    Welcome Starangelk-Congrats on the BFP!!!

    Mildez-Re the ice-cream; its Saturday it doesn't count

    I've just found a great drink! Iced tea (home-made) I was getting sick of water so made a jug of green tea and put it in the fridge til really cold and it is yummo! Great on a hot day like today. And much better than soft drink!

    You girls crack me up!! I can see this is going to be one funny little group

    Lady-bug - watch the caffeine in Green tea. Its quite high apparently.

    We had steak, salad, boiled egg and some naughty garlic bread (home made) for dinner. Now im craving icecream thanks to Mildez! I might have to crack out some of my hot chocolate!

    Mildez - I cant stand chicken at the moment either, or my other favourite, salmon!!! I cant eat it canned, grilled, or baked. It just makes me gag! Ive also gone off tomatoes which I could eat like fruit before pregnancy :-/ This is the first time that I am carrying a girl, so maybe that's why.

    For breaky, ive started having Special K with dried Cranberries sprinkled on the top with milk. Its really yummy!

    Oh and I made a 'healthy' banana cake today which was really yummy!! Just google 'healthy banana cake' and its the one from taste.com.au great for those sweet cravings and I used the healthy margarine (cholesterol lowering one) which I guess makes it a little more healthy.

    MummaBear its depressing isn't it? I'm up a kilo or two off 20kilos with about 12weeks to go. And with my other 2 it was the last trimester the weight really packed on so I'm very worried. It doesn't look like I have another 3months of growing left to do IYKWIM. Up until a week ago I was tiny in the tummy and all of a sudden I look much much bigger. My stomach although it doesn't poke out alot is so high. I should upload a picture. I know its all good and I have the rest of my life to loose it but I do think I'm going to look hideous. Also my SIL is due 3weeks before me and looks like a super model. Despite all this I still ate 2 iceblocks and a piece of cake on top my normal meals! Poor baby. Of to work again soon. Its easy to eat healthy there (except when people bring us chocolates) as I can just take my dinner and have no opportunity to get more.

    Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday. Lady-bug you said Saturday doesn't count! Seeing as Sunday is a day of rest does that mean we don't count Sunday also?

    Hi guys, I have just found this and wanted to know if I can join???

    I am 15 wks with my third and tend to put on weight when pregnant, so worried about it. My biggest problem at the moment is milkshakes. I never have them when not pregnant, now I am trying to keep it to two a week. Still too many. I have only put on 1 kg SO FAR, so thats not bad, but I need to try and eat better as my tummy is not being kind and all I want is carbs...

    Lady bug you can get caffeine free green tea as well I love peppermint tea
