Hump Day Blump Day

[mrscatfarmer13]

Is this thing on? Where is everyone? 

[mrscatfarmer13]

I'm finally catching up. Work has been brutal this week! Last night I went to a NKOTB/BoyzIIMen concert. It was pretty good. Paula Abdul was there too, she kept talking, and her mic was so low you couldn't understand a thing she was saying. It's probably a good thing she didn't open the show.

I was stupid and tried using my doppler.. I'm 9w tomorrow.

3w6d to go until my next appt. I'm so nervous

[leekpartyof2]

I'm at work, pretending to be productive. Counting down until I leave for my first midwife appointment. Then tomorrow DH and I leave for a family vacation in Phoenix. But before we leave, I have what feels like a ton of stuff to do, including laundry, cleaning, a bikini wax, and a meeting about a potential job change opportunity. Let's just say, I'm going to need some relaxing after all of that.

[rooskie]

Today has been fun at work. The TL;DR from the Pregnancy board is that I got offered one job but got told I could apply for a second job with the same title/pay but a different location (still in my city).

Fun stuff.

[rooskie]

I also really just want to go to Target but I have to meet with HR real quick before I can go. And the HR lady is MIA.

I've been sucked into the State of the Forum thread. Sorry! HI!

[veganontuesdays]

I had Panera for lunch while sitting outside and now I feel like a million bucks. I didn't want to come back into work BUT I feel like a million bucks.

notelsie, I had to get rid of my Doppler when I couldn't find E's heartbeat at about 16 weeks. It was only a source of anxiety for me, never comfort.

I still have no blump.

rooskie, different location instead of your offer? I don't understand....

[kensie5226]

veganontuesdays, I got sucked in yesterday...holy wow.

It's still early.  Hugs!

Try in the morning with a full bladder and try it really close to your pubic bone.  In the beginning I could only find it in the morning but now that I know where to look I can find it any time of the day.  But remember, it's still early!!

notelsie, don't be so hard on yourself. You are pregnant until the doctor tells you different.

veganontuesdays I started to read through it, but my eyeballs started bleeding. It seemed like it was going the way of all those types of threads. Personally, I can't get it up enough to care about how right or wrong their business plan may be. If I was financially invested in this place, then sure, otherwise, I'm team KOKO, until they start pulling some shady TD shit.

rooskie I just got back from a Target run on lunch. Last night my OB office called to tell me, my urine says I have a UTI (with no symptoms), so I had to pick up my RX. I took the opportunity to stock up on snacks for my desk.

[cakewench]

I can't seem to keep my eyes open today. And I have stuff that needs to get done at work... Blah.

I had lunch with an old classmate due in October. My blump may be bigger than her bump...

OB visit tomorrow. Antsy in the pantsy but hoping for the best.

I work for a Fortune 500 with like 80 locations in the US. They gave me two plants now that are driving distance but a 6 hour drive each way so I would work as a remote employee most of the time. But I can apply to have two plants in my metro area with no travel.

I got my first pairs of maternity pants today!

I can still deal with my jeans ok, but the waistbands on my sweats and leggings are killing me so I bought some from ASOS, plus a pair of joggers that are work-appropriate. I feel like it's really early for this, but I've got the leggings on now and ahhhhhhhh.

I am so freaking tired today. H has been working really late the past few nights, so I've been doing all the toddler duties by myself and then staying up way too late watching TV.

DS climbed into our bed sometime last night and did not want to wake up this morning. He finally woke up when he heard me saying, "We have to go to school!" just so he could whisper, ".....No." Even when he's half asleep, No is still his favorite word.

This is us lately too. H is trying to secure a job so we can move out of state this summer, and he's working or training every night. I'm sure he's exhausted too, but this is brutal during 1st tri. DS misses his daddy too.

Being pregnant makes me super aware of weird things my body might be doing. Anyone else feel like your uterus is throbbing? I know it's gradually expanding, but sometimes I feel like there's a bigger baby moving around in there.

I'm trying to tell myself it's all normal. My anxiety over the last few days hasn't been great.

At home today with DD. Took a nap with her this AM. I'm hungry but nothing sounds good.

The worst! I miss food being good. Lol

[notelsie]

Anyone else still getting that metallic taste in your mouths?

I'm having trouble drinking water. It's just so gross all of the sudden. I'm a teacher and my classroom was over 90 degrees today. Then a student threw up and I was struggling not to.

We went to sprouts and I have wanted sushi so bad so I got a veggie roll, which is quite unsatisfying! I love spicy tuna and this was so bland. I guess I have ginger in hand now, though. Then I tried Ramen soup. Bleh. But DD liked it

+1 on not liking water right now. I'm still trying to get around 90oz per day but but I'm forcing it down. I use to be over a gallon a day.

I miss soda so much.

notelsie - on my list of questions to ask tomorrow is "is it normal that I have such severe gas it feels like a 7 month old fetus kicking me?" Because that's what I'm working with over here. No throbbing uterus but plenty of other weirdness.

rooskie - I had a coke slushie yesterday and it was amazing. I lay off the diet soda with a rare (like once a tri) treat, but I'll let myself have the normal sugary kind now and again.

I'm down to one Diet Coke or so a week. Like, tomorrow when it comes with my combo for lunch. They keep our fridge at work stocked so it can be hard some days to resist. Especially when I'm struggling with sleep.

It's so awful! I had it weeks 4&5 and now it's suddenly back with a vengeance. It lingers after I eat anything at all, and makes me feel sick.
