@Applesandbananas: can you take a nap? I find 10 minutes is a huge help.

@tlcbaby: Thanks! Since I started taking 1/2 a unisom at night I am so much better. Still nauseous a lot, especially in the afternoon and evening but it is manageable and I can eat now. Maybe it would help you too? I also take 25mg of b6 3 times a day.

@avivoca: I am also worried about my clothes not fitting. My friend is using all my maternity clothes now so the belly is just not allowed to grow yet. Yeah right!

@Applesandbananas: Oh my gosh, that sounds TERRIBLE! What kind of person does that? Our teachers always deal with the poop messes. It's so nice.

I ran 4 miles this morning with my training group. @tlcbaby, do you have any tips for properly fueling? I had to stop and walk at 2 miles and force down a gel before I lost my breakfast.

Also, someone ate fish in the lunch room yesterday. It smelled awful!

@avivoca: That fish graphic is hilarious! The biggest thing for me is just having food and water ready to go. I've definitely stopped in the middle of a workout for a snack. It's harder when you run because you can't carry much with you, but a gel or a bar before you feel too hungry is a good plan. I have totally fallen off my running plan since I found out I was pregnant. Four miles is great!

@Applesandbananas: I ate jerky and rice for lunch. My food has been so random. My clothes already don't fit, but really just because I am so freaking bloated. I am already on the hunt for under the belly pants and shorts for our vacation next week.

@Applesandbananas: I feel like my belly is just fat flabby and gross and I think a little bump is starting but my clothes still fit so who knows. I am living on ginger ale and Mac n cheese the past couple days. Super healthy.

@avivoca: Funny you had fish after your experience at work! We went out for lunch and ugh the smell whenever they cooked fish!

@skipra: my first is Friday!! I cannot wait!

@avivoca: oh I totally agree about microwave fish! And sardines? Ewww! I can't stomach the thought or smell of any fish at this point never mind that!

@Applesandbananas: yay! So exciting!

My appointment isn't until March 8

I have an ultrasound on the 5th. I nearly forgot about it. DH is going to be out of town next week and I was thinking of heading to my parents. A week of solo parenting does not sound like fun. But that would mean moving my appointment and some meetings at work and changing a flight. So it looks like i'll be toughing it out.

I have days that feel a little bit better, if I can stay on top of eating enough it's ok. It's hard because I dont feel hungry and I have NO appetite. With LO1 I just lay around all summer feeling sorry for myself. Thats not really an option this time. 11 month olds are busy guys.....

I keep praying for symptoms because I feel pretty decent most of the time, minus the wicked backache I've been having off and on...then I got a whif of the eggs my husband made and was assured that I am indeed pregnant. Ugh! No more fried eggs for this lady.

ETA: My husband keeps saying that it's too early for me to be feeling sick, but I think he forgets that I had 0 morning sickness last time and only felt mildly nauseated on my evening commute.

@maddyz: Omg popsicles. You speak my language. I forgot I also had three of the no sugar added kind yesterday (lest you think I'm a total cow).

@MrsKoala: That is great!

My appointment isn't until the 18th, but I really wanted to be sure everything is okay before our trip next week and we want to be able to tell my in-laws so I am having an early ultrasound next Monday afternoon. I wasn't sure at first about having an extra ultrasound, but I had two last time so it really won't be any different I guess.

@MrsKoala: I somehow missed this earlier! That's wonderful news!

Well now I want scrambled eggs...... and I'm gonna go find some!

@tlcbaby: an early u/s through your dr or through an elective place?

@tlcbaby: Does that mean you will get the u/s next week and then around 20 weeks?

Is anyone else planning to do genetic testing or the NT scan or Panorama type blood work? I am forgetting what all the options are.

@skipra: Yep! I didn't do any of the genetic testing or other stuff last time and I doubt I will this time unless they think for some reason there is some big need for it.

@skipra: We won't be doing the genetic testing this time either.

I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed pelvic changes....I don know how to explain it....I kinda walk funny now and it feels like I've ridden a horse. This is my first pregnancy but I was pretty sure pregnant women only started walking funny in the third trimester..... should I be worried?

@skipra: I took unisom and B6 until around 24 weeks last time. I started to feel better around 20 weeks and so I tested it a couple times where I wouldn't take it one day and see how I felt. A couple times I felt slightly sick so I kept on going. This time I was taking it until my friend gave me some samples of Diclegis (basically the same as Unisom and B6). I've tried that for the past three days but I can't say that I feel much better taking that over the Unisom so I may switch back once I finish the sample pack. I'm 24/7 grossly nauseous and averse to most foods. I haven't thrown up yet but I'm the type of person that will do anything not to throw up and I was like that last time, too.
