Morning ladies! I've been up for 2 hours already and am sitting at the airport waiting for my flight so I'll kick this off today. What's everyone up to?
Have a safe flight @summergirl1221! I may have missed it but is your trip for work or for fun?
I've been up for an hour and am now fighting falling asleep. I got up early to send my p's to the airport. There's no sense in going back to bed since I have to leave for work in an hour. Today's going to be a rough one!
Still out of state. We're going to visit my grandma today and tell her the good news. Hopefully it will perk her up as she's been dealing with a lot of back pain which is bringing her down. This will be her second great grand baby.
I didn't sleep worth anything last night. Wasting time I don't have before getting ready for work this morning. Nothing special about today yet - it's my Thursday! Hoping the random nausea I felt yesterday stays away today!!

flcl it's for work unfortunately. Many people on my flight are going to Cancun so it's depressing that I'm not going somewhere for fun too. Work trips always stress me out and I have no idea why. I'm just excited to get to my hotel tonight and relax without my H, DD or dog needing anything from me!
Morning ladies! I'm off to early crossfit class, then blood draw, then back here to wait for a well guy to come look at our well and why my water ran orange yesterday. All of my work at work will have to wait til Thursday I guess. Hoping to make it to my office at some point today.

Have a safe flight!! I hope your trip ends up being not so bad
I am currently entering grades for my team's science teacher because I am so nice (and he is not good with technology and grades were due to our admin yesterday). Once I am done I am putting a movie on for the kids and recruiting volunteers to clean my room up. It is glorified babysitting team.
Just a regular ole day at work here for me. I also slept like crap last night, so add me to the tired group.
DH agreed that in lieu of a bday gift for me this year, we could work on a diy project together, so I'm prepping all the materials for us to re-do the tile in our entryway and put a stairway/hall runner in place. I'm excited to give our place a little shot in the arm.

ellabee, I love the idea of a DIY project in lieu of a gift! Speaking of gifts, I asked DH what he would like for father's day. He said solar panels for our roof. Umm, ok.
Add me to the tired list too, I did not sleep well last night. I woke up 4 times to use the loo. I woke up feeling dizzy and with bad nausea I thought I was going to puke. I drank some water and ate some buttered toast it helped but not as much as I hoped. Also my allergies are awful, so I am pretty congested. I'm quite sure it's allergy related not anything pregnancy related. Work will be slow today I am sure.

ugh, sorry you feel bad peaseblossom55. Hope you feel better.
So my homeroom voted to clean up my classroom rather than watch a movie. I am literally just sitting here while they pack everything up and clear all the boards. I am glad they are feeling so helpful because I just don't have the energy to be an adult today. I slept well but I just feel blah. I am so over first trimester.

I hear you heybulldog56, on being over the first trimester! Last time I started to feel better around 12 weeks I hope it's the same this time. That is great they are cleaning for you! H was actually concerned about me getting up to use the loo so much he asked if everything was ok. I said yes and told him the babies already found a primitive form of communication and are plotting against me.

I know many of us feel nauseas/ have no appetite, but I cannot stop thinking about soup. Does anyone have recipes they'd care to share? Perhaps suggest sites/blogs I could entertain myself with?

My favorite easy soup vegan sweet potato soup take two large sweet potatoes put them in the oven until soft about 45 minutes Add the sweet potato sans skin into a pot along with some nutmeg cinnamon and a can of full fat coconut milk. Cook on medium for about 1/2 hour and blend in a food processor or with an immersion blender
I've also done the same type of recipe and instead of sweet potato I cook a butternut squash and 2 green apples sans skin.

thanks peaseblossom55 and opheliainwaders! I wish I were confident/ creative enough to veer from recipes. I always jealous of DH when he cooks because he is much more intuitive in the kitchen.

EDIT: un-soup related, my ADD brain lept from Soup to Chicken to Beyonce!
I love the blogess. The post about Beyoncé was amazing. Have you read her books? They are definitely worth the read, the first book- Let's Pretend This Never Happened was hilarious I was crying. The second book was good too but a slightly different.

Took it on vacation and had to stop reading in public, from all the laughing out loud.

Thank you ladies, the trip was uneventful! I'm just hanging at the airport now waiting for my coworker to arrive so we can get going to our meetings this afternoon.
I'm am so freaking bloated. I know it isn't a bump yet but since everything is moving up to make space I totally feel like I'm showing these past few days. I feel gross and fat but I'm trying to embrace it as much as I can.

Worst night of sleep ever. DD is a congested mess with diarrhea, which is causing a horrible diaper rash. I feel so bad for her! I ended up moving her into our room last night (she and DS share a room and I didn't want her keeping him up). We spent most of the night snuggling, poor thing. She's napping now and I'm trying to find motivation to shower and put myself together for the day. Unfortunately that requires getting off the couch!

@orangcrush caboose club!
heybulldog56 my main craving when I was preggo with my son was soup. Here are some links:
Spicy Pumpkin Soup This is almost like a Thai style, it has coconut milk and jalapeno and ginger
Tortilla Soup This one is super easy and you can modify the heat level with the salsa that you use. You could also add chicken or turkey to bulk it up some.
Ugh, all this soup talk is making me crave Olive Garden soup, salad, and breadsticks.
I actually have more energy today and am feeling less sick than the last couple weeks! I've already gotten more steps in this morning than I did all day yesterday - and we actually have clean towels now because I felt well enough to go up and down the stairs a billion times to do laundry!
Unfortunately, since I'm feeling better, I've also been starving all day, but DS is convinced that absolutely everything I try to eat belongs to him. Mama is hungry, just let me EAT!!
