suddenly kind of easing up, but it seems from
Some of your stories that my be normal! Whew! The severity definitely comes and goes...although I am starting to eat a lot better now, so I think eating more helps a lot, at least eating somewhat regularly. After my nausea subsides I made homemade peanut butter ice cream, and various doughnuts! Wow. Thank good ness I've only gained 1-2 pounds! I was really worried because I gained so much with DD, but I was severely anorexic at the time and kind of needed to gain 25 pounds the first 6 weeks lol. Normal start weight this time, normal gradual weight gain! Woop!

Well I have school stuff to finish but I also just randomly started watching The Returned last night, & love it!!!! (2012 tv series). I'm thinking maybe I can watch ahead and not tell hubby?! Is that too cruel?

Welcome, Pink Petals!

 

[Miss Bellum]

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Pretty chilled out here and hoping to start putting up decorations tomorrow.

Luvmyfam - what a great pix so pleased all went well at the scan.

Babylove - sorry yesterday was a bad day hope today was better.

Frangi - Same here, our system has changed recently so we get a pre-booking at 10 weeks but the actually booking in isnt until 12 weeks! Hope your scan goes well.

Babydustcass - Lapland sounds amazing, so pleased you had a great holiday.

Ehjmorris - So sorry to hear your news, will keep fingers crossed all is still going well.

Redbutterfly - There are worse things you could be eating!

Hi Pink Petals :wave:

Wanna-b-mummy - Sorry you are feeling sick. I checked my old diary and I'm the same, first time round, no symptoms at all so getting them this hard this early is a shock to the system! It’s a tough time of year to be
sociable when you just want to curl up and sleep.

Carlinator - Glad you are feeling better, good luck with the school stuff.

Hey ladies hope you've all had a good weekend. I'm still having yukky days hope they pass soon, I'm so tired of feeling ill and hungover all the time.

Does anyone else have a constant bad taste as well??

 

[dimmu]

Hello, I'm also feeling queasy and hungover all the time. The only thing that helps is food but I don't really feel like eating anything. Also feeling pretty tired and sleepy and keep wanting to go to bed at 8-9pm. Second trimester just can't come quick enough, it really feels like the time is dragging.

 

[Babylove100]

Oh yes I'm in bed and fast asleep by 8-9pm as well! I agree the 2nd tri can't come quick enough!! I'm having a love hate relationship with food, the only time I don't feel sick is when I'm eating but then after I stop feel worse! argh!

 

[TTC74]

I have a bad taste in my mouth all the time, too. It's a metallic taste or something and it's yucky!

 

[Babylove100]

I have a bad taste in my mouth all the time, too. It's a metallic taste or something and it's yucky!

Yes this! I think it's why I try and eat a lot to take the taste away but it comes back worse!!

 

[laughingduck]

I dont have a bad taste but I think I did with my daughter. Im just constantly hungry, and if I dont eat I feel sick. At least I don't have the meat aversion I had with my daughter, that was awful. Pretty sure Im having a boy this time.

I've been thinking, I so wish I was a couple weeks further along so I was 12 weeks on Christmas. I want to tell my family then, as some of them we only see twice a year, but I'll only be 10 weeks and have a history if loss so am a bit hesitant! Would love to tell people in person though.

 

[babydustcass]

I am craving salty and savoury food. In fact just about anything carby will do right now but trying to be good.
I have a reassurance scan on Thursday next week, cannot wait and very nervous hoping everything is as it should be

 

[Hollynesss]

Me too, babydustcass!! Any salty carbs sound delicious!

 

[Miss Bellum]

I had a few really bad days lat week but fingers crossed seems to have eased off this weekend. Salty savoury snacks really appeal to me too!

 

[babydustcass]

Caved and booked a reassurance scan today for this coming Thursday. Now I just have to keep myself busy for the next few days, so exciting and nerve wrecking all the same.
