Monday Monday! (Randoms)

[mrssqueegy]

Where is everyone?

[teraiin]

I'm here! Just tired and lazy.

I have about a million and a half things on my to-do list and will likely only get a few of them done. Not entirely because I'm lazy but because it's a lot of tricky things.

[k3am]

We have DD's PET scan today. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

[mrssqueegy]

Good luck k3am!

I'm in Chicago in my hotel room. I should get up and go for a walk before heading to my conference. I'm feeling so lazy though.

[shadesofgold]

teraiin, hope you're able to tick off a few of those tricky to-dos.

k3am, good luck at the appointment today!

mrssqueegy, I adore Chicago. If you're having good weather, it is such a fun city to walk around. The Chicago Cultural Center is gorgeous and they have a great art museum. Hope you feel energized enough to see a bit!

As for me, I'm feeling blah but was able to choke down an egg wrap with spinach this morning. It felt like a huge victory.

[k3am]

mrssqueegy, hotels for work trips are the best.

[Well, to clarify, hotels for work trips when you work for a real company are the best. Right out of college I traveled 100% of the time, and stayed in really "awesome" hotels like the Sands Inn, where having a door that closed entirely was just a plus]

[k3am]

I'm waiting for pills to kick in so I can eat.

[starfishy]

Good luck k3am

I took today off. Being so lazy and it's very nice. My cat loves that I have the day off too. I'm going go grab a a egg and cheese too since right now that tastes good and it stays in my stomach okay.

7 weeks today! Feeling pretty awful today.

Started feeling bad yesterday afternoon and it's continued to today. I'm sure the huge change in weather has not helped. Morning sickness has kicked my butt today. And my boobs hurt so freaking bad.

Also, it's not raining today. And tomorrow is supposed to be sunny. A miracle.

[teraiin]

Thanks shadesofgold.

I got one thing done (budget request for 2016) but had to argue with a co-worker. My boss is on vacation but she told me very clearly she wanted it on her desk by this Wednesday, October 7th. My boss won't be back until the 16th. My co-worker was saying that my boss was wrong, after all, she won't be able to check it on Wednesday anyway. I eventually said I didn't really care but that I had both verbal and in writing, with the deadline being Wednesday. Therefore, I did it. Will she probably not read it until the 16th? Probably, but a due date is a due date...

[emc]

Same old same old here. Morning sickness is kicking my ass. I stayed up until 10 last night and I'm regretting it. I am tired. Kind of a downer, here.

[kateisoptimistic]

nothing exciting over here, i am flying out to CA early tomorrow morning for work and need to get a ton of things done before then, but yet i am still here procrastinating.

[ellesea]

I have a head cold which seems to make the gagging so much worse. I pretty much spent my morning trying not to gag over everything. It was awful. I wasn't even nauseous. Yawning, looking at food, thinking of eating or drinking anything all resulted in major gagging. It's pretty much passed now.

[starfishy]

ellesea the gagging is awful for me too. I'll really sit and think about how I'm feeling and my stomach is fine but my gag reflex is on over drive. So crazy.

[graysweater]

I am here. We were on vacation the last few days. Back at work today and actually feeling better than I have in days.

[Deleted]

I just got home from getting my blood work. I got it done at the hospital instead of at the doctors office in hopes that since they don't need to be transported anywhere I will get the results more quickly. But that's probably just wishful thinking.

I'm so incredibly bloated today and it hurts even with a stretchy waistband. Ugh. So glad I'm home the rest of the day! Though I still have to clean, which I'm not so much looking forward to. But at least tonight should be fun. Something to look forward to.

[teraiin]

Someone signed up for my class that starts in 40 minutes.

I don't know what but this drives me nuts. I have the schedule up a month in advance and you demand to get in minutes before.

It's not like it takes that much effort for me to get another copy of the handout I just get annoyed by the "of course you'll fit me in" attitude lol

[nepatsgal]

I'm here even though I slacked on posting last week. DS and I went to a play date this morning. Then I came home and started cleaning, which has been long overdue. I can actually see the floor now. I'm feeling slightly productive and that I succeeded in being a good house wife today.

