He says its my energy flowing again...nice way a Chinese dr. says gas..I think.

Rants/Raves? So I decided to not do my regular workouts take it down and do some walking on the treadmill and did it on incline. What do you know messed my hip flexer up...sigh. I can't win sometimes! OH...I was folding DDs clothes the other day and I was packing away the smaller stuff and I thought "need to save these for a possible sister" and I swear a lil voice in my head, intuition perhaps, was like "nope sorry no girls in here". It definitely was like a light was shown on the situation. But we shall see!



GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? Is this a trick question! Yellow cake with chocolate icing.

requiressnacks , I think you would have a bushel of strawberries.
babycowbell , ohh Brownies are def a runner up on fav dessert. OF course your MIL needs to tell others at work...it givers her "status". Didn't you know this her pregnancy too..lol.
@kc295905 , Oh I hope you get the call today and good news rather than bad. The fainting headaches are scary business. Keep us posted.
hmr11913 , I am telling you gma are scary in that way. My gma said she knew that something was up with me. She also dreamed about fishes..so she was searching. OH if I could have a talk with father time..I would. I want to see something!
lastnamewithheld , Is it funny that I like the food size ones better. I think its cause I am a porker driven by food. I was like oh yours is def chocolate chip!
@usernameedit , Is it horrible I would take some of your symptoms to ease my mind. My symptoms are so minimal.
@cahistoryteacher , don't count out the stuffy nose being some what of a head cold or inflamed membranes...I am just getting over mine. Did you know that its a common pregnancy symptom..hooray.
mrsp121308 , Scotcharoo cookies...do tell! I am sorry you have nausea all the time..does anything help you with it? I did ginger candies from the Asian market they were my savior!

[lastnamewithheld]

WineNChocolate, me too! besides chocolate chip>blueberry ANY day.
babycowbell, ugh, come on MIL.
@kc295905, I hope you feel better and the doctor can give you some reassurance that everything is okay. that fainting episode must've been so scary!
hmr11913, I hear ya with fast forwarding time... YES PLEASE!! I don't think I've ever eaten rhubarb anything. Hmmm.
@usernameedit, I agree with WineNChocolate, I'll take some of your symptoms! I wish it worked that way Anyways, I hope you begin to feel better soon!
requiressnacks, I hope your u/s on Thursday goes well! I have one on Thursday, too!
@cahistoryteacher, mmm, snickerdoodles sound sooooo good!
mrsp121308, I hope you have a great appointment on Friday! and I hope you start to feel better soon!

[requiressnacks]

I'll be crossing my fingers for both of us, lastnamewithheld!

[mrsp121308]

WineNChocolate I guess they aren't really a cookie, but a bar. But SO yummy. www.ricekrispies.com/recipes/chocolate-scotcheroos

lastnamewithheld, whaaaaaaaaaat? You've never had anything w/ rhubarb? You are missing out! We have a huge rhubarb patch.... so I'm a rhubarb queen! Torte, or "custard bars" are the best... IMO... and then I also make a rhubarb blueberry jam that's out of this world. 

Here's what the torte looks like.... my mouth is watering.... the sweet with the savory. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. 

[lastnamewithheld]

oh yum! hmr11913, this is something that I need to change, ASAP. lol those custard bars look amazing! Also those chocolate scotcheroos mrsp121308 posted... oy GET IN MY BELLY!

[Deleted]

WineNChocolate, ugggh, I know and I am really hoping this stuffy nose/congestion goes away and is not a pregnancy symptom. It exacerbates everything else, including my gag reflex and has kept me from sleeping or really tasting food. I think it's getting better, I only went through half a box of tissues yesterday instead of a full one.

[WineNChocolate]

@cahistoryteacher haha well that's a start half a box you say. I am warning mine went from my nose to my throat. It sooo sucked.

[littlelion]

Work put out individual cheesecakes (regular and turtle). I packed up a few and stuck them in the freezer. But then they put out butter pecan ice cream. So I had ice cream for 2nd breakfast.

[Lucy]

How far along are you? 6w4d (I totally had to look it up because I couldn't remember)

What is your baby the size of? (Fruit, veggie, etc.) A Maine Blueberry

Symptoms? I will cut a person if they come too close to my boobs... also moodiness, it seems.

Upcoming Doctor's Appointments? I have a "pregnancy class" with the nurse from my OB's office on Thursday. I'm kind of irritated because I have very specific questions that the nurse isn't going to be able to answer, but I can't schedule with the OB until after this stupid class.

Rants/Raves? Meh.

GTKY:What is your favorite dessert? Anything chocolately gooey covered in whipped cream.

[sdgal]

How far along are you? 5w2days

What is your baby the size of? (Fruit, veggie, etc.) peppercorn or orange seed

Symptoms? Waking up in the MOTN to pee, tiredness, a little breast heaviness but they are 36G to start with so...

Upcoming Doctor's Appointments? Next Tuesday! Can't wait!

Rants/Raves? lack of symptoms makes me a little worried but I am also enjoying it while I can

GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? I love a good creme brulee or carrot cake with cream cheese frosting


Question for those under the care of a RE, have you called your regular OB yet to get on their calendar? Will they tell me at my RE appointment next week to call?

[littlelion]

sdgal, I think it depends on when your RE graduates you.  I think mine took me thru at least 11 weeks.  I did not know this and made the OB appt at the 8 wk mark.  So, I'm going to ask again to make sure when I should go to the OB. Who is right next door and doesn't have a problem with booking appts. 

[requiressnacks]

Hi sdgal, I called and made an appointment with my OB, which is around 9 weeks. I figure worst comes to worst, I can always cancel if I don't need it, but I wanted to have something in the books.

Your RE will probably tell you to schedule it.

[sdgal]

Thanks littlelion and requiressnacks

I'll wait and ask at my RE appt next week when do they graduate me and when to call my OB. Guess I'm just impatient!

[brit365]

How far along are you?: 7w1d



What is your baby the size of? (Fruit, veggie, etc.)



Symptoms?: nausea, vomiting, exhaustion, the most sore boobs ever, still some brown spotting which they said would probably continue for awhile



Upcoming Doctor's Appointments?: A week from yesterday! I can't wait!



Rants/Raves?: I really just want to fast-forward to partially through the 2nd trimester



GTKY:What is your favorite dessert?: currently Jolly Ranchers. The idea of anything else makes me sick.

Same here!! Our top tier was carrot cake and DH's birthday cake every year is carrot cake

[Becca]

Thank you for the check in mrsp121308. I had to look up what scotcharoo cookies were, those look so delicious!

@cahistoryteacher, state testing, ugh! Ours is coming up. I just asked the testing specialist to not put me in as a monitor, thankfully she understood why.

requiressnacks, Early congrats on graduating from the RE. It is so scary to leave them and exciting at the same time. DH made us get carrot cake mini cupcakes for our wedding, so you aren't alone there.

@usernameedit, I hope you can start eating again soon.

lastnamewithheld, good luck on Thursday!

hmr11913, I love rhubarb too! I always freeze a bunch to use throughout the winter.

@kc295905, I hope you are feeling better! Fainting isn't a good symptom!

babycowbell, I'm mad at your MIL for you. It isn't her news to share yet. This is why we haven't told people yet.

WineNChocolate, sorry about the headaches

W, if your MS is kicking in I hope it isn't too bad for you

Lucy, I hope the wait to get into an OB isn't too long for you after this course. It is annoying they won't let you even schedule it now.

sdgal, As the other girls said I think it is dependent on your RE. When I was at my last RE appointment they scheduled my OB appointment for me then.

brit365, hoping this next week goes fast for you!
