Well, I spend most of my sitting time perched on an inflatable donut because my tailbone and pelvis are so achy. Today marks 22 weeks and baby boy decided the perfect way to celebrate was to make me puke. Thanks bud.
I feel AWFUL today, but I'm pretty sure it's not due to the pregnancy.
Last night I was cleaning out one of the closets that our cats like to hang out in and I ended up having a horrible allergy attack. I woke up in the middle of the night because I couldn't breathe and spent the rest of the night coughing and wheezing. I'm praying to god I didn't give myself some kind of bronchial infection. If I don't feel better by the end of the day I'm going to have DH take me to an urgent care center

Back to work today for a 12 hour day, but I'm going to enjoy the heck out of my Flat Top leftovers I brought for lunch! Besides that lots of movement from baby girl (who still remains nameless despite several long conversations about it this weekend) and some major breastbone pain! Feels like my bra is too tight even though I know it's not:(

I'm also sore from housework and cleaning this weekend. And I'm just really fatigued again. For the past week I'm back to wanting/needing like 12 hours of sleep a night.
On a really happy note, school was cancelled today due to cold temps, so I have an unexpected day off! Woooh!
I just hope today is better than yesterday. I went out to pick up baby stuff from a friend, was there for an hour, started getting sick and then came home and spent the rest of the day in bed trying to keep food down, mostly unsuccessfully. This better not be the premature beginning of the third tri exhaustion coming back. I've only had seven weeks of energy. This isn't fair. I have things to do. Lots of things!

Hope you feel better @littlebee, maybe you could try the netipot or inhaling some hot steam to clear up your sinuses?
My nipples feel like sharp needles are going through them, and they are lumpy and swollen as fuck, and it's driving me crazy. Have my OB appt today so we'll see if this warrants an ultrasound. I drove myself crazy on Saturday over the weekend with anxiety, again.
The whole body soreness started from sleeping on my side. Got the snoogle, but it's so big, I don't know how to use it comfortably.

Headaches and acid reflux -- it seems to be the story of my life these days.
Everyone in my office has been sick, some multiple times, over the past couple of months. I have somehow avoided it all and I can only hope I continue to do so.
I'll be 23 weeks on Thursday and still am only feeling "flutters" a handful of times a day or so. I haven't felt any real kicks or outside kicks -- I'm getting impatient and part of me is worried I'm not feeling the little guy more!
I actually feel alright so far today. Last night was a little rough. I usually can't keep my eyes open but pregsomnia kicked in something fierce & I was awake until after 1am.
I am SOOO uncomfortable already. I can't believe it. Something had to have drastically changed over the past few days because I feel sooo different and huge and HEAVY. I am starting to freak out because I'm only 24 weeks!! But this little boy is setting records left and right. I mean, I can quite literally see body parts (an elbow maybe?) roll across my belly already! I didn't experience this with my first until much later. DH and I just sit there with our jaws on the floor watching my belly. I had no idea this could happen so early. Yesterday night there were spots in my belly protruding wayyyy out and I would push on it a bit and it was very hard and I could almost grip it .... an arm or leg I guess. But it seriously scares me for these next 16 weeks! I'm really not trying to be an AW either. I am completely dumbstruck over it all. I have to record it one time because I know I'll never believe it when I think back on it 5 years from now.

Baby girl loves her coffee today. I've totally taken advantage of that 200mg/day thing this whole pregnancy. She's been moving up a storm in there all morning! I don't think I could ever get sick of this
I've been so annoyingly pissy lately (still?). I feel bad for my husband half the time, the other half I'm pissed he's being an ass right back. lol
Gone are the days when I can sleep through the night now. I used to fight the 3 am pee break, but I can't any longer. Especially since it hits around 12:30/1 am now. And I'm typically not sleeping well aside from that, thanks to weird night sweats, dreams I can't fathom, and discomfort on whichever side of my body I'm laying on.
Still want to eat everything all the time.
I'm watching the SNL 40th Anniversary Special on Hulu right now and it's making everything so wonderful, though. Hope baby is liking the endorphins, because bloody hell I'm laughing hard.
I hope everyone has a stellar start to their week. I'm really hoping this one is (finally) a good week for me!

Super tired today, and I have cankles now. The indigestion and heartburn are my constant companions. This weekend I just wanted to lay on the couch and not do a damn thing, so none of my usually weekend house keeping got done, and the dog didn't get taken to the park which led to me crying about being a horrible mother to the dog.
The sciatica is back. Not as excruciating as it was a couple weeks ago, but it's starting on the opposite side now, too. JOY.
Once I got comfortable last night, I slept like the dead. I felt super awake and energetic when I woke up...and that lasted for maybe an hour. I can't decide whether to drink some coffee now, or wait until DH and I go out with my father later and convince them to stop at Dunkin Donuts or Panera....