[fishbulb]

Guys - I'm almost 10 weeks and the nausea is going away! Fingers crossed this isn't temporary.

Food stuff:
I just spent my lunch hour looking at Cajun/creole recipes. Now I want to make some macque choux.

[ellesea]

Woo hoo fishbulb I hope it stays away!

nepatsgal my family room is such a mess but I don't care because I'm sick and DS has been occupying himself while I try to rest!

[snoris]

GL k3am!

I took today off too starfishy. I am glad you are getting some rest! My kitties are glad I'm home too.

ETA: yayyyy fishbulb!  I'm right behind you, I am praying this will be true for me too!

I woke up with the craaaaziest vertigo - I'm calling it that because it was different than my normal pre-fainting/low blood pressure dizziness, but it could have quite possibly been the reason. I did black out a bit when I had my morning puke fest, but didn't go unconscious so that was good. I got all ready for work and drove in with H, but still didn't feel better in the half hour drive so I called in and came home. I took back roads all the way through the city so I could pull over easily if my dizziness was too bad. I definitely shouldn't have been driving. I am made nauseous by everything I consume today and I took a three hour nap. I've got to pick H up from work in a little while, the dizziness is gone thank goodness, then we have to rush out to the college he works at (45 min away) just to sign one measly little paper... it must be done today and can't wait until he goes there to work on Wendesday...

How are you ladies doing with helping out around the house and things? I am doing extremely poorly and H is biting his tongue but beginning to be frustrated with me since he works non-stop (and he does, he's a machine). I can't decide if I'm being a lazy piece of poo or if my exhaustion/lack of motivation is a pregnancy thing or an autoimmune thing or both??? I've been sure to thank him and verbalize my appreciation, but this morning he told me he doesn't need thanks he needs help I don't know if I can do it but there is nothing I want more than to make H proud of me. He is super duper understanding, I just don't know what is wrong with me to explain it to him. Thoughts/Insights?

[k3am]

snoris, I make it a point not to contribute to mess. I do the bare minimum to get by. Cleaning up after DD is another story... I've really let stuff slide with her.

[snoris]

A good compromise k3am. I could absolutely do better at picking up my little station every time I get up to pee or something. It's really not that messy. I've had the thought multiple times - I have NO CLUE how some of your are doing this with LO's at home. Maybe I haven't gotten my Mommy superpowers yet, but I have no idea how you do it - bless you all.

[ellesea]

snoris I clean up on days that I'm feeling mostly okay. I usually have a few a week. I try not to stress over the mess in between. DH is really understanding, I'm convinced he doesn't even see the mess. lol

I generally feel better when I am keeping busy so I like to get out at least once a day. Except for today, I'm not even changing out of my pj's.

[Ruca]

Ok so I have a really silly question... My DD is May 20th and that's based on LMP. I feel though that I O'd on August 31st (only based on EWCM) which would put me at May 23rd. I asked the nurse about this on our phone consult and she said they only change DDs if it's different by weeks.... Should I just stop trying to split hairs and go by LMP?? What would you do?? Thanks for hearing me out haha

it's only a difference of 3 days. I would just go with whatever your doctor is going by. It's pretty standard to not change it unless it's more than a week off.

[emc]

snoris, I'm doing pretty much zero to contribute to the household right now. I managed to a few loads of laundry this weekend. I can't even go in the kitchen right now or I'm sick. My husband has been very understanding. He's encouraged me to rest when I'm home so that I can struggle through work.

[snoris]

Ruca, agree with @led. I just mentioned this in another thread, but technically my baby's growth was 2 days "behind" at my 8W u/s but OB said it's not worth changing the EDD. I wonder if baby will "catch up" for the next one? I am thinking this is all very flexible so go with your doc.

[Ruca]

Thanks @led and snoris

[westiemom]

I'm here! I'm exhausted today! I had big productive plans but no thanks.
