We had a good morning. I went to bed at 9:30 last night and both of us slept pretty soundly. I feel like a whole new person today smile emoticon I have a bunch of projects to knock out today, I have to go to Target to get snacks for our 12 hour drive (yeesh!) and I have to pack tonight. Lots going on, but I'm so excited for Florida tomorrow!
Well, I drank the Kool-Aid and bought a home Doppler fetal monitor and it came in last night. Of course I couldn't find the baby's heartbeat. I'm sure my retroverted uterus is partially to blame, but PGAL brain is going crazy on me!!!
brit365, is it one of the ones where you need to use aloe vera with it? Because that happened to me. It was only after my inability to find my own heartbeat that I realized I was missing a step. Hugs! Don't let PGAL brain get the better of you!

Good morning everyone! Last night's doggy birthday party was a success. So cute. Of course right beforehand we had a 20 minute fight about eating dinner but that's parenting right?
Expecting work to be slow today in advance of the weekend. Having date night with my husband tonight. Tomorrow I am 10 weeks! Thinking about it as 25% of the way there makes it seem more real.
brit365 I'm thinking of drinking the Kool Aid too. Errrrrbody on here and PAIF has one. That's what I'm scared of now and before - not being able to find the hb and freaking out. I mean not wait til baby # to get one? HA!

The SJ Sharks made the Stanley Cup finals last night! I'm so stoked. Of course that meant that the idiots in my neighborhood who always do illegal fireworks were up all night. They are so obnoxious. DH really wants to go to a game. So do I, but I don't know with all my morning sickness being in the evenings if I can handle it, especially since everyone who was at the game last night says it was insanely loud. Maybe I'll be a good wife and let him go with a friend, but I really want to go too. He'll have to owe me big time.

Okay am I the only one peeing constantly. I mean its ridiculous. It's like every 20 mins. Is Lil bit just sitting on my bladder. I am only 9weeks. Dear lord. I mean not like gushing pee but like a solid pee every time. Over it.
WineNChocolate,I counted yesterday and I tallied 18 trips to the bathroom between when I got up and when I went to bed. At work I can't get up and go whenever I want to, otherwise, yeah I'd probably be at an every 30-45 minutes.

brit365, then hugs! When is your next appointment? Also, I don't know how many weeks you are, but my midwife said depending on your size and a few other things, you might not be able to pick up a heartbeat until 14-15 weeks.
Thanks kaydee0402, I know logically that it's likely user error or just too hard to locate the heartbeat right now. I just got really spoiled to the comfort of US because I had one at 6, 8, and 10 weeks so now that I'm 11 weeks and don't have another appointment until 14 weeks I thought the Doppler would help ease my anxiety some.
I'm so jealous of you ladies that get to have extra long weekends! I have absolutely nothing going on at work today and a million things to do at home, so I would much rather be there!
I have my first appointment with the regular OB on Tuesday and I really hope she does another ultrasound. I, too, am anxious and want to see my kiddo again. My nausea has tapered off dramatically and it makes me paranoid. brit365, I hope you can pick up a hb soon in the doppler so you don't have to worry until the 14 week appointment!
requiressnacks, enjoy the tours! Do you have a list of questions prepared?
I asked a few things about vacations, what we provide, what they provide, etc. nothing too formal.
However, I'm pretty sure I toured the best ever daycare this morning. The place was amazing. And the price tag matched. I'm afraid the one I see this afternoon won't even compare.

I bought one as well. And of course, I can't find the HB either. But do not fret - babies had strong HBs yesterday.

I am so afraid of this. DC is so expensive in general, and I'm nervous that any place I really love is going to be out of reach financially.

I haven't even broken out my doppler yet because I know it's so early that picking up the heartbeat is hit or miss. Heck, even when I was 30 weeks and could feel DS moving, locating the heartbeat could take some time. Don't stress about it But if you're really anxious, you can always call your OB/midwife about moving up the appointment! I'm sure they would be willing to work with you.

Dopplers can be evil sometimes. I love mine, however, there were a few times it caused unnecessary panic. I was a little too obsessed last pregnancy, and would have brought it to work if I thought I could get away with it just to ease my anxiety some days! That's PAIF brain for ya. This time, I have vowed not be at that level of anxiety again, lol.

What's everyone eating for lunch? I didn't pack anything because my fridge is bare due to going out of town, and what we had didn't sound appetizing. I had Chick-Fil-A grilled chicken wrap last night. I'm leaning towards either Chipotle or stopping into Fresh Market on my lunch.
kaydee0402, We haven't been going to the store regularly the last 2 weeks because I can't predict how I'll feel at night anymore. I did stock up on lunch stuff though. Today is chips and salsa and tomorrow will probably be taquitos. My poor taste buds are just shot from the nausea. It really sucks, we had been doing so well with cooking meals nightly and having leftovers for lunch, now I've reverted back to dorm food, only things that can be made in the microwave or some straight out of the fridge.

@winenchocolate I pee constantly too and I'm only 9 weeks as well.
requiressnacks We are starting daycare tours soon, too. I have zero idea what to ask them.
I think some basic questions include payment, holiday/vacation schedule, if (& to what age) they provide a daily report (feedings, naps, bm, etc). A couple DC I looked into asked for a full months payment up front. Not doable. Last year I was taken off guard when DC closed for Presidents day but not July 4th. Now that DS is a toddler I don't get a daily report even though I asked and got a couple in the beginning.
A pet peeve of mine is no DC I toured accepted credit cards. It's a pain to take cash out.

I really hope whatever one we choose takes credit cards. Think of all the miles! Free vacation!
