Sounded as though there were enough people who thought a weekly random thread was a good idea so I'm starting it  |

The other day I mentioned to MH I thought lack of water and coffee could be part of my headache problem but that I was having a hard time drinking plain water. There's been a Gatorade in my purse when I left for work the past 2 mornings. MH went out and bought me a bunch of small Gatorades to take to work to mix with water to see if I could drink those more easily. <3

MH and I both have Tuesday's off, so he let me sleep in and he took the toddler to his sport class. Sleeping is about the only time I get relief from the nausea. But we have a new smoke detector getting installed today, so I'm trying to push myself to get some of the housework done.

Nymeria -- yay husband! I hope the gatorade helps. Our office is hard to keep at a normal temp too. It probably doesn't help that it's ALL WINDOWS and the outside temps fluctuate like 20-30 degrees on any given day....

I told our kid's school today that we'll probably need to reserve a spot come Nov/Dec.....the scope of people who know of #3 is slowly expanding. I wasn't planning on necessarily telling that many people yet but school books up so fast! I'm sure they would've figured it out for us even if we waited another month since they've known us for like 4 years, but I dind't wanna put them into some awkward spot later on.

Nymeria how sweet of your husband!! DH and I told MIL about the baby at lunch today, she was thrilled and it was really great. I’m super close to her and am so happy to have someone else to talk to about the pregnancy. We’re going to try to tell my parents tomorrow. I just put DD down for a nap and am hoping it sticks so I can have a nap too. Today’s my only day off this week so I’m trying to rest while I can.

I'm now having some serious food aversions. Totally grossed out by meat that isn't chicken or deli ham. Of course mh made pork chops tonight. Also couldn't stomach broccoli. I just want the carbs. Pesto pasta seemed satisfying.

Nymeria , I've been doing the same and mixing juice and water when I can't handle plain water. It think it's been helping. Gatorade might be an even better idea though with the added electrolytes! blurnette989 , flyliceandcoffee , It's a giant carb-fest here too. All day, every day. Some variation of carbs with some variation of cheese. It's been hard for me to get in here. Reading the computer/phone screens hurts my eyes and adds to my headaches, and thus my nausea, so I can't spend too much time here. But I'm trying to follow along!

Teeth, especially canines can suck it. I think I might have to find a couch in the office today and curl up for a short nap....

I have been having a ridiculous craving for Panda Express’s orange chicken. I waffled about it for two hours before finally eating the lunch that I brought today. Take that, pregnancy craving!
And I’ll see you tomorrow, pregnancy craving.

I have gotten up every night this past week to pee. This didn't happen until way later with DD  I have a really hard time falling back sleep so I've just been hanging out every night at 1 am for 1/2 hour to an hour trying to fall back asleep. |

Question- I have a highlight appointment scheduled for Monday. I'll only be about 5 weeks along. I haven't seen my OB yet and I can't remember if I waited until after 1st trimester with DS. Anyone hear color their hair? What are you guys going to do? Personally I would reschedule. I'm sure it's fine but the pamphlet from my OB office says perms and hair coloring are ok after 13 weeks. |

Anyone hear color their hair? What are you guys going to do? I colour my hair. I started going grey when I was 16 and I'm not ready to lean into the silver look. When I was pregnant with my daughter I asked my OB, family doc and hairstylist if it was safe and all three said go ahead as long as there's adequate ventilation in the salon. So this go round I'm going with that and continuing to colour my hair. I would think that highlights would be even safer than my all over colour because there's less scalp contact. That said, do whatever makes you comfortable! If you're nervous, doesn't hurt to skip it this time or delay a few months. We all have things we're more laid back about and things we're really careful about, for various reasons. |

Thanks, CharlieB. Now I want trader Joe's orange chicken. Ha...sorry! 😬 I thought about it on the entire drive home, so I think it’s safe to say that I did not beat my craving. |

You girls are killing me! I can't eat gluten or dairy, and of course that's all I crave! Orange chicken actually sounds really good even though I haven't been able to stomach chicken the last few weeks.

I had a Chinese food craving the other day too! I made homemade general tso chicken because there isn't much Chinese here. It was sooooooo yummy. I tried to drown some broccoli in the sauce but it still made me gag lol. Oh well.
Last night I was craving ranch so I made some and drowned my salad in that. At least I ate some veggies?
Also I'm learning how to make so much stuff from scratch if I can't find it here. That's at least a useful side effect of the pregnancy.

Anyone hear color their hair? What are you guys going to do? I have terrible gray roots, I am waiting to get them colored until 2nd tri. It is killing me I have way more gray hair then any 32 yr old should. |

I have terrible gray roots, I am waiting to get them colored until 2nd tri. It is killing me I have way more gray hair then any 32 yr old should. My hair is pretty thinning in front which is why I love to have my bond highlights thicken it up ( or create that illusion). I decided to err on the side of caution and wait until 2nd tri to get it colored. I may go for a haircut though, I wanna chop it off again lol. chop it off while you can!!! I'm lucky if I get to one haircut a year now that I have kids hahahahahhaa |
