I'm currently lying in bed waiting for DD to go from talking to whining in her crib, and trying to convince myself I'm not nauseous.
Usually DH works until midnight so will wake up and help with DD by 8-830 (currently 7am here), but last night he got home around 330 so I have to someone survive much longer alone with this kid..who was up 130-3 last night. Don't know what's gotten into my (formerly) good sleeper, but she chose one heck of a time to stop!
I'm actually considering telling my parents I'm pregnant sooner than planned so I can get some sympathy help from my mom haha

This is me at this exact moment as well. I keep wishfully thinking he will snooze for another few minutes, but he is sitting up and the whining is increasing in volume. Blerg. Happy Friday!!
I'm home with my kiddo today, and basically bare minimum parenting. Currently feeding him Cheerios from the couch while he's watching sesame street. The spotting has slowed, which is fantastic, but I'm also still nauseated. I really want second tri to get here, or better yet, March, and be snuggling a healthy new squish!

mikaela20, no thank you to baking in the sun on the beach during first tri. Maybe you can suggest a restaurant on the beach in the shade that has a nice beach view instead?!
Got to work early because its the last day of close. My boss said if we finish early (we submit our numbers to Group which is in the UK and 5 hours ahead) that we can leave early. My goal is noon but I am sure something will blow up and I'll be here all day.
BFP #1 December 2012 - MMC January 2013, D&C February 2013 BFP #2 October 2014 - DD arrived July 16, 2015 BFP #3 July 2016 - MC @ 9 weeks August 2016 BFP #4 Due January 2, 2018 - Please stick baby!

I know, right? I've never been to this beach she is taking me to so I'm not sure of patios but if there are any, I'm sure going to suggest it.
I'm trying to prepare for it- need to get a good shade hat and maybe those beach umbrellas. She is so excited to take me to this beach, I don't want to ruin her plans. But the thought is not enticing me for tomorrow.
ladytiffany24, I'm currently making chocolate chip waffles so yay chocolate! And you bet I'm giving DD one. I remember the days of mildly judging friends who gave their toddlers junk food. Now? "Chocolate? Complete crap? If it makes them chill the F out, I don't care!"
...And DD is now sitting in her high chair taking 1 toy at a time, staring at me, and dropping it on the floor. And then she says (which I taught her..it was cute at the time), "Ey, Ey, Ey"...You said it, kid. (I don't know how to spell it but basically she's sighing at me and saying "ugh, life")
Ugh. The nausea was bearable the last 2 days but I am paying for it this morning. I really hope this doesnt become an all day thing because I am so far behind on housework that I cannot get any further. I really wish I lived near my mom right now.
Morning! I am waiting on pins and needles to see if the contractors come back to finish up the work today. Also doing laundry before our trip.
I have an appointment for bloodwork this afternoon. DH pointed out they're testing me for HIV, which the pamphlet tells me is routine. Seems unnecessary but oh well.
Good morning! I'm heading to NJ today to visit family for the weekend. I love them but I'm not looking forward to chasing my toddler around a non-childproofed house with a pool. I'm not sure if I'll be around much so I hope you all have fantastic weekends!
DD is now in the tub, because it keeps her entertained. She doesn't reallllly need the bath, so I'm debating if I'm even going to use soap and the energy to scrub her. She might just be playing in the tub for a while...and I don't even care!

Ohhhh where are you going?
To my parent's lakehouse. It's pretty remote/rustic so it's not a super glamorous trip but I like it there. Hopefully the weather is nice - it's in northern Idaho so it can be chilly if the sun doesn't come out. I've already been asked if DH and I want the twin beds or the queen bed (DB and his GF will get whatever we don't choose) so that's how you know it's not a fancy trip, haha.
Good morning ladies! Can I just say, I love this group?! It makes me feel SO much better about the survival parenting I have been doing lately. Tomorrow we are hosting a little get together for my husbands extended family that lives around the state. His dad and step-mom are in town and have some relatives that we don't really know well coming to our house as a meeting place. As I said in the first US thread, DH also wants to tell all of these random people that we are expecting again. Totally uncomfortable for me since we have yet to see anything.

desirrek, Have you explained to him exactly why you DON'T want to tell them all yet? I'd hope he would be understanding of this. I get that he's excited but if it makes you uncomfortable, I'd encourage him to not do it yet.

Yeah I definitely have. He is leaving it up to me ultimately but I feel bad about how excited he is to tell his dad in person. We won't see his dad again until Thanksgiving so I get it. It's a tough spot. I am hoping we can figure out a way to pull his dad aside and tell him in more of a secret manner.
I've been procrastinating on finding a new doctor because I'm really nervous about not finding one I like. I need to stop my little pity party over not having midwives and get on with it but I had such a great experience last time that I'm worried about having to fight to have the type of care I want.

I just went through this exact thing. It is so hard to find a good doctor, especially when you had a great one in the past! Do you have anyone who can give you recommendations? I was not shy about basically asking every mom I met in our new town who their doctor was. I ended up finding a great one that I love!
desirrek, I've asked the handful of people I know who had babies here who they had. Unfortunately only one person had a good recommendation. My other friends either had bad experiences, needed to see specialists, or didn't have their babies in our current city (most of my friends are also military spouses so we've had babies across the country but not necessarily where we are now).

Ughh. Just when I was starting to worry a little less about Zika, I read this morning that there are now several cases in Illinois. I'm not sure how they were all transmitted but it still hits too close to home. I'm buying bug spray on my lunch break and am going to wear it anytime I'm outside. I'm so freakin paranoid!

Face time! That's how we told my MIL when I was pregnant with DD
