Monday morning moans

[geauxtigers79]

Good morning ladies!! Let's hear 'em.....


So what I thought was allergies has now turned into what I think is a cold from hell. I remember being like this for my last pregnancy, but I'm reallllllllly hoping this is just a freak cold and will go away soon!

Today is going to be a busy day - have a new employee coming in for orientation this morning and meeting with another builder this afternoon.

Happy Monday!!

[vlagroupie]

Feel better geauxtigers79 colds while ku are the worst.
Afm, I actually pooped this morning, so Monday started off ok lol.

[pibblemom]

My weights already creeping up. I've always been overweight but active, and have struggled to keep my weight under control, and here I am at 5w and 5 lbs up thinking omg I'm going to gain 70 lbs at this rate. Maybe I shouldn't have had that pizza damnit.

[ashtog]

opheliainwaders she's so cute!! Happy birthday sweet little girl!

vlagroupie yay for pooping!

geauxtigers79 I had that last pregnancy- was constantly stuffed up. Fx it's just temporary !

[summergirl1211]

Cute opheliainwaders!

I'm right there with you vlagroupie. Winning!

Yesterday was my last day of progesterone! I'm so excited to be done with the leaky vag and panty liners.

Today is going to be busy at work and I'm SO tired. I hope it goes quickly!

[ashtog]

Afm, h didn't get home from his concert til 2:30am and I sleep like shit while he isn't home, so I'm exhausted! I have another newborn today ( we know what everyone was doing end of August to early September kwim?) I have the evening off though, so that's nice.

[ashtog]

pibblemom mine too! And I really haven't been eating worse or more or worse things- I think it's water retention.

summergirl1211 yay!!

[flcl]

geauxtigers79, I hope you feel better soon. Being KU and sick sucks

opheliainwaders, DD is beautiful! Happy birthday to her

pibblemom, I can sympathize. My stomach never got back to normal after LO and it looks way worse even though I'm just 8w


Today's my last Monday of work before summer break!! I've been feeling so crappy but work is way easier than watching my LO. I'm excited to be done with work but nervous about being sick and watching an active toddler in the hot hot summer....

[heybulldog56]

geauxtigers79, sucks about the cold. Sorry
pibblemom, I second what ashtog said about water retention. I have not changed my diet at all, except for a few random cravings like a burrito for lunch last week. The other day I gained 3lb OVERNIGHT. Two days later, back to my "original" weight. Definitely water. Or a fucking ghost messing with my scale.

[ashtog]

heybulldog56 oh yeah. That ghost made me gain 4lbs in 3 days. When all I've been eating is salad and fruit because constant nausea. Water retention.

Fucking ghost (pardon my potty mouth... but it is quite liberating to type curse words while sitting in a room filled with teenagers who get scolded for using said words in my presence). 

[pibblemom]

heybulldog56 and ashtog, that makes me feel better, because in general I've been eating pretty well.

[geekmama]

Monday morning is usually meal planning and grocery shopping, but I'm so nauseous and exhausted that I can't even decide on a meal plan, much less go to the store. Can. Not. Brain.

[ashtog]

geekmama I can't meal plan either! Nothing sounds good!

[peaseblossom55]

I am so exhausted I did not sleep well at all last night. I'm trying not to sleep on my stomach but it's so hard. We had a u/s this morning and I am being released from my RE! I will really miss it there, but I am excited to move on.

The babies look great, and OMG we saw Baby A waving to us. It was moving it's arms.

[jrun2013]

The nanny twisted her ankle over the weekend so she can't watch DD today or tomorrow, so I took the day off to be with her. This is equally awesome and incredibly stressful at the same time. I've taken so many days off this year and I feel like an awful employee, but there is literally nothing I can do about it. Talk about powerless.

To make matters worse, she texted me this info, which I forwarded to DH. Thinking I was still texting DH, I texted "fuck." Yeah, that text went to the nanny. Oops! I profusely apologized, but the damage was done.

As someone who gained a lot of weight with their last pregnancy, I can tell you that you probably don't have to worry about gaining 70 pounds if you continue to eat healthy. I think weight will slightly fluctuate with water retention, but you'll only gain a lot of you use pregnancy as an excuse to eat whatever you want. Trust me, I know from experience.

[heybulldog56]

peaseblossom55, hooray for being released from RE and HOORAY for seeing the babies this morning! But I am sorry you slept like shit.

[ellabee]

Morning! We had such a non-stop weekend that it almost feels like a nice break to be back in our weekday routine.

I'm working from home today because we have our scan at 2pm. I'm trying to be zen about this appointment. I want to be optimistic, but am still guarding my heart. The last time we went in for a scan, we found out about our MMC, so I'm not really looking forward to being back in this particular office. Time is going to crawl between now and 2 i think...

[peaseblossom55]

ellabee, I hope time goes by fast and everything looks great this afternoon.

heybulldog56, thanks, I wish I could hide and nap somewhere.

[summergirl1211]

FX for you ellabee! I hope you have a great appointment!

peaseblossom55, yay how awesome! I will also miss my RE but was glad to "graduate" as well.

[ashtog]

peaseblossom55 yay that's wonderful news!! And how cool that baby waved at you!

[flcl]

peaseblossom55 woot for the great appointment!! Congrats from being released from the RE

[ashtog]

ellabee I'm crossing my fingers that everything will be great. Today you are pregnant and love your baby. You deserve this baby and just because one pregnancy ended in loss doesn't mean this one will. (((Hugs)))

[heybulldog56]

FX for you ellabee!

[rinny]

ellabee so many fx that everything comes back perfect.

peaseblossom55 congrats on graduating! Glad all is well with the babes!

jrun2013 I don't know if that's necessarily true, I threw up almost every day my last pregnancy and lived on grape nuts for months because that's all I could stomach, and still somehow managed to gain 50 lbs. I think sometimes your body just does what it does. That being said, I lost 30 of it in the first week, because water. ETA: I'm probably just an anomaly, I'm sure if most people watch, they're fine!

[rinny]

Back to work for me! Still have this fucking cold. Can I just sleep for days? I need to recover from my week of sitting and doing nothing, apparently.

That's probably true. Every experience is different. I'm hoping to not repeat my same mistakes as last time, so probably optimistic thinking on my part.

[heybulldog56]

I am so hungry. I am literally counting down the minutes until lunch. I just hope I find my lunch appetizing because I don't have time to run out and get anything else.

[ashtog]

I had the secks yesterday and after orgasm I could feel my ute contracting... Totally painless though. So I decided to try and find it last night and I totally can little Hardish ball above my pelvis! I don't remember feeling all this that early before, but I think my body is like "6th time around? Yeah fuck you. I quit" lol

[ashtog]

heybulldog56 I'm starving too but nothing in my house sounds remotely acceptable. DS is napping so I'm going to nap too and then eat cold leftover rotisserie chicken as early lunch.
