Monday Randoms 7/20

What's up M'16? Quiet bunch today. Staying cool in this heat is a struggle.

[blackbird]

I got sea bands this morning and so far they seem to be helping.


...or it might have been the Sonic ched-r-peppers I got on the way. It's hard to say.

Huh. I've never tried sea bands but might have to give them a go. I am barely functional at this point and prone to random gagging. It's making my daily meeting presentations even more lovely than before. Nothing like the constant fear of public vomiting to keep you on your toes.

I feel so infinitely worse than yesterday. I am struggling to focus on work. Also work is causing me some anxiety because of scheduling and they want me to come more to the office/see clients and I don't want to. I can't wait until I can tell them I am Preg, because I think they will back off (the reason for the more trips is so I can cover for someone while she is on maternity leave, but our leaves will overlap so I don't really think they are going to go with this option when they find out I'm pregnant).

Also, I feel like trying to plan a meal in advance is the most pointless thing ever, because it inevitably makes me want to vomit.

basically, I am just in a terrible mood and am super cranky.

Just exhausted today and don't want to be at work.

This. Grocery shopping is pure torture at this point bc I buy stuff that sounds good at the time, but then I get home or ready to cook, and I want nothing to do with it.

+1 Majorly struggling over here and very cranky.

I had such a rough time this morning with eating breakfast- I made myself these cute omelet muffins to have for breakfasts this week and when I went to eat them this morning, no go. I'm upset because I feel like I wasted food, even though I know my H will eat them. My effort to eat extra protein in the morning clearly failed miserably.

We havent told our families yet, but may this weekend. My H wants to wait until after the first appointment, but I want to tell my grandmother in person when she visits next week, which would mean telling my mother first.

[katespade]

I'm also just tired, and totally lacking ambition to be at work. I'd rather be on my couch napping with my cats.

[SheilaTheTank]

I just made a pig of myself on stuffed shells. I still want more.

The OB repeated a billion times to eat for one, but I'm soooooo hungry.

I got a salad as well and ate that first so winning?

Sea Bands are awesome. They even come in a lovely shade of purple in the pregnancy section at Target if you're into something besides black or gray. I've started taking 100 mg of B-6 at night in hopes that I can ward off the 24-7 nausea I had with LO #1.

I think they were the same price as the other colors at my Target - around $8.50.

Hows this for random... one of my employees came to tell me today that she's pregnant, and due at the end of Feb!!! I just stood their in shock b/c i wanted to tell her. I now have 3 pregnant employees.... something in the water??

I just googled these sea bands! reviews seem inconclusive, but for 9 bucks it's worth a shot. I'm not sick yet but if this pregnancy is anything like the last one... 

No Sonic around here I don't think (Canadian!), so I'm hoping it was the sea bands.

Even sitting on the couch feels like an exhaustive amount of work. Back to the pillow fortress I built on the bed

[zombiesquad]

My doctor suggested snacking on nuts throughout the day to curb my nausea. Nuts make me bloated. I'm trying to decide if I'd rather feel like I'm going hurl or have terrible gas and bloat. The gas and bloat right now are not pleasant. I'm not sure there's a clear winner.

sorry you are not feeling well. Regarding the meal.  I ended up through some chicken in the crock pot this morning.  Let's see how it turns out when I get home. Hope you feel better soon. Try to pack small snacks. I always have a snack bag.

I've been feeling super bloaty too. I am snacking all the time.  I have a snack bag that I carry with me, even when I wasn't KU.  In my bag I have granola bars, dried fruit, mixed nuts, to-go peanut butter, and other random stuff.  It is helpful. Hope you feel better soon.

I slept in this morning (glorious!), dicked around on the internet, and eventually dealt with my floors - 2 rounds of dry mopping before I could wet mop. Hooray for no more dog hair after petsitting for a friend this weekend!

Then I started working on my dad's retirement video...while DH cleaned all of our windows. A part of me feels guilty...but another part doesn't. He says I owe him blow jobs. I say those aren't happening until the likelihood of me puking is decreased. I think that's a valid argument.

[SheilaTheTank]

Starting to regret the stuffed shells. So much heart burn.

[ironmom]

Today was my long day at work, and it was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Technology was just not my friend. And I lost a contact in the freezer and had to drive home like a pirate.

Now I feel so sick. My kid is getting ALL the screen time tonight. MOTY.

[ironmom]

Also, despite the fact that I can't even keep down seltzer, I feel like if I don't get pommes frites with vinegar and ketchup RIGHT NOW, I will never again feel joy.

[arbe]

When it's that kinda day but you're pregnant....
Edit: Image fail. I got non alcoholic beer

That sounds really yummy right now. And I'm not normally a ketchup person. 

Also, boo to a shitty day at work and having to drive home like a pirate. I say put your feet up, throw a movie pr whatever in for the kiddo, and relax. 

[calgal]

I feel like I have BO all the time. I'm tired of smelling myself. I need new perfume.

Malt vinegar and ketchup together will change your life. I asked my husband to go get me frites, and he's all, "blah blah it's in Brooklyn, blah blah two hours away, blah blah."

I literally LOL every time I see/hear "blow job". In my M'13 group we were talking about Father's Day one year and what to get all the dads. A joke was made that on Mother's Day all we ever get is flowers. Somehow that turned into us getting them "man flowers" which then turned into our code word for blow jobs.

TMI ahead:
Nausea has been the least of my worries for the last week or so. Everything I eat gives me diarrhea right now. Like, makes me sweat because it cramps so bad (and I have to stay scrubbed in, so no relief unless I'm between cases). It's been a nightmare.

So sorry. I had that with DD. It only lasted two weeks. Hopefully it will be short lived for you too.

Pssshht...2 hours? Totally worth it to make your wife happy after a shit-tastic day.
