Hai. On the schedule today: stay upright long enough to get my house back to some semblance of order. I'm in the nauseous-off-and-on stage now instead of being constantly nauseous so I should be able to get some things done. Unfortunately if I need to take a break in the middle of cleaning a room, DS destroys it again before I can finish.
DH has also done, if possible, even less around the house than usual while I've been sick. So that's annoying.

It never ceases to amaze me that DH can spend 30+ minutes pooping but can't find the time to wipe the kitchen counters or pick his pants off the floor.

My legs are so sore from working out on Monday that I can barely walk. Owieee.
The rest of my week is "easy" in that I don't have a ton of meetings scheduled. But I made of these outlandishly aggressive commitments to my boss on Monday morning when I had one ounce of energy. Grumble.
We've invited more than 50 people to a 4th of July party next weekend. OMG. And our pool filter is broken, and the new one is sitting in our garage and my H is dragging his heels scheduling installation. OMG. There is so much crap to get done in the next 10 days. OMG.

I was up around 5 this morning with a bad stomach luckily I fell back to sleep but I'm exhausted. I've had some nausea this morning but I hope it goes away. I have an important conference call to present on at 2 otherwise the rest of my day is easy. I do have to go grocery shopping after work.
The dress I ordered for the wedding came in, two actually, neither look great or really hide the blump. It made me so upset. H doesn't think at 14 weeks ( when the wedding is) I should try to hide it anymore. He thinks we should be celebrating and have people be happy for us, instead of sad because of our IF struggles and the loss of our daughter. It makes sense but I feel so conflicted. I'm in emotional hell and hormones don't help. Sorry for the novel.

I stopped at Starbucks for a latte since all other coffee drinks make me nauseas. The smell is not pleasant but I need he caffeine. FX I don't need to run out of this meeting...

peaseblossom55, I'm sorry you're feeling so conflicted. I agree, at this point with twins it's probably going to be hard to hide the changes to your body. I would just find something you like and you're comfortable in. We're in such an awkward stage right now and I'm trying to own it but it's hard. I'm sure you're going to look great!

opheliainwaders, thanks. I hope I can find something that works. I compared pictures to my last pregnancy and I definitely look bigger this time. So the month ahead thing is probably right. I hope you feel better today.
peaseblossom55 hugs. I agree with your husband, if people say anything you should tell them your happy news (if you want to of course) but don't feel obligated to tell anyone either if that makes sense?
Hi ladies! Sorry I've been MIA summer is to photographers what tax season is to accountants. Two shoots a day, a baby to run after, supper to cook etc- I feel like I'm treading water right now.
Yesterday my ds3 sprained his wrist and had to stay home so I ended up with the day off, but today I have a nb session and then a maternity session.
We've been telling people sporadically if it comes up, the big reveal is Sunday at baby's birthday party! Eek!
And also the baby took 3 steps yesterday, which promptly had me crying. Hormones.

That's H stance on this at 14 weeks is not to hide it anymore, but for some reason I can't even explain really. I want to hide it longer. I think I fear something going wrong again.
I'm so over work today. I need a vacation badly. I can feel myself mentally checking out.
The nausea is real today. Nothing sounds appetizing.
Tomorrow is my 1st prenatal appointment. I'm really hoping I can convince my OB to send me for another scan soon just to put my mind at ease. I want to mentally get beyond our MMC loss milestone.
I'm also disappointed that my OBs office doesn't have a bedside u/s machine. It's the only thing I wish I could change about their practice. For scans, I have to go into the actual hospital.
peaseblossom55 I understand that completely. That's how j felt with my almost one year old- but I fought it by telling people. Choosing hope and trying to believe everything would be ok. Because as you and I both well know, we have no control over outcomes. And I waited til I was 12 weeks to tell people about Sawyer and then lost him at 39w. So really, even though every person walking around out there is proof of a pregnancy that ended in a live happy baby, I still can't really get comfortable. We really never know what's just around the corner.

peaseblossom55 I'm so sorry you are having to deal with these emotions. I am similar in wanting to stay private for as long as possible and I know that is hard once our bodies start growing. I hope if you decide to tell you feel completely at peace about it.

Oh, man, I feel you. My MO has been to be really open about it this time, but I completely understand how you feel
I really wish I could be more open about it. Maybe I just need to bite the bullet here.

Thank you ashtog, & meeggaannww. I probably really won't feel safe or comfortable until the babies are in my arms. I hope I can figure this out and be comfortable.

I told my team members and co-teachers yesterday. I would have felt bad surprising then in August with a bump. I plan on tellin my administrators today but I am anxious. Im worried they will second guess their decision to make me department chair now that I am pregnant. I know I am being irrational in thinking this news will disappoint them but I can't help myself.
Today is the last day of school for the students, so it's just games and an awards ceremony this afternoon. Tomorrow is my last day, but we probably won't have to stay the whole day. Summer is almost here!
heybulldog56 I really think I will be showing up in September 18 weeks pregnant, surprising my colleagues.
I'm still debating if I should tell my principal then, or call her in early August when I enter third tri. (EDIT: ack no, I mean 2nd tri, wtf pregnancy brain, I can't internet today)! I'd feel bad surprising her, but not sure a phone call is appropriate. Also, I live pretty far from my work so I'm not just going to pop in to tell her. Decisions.
I have my last scan with my re this afternoon. I'm excited to see the baby again! Also, my mom, who does not know I'm pregnant is watching DD, so I have to tell her I'm going to be late, so she'll probably want to know why. On top of that, we're going to a family reunion where I'm sure there will be wine and I love wine and my family knows it. Ideally I'd like to not tell anyone for a while, but i think people will guess, so I might just tell people.
Anyway, sorry for rambling, I apparently have a lot of feelings on whether or not to tell people I'm pregnant.
@paeseblossom I'm sorry you're struggling with what to do. It's a tough thing to start with and pregnancy hormones just amplify everything.
I really wish I could be more open about it. Maybe I just need to bite the bullet here.
I decided that since most of my friends already know about my losses, and it's going to become quite apparent that I'm not drinking and my pants are tight, I just don't have the mental energy to expend on hiding it. Maybe it's partly just getting older and not GAF, but I decided that the worst thing that could happen is to go through another loss without a support network, so I'm just going for it. Part of it is also this weird belief that if more people know, then there are more people rooting for us? Which I know makes no real difference, but it helps.
Anyway, there really is no wrong way to go about this, but if hiding it is stressing you out, I think the stakes for telling people are actually lower than society would have us believe.
This really resonates with me. Perhaps the more that know and are rooting for us the better I will feel. Hiding this is stressing me out at least for this wedding. Thank you.

I found a lot of dresses at Nordstrom, we have two weddings coming up, one no one will know about baby, so the dresses were perfect, and flowy! I picked this one, because I love it and will wear it even after baby. Did you try ordering a few sizes up to give more blump room? good luck!
jrun2013 end of August is third tri?? What??!!! When are you due? I'm due Jan 15, but I think third tri for me starts end of October.. That just blew my mind lol.

No, beginning of August is second tri for me. I don't even know when third tri starts yet. I'll be 18 weeks in September when I go back to work.
