    Last Monday-Friday I was great! But Saturday and today have been rough (very nauseous and back to 1st tri symptoms). I've now caught a cold so I'm really struggling. Part of me is wishing I didn't call in fake sick twice last week so I could this week. Damn. 
    on a our positive note we are continuing to share the news which has been fun

    Not sure why my post cut off halfway there (I had it all typed up too grrr!!!)

    Continuing on....

    GTKY: What was your go to alcoholic drink before getting pregnant? And do you really miss it/crave it or something else?
    Go to drink would have been wine. Before I got pregnant I was obsessed with ginger beers and Moscow Mules. I don't miss the wine but I do miss the other 2, probably because they are more ginger based and I could stomach them. Lol too bad I can't!

    @charlestonchew thanks for getting this week's thread started! 
    Are there any particular deals you're looking for on black Friday or that you're excited about?

    @babys_2018 I think I'm going to get a couple of google home mini's. I already have a google home and they're like 50% off at Target.

    @tincupchalice Yay movement! I've been feeling movement too the past 3 days or so! It like started all of a sudden and I feel it every day now. It's super light though so if I'm not paying attention I could miss it.

    GTKY: What was your go to alcoholic drink before getting pregnant? And do you really miss it/crave it or something else? SkinnyGirl brand margaritas. I luckily don’t crave alcohol yet. I’ve had a couple weddings and drinking events and so far, so good. But not even halfway through so I’m sure my time will come ha.

    Not much is going on here. I still feel like crap, especially in the evening and my emotions are running high. I want to rant and rave about almost everything but I can’t think of anything specific right now.

    As far as hard liquor drinks, it’s Raspberry Stoli and 7 or a good White Russian with Ameretto (not sure how to spell that, and too lazy to look it up).  I really like a good dark beer also. Cold Smoke is my all time favorite beer. I haven’t been craving alcohol of any sort though.

    OB appointment tomorrow. I hurt. My hips and pelvis suck and will only get worse. I am tired of cold season!!!! I hate being sick and pregnant.

    GTKY: What was your go to alcoholic drink before getting pregnant? And do you really miss it/crave it or something else?

    I love good beer, not the Coors or bud crap but beer that has flavor, a nice IPA, porter, or stout. Barley wine is good too. My SO also brews as a hobby. I help sometimes lol but I don't wanna mess it up. I am also a big red wine fan. Nothing beats a good old vine zin. But really I like most types of red wine. 

    The good thing I suppose about morning sickness the first trimester, I had a complete aversion to alcohol! I still don't have any desire for beer but once in awhile I wanna have a glass of red wine. I haven't had any :P

    @tincupchalice & @charlestonchew I have been wondering about movement. I think I might be feeling it, but I don't wanna jump the gun, could be gas I suppose. But it's right there in my uterus which is forward and on my right side(my uterus is on one side), it's only in a specific spot not anywhere else or spread out otherwise I would have dismissed it. Oh well, if it is movement, it will soon get more pronounced! Exciting!

    Yesterday I was SO nauseated before lunch, and it made me so angry.  I've been feeling better, so I really hope it was just a fluke.  Today, I feel almost normal again, no headache (yet), and no nausea.  Woo hoo!  
    GTKY: What was your go to alcoholic drink before getting pregnant? And do you really miss it/crave it or something else?  Oh geez, I haven't been much of a drinker since the girls were born.  Before that, it depended on the situation.  If I was out to really drink/get drunk, it would be shots of whiskey with a good beer in between (Smithwicks, Beamish, Guinness, Blue Moon).  I'm not a huge wine drinker, but if just hanging out with friends or whatever, I love Moscato and the new Apothic Red and Apothic Crush (both red blends), even though I don't normally like reds.  If I'm just out to dinner I'll either get a glass of wine, a cider, or an amaretto sour or something like that.  I haven't been craving it because I've been so nauseated, but I did smell one the other day and I wanted a Blue Moon in the worst way.

    I'm feeling a lot better almost too good where I get freaked out a little. No raves or rants.

    Ginger beer and whiskey was my go to. I really thought I was going to miss alcohol or feel bad if I was around people drinking, but I don't really miss it at all.

