I made it to twelve weeks!  I think the first trimester is the hardest-it goes by SOOOO SLOW!  I am looking forward to the second trimester-by far the best part of pregnancy.    

 SYMPTOMS UPDATE: (What symptoms do you have?  What are your cravings? )

Nausea.....gone!

Tiredness....gone!  (Now, I lay in bed at night wide awake worrying about everything under the sun!  I have insomnia and DH is too tired to talk or get kinky[:'(]!)

Cravings.....tomato soup, pickles, black olives, strip steak and watermelon

HOW IS EVERYONE ELSE DOING? 

Just in the 2nd Trimester now!!  Really relieved.

Nausea almost gone, evenings it can sometimes be there.  Still can't cope with smells from the dishwasher or bin 9 or my DH breath when he's had a beer!!)

Tiredness - thankfully I haven't had real tiredness this time. If I slept in the day I couldn't sleep at night.  DH does have enough energy to get down to it though, and I am really off it, big time.  I wasn't off it at all really with the girls.

Cravings - orange juice with 50% water added, fresh podded peas(by the kilo!!), fudge and my new one cold minced beef and onion pie with salt and vinegar crisps!! Even I find that one strange  haven't had a meat pie for 10 years, had three in 5 days!!

Now I can stomach hearing about food I will await further replies to this post!!  Can't wait to have a laugh.

Meat pie sounds good!  I loved oj with my past pregnancies, but can't stomach grapefruit, or orange juice.  Weird.

Tonight I made sour cream cucumbers.  Grandma's recipe: cucumbers, vinegar, sour cream, onions, sugar, and salt.  I ate the whole thing!  Normally it's supposed to sit for 24 hours-it didn't make it past 4. 

I ate alot of meat pies when i was pregnant with my boys, I couldnt get enough of them! This could be a good sign for you ladies wanting boys

I hope so.  It's funny - they have to be minced beef and onion, steak pieces just won't do! Any suggestion of a good quality pie turns my stomach - only the trashiest will do!!

I might have to go and buy more today, I am already wanting the one in the fridge so bad and it's not even 10am yet!!

My friend had a craving for mini savoury eggs and pasties when she was carrying her boy!  Hoping there is a lnk.

With my girls it was satsumas and also branflakes with lots of milk and sugar

 hi all!  back from another vacation-went to western MD & stayed w/ my parents, 2 DS, & puppy (lots of work!) for almost 10 days at my grandparents' cottage.  very tiring but good to be w/ my parents (they live about 7 hrs away)

i'm hitting 14 wks tomorrow & feel overall better.  

nausea...still at times.  very frustrating.  i don't know if it's nausea exactly or indigestion.  i just get horrible tastes in my mouth after eating still.  immediately need to brush teeth.  and still can't stand the thought of certain foods, mostly fruits & veggies.  

tiredness...better.  i think i've just had too much vacation-i need a vacation away all by myself!

cravings...chocolate, chocolate, & more chocolate!  anything-brownies esp. & had this delicious ice cream called double fudge brownie.  also, Hershey's Dark Chocolate minis are to die for!!  and American cheese, esp. in scrambled eggs.  and pizza.  so diff. than w/ 2 DS-i devoured fruits & veggies w/ them.  also milk-now, can't even think of drinking.  also, sweets have to have chocolate in them or they don't taste right.  

i just can't believe all of this is still going on.  w/ DS1, nothing the whole time.  w/ DS2, very slight nausea but ended at about 10 wks.   

So i am 14 weeks. Can not believe i am. It does seem like it, went by very very slow. I am hoping that it starts to go by faster. The nausea is getting better. I still have good days and bad days and most the time still taking my anti-nausea medication so i can function. So the sickness might actually be worse than i think it is:) The tiredness is getting better but i still have to take an occasional nap during the day. It's really weird i didn't have cravings with my first 2 and for the most part i could eat whatever. Will this time around is different. I do not want anything to do with meat (which i normally love). I love fruit and veggies right now which is weird. And i always have to have my pink lemonade. Oh it is so good!! I couldn't do chocolate at the beginning and it's starting to become more of a craving now. I also get the really bad taste in my mouth after i eat. How weird is that?!?! So i can see things getting a little better and hope that it just keeps getting better everyday:)

i am 15 weeks and feeling great! Tiredness gone and i can actually stay up past 7pm at night LOL!

Cravings: Chocolate and meat and salty foods!!!! Funny as i don't usualy eat much of these! 

Keep up the good brooding girls!
