Tuesday Talk (Randoms)

[dashook]

What's going on, ladies?

[aggiebug]

Gosh danib you just can't catch a break it seems. That sucks I am sorry.

[aggiebug]

Today DD and I get to visit my friend and her 3 weeks old. Eek I am excited! Should also be interesting to see how DD deals with sharing me.

[goldenlove3]

Ugh sorry danib!

[goldenlove3]

I have to do a biometric screening in an hour and had to do a health assessment at work for insurance. The whole thing is stupid to begin with but especially now that I'm pregnant. The assessment asked if I'm pregnant then on the next screen asked for my height/weight and what my plan for losing weight is. Uhhh...

danib ugh I'm so sorry:( feel better

Ha Yeah. My H's insurance had that. When I had to do it last it was like a month after baby. What do you plan on doing to lose weight? Umm sit on a couch and feed a baby and see how that goes for a while

I had to do this too! It did give me a break on my premium though so that's nice!

[cookswithwine9]

danib sorry you are in the hospital again!

[LizInFL]

danib I'm so sorry, that really stinks.

Morning everyone! Officially 13w today

Not much going on; took DS to preschool, I have a repair guy coming this morning, and then I may try to squeeze on a grocery store trip. Also need to get Mothers Day cards...it kind of snuck up on me this year!

[ClassyMrsA]

Our offer was accepted!! But...

I'm still ridiculously sick. No fever, but I have only managed to keep down most of a popsicle since yesterday afternoon. Dr called in phenergan suppository and pills last night. So far it's doing nothing but make me tired. Waiting for the dr to call me back to tell me what to do now.

Eta: dr called back. Now I get zofran. We'll see if that helps. What else is there if it doesn't? I'm worried if it doesn't stop I'll be going to the hospital.

[sophiegrace]

Congrats ClassyMrsA! Hope you feel better soon and can enjoy it.

Start taking ALL the things now to keep you regular. I know it's hard to imagine, being so sick and all. But benefiber, colace, hydration. Zofran constipation is no joke.

[sophiegrace]

So sorry again danib, at the very least I'm glad your H is home.

Lol @goldenlove...we had one of those biometric screening things at our office for about a month before I called the company and asked them to remove it. It was such a crock and I just felt icky trying to pass it off to my patients as an actual diagnosing tool. I can't wait for health insurances to catch on so that they shut that shit down.

[sophiegrace]

Ahh thanks for the reminder LizInFL. All our moms/aunts/Nana are out of state so I need to get on Mother's Day like yesterday. Let's see what I can get them that they'll complain about this year...

[sophiegrace]

AFM, H the day is finally here and H is taking his boards! I thought the day would never come and I'm so so nervous for him. He fell asleep no problem last night and I felt like shaking him awake and asking him how he could sleep at a time like this. Lucky guy. He's there with the other doc who works at the office on Tuesdays so it's a happy day off for me. And I'm getting the wood floors the professional cleaning they need so so bad. I can't wait for it to be done!

[dashook]

((Hugs)) danib, I hope you get out of there soon!
tgrimes1980, hope all is well with your DD.
ClassyMrsA, feel better!!

Just got done with DS at his 15 month appointment and now I'm picking up Indian takeout for lunch before heading in to work. Not going to be my best billing day but #doncurr.

[sophiegrace]

Spanx during pregnancy, yes or no?

Oh no! People like that are so tough to shop for. Next year you can just send them something cute 'from' the new grandbaby, surely that would not illicit complaints?!

Fortunately both my mom and MIL shop at Talbots, so I just go there and buy them clothes or accessories. My MIL's friends have told me privately that they can always recognize when she's wearing something I bought (in a good way). Maybe if the whole interior design thing doesn't work out I will take up personal shopping for the 60+ crowd

I think they (or a knock-off brand) make some specifically meant for pregnancy? Like the panel around your tummy is more forgiving but everything else is held in.

