Most mornings I have to peel myself out of bed and feel dead to the world. This morning I have not been able to fall back asleep since my H kissed me goodbye. Of course this is the morning that C decides to sleep in. Ugh!
Ill just enjoy this alone time lying in bed. Id like to get up and make a coffee but I know C will wake as soon as he hears so much as the floot creak (and oh, do my floors ever creak), so I'm not going to push my luck.
I've been lying awake in bed since 4:00am, trying to ignore all the parts of my body that are itchy. DS just woke up and is playing with his stuffed animals in his crib, so I guess I'd better get up for real now.
Oof, sorry about the itching.
Is it getting worse slowly, at least? Ive been keeping my fx for you that you stay beneath that threshold for as long as possible.
Everything in me wants to return that stupid giant stuffed dog to the store while my H is at work. He is lucky that I have no possible way to transport it. I was so pissed at the store that he wouldn't put it back. I am trying so hard to purge!! We dont need a gigangic stuffed dog taking up space!!

I made it into work, but I don't think I'm out of the woods on this sickness yet. I came in mostly because the cleaning lady is at the house so I would have a hard time resting while she's there. She's kind of chatty and it was nice when I had to stay home once while she was there when I had some bleeding issues because it kept my mind off what was going on. But not today.
I ate an English muffin a couple hours ago and its just not agreeing with my stomach. I brought a banana with me to try so if that doesn't go well I'm calling my OB's office. I would think more than a day of not eating wouldn't be good.

I'm not sleeping well lately. Part of it is my stomach - I've been having bad gas and need to sort that out because it's waking me up. And then once I'm awake I notice the baby turning over a lot and have trouble getting comfortable again.
erinshelley21 I hope the banana works out with your stomach - being sick and out of bed and pregnant is not fun.
@amc25 sorry about the itching - that sounds miserable.
obi I would be grouchy about the stuffed dog, too - it's hard enough to purge without more things coming home to take up the space. We are 100% out of bookshelf space right now and DH has claimed probably a dozen times he isn't buying anymore books, but still they come rolling in the door.

Sorry for all the lousy sleep! My night wasn't great either. DH has a stomach bug. Like he pooped 10+ times yesterday and had an upset stomach. DS also napped super late, so he was up til nearly midnight. I ended up staying up until 1:30 typing up DH's sub plans. I'm surprisingly not too tired this morning, but I can see a nap in my future.
Sitting here waiting for the hour to pass on my gd test. I should have brought a book. Apparently, Monday is a popular day at the OB. I don't think I have ever seen it this full.

My mother is so dramatic. I wasn't going to tell her that I was sick because then she would just worry and be ridiculous. She said she wishes she could leave work so she could take care of me. 1. I'm not even home right now. 2. I usually get the stomach flu at least once every year. So that is 6 times in my adult and not living at home life, and of those 6 times I've been by myself 5 times because DH was at work. 3. She knows I like to be by myself when I am sick. I don't need her hounding me every 5 minutes to drink water. It's nice that she cares but its the flu. I'm not dying.

@amc25, they actually called me this morning for something (don't know what and they couldn't figure out who even called me) and I missed it so when I returned the call I went ahead and spoke to one nurse. She acted like it was no big deal that I puked twice and didn't really care that I wasn't able to eat much. I'm going to go back home for the rest of the day and see if I can get to feeling better.
No nausea or fever this morning so things are looking up here. DS has a lingering cold and is cranky though so my tired and still pretty weak self is struggling to deal with that. DH works late tonight too so I'm on my own until bedtime which last night involveda lot of screaming despite no nap. Hopefully DS will not decide he hates sleep again today.
All C wants to do is sit next to me on the couch. He is such an independent, unattached kid. I always wished he were more cuddly but now with the baby on the way so soon I am worried he will end up jealous. Of course he is more attached with me than H, too. Im starting to get nervous about balancing attention between the two of them.
I have been very productive today!!! Usually I am dragging by this point in the day. Maybe I am getting a pregnancy second wind. If that is a thing lol

I think the saddest part of this whole thing is I don't feel like eating the leftover spinach and artichoke dip from our party. It is awesome and I'd like to enjoy it
We're supposed to be getting new windows and doors tomorrow but I don't know how I'm going to work that if we're still sick. Unfortunately military housing does the contracting so I can't cancel but I don't know where we're going to go if DS can't be around other kids. It's way too cold for us to stay here but what am Isupposed to do from 7-4?

Would it freeze well? Then you could just defrost it for a treat one night.

I've never tried to freeze it. I may have to try with some. Im hoping to get my appetite back tomorrow and be able to enjoy it.
We just got done with our ultrasound at the MFM doctor, and we got the all clear! The spots in his heart havent changed, they dont look like tumors, and arent affecting the function of the heart. He just has calcium deposits.
Of course, every other ultrasound he barely kept still, this one he was balled up so tight they almost couldnt get a good picture. The tech called the doctor in so he could get a look, and he came in with a second doctor. Scared the crap out of us. She was just observing though, and everything was just fine.
Great news Quinstar! Hope the itching doesn't get too bad @amc25
Just studying for my final in three days. I really just want to be done and one vacation! These days are long... like from 9am until 11pm straight studying so I don't get to be home with the kids except and hour for dinner and it's rough.
I have been pretty calm and happy mood-wise this pregnancy, but the emotional hormones are settling in, and with that is coming anxiety. I had anxiety pretty badly in college and I hate it. I'm going to talk to my doc on Wednesday to see if there is anything to do.
Make sure your SO knows how to install AND uninstall your carseat(s).
(And super important that YOU know how to do it just as well.)
Do NOT have one parent with all of the carseat knowledge.
This coming from a 6 month pregnant lady that had to deal with uninstalling & installing them 3 times today.
Oh. And I was so irked at him for pleading ridiculous ignorance that I unloaded the 8 summer tires and stacked them in the shed by myself, because I am woman hear me roar. Or something like that.
And of course I'm embellishing some. He did help me with the carseats, but he seriously would not have done it correctly if he was alone and he was not taking my instruction well, and Finley was reeking havoc in the front seat, so I ended up doing the majority of it.
Sigh.
I second this advice! I ended up giving my very frustrated wife instructions by text, which took forever during a meeting I should not have been texting brought because she was moving seats at the airport
