Thursday, yo.

The background noises in my office are driving me crazy. One CW coughs like she's going to lose her lung, another CW behind her needs her phone fixed so every call is "I can hardly hear you" or "do you speak English?"

I have noise cancelling headphones on and it's not helping.

At least Big Brother is on tonight. I have to clean my stuff out of the nursery tonight, Saturday MH will buy some bins to store the stuff in.

All I can think about tomorrow is jumping into the pool (FINALLY) after work!

Noise cancelling headphones + white noise through the headphones = good combo.

I can handle exactly no noises.  I should walk around in a bubble of white noise until August.

AW'ing my kitchen because I'm so excited! We spent forever last night cleaning up the kitchen. We had to wash everything that was in the drawers that were taken out and put it all back together. But look! So pretty!! Now we just need a new window, backsplash, and handles!

[joy]

So pretty, steph!

[youdontsay]

steph that is gorgeous!!!

joy the headphones help a lot. I don't think people realize how much their voice/bodily functions carry in our office. Oh and sometimes it's karaoke hour here too which is just great....

[hollyberry]

steph, I am so jelly!! That is awesome! Definitely worth awing it up!!!

[joy]

Is fitting food in your body a struggle for anyone else? I'm having a hard time just getting 2 meals in me a day. I try to eat smaller amounts less often, but I'm so uncomfortable that I end up just not eating. I've been like this weeks for now.

[youdontsay]

joy I've been having this problem. I can usually pack food away no problem but now it's my eyes are bigger than my stomach. At least if we go out for dinner I always have leftovers.

I never have a problem with ice cream though lol.

Finally some good news! Our stroller has mostly made it to the store. We are waiting for one more sport seat in the right colour to come in, the sent the wrong colour., but it should be there tuesday! We will pick it up on the 4th! Plus one of the car seats came today, and it is beautiful! A really nice teal colour and it fits in our car! We were not sure if it would after we had to decide not to go with our original plan of buying convertable ones because after measureing them out it wouldn't fit behind my husband when he drives. So now we have carrier ones. I have no idea when the other one will come. ( the website now says 38-40 days delivery time. Even though when we bought it it was available right away) but a good friend of ours said we could borrow hers until it comes! I am so happy. It feels like we are pretty much ready. Well not ready, but we pretty much have the stuff at least!

I can't even fathom going out to eat right now. 

Dinner is a laughable idea most days.  Last night, I had oatmeal and it was a struggle.

I counted my calories from yesterday and it's not a great number. 

[thelorax]

joy yep and then whatever I do eat wants to come back up whenever I bend. I'm trying to just choose healthy options, but all I want is ice cream and fruit. It's just such a magical time!

I really miss being able to just eat a bowl of cereal or nothing at all at dinner, but DD calls me on it now and I have to set a good example or something.

[thelorax]

I've had two 7am conference calls this week. I'm sorry that is just too early.

[youdontsay]

joy I wouldn't stress it, our digestive organs are all out of place right now which probably isn't helping.

Yeah, I was all excited to go to the diner near my mom's house and I usually never had a problem eating a tuna club and a shake. I couldn't even get one quarter of the sandwich down! A couple of hours later I had a little bit more and then threw the rest out.

Last night I had buttered noodles and one bowl was more than enough!

[elm1214]

Unfortunately I'm on the other end of the spectrum of eating. I feel like I'm hungry all the time and I can eat bigger portions than usual. I'm worried my baby is going to be like 15 pounds (especially since DD2 was kind of big).

[hannahbear]

steph that looks amazing!!

[joy]

Okay - thank you! At least I'm not alone!!

Yes. And after I eat, even just a little bit, I feel like I can't breathe.

[dc2london]

If my child's school calls me one more time to remind me that I have to pick up his medication by the end of the day, I am going to scream. YES, I KNOW. I heard you the other 3 times you called. But it's not safe for him to be without an epipen or rescue inhaler, so you are going to have to bloody well wait until closer to the end of the day. I mean, my god.

Why do you have to pick it up?  Last day of school?

I feel you. It's like my stomach stops digesting after breakfast and everything else I way just sits there and hurts. It's a particularly difficult reality to face after measuring small the other day and the doctor bringing up weight gain.

[hollyberry]

elm1214, I am the same as you I think. Now I do get full faster, but after a good amount of food still. I don't eat little portions at a time. And I can pretty much always eat and a like a hour aftet eating I could definitely eat a snack. So you are not completely alone!

[penny2103]

Related: how are people making sure they get enough nutrition? I would happily sip on a cherry limeaid all day but that clearly is not going to get me through the next month and a half.

You should call your doctor. This could be blood sugar or blood pressure related!

Yes.  This sums up my life exactly.

steph your kitchen is gorgeous!!
joy I wish I had a problem eating. I eat too much probably and I've gained too much weight
penny2103 I try and have a protein and veggie for dinner at least. I have protein for breakfast but I lack the want for veggies so DH has been buying me V8 fruit and veggie juice so I get something.

White noise may help baby too so you may stay in that bubble for a while. 😛