    Work is stressful and I am tired so it's not a great combo for my peace of mind right now. Headaches are starting to hit me, although that may partly also be the stress. One symptom I hear about that I wish I WOULD have is increased libido. I am still just not feeling it and feel bad for my husband.

    I am getting so sick of not being able to highlight to copy paste text on here, it's held me back from replying to this all day before I found a work around.

    GTKY: What was your go to alcoholic drink before getting pregnant? And do you really miss it/crave it or something else?

    I mostly drank wine, although I was pretty into the local craft ciders too. I don't really miss drinking like I thought I might - I think partly because when nauseated, the last thing I want is alcohol anyway! But sometimes I do miss it when other people are going on about an exciting new wine or cider they're trying and I can't try more than a tiny sip, or missing out on drinking related events like Beaujolais Nouveau day this week.

    Jealous of you ladies who are starting to feel movement, I can't wait!! I thought I had felt something a week and a bit ago, but since I've felt nothing since, it must have been nothing.

    @k5678 sorry to hear about the bleeding and your doctor. I hope switching can happen smooth for you!

    @Kendrajos how was your OB appointment? 
    I'm also sick with a cold. I thought 14 weeks would bring some symptom relief but it doesn't feel that way since I just have a cold now!

    @tincupchalice @charlestonchew @Kendrajos @thunderberry I THINK I felt movement once...but haven't since.  What have you been feeling and how often? 

    @thunderberry I started to have an increased libido but now that I'm sick it's back off. We have had sex once since finding out

    Getting random waves of nausea at night. Other than that, I’ve been feeling much better.

    Beer - IPAs for life

    Wine - reds or whites are good with me. From a grape perspective, Shiraz or Zinfandel for reds; Riesling or Sauvignon Bland for whites. 

    Liquor - gin. Nothing beats a gin and tonic made with a high quality gin and served with a twist of lemon.

    @babys_2018 I feel it a little bit every day and sometimes its like bubbles or gas feeling but sometimes its more popping or poking. I can differentiate it from gas now depending on where it is and the type of feeling.

    jealous of the mana’s already feeling movement!!
    my sch has been getting smaller. Finally!! It was a rough first trimester!! But every couple weeks we get closer to complete recovery!!
    im in school, and am getting 90-95’s in all my courses(I’m in a pre employment program to be an electrician). Even with these awful headaches!! But I’m happy to eat again!! Soooo hungry... ALL THE TIME!!
    god I miss wine!!! But I’ve been craving brown cows(kahula and milk)... but I crave milk when pregnant, so that makes sense..

    Feeling okay. I finally broke out the snoogle, and it's really helped with hip pain. 

    Omgggg I miss alcohol this time around. 
    Red wine, sipping amaretto, beer...IPAs, Hendricks and tonic, Moscow mules...*sigh*

    @babys_2018 it was good. Heard the heart beat and scheduled the blood test for genetic abnormalities. I guess my clinic likes to do it later, around weeks. I am not worried though, I don't think we are at risk for any genetic issues. Morning sickness getting any better for you? Mine did a couple weeks ago.

    Also, I only feel what might be movement when I lay down or recline in the recliner. Feels like twitches for me. Could just be my uterus twitching I suppose lol. It's not like cramping though and only in a small area. But I am excited for the moment I am sure. I think it was about 16ish weeks with my first.

    @RachelT1234 you can get alcoholic ginger beer (yum!) But there are also non-alcoholic versions that I've had a few times. 
    I'm thinking of getting a snoogle. Hoping for some kind of black friday deal! Lol 

    @Kendrajos so exciting to hear the heartbeat :)<3
    Nausea seems to be mostly gone. I've had it 2 days out of the last 8, so that's definitely an improvement! Glad yours is gone!

    This is the ginger beer I miss. It's 4% alcohol. 

    Do you only have non-alcoholic in the US? (I'm in Canada)

    @babys_2018 we can get that drink in the US, but when people talk about “ginger beer” it means the non alcoholic version. That above is a “ginger flavored alcoholic beverage”.
