MH actually went to work today although it's a holiday. Is it horrible and selfish of me that I'm a bit glad he went to work? Lately I've just found myself enjoying the days when it's just LO and me at home together. I feel like she and I have a better rhythm in our day, I guess, when it's just the two of us.
Maybe we need a FFFC thread. I guess this is my FFMC. 😳
ETA I do love him, of course, and we love it when he's home from work in the evening.
I didn't sleep at all last night. DS2 was up all night long. He hasn't felt good for days. I think he has had a sore throat bc he hasn't been eating and then he had a fever last night. It's been rough. I hope he starts sttn again soon, otherwise, I'm going to be feeling some serious sleep deprivation.

Married to dh since 2012. Ttc journey: Miscarriage at 8 weeks February 2013 DD born march 2014 Miscarriage at 6 weeks September 2015 Miscarriage at 16 weeks, our angel Sebastian 1/23/16 Pregnancy number 5!! Edd 9/2/17 (my moms brithday!)
LittleStarSweeper, H works 24 hour shifts. I need those nights to catch up on schoolwork/housework and to veg on the couch sometimes. He was off for a couple months last summer with an illness and I really missed that alone time.
I'm off today after working for 5 days straight, which is a lot when you do shift work. I also have my first OB appointment today to confirm everything. I'm a little nervous, but I also don't really have time to do serial betas (even though I'm sure I will if they ask me to).
laurenash323, do you think it's the progesterone supplements making your boobs more sore? This is the first pregnancy I have been on progesterone and I am SO much more nauseous than ever before. Either that, or it's twins. AHAHAHAHA god help me.

I have nothing random to report. Except I bought a huge bag of Werther's and sucking on them all day is making me almost 75% functional at work. Survival mode at the moment.

I didn't set an alarm since DS doesn't have preschool. Dh's alarm never went off so we slept in until 8:10. Oops. DD was freaking out and now she is just crabby. I feel like I'm in a sleep fog.

I keep forgetting that I'm on progesterone and that can cause enhanced symptoms haha. Surprisingly my nausea hasn't been much worse (which I was worried about), but it is also my 5th pregnancy, so I'm chalking that up to my body being a little more used to the hormones this time around. I KNOW I'm not having twins haha...I'm just so ready for first tri to be over, but I'm trying to savor every second of this pregnancy.

Good luck at your appointment! Hoping all is as it should be.
This is my first pregnancy and I've been pretty crampy since last night and it's freaking me out. It's kind of like a dull ache and uncomfortable more than it is painful or sharp. It seems like it's mostly in one specific spot rather than all over. I haven't had any spotting or bleeding at all. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? I hope I'm just overreacting.

CK1, I get that feeling sometimes too, and have always been told it is just the uterus stretching and not to worry. Easier said than done! A quick call to your doc or medical assistant or nurse never hurts; even just for your piece of mind.

@wicky I don't think it's constipation, I've been pretty fortunate in that department and have been fairly regular the last couple weeks. I'm going to rest today and if it doesn't go away or if it gets works I'll call the nurse like you suggested. Thank you for your advice!
salmon2017 @gotgingy Ok it makes me feel better knowing I'm not alone! I also read that things are changing/growing to make room for baby which definitely makes sense, I just feel a bit on edge since I don't know what to expect and even the littlest things can seem scary. Thank you!
CK1, I second the cramping. I've had quite a bit of it. Noting sharp or persistent, but enough to freak me out a bit. I also keep having a dull pain to the R side, which freaks me out a bit because I had a large ovarian cyst removed from there back in August and I'm hoping that it's not coming back.
I am SO tired. The last couple days I could hardly do anything. And this whole last week I've had to get up every night to pee. I switched to decaf but I'm wondering if I need to allow myself one cup of regular so I can get through the day.
I was dying of norovirus the last 3 days, and finally am feeling well enough to venture away from my toilet. Of course, all of my pregnancy symptoms are pretty much gone, so I'm not feeling too confident. 10 days until my appointment, and I'm trying to stay positive, but I can't imagine it bodes well. Ugh, PGAL is a clusterf$&k of anxiety.

izzy0927, so sorry you have been ill! DS brought home norovirus last year and it really is just miserable. Keep hope alive, my PGAL buddy. It may be that you just think your pregnancy symptoms are gone because you feel much better than you did a couple of days ago.

salmon2017, thanks. I really hope that's what's going on. I have so many irrational thoughts going on right now. I keep assaulting my boobs, hoping they're sore. If I keep manhandling them this way, they will be!

I love Werther's! My H makes fun of me when I eat them, because they are "old people" candy. Don't care, they're good!

It could also be round ligament pain. That has started up for me here the last week.
I'm having pseudo-mania that I'm taking massive advantage of because I know it's about to slip away into nothingness. It's like I'm racing the clock of when first tri exhaustion hits, so I'm getting literally as much done as I can before that happens.

I think the one cup is worth it if only for the placebo effect of "ahhh, there's my caffeine."

LOL I keep pinching my nipples for the same reason!
