Thanks everyone for the pep talk! It's so weird because this stuff usually doesn't bother me but I'm SO emotional right now! And it looks like I'm not the only one!
Ended up going on a quick little road trip to do some sight seeing with friends, including that coworker from last night. It was fun but I have to say I can't wait until this next weekend. There's just something about blowing shit up that always makes you feel better. DH told me today that we have 175 or more shots waiting for our extravaganza next weekend.
ImAPepper I'm glad you were able to meet up with your friends yesterday. I'm awful and only slightly keep up with my HS friends on facebook. I have a core group of about 6 of us girls that are from my first job and first group of friends post college, some of which we actually went to college together. I can be so awful at keeping up with people, especially if we don't live in close proximity. A few weeks ago, I met up with my college roommate who lives 4 hours away and it was the first time we'd seen each other in 10 years!
Yesterday, H let me sleep in and he took DD out to breakfast. She's been sleeping so bad lately and I've had trouble falling asleep at night, so this was a nice break. Then yesterday afternoon I took DD to the pool and she loved it for about 45 minutes! Then she all of a sudden got extremely upset, and ready for her nap. I was throwing all of our stuff in my bag, and when we got home I realized that my water bottle leaked on my phone. It's been sitting in rice since yesterday afternoon. I took a peak this morning and it's looking better, but not 100%. I really don't feel like shelling out $$$ for a new phone right now.
Today I'm having brunch with said girlfriends above. I'm going to share the news with them! No fake drinking for me, except for getting there early for an OJ in a champagne glass just to throw them off course before I spill the beans. I actually suspect one other in the group could be PG as well, so we'll see! Last time, I went through pregnancy with a different girl in the group and our babes were born 8 days apart!
Trying to get my disaster of a house ready for DS's first birthday party next weekend. Everyone coming knows I'm KU so they won't judge too much right? Tomorrow we have to tell the ILs about the new baby because they're coming to the party next weekend and are basically the only ones who don't know yet... Oops. Also on the nausea train. The dr told me to take half a unisom and 25mg of B6, I'm sleepy but feel a TON better.
This is a nausea fix? Weird, unisom is a sleep aid right? I'm already sleepy so that won't matter lol.
These are the ingredients in diclegis, except diclegis is time released. It's also expensive AF. I'm on diclegis, and it's not doing a great job. I liked zofran better.
tiffw2012 Have fun telling your girlfriends today!
Im going to AW for a sec. I finished my vanity project today! It turned out exactly how I wanted it to! Top is before and bottom is after.. We will have the faucet/handles come out of the wall. They're the old school kind that say "hot" and "cold" on the handles.

This happened at church today... Older lady: "so, do you think you'll have any more kids?" (as we watched the toddler run around) H: *laughs inside* Me, casually: "Oh, at some point. We tell people before he's in high school." H and me... try not to look at each other.
Ugh. I woke up today with neck pain, throbbing headache and overall nausea. Trying to stop a migraine before it get full blown. Barely could eat my breakfast and all I want to do is curl up on my couch and nap but there's an open house at our condo today. Sigh. Got a tall caramel macchiato to get some caffeine to try to help this migraine and bought some Tylenol at the store while I was banished from my home
Still feel like throwing up though. This throwing up has been happening more and more this past week. I guess I should be thankful for symptoms? Blahhhhh to Sunday.

Got in a car accident yesterday on my way to work and of course the driver took off thankfully there's not a lot of damage and I didn't get injured but damn was I upset. 12 years driving with not so much as a parking ticket, and I've never even been pulled over...and I get hit by a dick head.

So, inhaling is causing me nausea. I never had "morning sickness" before with my girls. Maybe this is a boy. Or maybe this just really sucks. Probably mostly the last one.
+1 to the nausea train. It was hard to smile and pretend everything was okay at church today. Sprite helps a lot, but I don't want to develop a soda habit.
Just got back from our NOTL work retreat. Hiding the pregnancy wasn't as difficult as I thought. The bar was tucked away at both evening's formal events, so I was able to tell the bartender on the sly to keep the drinks virgin. She totally outed another girl in my office who I now know is also pregnant. She said, "Someone else has already asked me to do the same!", then realized what she had said and said she wouldn't say who. There were only about 6 people there at that point though, all drinking wine, except one, who had a "cocktail".
flyinghorses6 so glad you're okay! I hope your insurance company is helpful and not a bunch of jackasses. I never understand how someone could just take off after hitting someone. Ugh.
What a busy weekend! This morning we did a 5 km fun run for a charity in our town and we all had a blast. Then off to a baby meet and greet at a friends house. I was so worried how DS would do because it was right during naptime but he made me so proud and was a total sweetheart the whole time. I got a little weepy on the way home thinking about how much his life will change in the next few months
pivot that looks great! flyinghorses6 glad you're ok! ktl23 I feel the same way sometimes. This is the best stage so far with Henry and he's just such a sweetie pie. I know he'll love having a sibling but I also have mixed emotions about it.
EmMilAlly I keep hearing that your heart and love grows in size with a new baby, but I'm struggling trying to wrap my head around how I will have enough time for both of them. I remember my BFF crying after having her second because her oldest was sick but she was still in the hospital recovering from her c-section and she felt guilty that she wasn't home - I didn't get it then, but boy do I get it now. Glad I'm not the only one struggling with this - we will get through it together!

EmMilAlly and ktl23, I have been feeling really guilty about wanting to have another baby so soon and DS not getting any more of my one-on-one time. But MH said something that helped - it would be difficult to "add" to our family any time, because we'll always be thinking that it would be nice to have more time with just him. I try to focus on the fun that siblings have together and I really try not to think about the hospital time when baby 2 is born Almost makes me want a home birth. Almost.
shawnabm1320 that's a good point actually! And I love having siblings and I know my DS will really thrive with the company, but man this mom guilt has been intense lately!
Flyinghorse, glad you are okay! Will you have to file the claim as uninsured motorist? Something similar happened to my MIL and she only had to pay half of the deductible.
Brunch went good with my girlfriends! They were all surprised and excited. I showed up early and the waitress made me a cranberry/ ginger ail to look like a poinsettia so they were none the wiser until I shared the news.
And my phone is working again. Hallelujah!
Add me to the crowd of hoping I can spread the love around. On one hand, it's hard to grasp how I'll love another child as much as DD. But I also feel like she is going to feel left out and forgotten. I want her to always feel as special as she does now. But as they say, you're heart makes more room.
wildflower810, meh. She's fine to talk to, but she's super fake. I've seen her participate in gossip about a particular co-worker, then that afternoon see her at that co-workers desk whispering. I won't have a problem being pregnant with her, but it'll be surface level stuff.
