*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[La Mere]

Welcome to the new mommies!

I totally can relate to all you ladies with hubby troubles. My DH says I've been acting like a "half dead zombie" and he gets so snippy with me sometimes. Don't even get me started on asking him for help, I do and he doesn't... I asked him to take our son while I went pee and he said "He'll just scream his head off if I take him." So I ended up having to use the bathroom while still holding him and told DH "Fine, I just won't ask you for anything anymore." So far, I haven't and probably won't... You would think with this being my third pregnancy he'd be more understanding.

Here are my "bump" pics for week 7! Hope everyone is doing okay!!

That's a real bummer that your DH is like that. Mine is very helpful, almost too helpful...he sometimes acts like I'm a fragile flower and can't do anything on my own anymore. Thankfully he's loosened up a little bit after my first doctors appointment, but for a while there it was getting a little annoying haha.

He's usually pretty good with helping out but it seems like every time I ask him for help he'll say he will then never does. But he dad (who lives with us) seems to get help EVERY TIME he "asks". Okay, I get that he's helping us build our house and everything, but come on! You should be rushing to help your wife with your kids or helping pick crap up or maybe do the dishes for me (last time he did that was sometime last month, so it's not like he NEVER helps, just not often enough in comparison to how often I ask). One thing he does do that I don't have to ask him, is he usually always makes dinner or breakfast.. we switch off on breakfast though and I usually always make lunch. Sometimes I wish he would treat me like a "fragile" flower, lol... but all I get is "You're pregnant not diseased." Could've fooled me, lol, with the way I feel some mornings. Feels kinda nice to vent a little bit but sometimes I don't give him enough credit for all the work he does towards getting our house finished and during the spring and summer to bring in cash flow. Don't mean to make it sound like DH is a bad guy, cause he's really sweet... when he wants to be.

I'm so hungry, but nothing sounds good....

Hi Ladies!

I wonder- do they have any farting contests that I could enter? I think I could win for quantity...

 

[Jcliff]

Tried my Doppler today... Nothin! I know it's super early but I thought id try!

 

[jmandrews]

I am starving to newlywed. I need to start making dinner but not sure what to make.

Let's just talk about these pregnancy hormones and why they make me look like I'm a teenager going through puberty. My face, chest, back look horrible. I don't normally have acne. I had this with DD too.
I am going to go ahead and predict another Girl for me.

No food aversions yet, but with my 1st, I didn't like meats, and couldn't stand steak! So far this has not happened yet...

 

[newlywed2013]

I ended up reheating a baked potato and putting cheese, sour cream, and turkey on it. And I made a cheese quesadilla and burned the crap out of it

I've been wanting bland foods and lots of starches, cheese, and sour cream. Not sure why...

Same here. Baked potatoes have been a big deal for me the past few weeks. The night before I got my bfp I was out to dinner with DH and had a baked potato and thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Seriously best thing id ever eaten! Haha I've been eating them regularly since. Just butter and sour cream for me mmmmmm now I want to go home and eat one! I bake up a big batch and keep them in the fridge for easy quick reheating.

I do the same thing. Except I only have a toaster oven, no microwave, so they take forever to reheat! I'm about to cave and get a microwave, except I have absolutely no where to put it..

I know for me I crave bland food when not feeling well as that was what Mom always wanted to make to prevent it from coming up. So bland reminds me of being taken care of and sick at home when I was young.

Thats usually when I want it too, but for the most part I am feeling fine. Just in the mornings I get a bit nauseous..

 

[CharlieKeys]

Craving cheese here. Same as my little girl before ... So I'm also leaning towards girl!

 

[sprite30]

Ha same here with the baked potatoes with sour cream. That was I had for dinner 2 nights last week as I had zero energy to cook and nothing sounded good. I def didn't want anything flavorful and now I'm craving shrimp far diavolo bc I went out t dinner with my friend last week and that is what she ordered and we went out last night and they had it on the menu and then they had it on Rachel Ray today. And I'm not usually a big fan of shrimp or spicy but I feel like I need to just try it so I can get it out of my head lol

I have been craving curry and yoghurt up to now, but I seem to be developing a new one instead...sultana bran. How bizarre. Currently eating my 3rd bowl of the day. Oh well, at least it's healthy

I've completely gone off tea I haven't had a cuppa since about 5w4d, and am now at 8w2d. That's the longest I've gone without tea for about 15 years. I just can't stomach the thought of it :/

Really wishing this cold would go away, too

 

[Jcliff]

I craved watermelon, grapes, Popsicles with my daughter! Now I'm craving like vinegar, Italian dressing stuff weird..

 

[GeralynB]

I woke up from a nap with a headache. Ugh

I'm the same way with coffee. I've had some every day for years and right after I got my BFP I lost the taste for it. I've had a few sips of a frappe from starbucks and that was good, but other than that, yuck.

Does anyone else have the super human nose going on??? The other day I got out of the car and could have sworn I walked right into a Mexican restaurant! I'm still craving fajitas and I have no idea where the smell was coming from! Maybe from a neighbouring house?

Then one of my nanny kidlets was coloring and the marker smell almost made me vomit. And last night I was in the bath and suddenly smelled dog pee very strongly. Turned out my puppy had just peed on her pad....in the other room with a closed bathroom door and a hall between us! It's crazy! I smell everything!!!
