Weight loss/gain?
Cravings/Aversions?
What do you miss?
Any Dr. Appts this week?

Re: Pregnant Mama's Check-in!
I am confused. You can't have hot dogs when you are pregnant??????

Nope, you should stay away from processed meats (like cold cuts too I think)...and certain cheeses that are unpasteurized....it's tough!
They might be contaminated with listeria bacteria which is very bad for pregnant women. Now its unlikely because its just less common then it used to be but its still a real possibility. However the amount of salt and nitrates in them aren't great for you generally so they want you to avoid them when pregnant as well.

Yup, this is what I was going to say. I generally hear the nitrates warning, but processed meats are always at risk for contamination.
How are you feeling? Kind of bleh... nausea off and on and tired. I permanently feel like I'm coming down with the flu. I haven't actually gotten to the point yet where I felt like throwing up, so I'm thankful for that. I'm also getting winded really easily - like I just got out of breath from walking to our cafeteria.
Weight loss/gain? I haven't weighed myself in about a week, but at that point I was down a couple pounds. I look like I've put on weight though thanks to baby bloat.
Cravings/Aversions? Nothing specific, but in general I have no appetite. I've had to force myself to try to eat 3 decent meals a day.
What do you miss? Red wine!
Any Dr. Appts this week? I have my third u/s and more bloodwork tomorrow - my RE's office does it weekly. I saw the heartbeat last week, and this week they'll be measuring it. If all goes well I should be released to my OB next week and I'm looking forward to having an appointment with him.
How's DH doing? He's been sweet, running out to get me ginger ale and stuff. At first he didn't seem that excited about the baby but as time goes by he's been referring to him (we both think it's a boy) more and more. He also all of a sudden starting noticing and commenting on cute babies when we're out and about, which he never used to do... that's pretty cute.
Yay! Graduating from your RE will be such a big step, I bet you're so excited!
How are you feeling? So freaking tired!!! But that's it so far!
Weight loss/gain? Nope
Cravings/Aversions? I do find myself gravitating towards more sweets but I'm def not craving them yet!
What do you miss? Freaking beer and brownies! (hehe again you can have chocolate just not the OTHER ingredient I like to add...)
Any Dr. Appts this week? Nope - not until Sept 20th (same day as my Rock the Dress session! lol a year and a half later but who cares!)
How's DH doing? Hahaha - we went with friends to Babies R Us yesterday to help them get crib and such and DH was totally deer in headlights! Plus they don't know so it was a lot of sideways glances! He's totally like WTF they get their own store?!?! oh this is going to be a fun ride! lol
9 Glorious Months!
My Photography Blog!
I have eaten TONS of hotdogs while pregnant (had 3 last night lol) I have also had cold cut subs, tuna salad, sushi, coffee and soft cheeses. I am totally okay.. well as far as food related issues go lol. I say try to enjoy foods you love and if you are craving something go ahead and have it. I have also eaten ceasar salads a couple times and have been fine
OMG he has NO idea how much gear and junk babies require does he?!?!? The infiltration of baby gear in your house is going to totally freak him out! Also so fun that only the two of you knew fun secret!
Im not in the early stages anymore but figured I would chime in since I'm so bored lol.
How are you feeling? Tired, bored, anxious and so ready to get off bedrest!Weight loss/gain? LOTS of gaining lol.. I plan on starting weight watchers after I have the LOCravings/Aversions? Anything sweet.. I have been reading about the pumpkin spice lattes on FB and I want one SO bad but cant have one until after I have the babyHow's DH doing? Poor guy is exhausted. He has been super busy at work and he comes by every evening and sees me and also stays with me on the weekends. Sunday afternoon I made him go home and told him to spend some time at home on labor day to unwind and relax some. I saw him for a little bit yesterday and he seemed to look a lot less worn out.
Oh believe me, I've had my fair share of cold cuts, Dr. Peppers and ceasar salads. I actually forgot to ask my OB about brats, because I would almost rather eat those than hot dogs.
You poor thing! I feel so bad that you are stuck in the hospital! Do you have any idea when they will induce or do a c-section?
