I was enjoying the dreams at first, too, but they have been growing more negative. Though I had a really vivid one about looking for apartments and touring one where we used to live. It was ridiculously opulent -- marble floors, waterfall features, things we would never own even with buttloads of money. But for some reason we had to sell it, and were living in this horrible dump. I can see them both clearly now. I just hope they are less dark in the future, and just...
You know, I couldn't ever get the hang of the neti pot. But right near it at Walgreens is a little squeezy bottle sinus wash -- same idea, different mechanism for getting the saline stuff into your sinuses. So if you are neti-pot impaired like me, that's an option too.
I haven't made up my mind yet regarding hypnobabies, though all the good stories on MDC are reassuring. However, in the interest of doing my homework, I'm curious about what else people have used and enjoyed. My midwife mentioned the Bradley method, but I am generally uninformed on the range of natural birth options. Anyone BTDT?
I am with you on this. Every day is a new gastronomic phenomenon. Will it be nausea, cravings, or both? Yesterday I was starving, ordered some burritos and got...well something I wasn't expecting on my plate. Could barely look at it, let alone eat it.   Thanks to everyone for the skin and clothing advice. I noticed honey came up a few times when I searched MDC archives. I would never have guessed! Sounds like something that would clog the pores. Do you just use a little...
I think there is room at MDC for anti- and pro-vaxing. I believe that educated and well-meaning people can arrive at either conclusion. I got the flu shot. Wasn't fun, but as a public school teacher there is no way I will risk getting the flu. You have to look at it as a decision of weighing risks. The risk of the shot to me seemed much smaller than the risk of getting sick. The last time I got the flu, it evolved into pneumonia, which would involve a lot of decisions...
  Name: Jamie Weeks/Days along: 9 weeks to the day Appointments: Had my first ultrasound on Friday. Guess who was right about the conception date? Not fertilityfriend -- me! Tee hee. There was only a day of difference. Saw the heartbeat. See the midwives again in 4 weeks. Symptoms: nausea, food seems yucky. tired. boobs from hell. bump or bloat? who's to say? Food: uuuuuuhhhllll....yuck Exercise: I'm supposed to go to the gym tomorrow. we'll see...
I'm also curious, but scared off by the price tag. I know it's well worth the money if it works, but I don't want to shell out a couple hundred if it isn't for me. :/
What a relief! We are 8 weeks, 4 days, due 5/7/11. Heartbeat is 170. Baby is 2cm long.    
I feel you on the rage. I really have to keep it in check at work (I'm a teacher) but some of my darlings make it quite a challenge! I keep finding myself saying things like, "Does Mrs. ___ like to repeat the directions fifteen times?!" and all the kids groan "Nooooo." 
I used to work at a dentist's office, and the doctor always referred to it as pregnancy gingivitis. Not sure exactly what causes it, but it's pretty common.
