DS is a monster today and it's only like 9am. DH is at work and my dad is visiting but he's still asleep. I'm tired and DS keeps grabbing my nipples (not intentional just by default) and they are super sore so ouch!!! This week is going to be hell because on top of teaching and testing all week, I direct the 5th grade musical and the performance is this week. I can't barely keep my eyes open by dinner time and somehow I have to stay up for dress rehearsals and performances.
We might be moving out of state before this baby gets here. I'm so overwhelmed.
We just can't afford to live where we are now, but there are so many factors involved with moving. It makes me sad to think of leaving my life and friends, but I'm terrified to try to figure out new insurance/OB/hospital/etc.

I'm in bed with the bout of morning sickness that started yesterday afternoon. DH is making me pancakes and I hope they help me feel a little more human.
bradysalon - sorry DS is being difficult this morning. Break all the legs during tech week and your performances this weekend! What's the musical?
notelsie - LT for hugs. Making the best decision for your family is not always the easiest. We're all here to support you!
leekpartyof2 and rooskie - add me to the super tired/nauseous club. Going to a very late show of Guardians last night probably didn't do me any favors. I really just want to stay in bed today. I need to go get chicken into the crockpot, hopefully by dinner time I will feel like eating it...
I'm ready to be far enough along to use my Doppler when my brain won't shut up. What's the earliest generally?
I can't find my Doppler since the move and am thinking about buying another one. My Dr was able to find the hb on Doppler at 8 weeks and change and then I was able to as well with DS but that is really early. Maybe 10 weeks is reasonable to expect?

We had swim class this morning, then I took DS to the zoo. Thankfully he fell asleep in the car and stayed asleep while we went inside. We both napped for like 2.5 hours.
Is a Doppler worth getting? If so, brand recommendations?
It was worth it to me while pregnant with DS. I made sure to only use it when I was paranoid and for a short amount of time. It really helped calm me to hear his HB.
I'll have to check the brand name. I can't remember off the top of my head.

I believe some people have found it as early as 8w but that is really rare. If you can wait until 9-10 weeks, try then. It still took me about 3 days before I found it at almost 10 weeks.
Is a Doppler worth getting? If so, brand recommendations?
I liked having one to help relieve some fears. That being said, sometimes the baby doesn't cooperate and it can be difficult to find the heartbeat which can then spark some more fears. Some people get them. Some people don't bother. I think it will be a personal choice.

I'm doing the least today...aside from going out for lunch, I haven't left the house or my pajamas. The rain was so loud last night it woke me up at 2am pounding on the roof and dripping incessantly down into our heaters...so I blame my extra tiredness today on that. This week at work is gonna be crazy busy so I'm not really looking forward to tomorrow.
First appointment is in the morning! I'm so nervous!
Skyping with the ILs tonight and they asked if DD wanted a little brother for her birthday next week. We're not telling them until Mother's Day as long as everything checks out ok at my appointment. I felt like they could tell we were trying to change the subject. Don't try to ruin our surprise ILs!

I hope your appt goes well! Too funny about your ILs! They are going to be surprised!
notelsie - we moved from Manhattan last summer (after 15 years) mostly for financial reasons, but also some personal in the process (to be closer to family). There has not been a day that has gone by that I regret the decision. Our whole family is so much happier, we finally have a positive net worth, we own our home, my job is so much less intense, and we've made wonderful new friends and reconnected with old friends of mine from high school as well.
It sucked leaving our friends in NY. We went to college there. We lived there our entire adult life. But our friends are still our friends, and they come visit when they can. The con of leaving our friends has been well outweighed by all of the other pros.
Good luck! I'm happy to talk this one through anytime. For us, almost every day we think "why didn't we do this sooner?" It's been that enriching to our lives.

Flying when early pregnant sucks. I threw up in the Vegas airport yesterday, not because of partying. I managed to hold my composure during turbulence and a long taxi and we were in the back all the way until the bathroom, which was impressive. Dh thought I was going to lose it.
After a 12 hr day of traveling yesterday, I'm exhausted. I do not want to parent alone this morning. I want to go get Starbucks. Plus DD is fulll of sass and tantrums already. Just 45 mins until drop off and then I'll get coffee on the way to work.

We had awful turbulence last week on our flights. It was not fun at all.
If it makes you feel better I've puked on the tram in the Vegas airport. It was food poisoning.

This is very encouraging, thank you! It's just a lot while pregnant. I just hope we can work everything out so I'm not paranoid about insurance or where I'm delivering.
notelsie - from what I can tell, if you're going to a lower cost area, it will hopefully be easier to get in. I know people have trouble in Manhattan getting into an OB practice if they aren't already a GYN patient of the practice, but that's unheard of down here. Hopefully where you end up it will be a peace of cake, with lovely providers.
