Symptoms: still constipated but less nausea, fatigue, and hip pain
Appt: today! I'm excited to book the ultrasound
Rants/raves: while I'm excited about less nausea and fatigue, it does worry me a little. Last three times I felt horrible till 13 weeks. I'm just going to hope it's because my husband is on holidays and taking care of all meals. Hopefully I can get me u/s booked for fairly soon.
GTKY : I love baking but I'm not into any particular Christmas baking.
I would just like to report that I ate a meal yesterday! A MEAL!!!! I had a little bagged lettuce and some Wal-Mart popcorn chicken nuggets mixed with poppyseed and Italian dressings, plus a little chunk of heated ciabatta bread with butter. And chocolate milk. This is the first true meal I've had since week 5. It wasn't much, but I am so happy to eat a little bit of vegetables and protein!
Wooo hoooo!!!!! I had chicken parm for dinner on Friday, and it was my first time eating meat in a few weeks. Totally had the same "go me" moment! haha (Its the little things lol)
How did you not die from heartburn after eating red sauce??
Symptoms? My stomach has flipped back and forth between diarrhea & constipation, my back hurts and my boobs hurts. I'm also super freaking exhausted. I went to sleep at 8 last night. #noragrets
Rants/Raves? I had to wait to get my new insurance card before I can call and make my first ultrasound appt. I'm worried the OB I want to see doesn't take my insurance so figured crossed they do. I don't like that the other one who is semi-close to our town has such a high c-section rate.
I got a small pack of airheads the other day at the gas station. Ate them all in like hours. So I ask H to get me another pack when he stopped to get gas. NOPE. Overachiever. He bought me a 2 lb box of airheads with 60 bars in it! HOLY MOLY
GTKY: Are you a holiday baker? If so, share your favorite recipe! OH! I LOVE oreo balls. And the no-bake cheesecake I'm much more of a cook than a baker!

I definitely had a little heartburn with it... but I also had a very large glass of almond milk so I think that may have helped?
You haven't left the house in 3 weeks?! Not even for the grocery store, a walk, to take your toddler somewhere? I know you're having rough symptoms, but how did you not go stir crazy? I'm incapable of staying in my house for even a day.
I felt like hell. My inlaws are very helpful. The thought of the grocery store makes me nauseated. I did go outside for a minute, but got nauseated. You don't really feel like going any where when you feel like hell. I lost 3 lbs.
Oh man that really sucks. I didn't know you felt so horribly. Sorry if my comment was insensitive. Yay for great in-laws, and hope the trend of feeling like a human being again continues :-)
Symptoms? Bloating galore! sore boobs,a ton of trouble sleeping. Also a bit constipated.
Upcoming appts? Dec. 14th! 6 days away!!!
Rants/Raves? Not really.
GTKY:
Are you a holiday baker? If so, share your favorite recipe! Peanut Butter Brittle This stuff is great but last year I didn't do much bakin and I doubt I will this year.
Symptoms? Nausea comes and goes all day, serious food aversions, boobs are still super sore, and still some cramping on and off.
Upcoming appts? 8 week ultrasound this Friday! Can't wait to see the baby and hopefully hear a nice, strong heartbeat.
Rants/Raves? It's a super long story, but basically someone from our old company (DH and I met/worked together in CT) found out we were pregnant and decided to tell a bunch of people at the company holiday party last week. One of DH's good friends text him all "I didn't think you'd tell a bunch of random people news like that before me", but the girl who was telling everyone wasn't even supposed to know. So she felt the need to share our big news with our old coworkers, even though we aren't friends with her, don't talk to her, and are literally 3000 miles away/no longer work for the company. Needless to say I want to punch her in the face.

mcktymck I hate when people do that. I wanted to tell close family about the twins before anyone else but MIL got all excited and started texting her siblings as soon as we told her. So I was getting texts from random aunts and uncles before I had a chance to tell my mom.

Ooh... Someone needs an ass whooping! Lucky for her she's 3000 miles out of your reach.
Symptoms?: Extreme fatigue but trouble being comfortable enough to sleep, nausea but no actual vomiting, boobs super sore, don't really want to eat anything except plain white rice.
Upcoming appts? Not scheduled yet, I need to call this week to schedule one.
Rants/Raves? I still haven't told my mom and she's like my best friend, but I am weirdly nervous about it. It's stupid.
GTKY:Are you a holiday baker? If so, share your favorite recipe!: I love to bake. I used to make sugar cookies with frosting but I also love to make slutty brownies which I got as a suggestion from a friend. This is more or less the way to make them: whatsgabycooking.com/slutty-brownies/

Oh my goodness I have a ton of trouble sleeping also! I really wish I could find a comfy position before having to go pee again!

Haha yes! That's exactly my problem too. I feel like I pee at least once an hour at night. Even if I try not drinking anything 2 hours before bed. So frustrating.

Rants/Raves? Just excited and nervous for my first appointment. And peppermint hot chocolate is awesome.

Upcoming appts? We have our ultrasound on Monday!
Rants/Raves? It is so busy at work that I can't catch my breath and I just want to hide under the covers and cry. I pretty much cry everyday because I feel like I can't do anything right.

Are you a holiday baker? If so, share your favorite recipe! Yeah... not a good baker.
