Oh man. I'm on a bitch spree. My BEC friend has been messaging me almost every morning asking me how I am. (She knows I'm pregnant) so I have been giving her evasive answers until just now I basically told her to please stop asking me every fucking day. I am nauseated and hungry at the same time. Want to eat but can't. Etc. I laid it all out for her. I was of course more polite and kind about it, but dear lord leave me alone to wallow in my own misery.
She texts me back. "It's a BOY!"
I am feeling so incredibly stabby that I want it to be a girl just to spite her.
This would enrage me too. My H asks all the time as well and I try really hard not to snap but sometimes it's just "I'm nauseous! Nothing has changed!" I've been irrationally grumpy lately and it's taking all my patience not to snap at him when he's just trying to help and be supportive. But let a girl wallow in her own misery!
I've got to finish packing today for a trip E and I are taking to my moms. We will be up there a week (H is joining us next weekend before we return). I know that might sound like a personal hell to most but my mom is one of my best friends and I so miss living close to my family now that we're 3+ hours away. I've got plans to meet with some old friends, swim in their pool, and do a little shopping.
Let's be honest though, pregnancy nausea and fatigue probably just means I'll get a lot of naps next week but I'm so excited!!!

I have big plans to get shit done this weekend. HA HA HA oh, I crack myself up with "plans." Here's how it will go: I will have a list of things I think can be accomplished, with a little teamwork and joint kid wrangling. My husband will want to do some other perfectly legitimate thing that is more fun and cannot be done unless my list is sacrificed. I'll cave because I like fun and hate being some kind of task master. We'll have a great time, but nothing will be accomplished from my list and I'll be frustrated, even though I have no one to blame but myself.
Repeat for tomorrow.
We did just get a big portable playard, so maybe if Elena is amenable to hangout sessions in there I'll be able to get more done during the week. Otherwise, she wants to eat the vacuum cord and try to get run over by the mop.
(Autocorrect changed fest to feast. Yes. Food is more important that partying, but not in this context.)
Thanks!! This is going down. I'm so nervous. Ah!
Sorry about your friend- my mom has been asking me daily how im feeling now too. So yesturday I messaged her before she asked me and her response was "welcome to pregnancy". Wtf. Don't ask then! Uhh I was annoyed.
Took R to his 18 month appt. it's confirmed. He's a giant. (29.8 lb 35.25")
Oh man! He is big! Landon just turned 18 months yesterday and I'm curious to see how big he is. I need to find a new pedi (we just moved) and schedule that appointment.

I'm having some spotting now. I'm worried but trying to just ignore it. But this with the cramps yesterday and Thursday makes it hard not to be concerned.

My mom was totally my best friend! We spent nearly every day together. Sounds like it's going to be a great week!

im sorry. Try not to spiral on anything and call OB to see what they say.

Holy crap, what a big boy! How big was he at birth, and 12 months? (I'm the resident stats lady on my other BMB. Lol.)
I don't have his check up book with me, but i know he was 7 lb 7 oz at birth. He grew really quickly thereafter. (Which makes sense because he didn't STTN til 11 months. Kid ate around the clock!)

Since I barely was out of bed last weekend, AND one of the local homebrew stores is having a sale, we are picking up grain for my beer and stuff for DH's next one. He wants me to brew today, and he wants to brew tomorrow. I am currently having an aversion to the smell of beer. So I'm not sure this is his best idea. I guess we'll see.

That's definitely very scary. Try to take it easy. Call the OB and put your feet up. FWIW, I know it can be common and I even thought I m/c when I was PG with DD... It's hard not to worry about it, though. Hugs.

I'm supposed to work tonight but I'm on the bottom of the chain of command so I get called off quite a bit. If I do we might go to the beach.
Currently washing laundry and menu planning.
I bought 3 pounds of bacon at a 2 day sale at my local grocery store yesterday. I had a dream last night that DH ate 2 pounds of it. I woke up angry. I checked the fridge right away, luckily it was safe! Lol, don't mess with my bacon.

moutonrouge it's so hard to not worry, even though both cramping and spotting are really common. I second the "put your feet up" rec and follow it with "drink water." I don't know why but water seems to be the answer to most pregnancy discomfort.

Hugs or hair pats, whichever you prefer. First tri is terrifying. I would call the OB if you think she can give you some reassurance. I have had spotting with all my pregnancies and it is truly horrible. My doctor still always has to reassure me that it is very common. Hang in there. We are here for you.

Thanks y'all. I got out of the house for a bit and that helped distract me. Feeling much better now - I appreciate the support and good thoughts!! I called the midwife office and know their protocol now, so good on that front.
moutonrouge it's almost impossible not to worry. I'm thinking of you. I hope the doctor can see you soon.
I survived my run today. I could not have done it without my husband there- he really encouraged me. I did most ostacles and only had a minor fall on my knees. This was the most excersise I've done in probably 2 years. Nap time soon. Then going to see a house at 8pm.

Hang in there! It is so hard not to worry, but some spotting can be very normal. I know it is an anecdote, but I spotted 3+ separate times during first tri with my son (and he is now 15 mos). Thinking of you!
@justinslovo I'm sorry you're dealing with that. First trimester is exhausting enough without cracker-eaters asking persistent and annoying questions. Just stop with the questions already, lady! Also, I had terrible morning sickness for about 10 weeks of my last pregnancy, so everyone was like "OMG, it's a GIRL!" And you know how things actually turned out. I totally get it with wanting this one to be the opposite of what she's saying, just to prove her wrong. I got a lot of satisfaction out of having a boy when everyone said it was going to be a girl.
But... That being said, I'm excited for you to have a little boy, if that's what you're actually gestating. Can we just skip to our anatomy scans already so we can start shopping for winter/spring baby clothes?!
During my last pregnancy, my mother's husband had a "vision" that I would be having a girl. Nothing gave me greater pleasure than telling them it was a BOY! Ahhhh.... I am smiling just thinking about it.
