I'm up and waiting to wake up DS to take him to DC. Today I'm going to get paint samples for his big boy room, grocery shop and run a couple other errands.
Still raining on our vacation. Still have a cold, and I can't blow my nose. It's driving me nuts. I couldn't blow my nose at all last pregnancy either.

Can't blow it because it makes you pee, or because nose-blowing just isn't working?
Taking the day off to meet H at a 3 day car show he's at. It'll be miles of walking, and I do like going, but I'm really only going because he wants me to go "for at least one day". I'd much rather get things done at work, but I've got nothing that can't wait till Friday.
Feeling slightly better today. ILs will be here this afternoon and I've got some rushed cleaning to do before then since I've been too sick to move and DH does the bare minimum.
The bad news: our team received a spanking last night. The delicious news: I got a yummy pulled pork sandwich plus split fries and ice cream with mh. The awesome news: that's my munchkin in the red shirt....who just happens to be on the big screen! Of course he was smiling right up until the guy turned the camera on him and then he started to chew his hat. PDQ I'll poof it later *poof*

lakegirl,I believe it was my team that beat you (sorry). But hey, your little man is ADORABLE!
opheliainwaders,so jealous of your two day work week. I have no idea how I will make it through today. I am already struggling to keep my eyes open. My classroom is so warm... I wonder if the kids will notice if I take a quick nap at my desk...

It's my work from home day. Yay! I have tons of online meetings today though which sucks. I hope they aren't too annoying. I have some cleaning and laundry to do today as well. I tried the water with lemon and I'm enjoying the water more.

I usually enjoy the peace associated with testing time but the lack of things to do is making me sleepier than I already am. I have already re-organized my desk and entered all my grades for the week.
My coworker asked me to fill in for her for a site visit tomorrow and Monday that I'm really not supposed to do according to my doctor. She needs help because her husband's aunt passed away and they are traveling to the funeral.
I was caught so off guard that I didn't know what to do and said OK. I really don't want to say anything about being pregnant yet, at least until after I see how things look at my US tomorrow. It's first thing at 9.
There is one other younger guy that can do it, but she doesn't think he knows what he is doing. Personally, I think he'd be fine.
Should I just have him go alone, even though she expressed that she didn't want that? Should I call in sick? Should I let my coworker know in pregnant via text tomorrow (pending a good US)? Ugh.
(The site visit is that I am an architect and we are looking at potentially unsafe conditions at a building.)
Help!
Unsafe as in breathing in potentially bad things? Honestly, If you think you can avoid these situations pretty easily until you're ready to come out as pregnant, I'd call in sick this one time, just because you're in a bind. But that's just me #notsuperprofessional. If you think it'll happen more than just this once, I'd come clean.
I have a colleague who is cold shouldering me all of a sudden. I have no idea why, but I'm sure it's something I said/did/didn't do. Why can't some people just suck it up and plaster fake smiles on their faces like the rest of us? It's business, lady. We don't have to be besties.
This morning and been horrible and scary and I'm waiting to hear back from the doctor for instructions.
Last night when I went to the bathroom before bed I had a lot of watery discharge (possibly the ultrasound lube?) with a hint of brown blood. I was a little concerned but figured "brown blood is old blood and it could just be from the ultrasound".
This morning I woke up around 6:00 feeling wet and having to pee so I got up. As I walked to the bathroom I felt a little trickle and it was more watery discharge (similar to semen but we didn't have sex last night so I know that isn't it) with a little brown/slightly pink blood. There was a little on the toilet paper but not an alarming amount, and again it wasn't red so I tried to stay calm.
I went back to bed and started having gassy cramps and got up again to use the bathroom, yeah, no spotting!
Went back to bed and started feeling sick to my stomach and I couldn't tell if I was making myself sick with worry or if it was morning sickness. I ended up puking twice and the second time I puked I felt a gush and when I looked it was bright red blood. Cue panic.
It was 7:30 and I called the office and left a message and I haven't heard back over two hours later (granted they have only been open an hour). I think the spotting has stopped (it had the last time I went to the bathroom around 8:30) but I'm having some ever so slight cramping that I'm probably only noticing because I'm worried I'm going to lose the baby. The cramping almost feels like it is coming from my cervix and radiating down through my vagina (not sure how else to describe it) and that isn't helping things.
I'm slowly eating oyster crackers and my stomach is trying to calm down but my nerves are not.
I have a crap ton of work to do today and I don't want to do it. I actually logged in early to try to distract myself and I have gotten a few things taken care of on my list.
I really wish my doctor would call but I'm not sure what they can do. A beta test won't tell us anything and even if an ultrasound shows a heartbeat that doesn't mean that something won't happen in the next few days.
Totally paranoid me says the watery discharge was the sac breaking and the cramps are mild contractions in preparation for a loss.
More reasonable me says... Who am I kidding, the paranoid me has totally taken over my brain.
Hugs, aprilz81. For kid 1, I had two significant bleeds, one in early first tri and one in second tri. It's very very scary but not always a loss. Hang tight. I hope you get answers soon
The rational brain is starting to kick in. Against my better judgement I did consult Dr. Google about the cramping and a lot of women said it was normal and most likely ligaments stretching and not necessarily my cervix opening. That did make me feel a little better.
And the doctor's office finally called (and it was my favorite nurse).
She was awesome and sympathetic and said that I could come in for a scan at 2:30 if I wanted to.
I took the appointment but I may cancel if the spotting stays away (no more since the scary episode this morning) and/if the cramping stopped (still going on but pretty mild).
I may go in anyway to to know SOMETHING instead of just driving myself crazy wondering...
All the hugs aprilz81. I'm glad it was your favorite nurse that called back. Personally I would go to the scan regardless because I would want to know something.
Sorry I've been gone, ladies. So much has been happening around here. We left for Memorial Day weekend to spend it with DH's grandmother. She turned 95 last week, and still kicking! Lives by herself and everything. This required being around DH's aunt, who can be a bit much to take. She can find drama where there is none. After two days, I was ready to leave.
{Click here to see more.}I also spent some time in the ER last Thursday. I had some bleeding, and I got diagnosed with a subchoriatic hemorrhage. Not cool. After my first pregnancy being so easy going and laid back (I was told I was lower than low risk lol), I was not ready for this information and I'm not really taking it well.
Nothing planned today. It's supposed to be hot. Really hot. Maybe time to bust out a sprinkler for DD?
