Hellobee Boards

@delight: @LatteLove: thank you! Yes, such a relief! I had no reasons to think anything was wrong, but I'm a worry wort, so I feel soooooo much better!

@LAZB: congrats!!!

@littlebear16: yes it is, thank you! I am a huuuuge ball of anxiety right now. Trying to have positive thoughts. I've had a lot of problems with my health so it's hard to imagine getting good news. I am due for some though so I'm crossing my fingers this is it!

@Plainpistachio: I think you get points for the salad! I can't look at most foods. I'm just eating toast, cereal, and some fast food for lunch because I can't cook (I want to puke the whole time I am cooking).
@Mrs. Sunshine: so sorry for your loss
@LAZB: glad everything went well!!

Is anyone else struggling with what to eat? I really hate eating fast food so much but I don't know what else to do for lunch. I had subway this week and a chicken sandwich and an arby's sandwich. I just can't cook at night, it's making me so sick to try. Which is a problem because I have 2 adults and a toddler that need to eat. And I always have eaten leftovers for lunch at work. I'm thinking the next few months I can do some things that don't take much time like bbq chicken, crockpot soup, etc.
But I still don't know what to eat myself I guess I can buy some Amy's frozen entrees and at least those are healthier than fast food! My problem is that while cooking it makes me so sick that I just cannot eat the food. Not that night or any of the leftovers!! So I make it for others while trying not to puke and then I never eat any of it. So I have no food for me to eat except toast and cereal and oatmeal lol.

@lazb congrats! Such a pretty bean.
@kes18 No nausea yet for me, but I do have extreme food aversions. Right now chicken is my enemy. But once I get into my head what I want, it's the only thing I want. Luckily I've never been the cook. My husband has always been the cook since our first date 7 years ago. The kitchen and fridge grosses me out majorly right now. I was in there the morning and the trash stunk so bad. My husband ran it outside for me lol.

@littlebear16: That is nice he can prepare it! I did have my DH make burgers but ugh the onion smell...I had to go outside to get away from it (I was making caramelized onions to go on top)
@Plainpistachio: yeah, I feel you! I think mine is a very strong aversion to smells. It causes nausea and I also have it anyway. So cooking doesn't work too well with that I'm glad your husband is the cook! I wish that were the case with my DH! But I might give up and let him make spaghetti every week now.
@delight: at least I don't feel as bad now that I'm not the only one who doesn't know what to eat for lunch except fast food! I have my sights set on a cantina power burrito from taco bell for lunch. At least today I am craving something lighter and this has romaine in it. Romaine is healthy right?! My nausea is very bad in the morning so the thought of picking something out for lunch is something I cannot do. My DD and DH had frozen pizza one night and last night I gave her meatballs (the frozen kind) and hummus and blackberries. Reasonable I think!

Hope the NIPT goes well! I am planning on getting it but my appointment is not until 4/28. so it is a long wait!

@Lazb: Congratulations on your beautiful scan. I am loving seeing all these babies! You must be thrilled
@Goldengirl: Sending you ALL the luck for today girl!
@Delight: Happy weekiversary! Thursdays are our "moving on to the next week" days too

I'm having some major issues eating, but all of a sudden a good burger really appealed to me, so I'm sitting outside on this beautiful day enjoying one for lunch before I go to my next meeting. Hopefully it sits well with me after I eat it.

@LAZB: I'm having a difficult time making my lunch right now. Those fries look amazing, though! I'm also jealous of your weather.

@littlebear16: they are really good fries, I'm just making sure I don't eat too much, that's a sure fire way for me to get sick

@kes18: I thought it was more too, but that's what my doctor's office told me yesterday

Congrats November Moms!
Location: Chicago Illinois

EDD: 11/6

How far along: 9.5 weeks

First child? No. My first child is 13 months old! His name is Gershom.

First doctor appointment: 4/19.

Any symptoms so far? So nauseous. I never felt like this with my first. UGH. Its awful. And I am showing ALREADY!

Who have you told? My parents, siblings, MIL, FIL, SIL and BIL.

Welcome @daniellealys:! Aaaand.....totally going to get a burger for lunch now. Thanks a lot @lazb:

@CedarMagnolia: @narwhal: happy Thursday!! Love seeing the new fruit each week in the What to Expect app. Haha.
@daniellealys: welcome to our group!! Sorry you feel awful. It's hard with a toddler too! No time for rest! I'll add you to our list tonight!
@kes18: "thousands" sounds a bit rediculous! I know if mine wasn't covered it would cost 800$.
@LAZB: we had very similar lunches today! Unfortunately I was sitting in my car looking at melting piles of snow. I'm jealous you can eat outside!
@kes18: romaine is totally healthy I can't remember if you said already... Did your nausea last a long time before? Mine has Always lasted until 16w. That seems so far away!
@rara0614: I find most family doctors don't even know much about NIPT. I see a genetic counsellor who is On top of things. I was telling my family doc this week about how I was getting the NIPT done and I had to explain it alllllllll to him. He was baffled that I could have a blood test done that showed the gender and genetic composition of the baby. I admit it is a little sci-fi. Hopefully your doc figures out all the codes and you can get it done.

@delight: Thank you!! congrats to you as well. This will pass, I am sure. I haven't had any rest since having Gershom LOL We both have colds right now so complete exhaustion is in full force...

@delight: My MS last time was from about 8-16weeks. This time it started at 6weeks. This feels worse than last time but maybe I'm just not remembering it well Last time I definitely threw up and I haven't thrown up yet but I don't remember having these awful reactions to smells like I do now. I remember I didn't have a problem cooking as long as it was something I wanted to eat! Not now. At least I had cravings last time. I have no cravings yet (well I did before the MS started but none since).

It sucks I'm wondering if I'll just end up with the NT scan instead. I'm just going to bring the paperwork to my OB and see if it sounds like it is/is not covered to them.

@daniellealys: welcome!

Hey @daniellealys: that's a lovely unusual name you gave your child! How did you come up with it? And do you have any ideas for the next little one?

PS sorry if I clutter up the board with lots of posts right now, but I hate peas and love coffee beans

@CedarMagnolia: Isn't it incredible, I have literally read my thoughts written by someone else on these boards. And you just reminded me I haven't had my coffee for the day. Yay coffee.

I just got great news! My due date is October 23 now instead of what I guessed at Nov 5. The baby has little arms and legs and wiggled around like crazy.
@LAZB: that looks delicious. I'm not a big meat eater usually but hamburgers taste amazing right now.
