Re: ** SUNDAY/MONDAY TICKER CHANGE **
Rants/Raves? I have been having HORRIBLE headaches and my MS is still coming really bad at night. My biggest rant tho is a I share an office with 4 others and the guy that sits right next to me is REALLY sick and hacking and sounds horrible and came to work. I'm so pissed....have some consideration for your co-workers, especially when you know one is pregnant. I just hope so bad that I don't get sick, but I know with my immune system it's more than likely going to happen. Only rave is that I only have to work 4 days this week.....not much of a rave but I'm trying to give myself something to not be upset about since everything else is pissing me off lol.
Dr. Appointment updates? Can't wait for my appt. next week. It feels like forever since my last appt.
GTKY: Whats your favorite family recipe? Share if it isn't a secret family recipe! My absolute favorite is my grandma's sweet potato biscuits, when she passed away my grandfather hasn't been able to make them the same, but my Aunt started making them and they're SOO good. Another family recipe is chocolate peanut butter balls. I can't share either....very secret recipes lol.
How many weeks are you? Fruit? 16 weeks, avocado!
Rants/Raves? Rant: not last night, but the night before, I had super weird cramping on my left side that woke me up at 2:30 and kept me up until 5. Felt like the kind of cramp you get if you drink too much water right before you run. As soon as I got up and started moving around, it went away and it hasnt returned. No bleeding or anything like that or I would have called the doctor. Unless it comes back, I'm assuming everything is okay? Raves: I'm leaving for Florida for Christmas with my family tomorrow, so I am treating myself to a mani-pedi today (my feet have been in nothing but boots for months). That and lots and lots of laundry so I have something to pack. Also, when I was laying in bed this morning, I could have sworn I felt a little flutter - totally could have been gas, but I'm going to be optimistic.
Dr. Appointment updates? Next appt is Jan 5th and DH is actually coming with me so he can see little baby move!
GTKY: Whats your favorite family recipe? Share if it isn't a secret family recipe! My grandma's squash casserole is BOMB. That one is a secret and I can't share. My mom also makes an artichoke dip at every family gathering that is always a hit (SOOO bad for you, but so good), see below:
2 cans artichoke hearts, drained
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese + some for sprinkling
Place artichokes in an 8x8 baking dish (glass or ceramic is best). Using a potato masher or a couple of forks, mash 'em up. Add mayo and Parmesan cheese and stir to combine. Sprinkle a little bit of Parmesan cheese on the top. Bake at 350, checking after 30 minutes. Its done when the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbly. I serve it with tortilla chips :-)
@Diesel615 sorry to hear about your headaches and MS. Hopefully it will get better in the coming weeks. I also hate when people come to work while they are sick spreading their germs everywhere. We are just going to keep saying your're not going to get sick then it won't happen, Right?
How many weeks are you? Fruit? 16 weeks/Avocado
Rants/Raves? Rant: I'm a stomach sleeper and I'm trying to start sleeping on my side. Somehow last night I slept wrong on my pillow and my neck is killing me. It hurts even when turning left to right.
Dr. Appointment updates? Can't wait for my appointment tomorrow. It's just my monthly check-up but I look forward to hearing the heartbeat on the doppler.
GTKY: Whats your favorite family recipe? Share if it isn't a secret family recipe! Hmmm don't really have a family recipe to share however my favorite dish to make during the holiday is maccaroni and cheese. I always make Pattie LaBelle's recipe and use cavatappi noodles instead of elbow and use more muenster cheese because it makes it really creamy. It's sooo good!
Rants/Raves? I'm going to a private clinic tomorrow to see if they can do an early gender determination! I'm going to surprise DH for Christmas if baby cooperates and we get a determination! Squeeeeeee!!!!!
Dr. Appointment updates? Had one last week. Next one is January 12 for my anatomy scan.
GTKY: Whats your favorite family recipe? Share if it isn't a secret family recipe! Cooking isn't really my family's strong suite... LOL... Dad does make a mean mashed potato. I don't even know the recipe.
Me: 26 | DH: 27
Rants/Raves? So happy to have finally shared the news to everyone we know. Rants: Not much, just still feeling tired, heartburn has picked up quite a bit, and lots random shooting crotch pains, RLP.
Dr. Appointment updates? Had my NT scan last Thursday and everything looked great and loved seeing our little bean move his arms and legs and 'hiccup', it was so cute. And just got a call that everything came back very low - 1 in 10,000 for Downs, Trisomy 13, and Trisomy 18. So happy to hear that and right before Christmas too! Now just waiting to hear back on some other blood tests and hopefully find out the sex as well! Next appt isn't until mid Jan.
GTKY: Whats your favorite family recipe? Share if it isn't a secret family recipe! I don't think we have any!! Sad! My dad used to make Rice Pizza for us all the time but I don't have his recipe, but I've been able to find a similar rice crust recipe online. But, if you haven't tried it, it is sooo good. Usually the crust is made with 2 cups cooked white rice (let cool so it doesn't cook the egg), 1/2 mozzarella cheese, 1 egg - beaten, and some 'pizza' seasoning (maybe about 1 tsp), and a dash of hot sauce mixed together, pressed onto a crust, and then baked at 400 for about 5-6 min until set, then add your favorite topping and bake for a few more min until cheese is melted.

Rants/Raves? My prenatals are making me so sick if I take them without food...I didn't have this problem with my last kind. Think it's time to look for a new one, I hate that I need to research!
Dr. Appointment updates? I have my next appt on 1/8 and anatomy scan on 1/11. I'm doing an elective gender ultrasound on Thursday so we can find out for Christmas. I'm pretty excited!

The Pioneer Woman spaghetti & meatballs is by far the best spaghetti & meatballs I've ever had. DH is very food picky (he owns a restaurant) and he begs for it. It's so freakin good! I add Italian sausage & also split up the meat in the meatballs between ground pork, beef, and veal. It's incredible!

Omfg I can't stop throwing up. I throw up every dang day!! I'm soooo tired of it. This is my third pregnancy and ms did not last this long with the either two. Nothing sounds good to eat, everything I eat upsets my stomach, I throw up at least once a day now. The vomiting stopped for one whole week, but now it's back! I'm in disbelief.

I talked to the doctor about it and she was uninterested and wouldn't prescribe diclegis. She said most insurances don't cover it so just take B6 and unisom over the counter. Thanks. I left my appointment so discouraged and the worse part is I am basically stuck with this doctor because of insurance.

My mom makes a pasta with tons of different white cheeses that has been our family thing for a long time. It's basically a big casserole and easy to bring to parties. I'm surrounded by toddlers at the moment otherwise I would get the recipe out ☺️
Rants/Raves?
I threw up for the first time this morning. Seriously??? After weeks of nausea, I threw up after gagging while brushing my teeth. I didn't even feel sick, just gagged a little (not uncommon) and then couldn't stop once I started. Ugh
Dr. Appointment updates? I went last week for a quick check in and everything looks good. Looking forward to next month, with the gender ultrasound!!!

I'm drawing a blank on any from my family or my husband's that are earth shattering. My husband's old roommate is a good friend of ours, and his family has a super secret pecan brittle recipe. They used to give my husband a box of it for Christmas every year because he loves it so much. For our wedding, they shared the recipe with us! Hands down my husband's favorite wedding gift that we got
