Thanks to @BusinessWife I'm officially addicted to Giphy.. hahaha.. had trouble sleeping last night so I was adding more and more gifs.. I think my number is almost to 500, all in one evening/night.
I woke up today insatiable! Looks like my body is going to take care of the extra 300 calories a day I’m suppose to eat in second tri. I feel like the Very Hungry Caterpillar on Saturday.
I love gifs too! And they make these boards even more entertaining.
I have only gotten out of bed today to walk the dog and get snacks for myself. The ms is so bad yesterday and today I have gotten no sleep was up all night and I’m terrifed to eat anything. Oh and riding in the car is a big negative as I now get carsick on a 10 minute ride.
So hungry right now but nothing sounds edible! The worst is that I'm thirsty in the mornings but have yet to find a beverage that doesn't make me want to vomit. Also feel full so quickly, which sucks when I have a craving and then can't really enjoy fulfilling it. We went out to a really nice restaurant for Valentine's and I don't think I was able to eat half of it. At least I'm not gaining weight? (Before I get flamed, I'm obese so I really shouldn't gain any during first tri if possible.) Exhaustion does seem to have let up a bit so I just feel lethargic instead of truly handicapped, so that's good. Hm. Maybe this should have gone on the symptoms thread? Oh well.
@klj0228 Ugh I’m so sorry Hope you feel up to eating and get some good rest soon!
I ate some delicious birthday cake at a party and am now on the couch watching a Lifetime movie. My DH is doing our grocery shopping and DD is playing quietly in her playroom. I watched sooo much Lifetime while on maternity leave with #1.
Me: 32 DH: 32 BFP #1: 1/23/2012 DD: Born 9/20/2012 BFP #2: 12/30/2017 DS: Due 9/10/2018
Yea, I've been ravenous for the last few days. Pasta, pizza, cake, mmmmmm. DH is now cooking me pancakes because that's what baby wants 10 weeks and only gained 1.5-2lbs but I feel like 2nd tri is not going to go as smooth.....
I'm so grateful that my cold is clearing up and my nausea seems to be slightly better. Won't try to go without unisom yet though. There is definitely some blumpage going on that I'm not fully comfortable with, I wasn't even remotely showing until like 18-20 weeks last time. I've been pretty self conscious of all the changes my body went through during my last pregnancy/post partum, and I really just don't want to hear "OMG you're huge" the whole time. This is totally a rant, and I know others go through this too. Hopefully it'll be a little easier once more people know I'm pregnant and not just getting fat. End rant I suppose.

I've been losing weight so far from being so damn sick. Not a lot, less than 5 pounds, so it's not a big deal. Last night and today though I've started to get hungry and tons of cravings. I'm feeling like weight gain is right around the corner if I can get over all these damn plagues. Right now I can't stop thinking about teriyaki chicken.
How random was it for a thread to be posted a day early and wasn't a question pertaining to the group, but themselves....
Eh. I thought it was fine. She tried and acknowledged that she might not have gotten it quite right. It takes a while to get used to the uber organized board. As long people try at all, I'm cool.
I judge parents who let their 7-10 year olds tear through/ monopolize the toddler play equipment with disregard for the littles. It must be nice for the kids to be big enough that you can socialize or read a book while they play at the park, but they are still your responsibility to make sure they aren’t acting like asshole terrorists in the 2-5 section. It isn’t raining on the weekend for the first time in months and we were enjoying the weather. Mom rage.
@nlc8424 Girl yes. I’m a ftm and have a bit of a bump already. Not noticeable to anyone else but it does have me worried about how big I’ll get. Haha my early bump is so bitter sweet. Yet we had pizza for dinner too, so clearly not that worried haha
@stothi I lost weight at first too. It came back on just fine once my appetite came back
@nlc8424@SkilledSailor I haven’t gained any weight, but definitely have a little blump. Trying not to feel too self conscious about it, but some days are worse than others.
