I woke up at 4 to drive to Boston for my 7am flight back to Texas. Had a great stay with my parents but ready to get back to our house. I'm going to have a huge bill when I pick my dog up from the boarding place today, oh well!
My DS dud surprisingly well with me going in to wake him up and putting him in the car at 4am.
How is everyone proceeding with caffeine? I drank the 200 mg or less my entire pregnancy with my son with no guilt. After my loss, I'm of course more paranoid about everything so haven't had anything-but usually I'm a coffee addict. Thankfully coffee has sounded nauseating, but hopefully I'll feel well enough for it to sound delicious in the second tri.
I'm not drinking any coffee right now either because it sounds repulsive. In theory though I'm fine with 1-2 caffeinated drinks per day. I would like to try to add a bit of caffeine back because I've been getting headaches.
I couldn't sleep last night, so I spent many hours in the dark hole of Lucie's List and now I think I need all the gear...but the gear is expensive, so no.
Coffee sounds disgusting to me, too, txmommy14, babyzebra. I miss the idea of it but even smelling it is terrible right now.
Yay, ohiorideresq!! Pregnancy constipation is the worsstttttt.
I woke up feeling awful this morning, per usual, but choked down a bowl of cheerios and surprisingly feel much better. DS is going to daycare this morning for a few hours, so I'll probably run a few errands and crank out some work, even though what I really wanna do is crawl back in bed. Must.adult.for.awhile.

So sorry! Yeah, I need to resubscribe to Lucies List with this baby...and look at her double stroller recs.

You just made this FTMs day! I totally need a site like this. Do they make a "Babies for Dummies" book?
AW moment: U/s went perfectly yesterday. I had a small panic attack before they started, but DH held my hand and reminded me to breathe. Baby nitecheese has a heartbeat of 162 bpm and is measuring at 7w6d (I thought I was at 8w2d, but am not 100% sure when I ovulated).
I'm 50/50 on coffee. I'm comfortable with a cup a day, but it just doesn't taste good. When i am just dog tired though, i am grabbing a small bottle of the pepsi or coke with the natural sugar. Like that REALLY makes it better.
This is a big work week for me... on Thursday night we have one of our two major fundraising events of the year. Securing all of the details (from venue, to mailings, to meals, to speakers - you name it) is my job. We have 200 guests and this is the first year I'm speaking at this. I'm stressing - i HATE public speaking - and I am having nightmares about not getting things done and getting there late and ruining everything. Yikes.
teggy20, cheerios were always my hangover food, so I knew they'd work for morning sickness.
@txmommy when I can stomach it, I've been having about a coffee a day. I tried to cut it out completely with DD and it was awful. This time I'm so nauseous that I sometimes don't get it but the headaches and exhaustion are kicking my butt. I seem to like my coffee sweeter again and it's easier on my tummy - vanilla lattes seem to be going over well when I really need it - and good old sweet double doubles (2 cream 2 sugars because I think double double is a Canadian term....)
And I've found out my MIL has told MORE people we're expecting. And I'm really not happy about it. This isn't our first baby and not her first grandchild - I get she's excited but it's not her news to tell and she's ASKED if she could tell others and we said no!
I love my MIL to pieces and in terms of MILs I really really lucked out, but I'm really unhappy right now

I hope your events go great and that you can get through this week!!

Ugh. My mom has done the same thing. Some random lady she's not even good friends with came up to me at church on Sunday and mentioned it. I was so mad, but decided not to say anything to her because she knows how I feel, these people are 2,000 miles away, and she can untell them all if something happens.
I've never been a coffee drinker. But I drank obscene amounts of diet coke. The week we found out I was pregnant I cut back from 2+ per day 1 per day and now I'm at 1-2 per week.
No coffee for me either, it actually tastes different to me now. Though I could use the caffeine, I have been thinking about trying a vanilla latte out. I've been iced tea-ing a lot lately.
MIL's are the worst at keeping secrets...why can't they keep anything quiet, even when they say they will!
I am taking DD1 (age 4) to her first movie at a theater today. We are going to see the new Peanuts movie...its 5 dollar day with free popcorn. I'm betting the popcorn will be her favorite part.

I'm definitely a coffee drinker. I used to drink 2-3 cups per day, but I've cut back to 1. Even on my most nauseous days I still want my morning coffee. I put milk in it and that settles my stomach.
Guys, I'm scared. I'm spotting brown. It's. Scary. Ugh. I thought I'd spotted once before but this is way different and real. Ugh ugh ugh. T&P appreciated.

I'm so sorry. I forget, you've had an appointment, right? When is your next one? Thinking of you!

As for the coffee, I'm with frecklesnbrains - I still want it, every day. But then again, I feel best in the morning and worse at night. I generally make decaf though, because I usually have a regular coke in the afternoon when I start to feel shitty and I know that has caffeine too.
As for the coffee, I haven't wanted it for a week and a half now. I used to make myself a fancy caramel macchiato with my espresso machine every morning and it was the highlight of my day. Then it didn't taste as good, and then I was repulsed by smelling the espresso grounds. Sad.
GOmamab15, I'm sorry about the spotting. I understand how scary it can be. Do you have an appt coming up?
I haven't had an appointment yet, it was scheduled for next Wednesday but I just spoke to an advice nurse and got an appointment for this morning at 11:15.

Yay nitecheese ! I am so hapy about your ultrasound! That's wonderful!
cattuccino, I slept horribly too. I went to bed at 9 and woke up wide awake at 2am, been up ever since. Luckily I have today off but it will still be a long day. Your MIL sounds like my MIL, I love her to pieces but she is one of the reasons we have't told anybody yet. But in two weeks at Thanksgiving everyone will be here, and we will make our announcement then. Here are the mugs I want to get for the grandparents (it will be the first grandchild on both sides) www.etsy.com/listing/206933211/blackpink-only-the-best-moms-get
As for me today, I've been waiting for this day for a couple months, and it may sound lame but Trainwreck is out on DVD! Target is also having a sale on video games so DH wnats me to pick him up a couple, I am also going to start cleaning up the guest bedroom/bathroom for when our family comes.
I made the wrong pants choice today. My belly needs to cooperate with my decision to keep this news hush hush for at least another three weeks!
Also, I'm nuts and took another pregnancy test last night. Still positive. The positive line showed up before the dye could even reach the control line. Duh Dreaming, you're pregnant!
Haha. I totally did this almost daily until I was like 8 weeks. I had this enormous stack of Wondfos so I was like "why the hell not?". Cray-cray freckles!!!

Lots of good thoughts. I spotted brown with some red for the first two weeks of being pregnant. It eventually stopped. I am glad you have an appointment. Hopefully they can give you some answers.
