As Texans are proud to remind us all, they were their own country for a while :). And I was in love with saltines and goldfish crackers during my first tri. I did my best to get some good protein and veggies in when the nausea was a little less bad, but really, the most important thing is that you keep food in your stomach. And many women lose weight during the first few months, often because they're vomiting so much! Enjoy the jury duty, and I can't wait to hear the ultrasound results!Ceejayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06084169397555487550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-22979530392935867812011-03-23T09:54:26.080-05:002011-03-23T09:54:26.080-05:00i hope that trial is over this afternoon, ultrasou...i hope that trial is over this afternoon, ultrasound tomorrow morning! <br /><br />i am with bunny- love the saltines. i wasn't very sick in the first tri, but when i did feel funky, they were great to have stashed in my purse.marehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076679068263782380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-13167010433461701742011-03-23T08:54:54.887-05:002011-03-23T08:54:54.887-05:00I gotta say, I am pretty much in love with saltine...I gotta say, I am pretty much in love with saltines.

Ah, well :). <br /><br />I obviously speak from exactly no experience at all, but as long as you're eating what you can keep down, that sounds sensible. Isn't it true that pregnant women crave foods that contain nutrients in which they are deficient? Your body would take care of it for you, I bet. (Or maybe you could take a multivitamin just in case? Then you would know you were getting all your vitamins and minerals.)the misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206278843624907697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-61063911127982515642011-03-22T15:01:35.984-05:002011-03-22T15:01:35.984-05:00I've always been a jury duty reject. :( I h...I've always been a jury duty reject. :( I hope that Thursday gets here quickly!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507118457609696378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-3515468573801364132011-03-22T14:03:49.717-05:002011-03-22T14:03:49.717-05:00I would have to say most pregnancies start with sa...I would have to say most pregnancies start with saltines and ginger ale!

I could barely stomach chicken almost the entire time but beef tended to be my friend. The baby will take everything it needs from you, as long as you're taking your prenatals and not getting dehydrated everything should be fine. I didn't really gain weight until the third trimester because I was so sick (I lost weight at first too), it's not fun but it's normal so no guilt! <br /><br />Hope the trial ends in time for your next scan!Mel.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17095162408557764223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-27288451527190233112011-03-22T12:42:06.879-05:002011-03-22T12:42:06.879-05:00I was chosen to be on a jury one time (about 8 yea...I was chosen to be on a jury one time (about 8 years ago) and I thought it was incredibly interesting.

Ach:) <br /><br />As far as feeling so sick and not being able to face much food, I'm in the same boat. I think it's fine. And your doctor will run a battery of bloodtests to make sure you're getting enough of what you need. Also, if you continue to lose weight/are unable to face food, there are medicines they can give you to take the edge off. Hope that scan goes wonderfully.Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955659206478903815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-77784316884716986802011-03-22T10:25:06.663-05:002011-03-22T10:25:06.663-05:00Well it sounds like an interesting case at least. ...Well it sounds like an interesting case at least.