DH tried to inform me I needed to eat something other than cheeseburgers. I kindly reminded him that any food that will stay inside my body is better than spinach or something else healthy coming back up.
@stothi I did notice it... and offered recommendations for the future on the post. The board is uber organized due to the "read first" board organization thread. As you are on the board longer, you will notice that this is a weekly thing. If it was the first time, I wouldn't of reacted the way that I did. When I was new on the board, I read it several times before I made a thread and if I had any questions about making one, I asked on that thread, like it says to.
@SkilledSailor and @klj0228 I feel you both. Add to the fact that this isn't my first rodeo and any abs that made their way back onto my body have already given up and said "Let's relax and expand!". Stupid MS, haven't thrown up but literally was eating every 60-90 minutes for about 4-5 weeks has not done me any favors.
I'm including fruit and veggies most days so that's a win in my book. I actually didn't get too huge my first pregnancy, you sometimes didn't even know it until I turned around. I don't know if I'll be so lucky this time.
I am so excited for all of you that are starting to have morning sickness lighten up! @klj0228 The rule for myself is eat what you can, when you can. It's better to eat something not exactly healthy and keep it down than to force down something healthy that makes you sick.
I actually got to eat this morning! But now I'm sitting in bed actively trying not to vomit at the smell of pizza coming from my IL's kitchen.
But I would love someone forever if they brought me chocolate cake. I might actually eat some of it.
Oh and I finally got to weigh myself because I knew I had lost a few pounds. I was thinking that I maybe lost 3 pounds. Nope, I'm down 7 from my last appt 20 days ago. So, I'm talking to my OB on Monday. I lost 15# in first tri with DD. I'm on track to lose more than that this time. I'd really like to be able to at least force feed myself on a regular basis.
Damn this feels like I should have put it in symptoms.
Eta @SkilledSailor Haven't tried lemon water but that sounds terrible to me even when I'm not pregnant. Plain old ice water has the highest success rate. Hot chocolate also goes down easy but I have only allowed myself to have it twice because if all the sugar.
@Car0liiine it was actually @SkilledSailor that suggested lemon water, but I hear you about the hot chocolate. I've been having one cup in the afternoon when my nausea starts to get bad and for some reason it really does work for me. It's about the only sugary thing that works for me right now so I'm not worried about having one cup a day. Sometimes I go crazy and have a second! Usually just the one though. I don't do straight lemon water but I do drink really watered down lemonade sometimes and that also goes down ok for me.
@stothi Woops! I dunno what it is about the hot chocolate, it's just smooth and warm. I also happened to have the dark chocolate kind - yum! I might have to try the weak lemonade.

Yes! Dark chocolate is the only one that I can drink right now. I look forward to my toddler's nap time cause that when I sit down to have my hot chocolate. I feel like it fortifies me to get through the rest of the afternoon. Super watered down lemon lime Gatorade also works for me. I'm actually having some right now because dinner made me want to throw up.
I’m the same way as some of you—suuuper nauseous unless I’m eating every hour. I’ve gained 4 lbs, but my doctor said she thinks I’ll slow down when I don’t feel so awful. I’ve also been working out and my boobs, just like last time, basically exploded and now they are So. Damn. Heavy. So that might be part of it. This pregnancy thing...it’s awesome, but it’s CRAZY!
I finally bought some maternity pants! I couldn’t take it, it was making me unreasonably upset. Between the fact that my pants were physically too tight, and the fact that I looked just awful....I skipped out of my office on Friday morning and went to target for an hour lol. My boss is traveling and is 15 hours ahead, so, I saw my uninterrupted window and took it! However, the jeans with the over-the-belly panel absolutely won’t stay up. Also, I look noticeably more pregnant now bc I don’t have a waistband to conceal my tummy. But I feel better!