This. my parents took their dogs to the coast today. I tried to talk them in to taking my pup too but they didn't go for it. So we're having a lazy day. I'm watching price is right. And it's sunny and going to be 60.
Hopefully I feel better later on today. I've had a migraine for 3 days. And I had the worst heartburn of my life last night. Bleh I'm just too stressed out to do anything!

Sciatica and my feet hurt! I also bought prunes yesterday, so that should tell you how great my GI tract is acting. I am about to make the most of my 3 day weekend with a nap! God I love them!

It's just been an all around shitty day. I can't tell if I am getting sick, am overtired, or if it's pregnancy related. I am zero energy today. My stomach has been off and I've had heartburn on and off since Saturday night. Seeing as though 2 out of my 3 staff called in sick today, I'm guessing I could be getting a cold plus the heartburn from the bambino. Lovely. And it's -5 out right now, that that just makes it all suck more. Spring has to come at somepoint, right??
Thanks holliberry28. I've been inhaling steaming hot water at my desk all day and gargling with salt water. I'm hoping whatever I have will just pass on it's own. I called my doctor and they said next time I have an episode like last night, that I should go to the ER because it could be asthma or something serious.
For all you ladies with heartburn my doctor said Zantac is completely safe and it works wonders!!! I mean I had it so bad that I couldn't sleep an was crying from how horrible it was and I have been in no heartburn heaven since I started taking it. One in the morning before I eat and one at night. I asked him if he could prescribe it because it's cheaper that way for me and he said he couldn't prescribe Zantac but he prescribed me nexium which I only have to take once a day and I think it works even better! Don't suffer the heartburn! My ob said tums don't work very well and they only last ten minutes which is why most of us pregnant woman eat them like candy.
I'm also surprised by how worn out and awkward I feel already! I get winded so fast and I have major shortness of breath. Of course I have heartburn/reflux too, plus baby girl really likes kicking me in the bladder lol I pee constantly!!! I also finally gave in and traded my last pieces of non-maternity clothes (tights and tank tops) in for maternity ones.

I feel like LO is going through a growth spurt. I'm constantly hungry and I have very little energy. I don't know how I'm going to get everything done when I keep wanting to sleep all the time. I've been taking regular naps at work. And I'm talking full on dream state naps for a good 45-60 minutes!
I'm so sorry, burns are the worst. I hope the aloe & chocolate helps.
My symptoms? I've got nothing much, itchy hot boobs but what else is new. I've been feeling baby morning and night which I'm so happy about.
We've also begun setting up the nursery (again). It's been closed down for a year since our loss so I'm enjoying seeing alllll the baby stuff. Can't wait to set up the new crib.

Got a tad frisky over the weekend (well it was Valentines day!) and today I feel like I've been repeatedly kicked in the uterus. Went to watch 50 shades this evening and during the most er, rampant scene(!) the baby started doing kicks and flips - it was very distracting! Prehaps I needed to cover it's little ears!

I don't know if I'm just tired/have pregnancy nausea/am getting a cold or what, but I'm over it. I've felt off for a week but now it's a combination of nausea and head cold symptoms. I have a balance issue that I do exercises for usually but all of a sudden they're not working and I feel really dizzy and sick. So I can't really tell the cause, but it blows.
I think it's mostly coming from tiredness. I have major RLP yesterday for the first time and it was quite a shock how bad it can be too.
All up, I'm Captain Whinger today. Super fun to be around.
I'm just sulking because I have to fly 3 hours for a meeting early tomorrow morning then come back home in the afternoon. 6 hours of travel for a 3 hour meeting. I just would have coped better if I was feeling good: which I have been for weeks!
I should be grateful for the weeks of feeling good but I just wish I had done this trip during that time.

I have to improve soon... Right?
Sounds like you need some rest mama. Good luck with the flying. BYO snacks if you are flying Qantas. They served ham sangers and I was starving because there was nothing to buy and I felt so sick.
Grumpy and sick. Went registering today, then stopped in at Lowes to get some paint for the nursery. Threw up repeatedly all over a planter (out in the parking lot, thank God.). Now on the couch with a fever, and trying to keep down liquids. I guess I don't really know if it is pregnancy related or just the flu. Either way it isn't fun.

I have felt so hungry the past couple days, which makes me think LO is have a growth spurt. My back also hurts and I feel tired. I worked a full day today and made dinner (and dessert!) tonight. Now, I'm feeling like I could be absorbed by the couch.
I'm also kind of irritable and whiny too. I'm annoyed with DH for not wanting to have sexy time over the weekend, even though I don't particularly feel in the mood now. Plus, he's been kind of cranky too. I'm blaming pregnancy hormones on the current mood, since I'm normally not like this. Bleh.
flbabychin if it makes you feel any better, my DH hasn't wanted to have sexy time for a couple weeks. He says it's too weird to have sex now that the baby looks like a real person and that it creeps him out because he doesnt want to scar her for life (even though I've told him repeatedly how she's tucked safely away in my uterus). I think he's also just stressed out and tired from starting his new and way more demanding job. But it's going to be a loooong next 4 months if the man doesn't give it up!
