Think I have done it (the ticker that is).

Yep, way to go

Finally got my anti-nausea meds. She prescribed me Zofran, I've never taken it before so we'll see. I concluded I should not be allowed to grocery shop while out & about. Total pregnant woman's cart. Honey buns, peanut butter (which I intend to eat by the spoonful), orange strawberry banana juice and bite-sized Milky Ways. Oh and a single can of chicken noodle soup. Hahah.

 

[Lollipopbop]

Congratulations Giftmum! I'm due may 12th but only 7+4?! xoxo

 

[zephyr]

orange strawberry banana juice oho that sounds tasty! Wish we had that here!
I am doing my grocery shopping soon, I can't wait I am sooooooo hungry and I look in my cupboards and fridge and everything just looks boring and yuck! I forced down some crackers while I wait to get some real food! But they weren't all that great. I think I still have pickles though mmmmm

 

[wavescrash]

The juice is like heaven in my mouth. I have a feeling it's going to replace my soda addiction this pregnancy. I should have bought more pickles but I'll wait until I go actual grocery shopping. The stuff I got today was because I went to one store to pick up my prescription and had some cravings. Then I had to go to another store for the juice and developed cravings while walking around haha.

The Zofran made it possible for me to eat some ravioli and NOT feel miserable afterward. I approve of this

 

[zephyr]

Oh lol well my cravings got the better of me. I went onto the pizza wwebsite just to hava look haha yeah right. Ended up ordering a meatlovers pizza with jalapenos and olives and im currently sitting in the supermarket carpark eating. I feel so bad cos usually i try and eat healthy but omg whoever made this is awesome they put double everything on it!

 

[wavescrash]

Hahahah nice! Ah who cares?! We're allowed to indulge every once in awhile! ENJOY IT!

 

[zephyr]

Thanks! I did but hey u shulda seen the looks i got. I actually felt half starved so probably ate that way hahaha and i ate half a jar of pickles before i left too. Well now to do the shopping. Hopefully i leave with some healthier snacks! Unlike the past few days.

 

[wavescrash]

Good luck with your shopping trip! I'm currently drinking that orange/strawberry/banana juice and eating peanut butter by the spoonful. I have no shame.

 

[zephyr]

haha nice! that juice sure does sound tasty.
Shopping was okay, the meat section smelt terrible and I dry reached about 5 times and if it wasn't for me holding my nose and mouth I probably would of lost it right there.
Rest of the shopping after that sucked, but the lemons smelt tasty and I managed to gross out OH by peeling and sucking one all the way home. Now I am eating a grapefruit.....kinda undecided on the taste its yum, but then not.

My mum phoned me last night and she found some twin buggies she wants to buy me and wanted to me suss them out today so she could buy one but I feel like its too soon!
She said "don't worry you can always sell it if something happened but its best to prepare yourself now and I wanna gift it to you before xmas comes along"
Now I don't know what to do, I read about vanishing twin, and all the other things that could go wrong and although they say a lot of twin pregnancies are successful what if mine isn't? So many people are excited along with us, if something happened I would feel like I am letting so many people down! Almost wanna ask for another scan to make sure they both still there!

I'm still really undecided about this grapefruit :/

 

[wavescrash]

Hahahah the bit about the grapefruit made me laugh. The lemon too!

I'm not sure how I'd feel about what your mom said. I'm sure all will be well with the twins though. Too many negative stories online. Remember, we're positive thinkers only here!!!! Maybe let her keep it at her place if she really wants to buy it for you that way if anything happens, you don't have to look at it as a reminder or anything? Good luck with that!!

 

[zephyr]

Yeah I dunno, I just feel like I have more to worry about now LOL and I am doing a lot of that!! but will try and stay positive! I think thats a great idea though, tell her she can and keep it at her place

That grapefruit was very very tasty but I decided I don't like grapefruit the aftertaste was horrible and it kept spitting in my eye every time I tried to spoon some out I can't wait till berries are in season, not long now blackberries yum!! I used to eat a punnet a day with my daughter.

Morning ladies! Hope you are all well today. I am so exhaused and my eyes hurt. I just wanna go home and sleep all day. I know we've got the weekend coming up soon but we have my OH's son this weekend and my OH will probably be working again so I'll have to look after him. Drives me mad, but anyway... Next week I have my booking in appointment with the midwife... just cant come quick enough! I asked for the time off from work and no response yet, so Im just going, and if they say no I'll have to tell them why I need the time of coz its illegal for them to stop you going to ante-natal appointments.

sooooooooo tired!! anyway... guess I should try get some work done

 

[sharon0302]

Anti still right with you on exhaustion front, and have to double check everything I do at work cause I am making very random mistakes.

On another note put my jeans on this morning and boy are they tight have had to leave button open and wear a belt to hide the fact, and these are my comfy big fit ones!

[anti]

just read my post from earlier and i dont remember typing half of that!!

Im contsantly hungry and I know im going to pile weight on, but I cant deny my body the food that it wants!! Haven't tried jeans on since I found out I was pregnant. Been in my work trousers that have always been too big for me and track pants, so not sure if I'll fit in to anything. I know ive put weight on though. gonna have to work hard to get rid of it when baby is here safe.

Woke up this morning with some cramping but I can't tell if it's uterine cramps or gas-related. I'm fairly confident it's just gas related but still... it's bugging me. It's coming and going though and not all that painful.

8 weeks today! Finally a raspberry!!! And now there's only 2 weeks until my next prenatal appointment!

 

[hoping29]

We have baby!!!! They scanned me today and our baby has a heartbeat!!! Soo excited. Apparently all looked well and it was 5mm which apparantly makes me 6 weeks exactly today! They didn't say anything about rate of heartbeat but I didn't ask so I presume all was well.
Soo relieved and excited. Won't post a picture as its not good quality and just a blob really. Going to tell my Dad tonight that he is going to be a Grandad, hopefully he won't get too upset (what with my Mum only having died 6 months ago).

Bursting with excitement now!!!!!!
