Part 3: Due January, February and March 2019

Gafan wonderful!!!!! So is it the NIPT you are doing? Will you find out gender? So glad there’s a growing little bean in there! I know you were nervous about that first scan.

Surrounded - wow, your DH has put you through a lot as well. Has he come around more now about Oops? I’m sure he’ll be crazy over him when he arrives!! I’m sorry for what you went through as a teenager - that’s really hard. But I’m quite sure your boys’ issues are not karma! I know we only know them through pictures but they are SO cute!!!

I just want to say ladies... you girls dealing with this husband crap... you all are tough as nails!!! I can’t imagine dealing with that kind of insensitivity and lack of support especially during pregnancy!!! My DH is certainly not perfect but I’m thankful he’s supportive and certainly patient, as I make a pretty crazy pregnant woman!! I admire you all though in having to deal with all this and your continued positivity and strength. I hope all of these guys get their heads out of their you know whats soon and start acting right!!!

Ehhhhhhhh... not really ABC. He said the day of my scan "If its a girl I think things will change." and as you know, its not and things havent really changed. A little better I guess, no more threats to leave or anything. But that hit me right in the GD as well, because he wanted a girl too.

Hey ladies, I'd like to share with those who need it a blog I came across a couple days back which I've spent a LOT of time reading since then and recognizing a lot of my marriage issues there. There are 16 of these different types of coercive control tactics and I really urge you to read through all of them, not only the ones you think will apply. I started off thinking "well he doesn't do that thing, or that thing" but then I read them and was like OMG he does all the things. :/ The first one is here, the subsequent ones are linked at the end of every essay. https://speakoutloud.net/intimate-pa...ed-power-games

Ugh. Well that’s annoying! You already have GD so I’m sure him saying that doesn’t help!!

I am going to get CVS. I think I will find out the gender. Part of me wants to be on team green, but I also really want to know.

Thanks for this link atomic, I have read the first one and will work my way through the others when I get time, going to open my eyes to a lot that I try to pretend doesn't happen in my relationship but I know knowledge and facing up to reality ultimately leads to the power to face and possibly change things even if that means facing the reality that I need to do this parenting journey alone.

Are you ladies having any cravings yet? Mine have hit this last week and I just want fruit, yogurt, granola, and today I even had orange juice (I will usually pass on this ).also, salads. Coffee has started making me nauseous; smell and drinking, meat is out most of the time, and I don't like chocolate (so sad [emoji53])

This whole pregnancy I’ve craved salads and fruit. I ate a ton of pastries in an attempt to curb nausea, but still enjoy them now (always have LOL) I went vegetarian for my sway and recently introduced a bit back into my diet but haven’t enjoyed it and will probably just stop eating meat again. Ohhhh I love chocolate and definitely haven’t cut back on it :)

Oh I did go through a yogurt phase as well ;)

Also have wanted citrus fruits. I've never had any-crazy I need to eat that now! Cravings with any of my pregnancies. But have wanted that more than usual. Also wouldn't say I'm off chocolate. I'll definitely eat it if its in front of me. But dont necessarily feel like it as much as usual. Was also very much of any meat in the first trimester.
