Isabellasmommy - at least you are craving healthy stuff!! LOL... I say go for it! My baby does not seem to like sweets very much, which works in my favour. However, I seem to be craving salty stuff, so I have to be careful not to devour a bag of chips in a sinlge sittling. Other than that... hmmm... some fruit, banana milkshakes, and artichokes (which sucks since they are out of season and I cant find the fresh ones ANYWHERE!)... This morning I was laying on my back in bed trying to wake up. My hand was on my tummy and I actually felt the baby kick from the outside! Was great, since I told you I barely feel him/her on the inside yet. Hopefully, I will start to feel it more often, since it is such a rea__surance. 9 days and counting til the ultrasound!! Yippee!! :)

Ohh, I'm craving salty foods as well....but I am drinking tons of water while eating those foods. I felt bad that one night, I ate an entire can of pringles by myself and my boyfriend asked me what happened to them and I just looked down and grinned. I have to have salt on some of my raw veggies too. I'm glad that you got to feel the baby this morning!!! I can't wait to really feel mine kick hard.

Just soooo tired today. I am starting to have a real hard time getting comfy at night... sigh... slept through my shower this morning too... lol. I have a question. Is everyone still having tender bb's?? My nipples have been sore from the beginning of the pregnancy, and it hasn't subsided yet. I remember that with previous pg, they felt better after the first trimester was done. Its just gettin annoyingly painful!

You aren't the only one...mine are still sore. Not all of the time, but most of the time. It's annoying...majorly annoying. Anybody else extremely emotional? I know that every pregnant woman is, but I mean....more than usual? I cry over everything, no matter what it is. It's to the point that my boyfriend and I argue every other day it seems...because he'll say something and I'll take it the wrong way or I'll say something and he takes it the wrong way.

Mine are still sore, but off and on. It seems to come and go. I crave lots, fresh fruits, veggies,sweets and salt. Yeah probably not good. I have been feeling the little guy flutter around, no significant kick, and nothing from the outside, but soon enough hopefully, I want my husband to share in the miracle. 21 weeks and 1 day!!!

My bbs are pretty good... just a touch tender at the outside edges and my nips are just sensitive, not really sore. I have been feeling the "probably, almost positively baby" movements more lately. i think the baby kicked my dog the other night! :) My dog was sitting on the bed next to me then leaned on my stomach and I felt three quick little kicks right where the dog was! It was neat! I also felt one time a wierd sensation like the baby flipping over, sort of a slippery rolling movement. Very excited for my u/s Thursday!!! I go in a 8:00am so like one more full day to go!!! I hear salty cravings means it's a boy? those old wives :) I have def. been craving salty stuff all along. I once drank dill pickle juice right out of the jar! couldn't get enough. Also, salt and vinegar potato chips! fresh fruits and veggies have been high on my list too.

I have a week until my U/S and I can't wait. I have noticed that I've been calling the baby 'him' or 'my little man' and I didn't realize that I was doing it until today. I did hear that if you crave salty foods, it's a boy. Makes me curious because they say if you crave sweets, it's a girl. Well, with my daughter, I craved sour foods...lemons and extremely sour lemonade. This pregnant it's a little of everything, but the salty foods do take the top. When I told my doc, she told me to just make sure that I drink extra water when eating the salty foods. Andesue, you sound like me...lol I ate an entire jar of pickles (the spears) at one time and that wasnt enough, so I drank the juice. I started having crazy dreams a few nights ago, dreams that aren't just crazy, they scare me. The first one some woman said she was going to take my baby and I thought she meant the one I'm pregnant with but it turns out that she actually took my 3 year old little girl instead and we couldn't find her anywhere. I cried so hard after that one. Then last night I had a dream where I went to a friends house for a small party they were having and didn't even have my purse with me, but somehow it ended up being there and somebody had put it in my car but had taken like 6 blank checks and I didn't realize it at the time, but when I started getting phone calls from my bank, I looked into it and they had wrote checks totalling over $300,000!!!!!! I woke up and instantly checked my purse and check book. I'm afraid to see what I'll dream tonight.

I think the emotional thing can't be helped. My hubby laughs and jokes because I can cry for a toilet paper commercial! I do get wound up faster though too... especially if I am tired. I am sure your BF understands that you are hormonal. Just make sure that you let him know its all part of the process. As for wierd dreams... I have been having a tonne of them too. In my most recent one, I think I was having my u/s done. But instead of the paddle thing they use, it was a video camera. The picture on the screen looked like live footage as well. So I am looking and can see the baby... all small and scrwny, moving around in my belly. All of a sudden I notice that the baby is wearing pink clothing (in utero!). It was a little disturbing and strange to see! LOL..

I'm tired of the crazy dreams!!!! But I'm even more tired of my nose. LOL All day I've been having problems with my sinuses...I've been so stuffed up and it's giving me a headache. Other than that, I feel fine, no fever or upset stomach, just stuffed up. Anybody else?

Count me in with that! Stuffy nose is one of my big preggo symptoms. It actually makes me nauseous when I get too stuffy. It also gives me headaches... which again makes me naseous! See the pattern?? LOL... its a small wonder that I am still suffering from morning sickness! LOL... Can you believe we will be at the half way mark next week??? Yipeee! I think my next milesone is the 24 week mark when they say that baby has a fighting chance to survive if its born. Sounds morbid, but when I was preg with my son, I had awful bleeding around this time, and they thought for sure that I would m/c. I kept counting the days til I hit that 24 week mark.

So I woke up this morning and my stuffy nose and headache now includes a sore throat and my ears are hurting. I feel miserable. I'm not sure if it's a cold, allergies, or just a pregnancy thing. I'm so afraid to take anything (even on the approved medicine list) because I'm afraid of having another m/c.

babyblue & isabellasmommy - how far are both of you?? I am almost 22 weeks now & from about 6 weeks up until about a week ago i could NOT breathe i was stuck on afrin no matter how hard i tried to avoid it and i can FINALLY breathe again almost overnight my nose cleared up. my sense of smell is still a little off but at least i can breathe!! so ladies there IS hope .. i know everyone is different BUT you might be lucky like me :)

I'm 18 weeks and 1 day. Not feeling that great today, just want to sleep. I've tried taking it easy all day, just relaxing in bed right now. Can't wait till my daughter goes to bed so that I can take a warm shower with one of those shower soothers that I got today. I did get some medicine, but not sure about taking it. I did take some Tylenol cold since it was on my list of approved medicine. I'm not sure if it's allergies, a cold, normal stuffiness from pregnancy or if it's because I went to my moms yesterday and she has different air fresheners than we use (they were really strong).

my doctor says coracedin HBP helps with nasal congestion

Ok, I just read over my last post...I didn't take Tylenol Cold, I took Tylenol Sinus...there's not much of a difference, but it just proves that my mind is gone. LOL I'm hoping this goes away soon, I got b___hy with everybody earlier. I don't want to be around anybody when I'm sick, add that to the pregnancy hormones and it's a million times worse.

id keep the faith girl! lol i thought i would be stuffy until i finally give birth but it cleared up last week & ive felt great since! im just PRAYING it doesnt come back now lol
