I'm so excited because MH is bringing me McDonald's for lunch lol.we don't have one terribly close, which normally is NBD for me, but he had to run an errand by the closest McDonald's so I asked for it. I keep seeing this advertisement around town for the Mississippi Chicken sandwich. I don't even know what it is, but it looks amazing lol.

DD found out I'm pregnant on Saturday. For the first time in 5 weeks she listened in on a conversation between MH and me. She was super excited about it. We were planning to wait until after my appointment on the 19th to tell her. She's been very concerned over how sick I've been lately, which really isn't even that bad but she worries a lot about me.

That's sweet ftwr. How old is she? My 4 year old is excited and he told his whole daycare class. He also told them it was a secret. He is obviously not great with secrets. Lol. |

Ugh, feeling terrible today. So nauseous. DS has a cold so sleep was not good in our house last night and I'm assuming that's related. I have yet to really eat anything today since my PB toast came back up which is not good since not eating makes me feel sick, but I can't eat since I'm feeling sick. I sat in the parking lot at work for 10-15 minutes trying to decide if I was actually coming in or if I was turning around and going back home to WFH. Currently wishing I had gone home...

I'm giggling a bit at ransoms  ftwr -- i'm surprised our DD hasn't figured it out yet which is probably good cuz she can't keep her trap shut for the life of her hahaha. Nymeria -- i hope you start feeling better soon! sleep definitely screws with nausea. DS was sick last week too and the night waking definitely took its toll on me too. |

I got some flavored creamer for my coffee today. It definitely helped me drink my coffee. except I think I made it too sweet...I normally just add sugar so I think I need to drop the sugar and just use the creamer?

I personally find sugar + flavored creamer to be too sweet. I would drop the sugar and see how that goes. |

I actually feel slightly human today (cue anxiety at the lack of nausea). I managed to eat some fresh pineapple this morning - pretty much the only fruit that sounds good besides applesauce - and and AND I made it to yoga for the first time since December. We'll see how my achy muscles feel about that decision tomorrow, but I'm patting myself on the back for now.
Another random "food" aversion...mint gum. I switched to cinnamon and now I want to eat the entire pack.

I got my son's head cold. It started last week with a stuffy nose where I couldn't get the gunk out and now, like a week later, I can't stop blowing my nose....it's sooooo bad......

I found the HB on my doppler this evening. DD and I got to listen for a few but when I tried to find it for MH it seems baby swam away. I calculated about 170 bpm.

That's awesome ftwr! We had a late night last night and now the toddler is having a long nap! Almost 3 hours now. I told a friend today that I'm pregnant and it went well. Our boys are the same age and she is also trying to get pregnant, so I was a little worried worried about how it was going to go. I'm thinking we're close to just making it public soon. |

flyliceandcoffee I’m sorry for the sickness! Colds should not be allowed while pregnant. Fx it clears out soon. ftwr That’s so great! I’ve been thinking about getting a doppler to calm my nerves, but I’m not sure if it would just make it worse. But I’m happy you found it - especially after last night.

Today was relatively good. Busy day at school then we had a meeting. My coffee this morning was gross and I’m bummed i used my daily caffeine on gross coffee. I want to tell my friends at school but I should probably tell my mom first or wait a few weeks. They were all so helpful at the beginning of the year....

akwild my coffee was the same today. I decided to wait till mid morning to see if it would hold me over better. Instead it was stale,bitter, and gross. Other than swim lessons DD and I recovered from a busy weekend. Today things really started to sink in. I found a new doctor here and scheduled our first appointment. I have no idea what to expect and the receptionist was less than helpful. I worked across the hall from my previous OB and my husband worked at the hospital I delivered at. This will be very different.

I'm still at home sick today. Got sick again this morning in the shower. It's really weird, but I had the same thing with DD, the sound of running water makes me gag and dry heave. I think the mixture of a stuffy nose and sore throat makes my nausea worse unfortunately.

shawnspencer I hate the entire first tri. Every symptom or lack of symptom gets my anxiety going. My husband constantly reminds me that until I know otherwise I have to believe everything is fine with baby. He also reminds me what will happen, will happen, and anything I do or don't do won't change that. Sometimes his advice helps, sometimes it doesn't.

don't panic yet shawnspencer! Symptoms can come and go so often. Can you give your doc a call and see if they'll bring you in for a check if it'll calm your nerves? |

Thanks brenna, my husband tells me the same thing. And while I know it's true, it's hard to really believe it. The 1st tri really does suck. |

My Dr is out of town but she told me I could make a phone appointment with one of the nurse practitioners who specializes in pregnancy anxiety any time I need to. So maybe I will do that. Thanks flyliceandcoffee. |

I'm sorry your sick brenna. And what a strange thing to trigger your gagging. I hope it gets better soon! |

Thanks flyliceandcoffee . That's nice they have someone who specializes in that. I think this is the first time I've heard of it but it makes so much sense to have someone in-office you can talk to. I hope it helps if you end up giving her a call. |

I had my OB history appointment this morning. Felt like a lot of questions they should have still had the answers for from DS, but the nurse warned me each baby gets its own file so we had to go through it all again.
We also finally booked an u/s - the 1st tri NT scan. 4 more weeks. I'll be 12w5d. It seems so far away!

Oh! And the nurse told me that for some people lemonade and potato chips works better at curbing nausea than ginger ale and saltines.

Nymeria the thought of potato chips and lemonade together makes me so nauseous! Are you going to try it?
