Symptoms: nothing but exhaustion. I want my energy back! Maybe with a crazy toddler I just don't get it back.
Cravings: Pizza. Pizza every day! Domino's pan crust, to be specific.
Happy: I did the Color a Run 5k yesterday! It was so fun. Crappy: Schoolwork is weighing me down. I'm finding it really hard to be motivated to work, it's summer! Bleh.
GTKY: If I had an extra $500, I'd buy some clothes for myself and a new diaper bag and I'd make myself put the rest in savings. Although an IKEA shopping spree would be nice too...
Symptoms: Some light cramping and RLP, dizziness, and so tired.
Cravings: Really wanted good, wood-fired pizza yesterday. Both of my go-to places for that were closed. Not having any consistent cravings right now, but whatever I want at the moment, I become obsessed with.
Happy: I'm having an elective 3D ultrasound on Wednesday. Excited to see the little one again!
Crappy: The weekend is over. Why must weekends go by so fast?
GTKY: If I had an extra $500, I'd probably save it. Nothing too significant that I need right now.
Symptoms: headaches, stuffy nose, RLP. The worst symptom... I seem to be completely turned off by meat I'll be so hungry and as soon as DH and I sit down, I'll be so repulsed by the sight of meat (I stopped ordering meat, so usually just looking at his dish) that I can't eat anything! Finding creative ways to get protein now (PB, quinoa... Such a shame)
Cravings: nothing really. But I do love salt quite a bit right now. Bring on the chips!!
Happy/Crappy: I felt the baby move for the first time today (I felt a flutter last week, but this morning was a little movement in the same area for about 5 seconds - about two inches below my belly button and an inch to the right). Whoa!!
GTKY: Tell us what you would do with an extra $500 right now! That would be nice... I would add it to our new driveway and patio fund. It all goes in this week... And another $500 would certainly be nice
Symptoms: nausea if I don't eat soon enough, which I'm still struggling to plan appropriately for. Feeling fat and blah these days.
Cravings: nothing at the moment. I've been way more into savory than sweet this pregnancy. Soups usually sound good when nothing else does, but it's too dang hot.
Happy: we have an appt on Wednesday. I'll be glad to (hopefully) have some more reassurance. I hate this part of pregnancy when you can't feel baby and always wonder if everything is ok. Crappy: my toddler is acting like a toddler and testing my patience daily
GTKY: Pay the bill from my first appt!! Or get a new mattress. We want a king size. It was way too cramped with baby in the bed last time, and I'm not going to pretend for a second like I'll be able to get this one to sleep in the crib, because I won't.
Symptoms: just tired, maybe because I am still sorta jet lag.
Cravings: no cravings
Happy/Crappy: Found out we're having a baby girl! DH was convinced we were having a baby boy.. nope! .
GTKY: Tell us what you would do with an extra $500 right now! Save it, just came back from a 2 weeks vacation and the bank account has never looked so sad.
Happy/Crappy: HAPPY- We are team blue again!! I get to go in for another scan in 8 weeks for free because baby boy refused to remove his face from my placenta lol but we got perfect shots of his boy goods. CRAPPY- DS was diagnosed with strep throat today (busy day) and I have jury duty summons at 8 in the morning. Want to just shoot me now?
GTKY: Tell us what you would do with an extra $500 right now! Buy my living room rug! It's called Ultimate Shag and is $400 but I love it and since we have all concrete floors I can justify getting a really big, really luxurious rug.
I've joined you from Friday ticker change due to my dating scan today!!!
Weeks/Fruit: 12, plum
Symptoms: some days great, some days nauseous. Headaches started at the weekend which is new and not fun! Gas pain
Cravings: not craving really, just compromising on food hat doesn't repulse me as much as other foods at the moment!!!
Happy/Crappy: happy - had my first scan today and saw little one spinning around like mad! Midwife said everything looked good and he/she had a strong heartbeat. So exciting! I was so worried I had made up being pregnant somehow lol! And excitingly, we have a leap year due date!
GTKY: Tell us what you would do with an extra $500 right now!
