Current pregnancy - First BFP on 1/4/22. Due date 9/13/22.
Four prior losses, no living children - 1 first trimester miscarriage, 1 blighted ovum, 1 chemical, and one extreme premature live birth daughter who died at 15 days old.
@pangolindrome root beer is my jam, just trying not to drink it too much because I likely have a sugar problem and don't want another giant baby, but I had two cups of it this weekend and it was delicious.
I discovered miss Vickie’s spicy dill pickles chips and I cannot believe how satisfying they are, it’s like all my cravings in one bite 😩🙌🏽 I NEVER ate chips previous to this pregnancy, this baby is turning me into a whole new person 🤣☠️
@aaj1821 I’ve been trying to use beef jerky to substitute my chip craving, but I just ate an entire family sized bag of Doritos the other day so that’s not working 🤣
@aaj1821 popcorn helps, but eventually the chip craving must be satisfied. Sent the hubby to Kroger for salt and vinegar chips tonight. In fairness, I had an emergency bag hidden in the pantry but he found and ate them last week.
My boy person is currently being sent to the store for ice cream. And this time I had to be specific, since last time I wrote "ice cream" on the list he brought home something random. Unless otherwise explicitly specified, "ice cream" ALWAYS mean's Breyer's vanilla!

We went to a local frozen custard place last night because randomly right before the kids bedtime I was like “let’s go get ice cream.” And fortunately DH said “if that’s what you want?” Heck yes!
@mokay19 on the plus side, the baby is fickle. Chips sound disgusting now lol. I’d kill for a yogurt parfait, though. I may hit Publix on my lunch break.
@pangolindrome - Grape Juice, Apple Juice, Mixed Berry Juice, Cranberry Juice... It takes so much water to even attempt to balance out my juice cravings. I wish there was less sugar in fruit juice because it's all I want!
The toasted buffalo chicken flatbread from Subway.... with minimal spinach and shredded cheese, but plenty of tomatoes, pickles, black olives, ranch and buffalo sauce - HIT the SPOT this weekend!
Grilled Tenderloin steak, thin sliced potatoes, and zucchinis are on the menu tonight.
Chocolate, cookies, ice cream, all my sweet tooth basics.... no longer on the menu for me (so weird), but I'll take ALL the veggies in dill dip and all the fruit!
@leannechristina what I used to do with juices is to dilute them - half juice, half water. That way you can still get your juice flavor, but with half the calories/sugar relative to pure juice.

I have been super into boujey flavored sparkling waters. Splurged on a variety case of San Pelegrino ones at Costco in December and recently remembered they were in the beverage refrigerator! I couldn't even stomach the thought of anything carbonated a few weeks ago, so this is a welcome change. It even makes me feel like I can stay up playing cards with the husband on a Saturday night having a "drink"
We had Jersey Mike’s yesterday because I’d been craving a cheesesteak and… it was really disappointing. Even the Big Kahuna didn’t do the trick. Some time after, hubbs said he hadn’t been satisfied after his and I was so relieved because I felt the same way but felt too bad to say so since we only went because I wanted it. We’ll just go the extra distance to have Firehouse Subs next time. It’s better. Even Subway, we’ve been enjoying the rotisserie style chicken, is better. At least I used points to get a lot of money off our order.
@leannechristina@kboydbowman I always dilute my fruit juice either way. Life pro tip: dilute them with sparkling water (GO GO SODA STREAM POWERS) and make it even more satisfying. I’m weird like that, it’s just what I like. Full strength fruit juice feels heavy to me.
@mnmomma84 the boy person practically won't drink regular water, so i have cases and cases of Buble and other variants laying around my house. Ya'll can have them - I don't like water that's mean to my mouth.

I call it angry water 🤣 and I’ve been diluting a can with half regular water for a little “zing” but also less stomach upset. Can’t have citrus flavors right now which is literally all we have. They trigger the metal taste. I’m so thankful for our Soda Stream.
I am watching Bad Vegan on Netflix and they were talking about the arrest and pizza pizza pizza....so Cletus the Fetus has decided that he wants pizza for dinner....boy en route shortly to collect the Domino's I just ordered.

As a foodie and someone who loves to cook, I am so so happy that my nausea/food aversions are finally gone! We have gotten back into meal planning and cooking good food during the week. Last night we made Adobo Chicken & Kale Enchiladas. It's an Eating Well recipe and one of my faves!! Recipe linked below
I couldn't make anything this morning for lunch so I was going to have a can of soup which didn't sound good, but it's already here at school. My coworker next door just walked in and was like I made twice baked potatoes and had extra so I snuck it in your fridge if you want it. Now I'm super excited about that.
I made Belgian waffles from scratch this morning and now I’m eating penne pasta with marinara, old cheddar and green olives 🤣 the pasta was a “I need to eat it now” craving
@mamamoomoo12 maybe take some supplements to help out?

@mamamoomoo12 ranch is my answer to everything. I’ve been eating fresh vegetables with ranch and it helps make them more tolerable and sometimes add some spinach in to get a little bit of iron mixed in and make it more of a salad. I sometimes also add small amounts to smoothies too.
@mamamoomoo12 first of you go the supplement route, megafood blood builder is amazing its worked magic for both of my pregnancies and I'm using it again. It has vitamin C to help absorb and I don't feel like it makes me backed up or puke like other supplements.... If you're looking for an easy food. The pediatrician we had for our first daughter told us cheerios had a ton of iron in them which they do, if you're looking to just get a bit through the carbs you're eating.
My midwives recommended I follow the Brewer diet, which is high protein but also a lot of dairy, which is a challenge for me because I don’t like the taste of most dairy. I’ve been snacking on beans and rice with this yummy spiced Korean chili oil a friend made for me. It’s SO good!

I was tutoring yesterday and suddenly was just famished. Made DH cook me penne with bacon bits, cheddar, and topped with ketchup. It was entirely too good.

@jhysmath Thank you! I have an appointment in a weekish so I am going to talk to my provider about it before I start on any supplements. Tonight I was able to scarf down a steak and some broccoli. I am going to work on getting my diet back in order first because I have really been slacking off. I don't think the aversion excuse works anymore lol
Working from home today. Boy person made me a yummy kale, mushroom, and cheese omelet, as well as some meatless sausages. Is very nommy.
