Happy MD! (Randoms)

[Sparkly]

Happy Mother's Day ladies!

I know we have many STMs+ in the group, I hope your littles celebrate & spoil you like you deserve today! I hope that, like me, you don't have to change any poopy diapers today (yes, that's what I asked for, lol).

To all the FTMs, Happy Mother-to-be Day! Mother's Day takes on a new meaning for you now, and I hope you celebrate and enjoy that.

[icequeen]

I'm out taking a long walk with DD this morning. Of all days for her to wake up early, why today?! Boo. Im really looking forward to brunch today bc I actually have an appetite!

[pineappledeelight]

My dog just wished me a happy Mother's Day with a good morning face lick! And MH wished me a happy Mother's Day I guess by not wiping her paws after letting her outside!! So now there is some lovely puppy art all over the bed. Geeeez.

[dizzycooks]

I think dh is letting me sleep in right now and I know he just changed a poopy diaper Sparkly I may need to ask for that on the future! He's making breakfast (normal for the weekend) and then his parents are coming to spend the day; oh joy... Read sarcasm.

[mrsoscarfelix]

I'm still laying in bed while my H and puppy snore. I'm just sitting here in the silence thinking how thankful I am to be here! We are headed to MILs today for breakfast and then H has to go to work, so I plan on just relaxing the rest of the day!

[peaseblossom55]

Happy Mother's Day everyone! It exciting to know I get to celebrate next year!

[Sparkly]

Home from brunch and a quick visit with the other ILs. I'm taking a nap now! Or, actually playing on TCF a bit, then reading until I fall asleep. DD napped in the car on the way home but maybe she'll take a second nap with me later on.

I was a little bitchy to my H at one point during brunch and feel kind of bad...but only because MIL was clearly being judgey about it. Look lady...if you only knew...

[ruthgoose]

Also just got back from lunch, we have his family coming over today for a cookout. I wish I was further along so we could tell them but aw well, it can wait a few weeks.

The puppy gave me a nice good morning hello so that's my Mother's Day joy. H also wrote me a nice note from the puppy and "the little one in your belly" ha.

Belly is a weird word.

We considered telling our family today, but decided to wait until I'd had at least one appointment, and hopefully ultrasound.

I fake drank a mimosa at brunch and passed on the prosecco at my FIL's after, claiming "too many" mimosas

Haha well played. And I agree I really want some evidence we are progressing normally before telling anyone.

We celebrated Mother's Day with my husbands family yesterday and my sil congratulated me and so did my nieces and my nephew. Mil spilled the beans. I'm kind of upset that they know because now I feel like my siblings should know too. We are going to announce to my family tonight by putting ds in a big brother shirt. I feel ridiculous announcing so early. I'm bummed that mil put me in a weird predicament.

I'm sorry, that stinks. I really get annoyed when people feel the need to blab about news that isn't theirs, that's not right

Speaking of random, every time I see this thread I think "Happy Maryland!"

I agree. I didn't tell mil not to say anything because I figured she would know better.

This was the deciding factor in not telling early. Do not trust MIL to keep her mouth shut and definitely don't want the whole world to know for quite some time.

This is my exact situation as well. MIL would never keep it to herself so she won't know until we're good with the word being out in general. I hope the next few weeks are busy and that we don't have to have a bunch of get togethers, though. It is not going to be easy to hide the bloat and my discomfort for all things food.

[hoopoe]

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!

I'm spending this rainy cold day nauseous on my couch, eating Cheez-its while watching Bridesmaids. Am I in college again? (That's a reference to the Cheez-its!) I love Bridesmaids so much. Rebel Wilson is brilliant, as is the entire cast.

Perfect comfort food/movie/couch.

H got me a new orchid and a card for my first unofficial mother's day. I'm trying to study it's so hard when all I want to do is sleep. It's crazy. I considering a nap.

[Sparkly]

I just took a 2 hour nap with DD! It was glorious. She will be up late but oh well.

[peaseblossom55]

Sparkly The nap sounds wonderful. I tried to nap but nausea and being thirsty won out. It's an early night for bed though for sure.

[Sparkly]

itsmeally, I forgot to tell you! Yesterday I found a new kind of Pellegrino at Target! It's melograno e arancia (pomegranate & orange). It's really good. The blood orange is still my fav I think.

ETA: I just looked up their site and they have so many more flavors! I want them all!

Today was a pretty good day, other than me losing my credit card after brunch. FUUCCKKKKKK! Pregnancy brain is in full force, y'all. I am seriously so annoyed and upset right now. And that doesn't help when I have the worst nausea yet, and didn't get to nap as long as I wanted today. It's actually DH's birthday today too, and he let me sleep for two hours this morning after I came home from our walk, and I didn't even make it to church because I was just wiped out and running to the bathroom thinking I would throw up. I forced myself to go to lunch at a Mexican restaurant and now regret that too because it probably exacerbated my diarrhea. Sorry for TMI y'all, I am just a hot mess.

Sparkly, I need to find those waters, they sound amazing! I wonder if Walmart has them, I'll have to check tomorrow. I don't think they have flavored ones, though.
peaseblossom55, I actually still consider being pregnant a legitimate reason to celebrate mother's day. Two mother's days ago I felt like I was a mom because i was taking care of the baby inside me. This may be an UO, I guess. I'm glad you got a sweet card and were treated to a great day!
ilovewine, WTF to your MIL. I can totally empathize with your frustration. We skyped with my MIL and the whole time I was pretty much off screen rolling my eyes and glaring.

I found them on amazon icequeen! Some flavors and some are available with prime shipping or subscribe & save! There's a coupon you can clip too! I'm ordering like 4 flavors with my next S&S shipment. This will be my treat now. It's still cheaper than booze!

Ooooohhhhhhh. I will have to add this to DH's next amazon order!

icequeen, my DH isn't getting nearly what yours is! 

Sparkly, are these drinks super carbonated? The bubbles give me heartburn city, but am willing to try something besides plain old water.

Also. DS was resting earlier and a I totally lurked TB.  I spent a lot of time there when I was trying for DS and boy has it changed. I'm so glad I found this board and you ladies!

it's a sparkling fruit beverage. It's like orangina, have you had that? It's not as carbonated as soda I guess but it is a carbonated beverage.

I've been lurking TB too. I have never been an active member there, but of course found that community first when TTC. I'm so glad I was able to follow the breadcrumbs over here!
