@radiohd18 You mix it with cheese, usually velveeta and we put ground venison in it. Put it in the crockpot to get the cheese all melty, then enjoy. It's so good.
Upcoming appointments: Monday Feb 10th for NT scan. Dying to see these babies again for some reassurance.
How are you feeling? slightly Improved but nausea and fatigue still think they run the show
Rants/raves: Rant: pregnancy acne...ARGH. That is all. Rave: As someone else mentioned above, Michigan had a rare and brief glimpse of spring-like weather and I got to take my pent up toddler to the park for the day. It was so nice.
Questions: None right now!
GTKY: IHO the super bowl what is your favorite appetizer? This question/all of your answers have made me equal parts nauseous and hungry haha. Normally I would say buff chicken dip (the recipe on the back of the franks bottle!) but I don't think I could stomach right now.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We did the NIPT testing Monday, and we are DEFINITELY finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
Upcoming appointments: Next appt is on Valentines Day! We may announce that day, or that weekend!
How are you feeling? Overall- decent. Tired, but better than I have in weeks. I think my family is happy I'm able to actually make more food than I was for dinner! Branching out from easy frozen stuff! It was a 6yo's dream for a while there- chicken nuggets and grilled cheese on the regular!
Raves/Rants:
Constipation is legit awful! I finally had to take Milk of Magnesia, holy cow, that stuff works.... fast.. lol
GTKY: IHO the super bowl what is your favorite appetizer? Cheese, anything cheesy! Liquid melty cheese... mmmmm
Upcoming appointments: Monday! Just a regular OB appointment; NT scan is the week after.
How are you feeling? Good. Finally have most of my energy back and, as long as I don't go too long between meals, nausea has all but dissipated. My boobs filled out all of a sudden and I'm feeling "thick," but no cute bump to speak of yet.
Raves/Rants: Now that I'm feeling better, I really really need to get my eating in check. Tomorrow's a new day!
Questions: N/A
GTKY: IHO the super bowl what is your favorite appetizer? Another one on team fried pickles. I especially like the slices vs. spears, to maximize the fried coating:actual pickle ratio. Onion rings are a close second.
@laur84ns@ziggymama06 Lol! I was literally in the middle of making chili, and I was like, "Ya know what? I think I'm going to fry some pickles." 😂 Took no time to coat them in bread crumbs/homemade Cajun seasoning and drop 'em in some oil. My body was begging for water the whole rest of the evening, though. I ate way too many.
@lachnessmomster Ok wow, super impressed you made those yourself!! I assumed they were premade and frozen, store bought. Hmm maybe I need to make some tomorrow!
@laur84ns Lol! Thanks! I love to cook/bake, and we don't go out to eat much, so whenever I get a craving for something, I usually have to make it myself. My goal in life is to be that grandma everyone in the family goes to to learn how to bake pies and fry stuff.
@lachnessmomster those look SO good I don't even like pickles! I can only read this thread right after I've eaten, otherwise I want to go out and eat ALL the snacks.
I'm high risk because of a blood antibody I have that's attacking baby. We get to meet the High risk OB Monday. What types of questions should I ask for my first appointment?
Upcoming appointments: I had my sequential screening ultrasound this week and all was good! A relief.
How are you feeling? Still nauseous. Slightly less tired. The nausea goes away eventually, right?
Raves/Rants: Finally allowed myself to start wearing maternity pants this week and it feels so good!
Questions: Any advice for traveling at this stage? Have a work trip coming up with some long flights!
GTKY: IHO the super bowl what is your favorite appetizer? Normally I love nachos, but with my pregnancy aversions I stuck with pretty bland popcorn for this game.
@mrswheeler812 I would ask what kind of monitoring you will receive and if it will be at their office or will everything be done out of your OB's office. Will you have more lab work? What does delivery look like? Who will deliver? Is there a particular hospital you need to deliver at? How many appointments are you looking at, so you can coordinate with work. Can they provide you with a document for work to explain why you need these appointments so that you are covered on that end? What is the latest will he let you deliver? The earliest?
I think these are a good jumping off point and once you get your treatment plan, you can go from there.
buhundbae I would get some compression socks. I put them on before I left the house for the flight and then took them off once I got to my destination.

@buhundbae FTM but I've had 5 trips that required flying since finding out I was pregnant (three were cross country), and physically I've felt okay, but the thing I've found most helpful is packing lots of snacks and getting extra water to bring on board.
@blackgirlmagic you had a super long flight! I don't anticipate any international flights before I deliver, but I'll keep flying frequently through mid June and was thinking I should get compression socks soon.
@buhundbae In addition to the great advice from @blackgirlmagic and @rivercitynik, I’d also recommend getting an aisle set so you can easily get up and walk around and/or go pee. Try to walk around every hour or two.

Thank you! I will add these to my list and ask today at my appointment!

I don't know how it is I have never had fried pickles, because I LOVE pickles! Lol
But I do have one question, what are saurkraut balls??? @riatortillaxo
