@mrs. 64: I can make you feel SO much better... .last night we were making homemade cookies and I ate the dough not even thinking. My husband looked at me and said "aren't you not supposed to eat raw eggs or something?" WHOOPS.

@mrs. 64: the only thing I stay away from is raw fish and alcohol in the first trimester.
I actually took a sip or two of beer last week - SO was drinking one and I was thirsty ....... SO looked at me and went "um.....??" WOOPS. I felt SO bad. tooootally didn't think about it. >_<

@mrs. 64: I was very conservative with the "no list" with M and plan to do the same with this one. I did have a cold cut sandwich last week but it was a OOPS! The ILS invited us over for dinner last night; roast beef sandwiches and chicken noodle soup. I just declined the rb sandwiches.

I'm crazy and will abstain from raw fish, raw eggs, not well done meats, cold cuts, soft serve ice cream, alcohol, full caff coffee (only one cup of caffeinated tea a day). It's a pain for the 9 months but totally worth it for my piece of mind.

@mrs. 64: I'm not being crazy about it - i had a sub a week ago because i actually forgot i wasn't supposed to eat it but i didn't have a panic attack or anything. To be honest, nothing much sounds too good to me right now so i'm not having a problem avoiding some things, but i've also had eggs over easy. I've definitely cut back on caffeine, drinking green tea instead of coffee and obviously no alcohol or raw fish but i'm not being too overly crazy about it. I just can't take the stress.

Hi August Mamas! I am due August 6th! Trying to combat morning sickness and fatigue and really just lack of wanting to do anything! Oh and I can't stand the site of vegetables... I used to be a healthy eater... Congratulations to everyone!

@T.H.O.U.: Yeaaa!! I am so glad to hear this. I have been struggling through these past few weeks, and we wanted to tell our families before announcing elsewhere. I'm so glad that there are some other 6+ monthers on here with me! Congrats everyone!

@locavore_mama: Same here! Congratulations!! This is great news!

@Mrs.Someone: Congratulations!!!

@Claire.Peonies: Yayyyy!! I was wondering about you and hoping that you would end up here!!! Sorry you aren't feeling well.

Had my first appt today and she's going to get me booked in for an ultrasound in the next couple weeks.

I've got nausea most of the day but snacking every couple hours seems to help the most. Haven't thrown up yet so hopefully that continues.

@Claire.Peonies: yayyyy so happy to see you here! i feel so comfy and nice on this board to see so many familiar names from the 6+ thread!!! sorry you aren't feeling well - i totally feel ya! I am usually a pretty healthy eater and i have been eating like crap because i am just eating whatever doesn't make my stomach turn. for example, tonight's dinner was a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch cereal. Hope this passes for the both of us!

I threw up tonight. yay......

@Claire.Peonies: oh. My. GOODNESS!!! I seeing you here!!! Congratulations, lady! And August 6 is a great day to be born...I may be partial

August is quickly becoming my second favorite due date month here-SO excited for all you ladies!

@chibee: Yay for a conclusive pregnancy symptom!!!

@Claire.Peonies: congrats and welcome!!

@xInfinity: hope your u/s is soon! i'm getting antsy now that its next wed! and hope the nausea goes away.

looks like next week will be a busy one as far as first appts/us! i'm definitely getting more anxious the closer it gets. i don't have many symptoms at all besides spotting/bleeding and occasional nausea. it was similar to my first so i'm hoping that this is all normal. can't wait for next wed!!

#2 mommas: are you showing yet? DH swears I am and I think my hips have widen and I busted out my bella band today! LOL

congrats to all the new mamas that have joined in the past couple weeks! i totally dropped off while on vacation and just catching back up.

@locavore_mama: I totally busted out the rubber band for my pants this week! need to find the belly band over the weekend.... only 2 people know at work and I feel like my weight gain is going to become pretty obvious very quickly!

@locavore_mama: nope! Thank goodness for extra fluff. Last time I didn't Show until he dropped around 35 (?) weeks. (I have a lot of extra fluff, mmmkay?)

@mrs. 64: yep! i did it with my first and vowed to not slack for the second (being a middle child and all.. :-)). i'll prob start at 9 weeks if all goes well next week. last time i wore the same thing... i think i'll probably wear the same thing this time around, just gotta figure out what. i'll probably either do it in my bedroom or the future nursery. the wall color is the same so it won't make much of a diff

@Mrs.Someone: I hear ya. I decided I needed a shot of what I look like before I start to show. Unfortunately I already look like I have a bump and it's definitely not baby! I decided to suck it in a bit for the pic. I probably won't do another one for a few weeks, but I feel like I will show early since I already have pudge.

@kodybear: So far I'm going with black shirt in front of the shower curtain. Our "nursery" is a junk room right now and I couldn't find anywhere else in the house that had enough lighting to serve as a good backdrop.

@Apples4Teacher: congrats and welcome!
