You can take me off the list.
Went for my 12 week appt. yesterday and they couldn't find a heartbeat. Ultrasound showed a blighted ovum. My intuition was right all along. This was my first loss after 2 totally normal pregnancies. Went in today and had the d&c. Feel like I should be more upset, but I'm just relieved the procedure today is over with. Just another part of the circle of life. Wishing you all many joys on your journey!
We are painting tomorrow too. We're using the Yolo paint that's supposed to be 0%voc. I hope it doesn't smell. Paint fumes bother me so much normally, I can't even imagine with this super sniffer.
I just had my first apt./pelvic exam this morning. The midwife told me I had BV. I have never had it before, that I know of. I don't really have symptoms either. I'm 8weeks tomorrow. She told me to talk to a herbalist, that there are herbs that can get rid of it. She said she doesn't prescribe the antibiotics usually. I really did not want to worry about this. Unsure of how I'll know if it's gone if I didn't know I had it. Have any of you had this? What was your...
I used to never sweat badly or be very stinky but after my second pregnancy my b.o. got soooo bad! Hormones I guess. They have stayed like that too. I have the same problem with shirts. Certain fabrics are worse than others. Apparently it's not actually the sweat but a bacteria in the sweat. Heat can set the smell. I wash my shirts on cold and hang dry. Vinegar in the rinse can help. I also have the added problem of being super sensitive to deodorant, so I usually...
Sometimes for my smoothies I'll cook a big bunch of kale and then have it in the fridge to add throughout the week.  I don't do raw dark greens.  I usually do a banana, frozen random fruit, nuts, milk, gelatin , chia seeds.  Sometimes I add: avocado, coconut oil, raw egg yolk, yogurt.  I also really like adding cinnamon to my smoothies.
I have wanted to name a girl Lily since I was a teenager. It's just so popular where I live. I might do it anyway. I also like Astrid, Hazel, Scarlet ( but that's our dogs name). I'm sure there's lots more, I just haven't thought of it too much yet. We have a Cedar and a Tobias (Toby). Boy names are really hard for us. I've been thinking of my dad's name, Fredrick (Freddy), but I don't know.
I usually get bigger, heavier, sore breasts with my normal cycle, but right away, when I was supposed to get my period they were different.  Heavier, fuller, and sore in a different way.  I'm barely 6 weeks and they feel a tad better already.  Lots of soreness on the nipples though and they are bigger/harder.  I nursed all through my last pregnancy so I can't really compare it to that.  I am enjoying them being bigger though.  I have been going w/o a bra whenever possible,...
Yep, count me in with the needing to limit my internet time/ be careful with what I read.  I am so emotional lately.  I just got done reading George Orwell's 1984.  The ending really depressed me...
Yes, I went to yoga yesterday after a 3 week break.  It felt soooo good and really helped me mellow down.
