Weekly Randoms! - 3/6

[beefinch]

It's been raining here for literally a week non stop!!

DH wants to get the garden sorted so bad before the summer so C can go out in it.

We moved here in August, the garden is massive but was a fixer upper. It's just mainly cleaning up, and taking down things and putting some stones down, and we want a decking on the right hand side of the garden. We also need a fence on the left hand side as our neighbour has a dog, and I want a proper fence rather than just a wired one (and trees) separating us, the dog is so friendly but I wouldn't forgive myself if it got into my garden while C was in there, even if the dog wanted to just give C a lick.

DH only gets Wednesday and Saturdays off from work, will be going to just Wednesday in a minute. And I can't do it as it isn't safe to bring C out in and can't leave him in the house alone obviously, and plus I hate gardening lol!!

Sorry you're feeling sick already @annperkins, maybe it's just a blip.

beefinch, I really want to start working on our garden too, but the weather has been pretty crappy here too. I just need to tidy it up after winter, maybe put in a few spring flowers for some colour, but it's still time consuming.

cnf2013, I'm sorry about your oatmeal bar crisis. I've always stocked my desk with snacks, but now I need even heavier ones. I've been buying these bars that are oatmeal/peanut butter/sesame seeds etc and they're really tasty and filling, but also like $2.50 each!

@thatgolfbitch, ugh sorry you're feeling crummy, too.
It's also weird because I'm STARVING and with the other two I barely ate during the first trimester whether I was nauseous or not. Nothing ever looked good.

I'm feeling better now. At the gym, working on my fitness. I hope I can keep it up!

Yay! Awesome job for getting to the gym! I was just going to post in the health/fitness thread that I am heading there this afternoon. I have my gym bag packed, so no excuses.

So far it seems like the days I've had exercise are the days I've felt the best!

Good morning! How is everyone doing today?

I fear that pregnancy brain is kicking in early- I keep slipping up a bit at work, mostly with days/dates of things. Nothing major, but I'm afraid I'm going to make a mistake 😕

I'm definitely feeling some early onset pregnancy brain.

[cnf2013]

I don't understand how it's only Thursday. I feel like it should have been Friday like two days ago. Longest week ever. And I have a six hour PD on Saturday. Whompwhomp.

Ugh, I totally don't understand why it isn't Friday!

[beefinch]

Today is a good day for us. Our wedding pictures were finally ready to see! Love them all 💘

Um, yes. That could have been my actual first symptom. I walked in the kitchen and said to DH "The curtains don't shrink and they are 100% cotton, so why would the mattress cover that is also 100% cotton shrink? and walked out. (We were debating on if we could put the mattress cover in the dryer since the labels says not to.)
Then a half hour later, I asked him "did I say curtains? I totally meant sheets!"

Morning! I'm good today so far. Treated myself to McDonald's breakfast  

I'm so nervous about this, I hate screwing up at work, and I figure it's just a matter of time. Oh well, at least I put on matching shoes this morning.

Also, I agree, it should totally be Friday today!

This is me on a normal day, haha. 

[peggels24]

blabbermouth, I might have also had McDonald's for breakfast (and it might also be the second time this week)

I can feel myself starting to forget things - I've even thought about setting an alarm for Mondays and Wednesdays so I remember to leave to pick up DD from daycare - I'm totally afraid I'm going to forget.

[jax1182014]

My mom took DD out all morning. I work nights so I ended up going back to sleep to get ready for my night shift tonight. I still feel like I could sleep more😴

[blabbermouth]

Yes peggels24! I really feel like an egg mcmuffin (or bacon and egg, ahem) isn't all that different from what I'd make at home, right?

jax1182014, that must be a hard schedule to keep up with a child!

[jax1182014]

Wow I'm surprised the egg mcmuffin is healthier than the oatmeal!

[peggels24]

blabbermouth, That was my argument too - and I skipped the hash brown so I felt ok about it

[blabbermouth]

@thatgolfbitch, jax1182014, I actually like McD's oatmeal! I think it's "unhealthy" because they give you a bit packet of maple sugar to go with it

[izz67]

+1 to pregnancy brain.
Sometimes I read the symptoms you ladies mention and I get paranoid because I don't feel like I have symptoms. Then I realized the thought of an egg Mcmuffin makes me want to hurl. Normally I'd be all for a McDonald's breakfast sandwich.

I told my mom group today at lunch. I know it's early, but I just couldn't wait!

We all have 3 year olds and 4/5 of us started trying around the same time (not in a weird pregnancy pact way, more like, well our kids are 2, now seems like a good time to try again way). I'm the last one to get pregnant who was trying. There are already 2 newborns and one more on the way in May. I'm really excited to have such a fantastic team/pack/posse/squad this go round compared to how lonely I was when I was pregnant with my other kids.

AW: a photo from our wedding

C is in his PJ's as it was 8:30pm and he went to bed right after this shot! He was in a lovely mint green bow tie, braces and grey suit matching Daddy!

[blabbermouth]

Cute pic beefinch, congrats!

Ok, FINE, I can't deny my pregnancy brain. I went to the store at lunch to get a tomato to eat with the frozen burrito I brought. Get back to work, go to get the burrito from my lunch bag... not there. Check the freezer... not there. So I guess I just imagined putting it in my bag this morning Had to go and get samosas next door instead, so at least I had the tomato!

[beefinch]

It was my Nans birthday today, so we all went around to my Mums house for a Chinese, I just mentioned that I'm very tired today, and my Nan said "don't be silly it's very early still, nothing like that will happen yet"

Excuse me? Would you like to tell that to my exhaustion? And tomy nipples that are sore AF?! This woman has had 3 kids, she should know how extra tiring it is when being pregnant and having a toddler (who was a pain in the bum today)

Another case of her not thinking before speaking. I know I'm only 5wks+4days but I'm just glad I don't have any sickness. I'm deffo extra moody as well, hence why her comments are getting to me!

Jealous! My bff has been trying since we announced our first pregnancy in 2015 and I hope and wish and pray every month that she gets her miracle. I'd love to be pregnant together with a close friend.

I have one mom friend who has three kids already but our parenting styles clash so we tend not to talk shop about kids so much.

[cnf2013]

Stunning beefinch!!

[amadine23]

That's so nice to have such a supportive group, @annperkins. I was the same way when I was pregnant with DS...I didn't have a single pregnant friend or any friends with kids, and it was desperately lonely. I can't wait to tell my current moms' group I'm pregnant. Almost all of them have already had another baby or are pregnant, and it's going to be so much more fun for me this time!

[Deleted]

beefinch, I love that pic! The jammies arev perfect!

[cnf2013]

Ok, dating ultrasound scheduled for April 11th. Waiting on the nurse to call me back to schedule betas. I need to go pick up DD from my mom so it'd be nice if they'd hurry up and call me.

[pootsen]

A friend and I drunkenly discussed our mutual plans to TTC this year at her NYE party. We promised to keep each other in the loop and have been messaging back and forth. Well I just found out yesterday that she's pregnant too! We are due within days of each other. It will be nice to chat with someone IRL and this is her first so it's pretty exciting.

[pootsen]

beefinch beautiful photo! What an exciting time in your lives 😊Congratulations!
