Check another week off...

[mikaela20]

I havnt been sleeping through the night lately. So annoying. And now I'm so tired to start another busy work week.

[meggypoo1]

How is it Monday already. That is all.

[erinshelley21]

I'm kind of glad this weekend is over. DS gave us a preview of the threenager stage yesterday and this morning and DH acted like an asshat last night.

I'm hoping the asshatery is due to lack of time spent together since we haven't had any time just the two of us since I can't even remember when off the top of my head. We are going out to dinner tonight just the two of us so I hope that helps.

There's a phrase for how this morning is going: Someone please end the pain.

[glb30]

. I hope today gets better. No advice on HMO's, but I hope you can get in sooner!

mikaela20 I can't stand not being able to sleep. I hope today goes quickly, and you are back in your bed before you know it!

I'm sorry to everyone else who is having rough mornings too!!

I'm off today since I don't start the new job til tomorrow. Right now, I'm still in bed battling a headache that started yesterday. 😐

I'm going to get up and work out in a bit. I also want to get my nails done, and maybe a massage. My Mom is coming over around lunch time.

OH- and I finally bought some maternity pants that fit. The price was right at Old Navy and I bought a bunch of stuff! Turns out I'm a size lower than I thought and that's why everything has been too big when I've ordered online.

Sorry it sounds like a rough morning ladies!

My phone was on the charger all night but didnt charge, so that's great. 3% means back on the charger she goes.

I can't wait until May so I can replace this piece of crap.

But for real though, DH went back to work this morning and he has to leave at 4:45. He's incapable of being quiet or keeping lights off so he wakes me up. I'm thisclose to putting his work stuff in the hall closet and telling him to get ready in the hall bathroom.

I would like to enjoy sleep while I can.

[glb30]

@priss08 my H's stuff is in the hall closet and I make him get ready in the bathroom....this sounds completely reasonable to me.

oh yeah. I mean, he his job started at a normal hour it wouldn't matter. There's just no reason my day should start before 7.

Yesterday I felt with on onslaught of "How are you 20 weeks already?! That just flew by!".

Bitches, this shit has been slower that molasses in a blizzard.

Based on the length of my last pregnancy (36w6d by ovulation), today at 18w3d would be the halfway point of this pregnancy!

If by some miracle I beat the odds and avoid cholestasis and the associated late preterm/early term induction, I'll gladly welcome a few "bonus" weeks and the opportunity to carry to full term, but anticipating an early delivery is making me feel slightly more at peace with how my body handles pregnancy.

I've been thinking about this too--if #2 is born at the exact gestation as #1, they will be born at the end of January. I'm way over halfway there, so there is a weird feeling with that. It's hard to explain!

Morning all! I'll join the rough morning gang - I had a terrible series of scary dreams last night (always being chased, first by cops and then by vicious dogs). My back hurts, I'm tired, and my stomach is being weird.

I am excited for this week to be over. My H is off next week and we both so desperately need the time together.
His commute is an hour with no traffic and he usually works at least 10hrs, so we dont see much of each other during the week. Life is stressful and crazy right now to top it off so we both need to quality time.

We have an appointment with the bank next Thursday and I am just crossing everything that they will help us get our financial life sorted out so we can manage it between now and next May/June when we can renegotiate our mortgage and when my Mom will be buying out my dad so he will move out and she can move in.
Im just trying to find the silver lining in all of this. I hate the situation with my dad but at least he has finally given me enough reason to let go of any guilt in cutting him out of my life. i have struggled with that for so long and tried to maintain a relationship but I am comfortable saying this is the last straw. It sucks but I am thankful to no longer feel responsible for our relationship not working. I owe him nothing and that is freeing.

My office offered free flu shots today, and I figured I'd get it now rather than wait 2 more weeks until I see the MW again (I was sick during my last office visit, and they suggested I postpone). I had to push the nurse to let me get it because she seemed to think it was dangerous for pregnant women to have the flu shot.

[erinshelley21]

I just got a notice from the IRS that I failed to sign the tax return for my business. I am blaming pregnancy 100%.
At least it was only one of the 6 tax returns that I had to sign and mail.

[callmeKD]

is Monday over yet? sigh

[daisylola11]

Woke up w a cold I felt coming on last night 😣 I hate hate being congested specially at night since I can't sleep.

MW appt in an hour!! Can't wait to hear the heartbeat and how much I've gained haha

[caer]

Thinking of you today mosdub! I hope you have a great ultrasound!

Hope you have a great appointment daisylola11!

Ugh, pregnancy insomnia has been no joke this time mikaela20. Sorry you're dealing with it, too.

[daisylola11]

Double post weird

[caer]

Happy Monday, all. We have had a busy day here. Took my dog to the vet this morning and found out he has congestive heart failure. He's there all day for tests but unfortunately it doesn't sound like they'll be able to do much for him. I'm hoping we'll get a little bit more time with him.

In happier news, DS is on his third week of preschool and it's going so well! No tears at dropoff this morning and he's having a great time. I'm so glad we decided to send him.

[obi]

I am so sorry about your pup caer

[kristhegirl]

I'm so sorry, caer! Sick/ailing pets are so hard.

[mosdub]

Thanks caer! I'm counting down the minutes! Going to pick up H in an hour then off to the U/S

[mosdub]

caer I'm sorry about your pup I hope he still has some time to soak up the best of life with you guys. Yay for your son loving pre-school! I think it's a fantastic way to get them primed for "big kid" school!

This is on my mind constantly.. I outright bit my mil's head off verbally when she mentioned how close we are to "viability".  (She understood and took my outburst goodnaturedly.)  My last pregnancy was finished 5 weeks and 5 days from now.  ... five.. weeks.  I've been giving this one stern talkings to and working on convincing him that he really doesn't want to come out until he can stay with mommy from the beginning!  ><

Anyone having to urinate or have a bowel movement, stand up wiggle a bit and then sit down to finish?

I remember this late in my other pregnancies, but not this soon.

I can't decide if I need to bring it up at my appointment tomorrow or not.

No but that is an excellent idea! So many times I go and have to go again a minute later , so annoying

[mikaela20]

Oh caer I'm so sorry. What devastating news. I hope you get more time with him.

[obi]

Thanks @justinslovo. It is definitely the most tumultuous time of our lives thus far but I know that changes are around the corner. When I got my BFP I discontinued use of my anti anxiety/depression med so I am having days where I feel swallowed up by all of it. I just have to remind myself to focus on our plan and know that this is just a moment in life and not the whole story.
Also, you guys letting me dear diary here helps too

[callmeKD]

caer - sorry about your pup. but glad preschool is going well.