Otherwise I guess it just depends on your bump size and how comfortable (or not) you care to be? 

[LizInFL]

Ok, all my Mother's Day stuff is done. MIL's gift is wrapped and I'll mail it today. Now I just have to tackle teacher appreciation gifts...the shopping is apparently never-ending. Sorry, DH...I'm spending it as fast as you can make it.

ClassyMrsA Congrats on the house! I know that must be a huge relief. Sorry you're not feeling well, hopefully the zofran will help.

tgrimes1980 Hope Mara will be OK. Or, you know, just toddlin'.

[sophiegrace]

tgrimes1980 and LizInFL, my sister graduates on the 21st and for multiple reasons I don't want my family to know yet. We only see them twice a year or so (we live states away from all family) so it won't be hard to notice a change in my midsection. I'm showing so much sooner this time around and don't know how much more I'll have to hide in two and a half weeks.

In that case, I think spanx is fine!

I think I'm going to buy a pair off amazon now so I have a few weeks to try wearing them for an hour or two and feel it out. I feel guilty/selfish/sad that we have to hide something we are so excited about, but my Mom is...difficult. And I don't think it's fair to take away the limelight from my sister. She keeps saying that she's driving down for her birthday (I'll be 21 weeks), and if she does I'll schedule a for fun ultrasound for her to see baby. But, we've lived here for 4 years and she's never driven down to see us so I won't hold my breath.

Hello everybody :-)

danib I'm sorry you are back in the hospital, and through the weekend, geez.. Is H home now?
ClassyMrsA Congrats on the house but I'm sorry you're so sick! Hopefully the zofran helps !

I ended up calling my boss today and telling him our news. I REALLY didn't want to do it over a phonecall but (a) we announced yesterday on FB totally forgetting we have some old coworkers on there and word might get around through the channels and then (b) in the bathroom this morning my coworker point blank asked me.. I fear word will also get around through her. I am shocked she asked but not mad, it is VERY noticeable now.

Also, I am feeling SOOO glad we did our FB announcement yesterday! We ended up changing it slightly because our original idea wasn't working with the wind, but in the actual text of the post we did give a nod to the fact that we'd had some trouble.



H called his parents to let them know our NT scan went well and we had shared and they might get a call from family etc and it was ok to talk about it. By the time we all got in at about 6:00 every aunt, uncle, cousin, and family friend knew and were calling FIL/MIL. H's parents aren't on FB but most everyone else is, and those who aren't are very connected to those who are. FIL was just happy he could finally talk about it. MIL was pissed of course because "she didn't get to tell everyone" and as she shakes her head and grunts under her breath "I was supposed to tell them"... Lol. Yep, totally your news to break to everyone lady.

[dashook]

kleigh, I love your announcement, how sweet! I teared up (not that it's hard to make me do that these days lol)

[tallblonde]

kleigh so great! Tell MIL she can her friends and get over herself. Pretty sure SHE wasn't trying for years for your twins.

Seeing peanutmuse 's rainbow posters earlier did the same to me! "I'm fine, I swear, it's just allergies guys"..

Eta: And THANK YOU :-)

[sophiegrace]

Love it so much kleigh! I'm so incredibly happy for you and your H and excited that we get to go along this journey with you.


Also, MIL and her antics almost comical to me now. Maybe because I can directly relate to it. I hope you have enough other support in your life that's she's no longer hurtful to you because wow that lady has some special issues.

Thank you! Yeah she's something else, after that blow out I don't really care, I do laugh it off and I've seen a totally different (even better) side of H, he has become amazing so I trust everything has fallen into place :-)

[ClassyMrsA]

kleigh Love your announcement! Super cute!

Zofran seems to be the winner! I'm surprised because it never helped a ton with L, but I'm glad it's working so well now. I've been able to keep down a popsicle and crackers. Hopefully I will get over whatever made me so sick and I won't need it for long.

Now I can focus on the house! Picking paint colors and inspection tomorrow.
