I have eaten so much Halloween candy today. I'm going to look 6 months pregnant by the time I'm done. The good news is I haven't felt the need to throw it up.

 

[lisaf]

I have had almost an aversion to sweets so far this pregnancy... which normally I'm a total sweet-food junkie.
I honestly ate 2 pieces of halloween candy and am not sure I'll get around to eating the rest I hid from the Trick or Treaters

(makes me a little sad since sweets are supposed to be a good sign of it being a girl stupid I know but I hope its a girl so much and the fact that I have to talk myself into eating a piece of candy is bumming me out)

 

[mummy3]

Lisa generally I had more sweet things with my boy, you never know

Last night my kids managed to get 3 full buckets of candy between them Thats gonna last at least a week...

Glad your sickness is going wiggler

New I hope you have more energy soon, we need you up and marathon ready for the high energy second tri

Lucky, your uterus is probably high as its not your first, my uterus is half way between pubic bone and belly button

24/7 that is one gorgeous pic! Glad it went well

Heres a bit of a laugh for you (the act isn't funny but the rest is lol) I live in San Diego and the city is currently being plauged by the GEEZER BANDIT, basically a OAP going around robbing banks Its all over the news here and I just cant take it seriously

mummy- thanks, lol.. I'm still hoping for a girl and I know one stupid old wives tale doesn't mean anything... but I think its the reason why I sit there and try to talk myself into eating another piece of candy.. as if eating lots of sweets will make it a girl
And I do sort of suspect that old wives tale has to do with girls being 'sweet' and no real evidence about the cravings.

lol, I haven't heard of the Geezer Bandit... though we had a string of bank robberies at the banks down the block from where I worked.. turned out to be the manager at the local movie theater ... I worked PT at one of the other theaters in town... turns out the guy had a criminal record of robbing banks but they gave him a 2nd chance and put him in a position handling money (IDIOTS)... he got busted for clearing out the ATM and started robbing banks again to put the money back

My husband loved giving kids giant handfuls of candy... I kept telling him the parents are going to hate him for that.

 

[mummy3]

The old wives tales are 50/50 Dont have the candy if you don't fancy it, what about salt and vinegar pringles, theres a good girl craving, or chips (american fries lol) with either gravy or curry sauce, I had sooo much of them with Anja

Your hubby would be very popular around here,, mine was telling me too make hundreds of trick or treat bags but only about 20 kids came These men are ambitious...

That was a really stupid plan to put that guy in charge of all the money

 

[lisaf]

I was in love with S&V chips at first but totally went off them. I have an untouched bag in my desk drawer that has been there at least 6 weeks now. And Kettle Chips are the BEST Salt and Vinegar!!!!
I haven't tried to eat them, so I should to see if it triggers a craving. To be honest, nothing really sounds good right now and I just have to start eating it to see if I want it.

My DH is convinced the parents will be thrilled so they can eat half of it! I told him most parents now have to worry about keeping it away from the little ones or dont' want THAT much for themselves to eat.
He kept a fair amount of candy for himself too, lol
And for some reason he loved giving the big handfuls to the smallest kids!! LOL... give it to the teens, they will definitely appreciate it!

 

[mummy3]

Kettle chips are yummy, I like the chedder ones too. Often if you get hungry its hard to find anything tempting, maybe try eating to see if it makes you feel better then you have the energy to think about what sounds really good

I made a raspberry cheesecake and pumpkin soup today, does that appeal?

Im sure the parents wouldn't be too upset, I love getting loads My hubbys the same, he was giving the toddlers 2 bags

Hi all-
So excited that we're starting to move into 2nd tri!
The sickness has lessened but I'm still puking/gagging at least once a day.

Just finished moving into a new place with a room for baby! poor DH had to do almost all of the moving (aside from the big furniture) himself. I still feel like I moved an entire mansion- sooo tired!!

As far as where the uterus is- I know where doc was putting the gel and scanner thing when I had my ultrasound- below my bellybutton. So how come my tummy is so big and sticks out?
One lady who knows said to me today, "Now that I know I can definitely tell! Other people probably just think you've been eating too much." Then she proceeded to call me "tubby". Hmmmm... not helping!!!

anyone else getting into maternity clothes yet? Think I'm gonna have to start soon.

 

[luckyme225]

mummy- I was thinking that it being my second might be the reason it's so high. Kinda cool to feel it stick out already. Oh yeah, and the geezer bandit struck back here awhile back. I have no idea how he's been on the run so long. Didn't realize they still hadn't caught him.

I made lasagna for dinner. Pretty sure it's only the second time I've been able to cook this pregnancy. My husband seemed happy enough lol. I even enjoyed some bread and butter. Hopefully this is the start of good things!!

 

[lisaf]

Soph- congrats on the move!

Mummy - I know the thing about eating enough so that I can feel better and contemplate food... I'm just finding it so hard to find anything I want to even put in my mouth I'm sure it will be fine once its there and may even taste good, its just hard to force myself to try it. Not an aversion bad enough that the thought of it makes me gag... just like I can't be bothered to even consider eating it... kind of hard to explain.. still an aversion I guess.

I wrote a whole bunch more but stupid internet explorer crashed! Grr!!

My favorite Kettle Chips flavors are never available at my local stores. They have them once to tease me then never have them again! Cheddar Beer was my favorite!

 

[hopefulmama]

how are you guys?? I haven't been on the site for awhile..

So, I had a scan today and they pushed my due date back from May 26th to June 1st... so 6 days later... they told me that was completely normal and it may change again thru pregnancy and it's not a bad thing, as being pushed back means i'm unlikely to have to be induced...
Odd thing is I know my LMP and when I ovulated, we had sex during entire ovulation and then not at all after or around the days they are putting me at now.


Thoughts?

 

[lisaf]

I measured a few days behind on one of my scans and on my last few I was measuring a bit ahead. It all seems to vary a lot!

What method of ovulation detection did you use?

 

[hopefulmama]

calculation from the my period and this program i had on my ipad where i'd chart my discharge and other things.. i wasn't really trying hard to get pregnanct but i have this program that i filled out everyday of charts . my period is an exact 28 days every month and i can tell u the time and day it wil start every month as well.

 

[luckyme225]

I was also pushed back on my dates by 6 days. I'm sure I'll be pushed back ahead at my next ultrasound as I know around what time I ovulated/ when we stopped having sex. Ultrasounds are typically +/- 3 days, sometimes can be off a bit more.

 

[hopefulmama]

phew, so you're right there with me on this one.

 

[lisaf]

Congrats on the good scan though! When is your next one?

 

[Wiggler]

Hi ladies!

I am pretty sure the sickness isnt coming back now as I had a cup of tea this morning and didn't feel sick after! I've missed tea so much, especially with the weather getting colder.

It would appear I don't have a cold, but a quite serious case of man-flu. My throat is so sore I can't even take a paracetamol to take the pain away

WOT book 13 is out today!!! OH was going to go into town and buy it for me during his lunch break, but I told him I would prefer him to go tomorrow as I don't want to germ up Dylans lunch, so he is coming home at lunch to make food for us all

My mum dropped off all of our baby things on Sunday, and I have been looking through at all the gorgeous clothes, they are still in great condition, just need a wash Although my mum didnt deliver all of the swing (she forgot the base), and its a lot more wobbly than it was before so we are going to have to bin it

xxxxxxxx

 

[new_to_ttc]

Morning!

Hope you feeling better soon wiggler, try disolvable paracetamol Glad the baby clothes are ok, shame about the swing though!

Hopeful glad you had a good scan dont worry about the dates they not always accurate they often change. I was put back a week, then caught back up, now Im 1 day ahead lol