Uuggghhhh. DH informed me yesterday he wants to be team green because it's his last real surprise in life. I mean, I get it, I really do. And while I like the idea of a surprise, I don't want to be "dissapointed" at birth. I really want another boy and I know I'll love a girl just as much, I just feel like I'll need time to accept it. Niece is so difficult I can't get myself excited for a girl. I sound aweful I know. I'm also terrified of feeling like its one or the other and growing attached to that then having the opposite.
I seriously admire those who are team green. I don’t like surprises. Plus, for me personally it feels like s/he is a “real” person once I know the sex and they have their name.
Just saw Black Panther! It was really good but not as great as the media made it out to be. Or maybe we had higher expectations because of the media. Totally still worth seeing.
For me, the “surprise” isn’t really a surprise...it’s one or the other, no surprise there LOL! And whatever “surprise” aspect there is is the same finding out during the pregnancy as it is at the birth. How is it a surprise when you find out at he birth, and not a surprise when you find out earlier? I mean, I’ve only had one and I found out ahead...but I felt like there was plenty of overwhelming “newness” and info being thrown at me at the birth, I was glad I wasn’t also finding out the sex in that moment! But to each their own.
@SkilledSailor I will fully admit that any inclination I have to go Team Green would be fueled by spite My mother will not stop saying things like "when you find out what you're having then I can buy x,y,z" and she's usually referring to clothes or to buying fabric for a quilt. Damn it, I'm having a baby not a unicorn. We know it's a baby. She knows I don't like overly gendered things for babies.
So, I'm just thiiiiiiiiiis close to holding out on finding out the sex until birth. Even though I will want to know just because I like to know things.
Yep, to me it’s as much of a surprise at 20 weeks as it is at birth. @knitknitread you could always find out and not tell others that you know, or just say you’re not telling anyone.
We have to find out because we have had our 2nd girls name since I was pregnant with DD, but boys names are going to be very difficult, so if we can avoid having to do that, we will. If it’s a boy then at least we will have 20 weeks to figure it out.
@prpl11butterfly I totally get it! I kind of wanted to do the surprise thing bc I like the old fashioned “it’s a _____!” moment, but I worry about that same thing. I’ve always really wanted a girl, and while obviously I’ll be over the moon either way, I want to find out sooner so we can all process and plan. It’s not like if the doctor says “It’s a boy!” DH will go “sigh, ok” but still haha.
Unrelated, DH just suggested that I skip dinner (crazy FIL is in town and we have reservations at my favorite restaurant) bc I’m tired and emotional (bc nothing fits me and FIL is driving me nuts). So back to last week’s question of “Does anyone want to help me hide a body?”
ETA I almost said “How about you two skip dinner and I go by myself?”
@knitknitread Hahaha omg I relate so hard. MIL is not shy about telling us she wants us to have a girl. I’ve been tempted to tell her we’re not finding out the sex til birth just so I don’t have to hear her disappointment in a boy or over excitement in a girl.
I have a bad headache (sinus headache from my stupid sinus infection) and I was so busy trying to keep it together and counting down the hours till bedtime that I forgot to make dinner. My toddler comes up and starts pretty desperately asking for a snack and all the sudden it dawns on me that I should probably feed him, since it was dinner time and all. I made two crappy turkey sandwiches, literally just bread and meat, and gave buddy some blackberries and some string cheese so I could pretend like I tried. I just had my sandwich. Buddy only ate half of his and every few minutes I keep asking him, "so uh, you gonna finish that?" I totally want the rest of his sandwich if he isn't going to eat it, lol. I feel bad about dinner but I made him a good lunch and we ate peas straight from the garden when we played outside earlier, so I feel like my overall parenting average for the day isn't too bad.
We went snowmobiling this weekend, and this morning I woke up not feeling well. I thought it was related to muscle soreness, but now I'm thinking it's body aches/chills from an illness I'm coming down with. I cried when I had to push the ibuprofen aside and take worthless Tylenol.

@redpuma119 Damnit, now I want pizza. It’s been on the no-go list for weeks but today might be it’s come back.
^ New evening plans.
