Sorry no sleep for you @led, I was dreaming last night how this baby could possibly be another mans (no chance in hell) My pregnancy dreams are so wild.

I too have been having crazy dreams that are causing me to be restless throughout the night and also waking me up earlier than usual.

ugh i am so nauseous this week. Any tricks ladies? I'm doing saltines and jolly ranchers but its not really helping and I am traveling for work so need to keep it together.

I tried the jolly ranchers a few days ago and gave up when I threw up a blue one. *cries*

[walkek85]

I've been craving Ramen lately. Yummy saltiness! Also, add me to those eating poorly. I had a McDonald's Bagel, egg and cheese sandwich this morning. It was heaven!

I told all my extended family yesterday. Everyone was excited. We will tell Dh's extended family next week. It feels more real talking about it.

Doesn't it!?

I told my younger brother yesterday. He was excited and also hilarious. When I started talking about how I wasn't feeling well, he said "okay, but you need to know that nobody wants to read about that on Facebook, okay?" And then he started telling me tips, like how I should "blast Spanish radio at the uterine walls" so the baby would be bilingual. And also not to get fat. Thanks, bro. Thanks.

walkek85, breakfast sandwiches have been one of the few things I can eat without problems lately. I recently did an in depth study and have determined (shockingly) that I prefer BK breakfasts over McDonalds, Jack in the Box and Carls Jr. I still need to test out Chic-fil-a.

I've been thinking how I want a breakfast sandwich

[Deleted]

I'm so hungry but the thought of food is making me gag. Ugh. I just want to eat something!

I have also really been loving breakfast sandwiches in the morning! There is an Au Bon Pain on my way walk to work I usually stop into, but today I splurged and went to Starbucks because I had to have the english muffin.

The Chinese tasted amazing. But my stomach is not happy now. Such a bummer.

Only 20 minutes until I can go home though!

I haven't had BK breakfast in a very long time maybe I should give it a try. I used to get McDonalds breakfast every Friday but I'm trying to be good.

I get to leave at 4 also! But I'm thinking about ducking out of here soon.

k3am, try the chicken minis. They are the normal chicken nuggets on tiny dinner rolls. If I wasn't anti-chicken at the moment I would probably eat these every day.

Starbucks breakfast sandwiches, wraps and pastries are the best! Love the bacon, egg and Gouda sandwich!  Back when I was working I had Starbucks every day!  It has been hard giving up coffee.

I surprisingly don't miss coffee at all. The first week after my BFP I had like 1/2 cup at most every day and weaned myself off. I don't miss it. I don't crave it. The thought of it doesn't appeal to me. Same with wine. I wouldn't recognize myself!

[k3am]

With DD, I completely gave up all the stuff they tell you to. I did everything exactly right. With this one.. I'm still having an occasional soda, cold deli meats (at home), and fried eggs with runny yolks. The world hasn't ended yet at my taste buds are much happier.

With DD, I had such an easy pregnancy, giving stuff up was so much easier. With this one, anything I can manage to stomach, I'm going to eat.

ETA: I guess this is my FFFC a day early.

[Ruca]

I had regular coffee for the first time today since my BFP, was hoping it'd help me go. No such luck yet...

[fishbulb]

I still drink coffee but I cut back to 12 oz a day, tops. I didn't quit it with J either. I figure the kids are better off in the long run if I don't get fired for sleeping all day and never going to work. I can't stomach it black right now though; I have to add a dollop of milk.

[emc]

I usually looooove coffee, but haven't been able to keep it down. I have been drinking a Dr. Pepper can a day. Can't win 'em all.

[ellesea]

I don't like any type of breakfast sandwich. Never have.

All I want to eat right now is a big Greek salad loaded with feta. I'm sending DH out to pick that up.

I'm still eating everything I normally would. But I think I have a pretty pregnancy safe diet to begin with. I did have lunch meat twice this week because it was leftover from a baby shower.

[starfishy]

This week the only thing that sounds good is an egg and cheese. I went to the local bagel shop to get one for dinner the other night. They guy was like, uh really? Um yeah. I'm pregnant and it's the only thing I can eat, okay!!!!

Spaghetti and meatballs are good too. I craved that with my son. Along with chocolate chip cookies. Kid loves cookies. Wonder why.

I tried to take a nap like 4 times today and failed every time. I was exhausted from not sleeping last night but still couldn't fall asleep. Finally I decided to just lay in bed under Blake's new weighted blanket and at some point between then and 90 minutes later I fell asleep. It was glorious.

Seriously, I wish I was rich and could just buy one for everyone I know. They're the best thing ever. I got my from The Magic Blanket (link) and I am sooooo happy with it. Plus I realized after I already ordered that you can get one custom made! But I like the fabric I got more than I expected and the size and weight are pretty much perfect (54"x78" and 24 lbs).

I'm sounding like an advertisement and I don't even care, it's fucking amazing.

[k3am]

I am kinda shaky, feel high and overall just not normal.

DH won't get off the flipping phone (it's a work call, but he's just gossiping,nothing important) and I'm not sure to do. I tried having a fruit cup and am hoping it passes.

[k3am]

...and his response? Oh that sucks. Want to help make dinner?

I hate that feeling. It's scary. I hope you feel better soon.
I almost went to the school nurse today bc I was getting lightheaded. I hate scary stuff like this!

k3am, how are you feeling? Did the sugar help?

[walkek85]

@led, explain to me the benefits of a weighted blanket. Why would one buy it?

I always thought they were for people (mostly children) with sensory issues, but it appears that is not the case.

[k3am]

Sugar helped. DH is still a butthead.

[partyinmytummy]

We made it to Singapore... Hellloooo vacation! It's good to get away.

Downside: We are taking DD to the pool now and I feel SO gross and bloaty and just fat :/

I got it for my husband for his anxiety, but it's just so comfy even ignoring the anxiety benefits. They are typically used for children, but they're still awesome.

..... I ***JUST*** realized that Thors Day sounds like Thursday and this was the randoms thread for the day... I spent all day thinking there was no Thursday randoms thread and I thought this was a thread about like, a comic book character or something... I am making my M16 sweep and decided to learn a little something about this character because, after all, it was his day, and there's 64 comments, so it must be a pop culture thing that I don't understand... I have no excuses.
