callmeKD and skk thanks for the advice. We walk her once a day but I'm sure that's not enough. She's terrible off leash and with other dogs so we can't really take her anywhere for exercise. Our yard is pretty tiny but we do try to throw the ball for her and should definitely do more of that. I would think she'd have tons of positive associations with DD because she feeds her all the time and likes to bring her toys to her. DD is actually quite gentle with her (and sadly) almost overly cautious around her already I think because the dog makes her nervous. I also got her a couple of treat puzzle toys hoping for mental stimulation. I know it's wrong but I also have a hard time lately giving her the positive attention she needs because I'm so frustrated with her and how badly behaved she is (I know, my fault not hers). I like the idea of attention only when baby is around because we definitely pay more attention to her when baby isn't around. I guess I just never expected this because before my daughter was born I had never even heard her growl at a person before. It's like E is the only person she has ever really disliked and it breaks my heart. And kaits8 thanks for the solidarity and good vibes. I hope yours was just a one time fluke.
AFM- I am at the gym. Perfect time to come- no one is here! I just finished my meeting at the firm by my house and it went really well. Someone is going to call me to talk about salary, but if we can work that out, the job is mine! 😬 SO happy!
elsmom our dog went to an intense training for 3 weeks, and he is so well behaved. I'd give it a try! I'm sorry, I can't imagine as our dog is our baby!
Thanks everyone My H is coming home an hour early to be with me and I am so grateful. C is being an absolute terror today and I am having trouble finding the patience to deal with him.
We just came back from a few hours at the park. I'm bushed, DS is a very active child. Now I'm trying to decide when I should start dinner cause I'm soo hungry.
I'm trying my hardest not to engage on FB about politics. I know it won't change their minds and will only make me more upset, but part of me really wants to speak my mind. Normally, I'd let it roll off my back, but today I'm really irritated about it.
Thanks everyone! I am so happy. I'll be nervous until everything is worked out though.
H and I are having a date night tonight. I'm trying to find some energy! I normally have an aversion to eating out, but I am going to try again. I was pulling so much this morning I popped a blood vessel in my eye or something. It doesn't hurt, but there is a bright red spot! Gross. And I think I am one of the people who is just going to keep getting sick. 🙄
STM- I have found this beginning part of pregnancy to move pretty slowly. (I feel like I have been pregnant for a LONG time, and yet, I'm not even halfway. Does it speed up at some point?
I was surprised at how much I liked these names! Esp the boy names. And I've never heard any of them, which was a major plus to me. My H didn't like any of them though. Oh well.

I meant to stop by yesterday to update after my appointment! All looks good with baby! Heard the heartbeat (153 bpm). That's a little lower than what we were used to for DD so I'm being hopeful and saying maybe that means it's a boy this time! Of course I realize that's just an old wives tale and there isn't much to it.
Anyways, A/S ultrasound is scheduled for November 10th! Can't wait!
glb30 - For me, it was all in relation to how I felt. When I felt like crap, time moved so slow. When I felt better, it went by much more quickly. Before I knew it, the holidays were over and I was going to have a baby in a couple of months (DD is a March baby too). Also, the amount of time between appointment is much longer now and that makes things seem slower to me.
suelou18 that makes sense! In the beginning, it did seem to move a little faster, and I think it's bc I was seeing the doctor for blood or ultrasound every couple of days. I also felt better up to 8 weeks-ish, and then started feeling more sick. I think I'm similar to you!
elsmom how old is your DD? Mine has recently starts playing ball with our crazier border collie. It's a win win because it keeps both of them occupied
She's 20 months. That might work but the dog doesn't like to give the ball back so I worry about DD getting bitten...how old is your DD?
You need 2 balls. If the dog won't drop one then you make a big deal about how you have another one and they will drop the one they have in their mouth. My DD is 3.
I just ate a bowl of feta, crabberries, balsalmic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper with a side of spinach salad. Seriously ate so much yumminess and justified it with a few stems of spinach. Yummo.
Just watched last night's episode of This is Us. Please tell me someone is watching this. I have all the feels about it. I am in LOVE the doctor. He makes my heart ache with his kindness. I neeeeeed to chat more about it allll!
elsmom I'm sorry you are having issues with your dog. It seems you know what is lacking and what you could do to help. Hopefully you can get in a routine for excersise and things get better with training. It makes me nervous for my dog. She is a rescue mini schoondle with anxiety issues already. She gets 1 hour of walks a day plus more on weekends. I'm kind of not thinking about it because I know it will be work and a hard transition with baby. I have already started looking into dog behavioural trainers in the area for some pre baby training. Good luck with your pup.

I ordered a Stitch Fix to come Oct.28 with specific instructions to send maternity stuff that will show off my bump. I CAN'T WAIT. 15+ weeks of hiding the bloat and bump I can't wait to finally embrace it. I've basically been dressing like this for the past 6 weeks or so:

I'm watching and we just watched last nights episode too! All the feels over here too! The doctor is probably one of my fav characters!!
And omg at Kate singing time after time while William is at the doctor. Why did that make me cry so much?! And Rebecca and jack talking near the end?! So many tears.

I'll be honest... It took me until like the end of the second episode to realize how this show is actually going. It didn't occur to me until over halfway through that the babies are actually the actor, his sister and the rich guy.
It was a huge lightbulb moment. I'm slow when pregnant.
