Ok, tonight I am in a "I could eat everything in the house mood!"
How about the rest of you?

That was me this morning. I got up and told dh I was hungry for some grilled cheese. He made me ONE. Seriously.. DUDE. Eating for three here. I expect a sandwich for EACH of us. Then he asked if I wanted a banana.. Sure. If you toss in some ice cream and crushed cookies.

 

[Piecey]

Oh definitely.

I'm currently downing a huge can of Spaghettio's, already had Oreos, Girl Scout Cookies, Strawberries, Chips-&-Salsa and chocolate graham crackers today.

Hehe.

I can't get enough!!

GRILLED CHEESE? Crap!
Bananas?! Crushed cookies? Ice cream?!

DH is so going to McDonalds for a Hot Fudge Sundae later...

So far I've lost 22 pounds and counting.

Are you serious, WOW? I am down a 1/2lb since I got pregnant and I could stand to lose.

Hope your M/S ends soon. You are almost around the time it should stop.

Tonight I shared chips & dip with DS, then cooked myself two small lamb chops, I just had a clementine...but I still want something else, maybe another clementine. It is boredom because my DH is working.

Girl scout cookies... YUM. I wish I knew where we could get some.

Yep, totally serious. I was a bit fluffy to start. I could still stand to lose another 10 pounds or so. The weird thing is I don't see where the weight came from besides my thighs and butt. lol My tummy is my worst area and it's actually a bit bigger (I took my measurements right before I got preggers, so I can actually keep track).

My dr isn't worried about it, so I'm not either...yet.

The symptoms have been changing quite a bit, so hopefully I'm turning the corner.

We haven't heard from Lisa for a bit...wonder if she's doing something else?

Anyone else have a major acne breakout?! That was another joy for this week. My neck and checks are covered in little bumps.

Let's hope she is busy doing something else at the hospital and not try more home remedies to start labor!!

Acne, yup it gets me every pregnancy. Cheeks, head, back, & chest...ugh, raging hormones ...it is like being 16 again.

I agree!!

Mine actually itch. I think because it all came up so fast and they are so tiny.

I agree it is not like regular acne you get when you are not pregnant. DH yells at me all the time to stop scatching at myself...Itchy, heck yeah!

 

[Piecey]

I have a flying saucer below my lip.

I have a few bumps on my forehead.

Sorry you've got it bad, Sarah... mine comes and goes!

Sorry Staley.. no cookies. Thats a bummer.

I had to read through too many pages to get here!!!

Thanks guys! I hate to complain, but it was really, really rough. I forgot to mention I got yet another cold sore cluster (I never get just one) and an ear infection.

The ear is still really bugging me--it crackles and feels like it has water in it and generally makes me more clumsy and dizzy than normal (which is saying something!lol)
But other than that I'm doing well. I have my first baby storytime of the new session tonight, and I'm just praying my m/s leaves me alone.

I'm having this problem too and it's giving me panic attacks! I really hope you feel better soon.

Registry Question...

My mom told me to go ahead and start a registry so that people who want to mail her gifts (her sisters out of town) can in time for my shower.
I told her I was going to do Toys R Us and she said she'd like me to pick someplace a bit cheaper too. I told her my reasoning behind Toys R Us is that is where my car seat/stroller are and it's local and the 10% off anything not purchased.
She still asked me to do two because she personally hated TRU registries.

Is it not a bit tacky to have two registries? Or should I just register for the basic stuff through Wal*Mart and do the TRU registry so people buying bigger gifts (my Aunts, my mom, etc) can go together if they want and if not, I can go buy it... but put the Wal*Mart on the invitations and the TRU stuff only to those that ask her?

I don't know.. just seems a little tacky to register 2 places to me, but what do you guys think??
(Basic stuff like Johnson's gift sets, Baby First Aid kits, etc. aren't tacky to register for, right?)

Definitely register 2 places. Gives everyone a good price range!!!

Ok, you guys are all making me hungry and I barely have any room left!!!

Totally huge false alarm tonight. Very, very frustrating!!!!

I wish! I'm over the home remedies too!!!




Had my ultrasound today.....man, does he look big. All they would tell me is that my fluid was good. I go to the doctor tomorrow, so we'll see how big they think he is then.


Hey Piecey....will you make my doctor some cookies too...maybe it I beg?

 

[Disney Ron]

nothing personal Lisa but I was very disappointed to see your name pop up!

Sorry about the false alarm! How disappointing!!

I'm sorry that he's looking big.
I'm crossing my fingers Lucas stays small like his daddy was (Tom was 5lbs something, I was 9!)
But he was 11 ounces at 18 weeks so I'm thinking I'm not going to be very lucky with thehaving a small baby.


I'd definitely make you cookies but by the time they got there I think that Luca will have arrived!!

Our baby girl was 9oz at 19 week ultrasound. You have a healthy growing boy there!

Me too. It's very depressing!

He will probably be pretty big. Both of my boys were over 8 lbs. Hopefully I will find out soon!



Well ladies, I'm off to bed! Have a great night and I hope not to talk to you all again for a while!

Big babies are easier.. and not as scary. At least for me. The idea of having a baby under 8 pounds freaks me right out! But the idea of having two babies inside me that weigh 8 pounds each... Im good.

Me too. It's very depressing!

Night!

How peachy for my plan to have a natural childbirth.

(Natural meaning.. you know.. not drug free!)

 

[MelessaG]

Right now:

I am simultaneously hungry and nauseous (but NO headache today, yay me!)

I have a zit with a zit on it on my chin.

I think I may have to pee...again...but I just went 30 minutes ago.

More than eating, peeing, or puking; I really just want to go to bed right now but DH got mandatoried to the night shift at work and, even though I sent them to bed an hour ago, I still hear children upstairs who are clearly not sleeping yet.

Think I might be pregnant?

 

[Laura]

Oh, the zits. Ugh. I would get up in the morning, do my face, cover what needed covering, etc. In the middle of the day, I'd use the ladies' room, go wash my hands, look in the mirror and BLEAH--new zits! It was like middle school all over again. They went away, though.
