Questions: none today
GTKY: it would have to be eggs, fried, scrambled, omelettes, I'd never get sick of them!
Symptoms: Irritability, bloating, fatigue, big boobs.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I told my sister last night and she took it well. She's been TTC for a year with no luck. She was very supportive in stead of angry.
Questions for the group? -
GTKY: You can only eat one food for the rest of your life. What is it? Pizza. So many options for pizza
Rants/ Raves/ Stories: I have been extremely bloated this whole pregnancy. Well yesterday it got so bad we had to leave my SIL house. We had just pulled out of their driveway and DH had to pull the car over immediately because I had to throw up my lunch. It was horrible. It was going everywhere and I had the sun beating down on my back. Snot started running down my face and then I got this HUGE snot bubble that was just holding on and breathing made it bigger (tmi I know sorry). So then I started to bawl my eyes out because everything just hurt and this bubble just would not go away. Poor DH kept giving me napkins and baby wipes to clean myself up. It was awful. Then once I was done I received a headache for all that pain.
Questions for the group: None at this time that I can think of. But I'm sure I'll have some in about 30 min. Pregnancy brain.
GTKY: You can only eat one food for the rest of your life. What is it?: Pasta!!! Fettuccini Alfredo. Homemade Mac & Cheese. Spaghetti & Meatballs. Yum!!!
Rants/Raves/Stories: Today someone called my boss at the post office to report a mail carrier (me! Omg) that they thought might be drunk dry heaving by their mail truck
Questions for the group? Anyone else been told heart rate may be a little low and to wait 2 weeks and come back?
GTKY: You can only eat one food for the rest of your life. What is it? CANNOLI CAKE!

I have not, but do you mind sharing what the HR was?
3 miscarriages - 1 DS (6) - 1 DD (3) - #3 due March 30!
@CCLow87 it was around 98-100ish. The doctor said it's not awful but they want to see it above 115. She didn't seem to concerned but I am going back in 2 weeks
I have been trying not to stress about it but that's hard lol. The Internet seems to think it could be because it's still early? I'm guessing that's why such an early followup.
Week: 7
Symptoms: nausea, bloating, huge sore boobs

CANNOLI CAKE!
What is cannoli cake? That sounds absolutely delicious!!
Symptoms: super sore boobs, lower back pain, nausea, dry heaving, very small cramps (but sudden- apparently uterus stretching- already freaked and called my doctor), bleeding gums when I brush and floss my teeth (wtf), hyper emotional, shortness of breath if I move too quickly, and some constipation
Rants/raves/stories: I'm hyper sensitive and nauseous. I thought I was fine for my presentation and ended up projectile vomiting on our conf room table on Thursday. I'm pretty sure my office -all males- has an idea, sadly. And I teared up when my coworkers got coffee without me, to the point where my work husband ended up going again with me.

I'm pretty sure my office -all males- has an idea, sadly. And I teared up when my coworkers got coffee without me, to the point where my work husband ended up going again with me.
Symptoms: Exhausted, peeing a lot, sore and larger boobs, breakouts on my face, bloat
Rants/Raves/Stories: Took our first "bump comparison" photo this week. Looking forward to seeing the progression! Also my GP gets back from vacation on Monday so I will finally be able to call for an appt. The wait has been torture.
Questions for the group? When will the morning sickness start? Not that I'm looking forward to it, I just need some time to prepare myself. I rarely throw up.
GTKY: You can only eat one food for the rest of your life. What is it? This is really hard to choose. Especially right now when I have a hard time deciding what to eat. Probably BBQ chicken and veggies. Somewhat healthy, but also filling.
@TKaiser91 oh my gosh it's dangerously good. It's actually more like a pie, but a few places around here make it.
The crust of the pie is like the crunchy part of the cannoli ... and then the filling is like cannot filling, with chocolate chips and flakes of chocolate ontop.
A local bakery called luigi's makes THE BEST. And they sell it by the slice at a local fast food-ish place called Dutches. Between the pie and the onion rings I think I'm going to be a blimp by the time this pregnancy is over lol.
@bboroski omg that sounds so heavenly right now. There is only a few places the have cannolis where I live and the one I tried here was horrible. I almost cried because of it. I tried my first cannoli just earlier this year in March when I went on vacation to see my dad in Florida and it was the best thing ever! I'm going back there in less than two weeks and I'm almost as excited to eat more of them as I am to see my dad! Lol
@katieg2013 you may not throw up at all. I think ti's very common to have nausea but not actually throw up. Some people do throw up... and some people don't ever get MS at all. But I think around sixish weeks is probably the average time when it kicks in.

@bboroski I will definitely have one for you! Very hot there but at least it's a dry heat and there's beaches!! Lol where I'm from it's humid and muggy and awful! Ugh Midwest weather sometimes!
Symptoms: nausea (although it is worse in the evening than in the morning), so much bloat- by the end of the day, I feel like I look 6 months pregnant. Sore boobs, although not terrible
Rants/Raves/Stories: I have been on vacation with H's family this week (all 17 of them) and hiding a pregnancy isn't the most fun thing to have to do.
******* For Those Who Start New Weeks on Fridays ***********
Week: 7
Symptoms: sore boobs, mild daytime nausea, some nights of "MS", headaches, mild cramps, allergies!, exhaustion (naps are my friend)
Rants/Raves/Stories: Everytime I mention/complain about a pregnancy symptom, my DH says, "you're growing baby! There's a lot going on in there!" As he points to my tummy. He says it as though I have forgotten...it cracks me up. And I can handle the nausea...but the backaches/constipation. Lord. Tmi, but sometimes I'll go to the bathroom and think, "finally!" Only to see the tiniest little poop ever. Ugh.
Questions for the group? Not at this time
GTKY: You can only eat one food for the rest of your life. What is it? Bacon Mac n Cheese
Symptoms: tenderness, ultra fatigue, and intermittent, angry nausea.
Rants/Raves/Stories: just got back from a Mediterranean cruise! I was able to get away with keeping it a secret from my parents; my husband and I wanted to make sure everything was okay before spilling the beans about our bean.
We went to the OB today, and our little bean is doing great! Got our first ultrasound! Strong heartbeat!!!
Questions: none at the moment.
GTKY: my one food would actually be Progresso lentil soup. I've been in love with that stuff since I was a little girl!
Symptoms: Fatigue. All I want to do is sleep all day. I have some hot flashes in the morning when I wake up and have to sit in front of the fan for about 10 mins to feel better.
Rants/Raves/Stories: Finally got my first OB appoint for Sept. 9th and I can't wait. So Excited.
Questions for the group? None
GTKY: You can only eat one food for the rest of your life. What is it? Nachos. I love Nachos!
