Weekend Randoms- we made it!

[mikaela20]

Of course I can't sleep in on the first chance I get.

I've been suffering from headaches all week. I've tried not to take alot, but usually had to take at least one regular Tylenol a day. A friend sent me an article that linked Tylenol to autism. Just what I needed to read after a week long headache.

I'm here. Was up by 7am thanks for DD.

H got home from his trip yesterday. We had some pretty bad sex last night. We were both super tired and not really into it. Oh well.

[kristhegirl]

Up. Don't want to be. Can't fall back asleep. Womp.

[mikaela20]

ladytiffany24 at least you tried, high five!

I'm still going on over 2 weeks now? I lost count. I'm going to try to get in the mood tonight. Still have zero drive though, what the heck.Will it ever come back?

[mikaela20]

I'm always confused by when second tri starts - is it 13 or 14 weeks? I'm going to struggle with this pregnancy math the whole time, I just know it.

I've seen it go both ways but I asked my doctor at my appointment Monday and she counts the start of week 13 as second tri and right now I could really use the mental boost that I'm out of first trimester and should be feeling better any day now

Oh really! I've been in second tri this whole week! I will celebrate with you.
My H is still sleeping and I want to go out for breakfast NOW.

H worked a double shift overnight last night, which meant I got the bed to myself and DD slept through the night, 7pm-630am! She always sleeps better when I'm home alone; I think I wake up less so there's less noise in the house in general to wake her up.

I woke up earlyish b/c I got a decent night's sleep, so I was able to straighten my hair and get my makeup on before H got home. Yesterday he couldn't get over how big my butt has gotten (great...my hips/butt are expanding before anything else this time), which he loves, so at least that makes me feel more attractive. We're heading to Maine today to celebrate my Grandpa's birthday. I'd love to tell everyone we're having #2, but I'm just not ready until the NT scan in a couple weeks.

Happy weekend everyone!

[ladytiffany24]

kaits8 last week, H said to me "your extra curves really turn me on." At first I wasn't sure if I should take it as a compliment but then I kind of flipped my hair and was like, yea, I look damn good. Lol

OMG no, I'm sure your friend means we'll but you really don't have to worry about every little thing. Baby will be fine of you take Tylenol here and there.

Last time it came back in a big way in early second tri. Then left again in late third....

Then it came back like 3 days after birth. Hormones are weird.

This morning around 4 DH woke me up to say he loved me and was going to work. He never does that and it woke me up to much Togo back to sleep. I finally drifted off right as DS was waking up. Joy.

[Quinstar]

So my mother is having a mid-life crisis. She hasn't even closed on her own divorced-forced sale of her own home, and she and my brother have put an offer on a 684 acre place right near us. It's great for cattle, which is what they want to do but... They found out about the property on Monday, saw it on Thursday, and put an offer on it that day. It feels a little fast.

The plan is that my brother would move out next year, after working on the dump of the house, and run 35 head of my uncle's cattle for him.

It's just... They have never owned, managed or even fed cattle. They're banking on my DH, and by extension, my MIL to help them figure it all out.

There's a lot more to go into, but I guess I just feel a little pre-stressed by the actuality that they might be coming out here. They've always talked about it, but they don't take advice well, they think they know everything and it'll be easy, and they refuse to understand it's more complicated and a lot less profitable than they think. People are failing and losing their farms/ranches out here.

TLDR; My mother and brother are trying to buy a ranch and has no frigin idea how to run one. Cue DH to have to teach them everything, and they aren't very teachable.

I wonder if Brock Turner's family will have a fun barbeque for him this weekend to celebrate the end of his *three months* in jail. Or maybe whisk him out of the country to get away for a while.

I keep trying to suck in my gut and it's not working. Guess I'm getting a real bump now.

I'm in the exact same position I think. But I'm in denial that it's a bump, and not just my belly. 

[cosmicav]

I definitely just felt movement. I am 100% sure of it.

I've been *thinking* I feel the light flutters. I'm 95% sure.

For the past week, I've been thinking that there might be some fluttering, but I hadn't been sure. There was no mistaking this one though! It is happening!

As I near the 2nd tri, my soccer games are becoming limited. We had a game last night at 10:40 PM and I stayed up just to go and the other team didn't show up! Still annoyed!

That's awesome! I can't wait for movement!

[muskiefan]

We are headed to BIL's for a cookout. We might tell his family, but his mom and dad aren't sure if they're coming and we would be crucified for telling others first, so we are unsure.

For now, I'm going to get a solid run in and watch The Wire-- I'm addicted!

+1! Ever since the NT scan (when I realized how low baby A is) I've been able to feel each baby. Especially after I eat Something they like

[ladytiffany24]

muskiefan love The Wire! We binge watched the entire series earlier this year!

I am thinking it may have been food related too lol; I had just eaten a full and balanced breakfast of chips and grapes #klassy

[amacbaby]

That is so exciting cosmicav! Can't wait to feel movement too.

So we did the harmony test and it got back after only 4 business days! We picked up the sex results from the doctor after they told us baby shows the lowest risk for the three most common trisomies! I was so relieved with the results. We then got a tiny cake made and broke it open this afternoon with just the four of us and Grandma on FaceTime. It was very fun AND...

We are having a BOY!! I actually cried, even though I would be happy with either! This is our last baby and we have two girls. I think I am most excited to be able to buy more baby clothes without guilt! (We already have so many girl clothes!)

[kristhegirl]

Congratulations, amacbaby!

[meggypoo1]

I can't wait until we are back to where family is. It is hard seeing family for long periods of time. My mom is here this weekend. I love her but she drives me crazy sometimes.

[daisylola11]

amacbaby yay!! Congrats!! All for buying baby clothes, so fun!!

[daisylola11]

I'm suppose to getting ready to go to a friends bday BBQ. I did it again... Got too excited about sushi. So now waiting for the fullness to pass before putting nice clothes on lol

[daisylola11]

I have definitely felt movement. The biggest for sure was after eating hot and sour soup! Nothing consistent but just randomly and I just think "oh hi there"

Random but I forgot if they mentioned if I had an anterior placenta again, I want to say no based on feeling movement so much sooner than w DS.
