I'm not caught up, but I'm really struggling. This move has taken more of an emotional toll on me than I thought it would and I'm so sad and lonely. I miss my friends and support system. We don't have internet because a pipe was slashed and they have to fix it so I'm on limited data for now. I'm sorry for just popping in to whine, I just need to let it out somewhere.

queenofcats, moving can be so hard! If you are able get outside, sunshine helps.
It takes time but you'll build your friendships and village in your new space. Be kind to yourself in the meantime.
Be the obnoxious mom that introduces her self at the playground -I made one of my best friends doing that.
Most of all, hugs!
Thanks. We went to storytime today. I felt so lonely though because everyone knows each other already. I don't make friends easily, unlike E who befriended everyone she met.

rachydc that's been my favorite part about u/s days - picking what treat to get myself afterwards. I'm hardcore craving pizza right now though, so there's my vote.
shawnabm1320 I'm sorry you missed out on making donuts with your grandma. But your sweet squish will be here soon!!! And I'm so impressed at how much you've been getting done the last couple weeks.
@justinslovo are you doing ok? Tomorrow is baby day right??? Eek!!!!
Hugs, queenofcats. Moving is so hard. Are there any mom's groups there you can join? I was able to make friends when my older girls were younger that way. If there's some sort of FB or online component to the group, it will be nice to have a more familiar way of meeting people that way too.
I didn't know treating yourself to good food after an ultrasound is a thing. I'm going to have to remember this for #2.
That being said...I want to start TTC like NOW. Like literally today. Buuuuuuut that means no San Fran/Napa in the fall. I should wait, right??
I gave up a Hawaii trip to get pregnant. I actually delivered the week before we were supposed to go. I would start - you never know what happens, but i'm a make a decision and get going on it type of person.
Hugs queenofcats. I don't make friends very easily either. When I was on maternity leave and trying to make mom friends I joined a bunch of local mom groups on FB and went to meetups. I would never randomly make a friend at a playground or storytime of whatever. Maybe you have something like that in your area?

queenofcats I'm sorry it has been a difficult transition. I second trying to find some other moms. I first started using the app "meet up" and from there I met so many!! I just had to step outside my comfort zone. I never would have seen myself doing those things in the past. Hugs!

I'm going to research groups soon. I couldn't find any local FB ones.

@traceyos - sorry about the infection. Yikes. I agree with jnetx - I would explicitly say that you do not feel comfortable (if you aren't) taking the antibiotic until you get your period, and so ask if he would rather you wait, or prescribe a different drug right now.
shawnabm1320 - do you have a deadline to go into labor before they induce?
I have an appointment tomorrow for a NST, and I'm assuming we'll discuss that then depending on the results. I'll be 41 weeks Friday, and my office doesn't generally like to do inductions, so I'm assuming "worst case" scenario, I could be pregnant for about 10 more days, unless something looks off at my appointment tomorrow. If they ask me, I'm not sure I'd like to go past next Wednesday... I feel like she's already big - I'm not sure how I feel about delivering a 10-pound baby, when my last was only 6.15...
And I do realize that's not worst case scenario. I just want to have a healthy baby, so whatever it takes, however long/short that is - that's what we'll aim for!
Guys, this might be a UO or a FFFC, but it's going here because I am SO EFFING IRRITATED.
The Progressive Women's Group in my area decided that what the JCC needed was an outpouring of support in the form of a rally. During rush hour. On two roads that are notoriously shitty and congested. So that's fun. Yesterday I had to leave early to get my child because of the bomb threat; today we're encouraged to go get our kids early so we don't get trapped or extraordinarily delayed due to this "support rally."
I regret that I didn't immediately comment on the post starting to organize it - which I saw in the early stages - to say, my child goes to school here, and please consider whether or not this is actually helpful. It's just another inconvenience and a perceived security risk (for those who struggle with crowd anxiety, as I do). It's worth noting that the note from her daycare is very carefully phrased "we appreciate the support, but we did not ask for or plan this."

@traceyos, is staph pretty serious? I guess I'd think about calling them back and asking if there's anything you can take while you're pregnant - because you could be and you won't know. Or you can ask if it will hurt to wait a few days.
catladymeow, wishing your family peace during this time. Hugs to you.
queenofcats, I'm so sorry you're having trouble adapting. Get yourself and your family situated first before even thinking of friends and whatnot. We're here to fill that void for you Once home life starts to settle, everything else will hopefully fall into place as well! Kids are also great ice breakers, as you've witnessed your little social butterfly at story time. Things will get better, give it some time xo

If you want, I'll text you throughout the first trimester - every woe, ache and pain I have. It's been a doozy so far. Maybe that will help you decide (or scare you off ) !
We do paczkis for fat Tuesday ...is this not a thing for everyone else?
I haven't caught up, but I'm currently eating paczkis! We got raspberry and lemon filled one, the boys are acting like I'm trying to poison them by suggesting they try it. Whatever kids, don't eat it, I'll sacrifice my weight loss and eat them all. They only wanted the strawberries I cut up and put on the plate with the paczki.
@traceyos given your previous posts I totally read that as Bobby's Booger Palace hahahaha
My sister moved into our childhood home yesterday that has set empty on our farm for 4 years since my parents divorced. She posted a picture looking out the window this morning and I started bawling. It's been so long since that house has been a home. Then I started my period 20 minutes later. Explains the tears. I'm so happy for her.

@traceyos I'm not sure if non-MRSA staph is any different. But Ella is currently on her second round of MRSA in about 6mos so I thought I'd chime in.
We were told by the urgent care doc this time that we were lucky we caught it so soon both times because the longer the staph goes undetected/untreated, the more it can spread and resistant it will be to treatment.
So I would really push for something pregnancy safe to start right away if possible vs. waiting to take the unsafe one to rule out pregnancy.
Ugh. Infections suck.
ETA: Apparently my tapa hadn't refreshed....I see you already called your doctor back to request that. Oops.
@traceyos I would start the antibiotic as prescribed. Not taking the whole prescription or delaying taking it could put your health at risk. Being septic would absolutely put you and your baby at risk. I would treat your infection and not worry about the whatifs at this point. If you get a positive pregnancy test while you are taking the medication, you should then contact your provider at that point for more advice on what to do.
