I'm getting my oil changed and two new tires, nodding and smiling like I know what I'm talking about.

Ugh I need to take my car in for service and I don't want to.  I always wind up with the same rep and I kind of hate him.

My favorite guy is here, but they sent me to a new guy and I was very self conscious about requesting the things my fav guy told me about last time. I wanted to just tell the new guy to ask my buddy Zach because he would know.
Zach and I did exchange pleasantries because we're basically bff's that only see each other every 3 months for 15 min at a time.

I wish I had a Zach **sigh**

Thankfully my dad works for a car dealership so when I need something we just switch cars for a day and he handles it. So I'm basically still a child when it comes to dealing with my car, lol. Speaking of which, I've been asking him for a week because I'm like 1500 miles overdue for an oil change.

C has just gone down for a nap, which means my bed is calling. The house is a mess and I have probably 4 loads of washing to do, but hey, a nap sounds so much better. DH is day off tomorrow so he can help me sort out the house and put away the endless amount of washing that I need to do. I hate using the tumble dryer as it gets so hot in the kitchen but it's not nice enough weather to put anything outside yet!

The cats were curled into balls on our bed when I came into the bedroom... move your bums I need to sleep

I have barely been able to get a load of dishes in the dishwasher between exhaustion, homework and work. Forget about laundry and folding said laundry. 

[cnf2013]

I am also starving all the time. It's really unfortunate. I ate an oatmeal like two hours ago, an hour after my breakfast sandwich, and I'm already so hungry. My stomach is so loud right now.

Plus, the bloat caught me, finally. I look like I'm about seven months pregnant and I packed on 4lbs of water weight. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

[diamondsndaisies]

Thankfully, my DH can usually take care of any of my car issues, unless its time consuming, then he will usually push it off on a local repair shop. His buddy runs it so I never have to deal with anyone but him, which is nice.

[beefinch]

cnf2013 that's what parents are for lol!

My dads a carpet fitter, so when we moved into our house we got every single rooms carpet free and labour work free, it was great lol!

Also I told my boss today! I told her I will make it public in a couple weeks after the other US. She was nervous because I looked upset when I came in lol. I was just nervous!

Yay! My mentor and the other health teacher know, but that's it. At some point I'll let my administrators at the high school know, but it doesn't matter since I'll be back from leave when I switch over to high school. My middle school principal will get a rude awakening come September, lol.

I told my job fairly early with DS because of needing to get off for doctor's apts and vomiting all of the time. I was either holed up in the bathroom most mornings at work or late because I was in the bathroom at home.
I'm not sure when I will tell work this time. My job is a lot more sedentary and part-time this go round, so it's not as important.

cnf2013 ,I commiserate with the bloat. It's like I'm already showing but nope it's just fat/bloat.

I swear my boobs are bigger than when I got dressed this morning.  I felt good at 8 am, and now I look like a stuffed sausage in this dress. Oy.  I can't wait for maternity dresses.

[beefinch]

I've had enough of this bloody stupid food aversion thing.

I need to eat every few hours, something very small or I start to feel sick and dry heave. Anything bigger than a handful of whatever it is I will feel sick, and that's even if I can force myself to eat it as NOTHING is appealing to me and EVERYTHING is making me feel sick when I look at it/start making it.

Come on body!!!!! I've just forced down about a quarter of a chicken breast and 1 chip as I had to spit that out as soon as I put it in my mouth.

DS's having a great time with his chicken, chips and cherry tomatoes. Going 'mmmm!' with every mouthful... yeah cheers son

I'm in the waiting room. Just peed in a cup. Waiting on ultrasound. Eeeek!

I feel like there just isn't enough guacamole in the world. But people really need to chill out with the raw onions. They are just no good.

I have been stuffing my face with really unhealthy shit. I swore to myself I wouldn't gain 50lbs again this time. Future is not looking so bright. On the upside, I am having a craving for roasted vegetables so that is what's for dinner at my house. Hey, it's a start.

I've been craving all sorts of veggies! Kind of strange, but I'm rolling with it for now. It'll probably turn into a nasty aversion in a few days.

[grumpycat88]

I swear I felt something crawling on me last night ... And now I have a bunch of bug bites. UGH. So itchy. I was also outside for like 2 hours with DS yesterday so it could have been then too. Who knows.

DH is working a graveyard shift today which means its just me and DS aka the dictator. It's bath day, so my bathroom will get a cleaning too. Wish me luck! Thankfully it's beautiful outside today so we will spend time outside, come in for dinner, bath, and go to bed. I'm sure I will be going to bed shortly after him since I have a 9am meeting tomorrow BLAAAAH.

YAY @thatgolfbitch !!

[lgraceh]

No real food aversions or craving here yet. I do feel like I need to eat like every 2-3 hours though or I feel like puking. I'm trying to keep the snacks low cal since I'm just grazing all day. I can't wait for the farmers market to open so I can get some better veggies. The Safeway cucumbers are not cutting it.

[southernbelle]

+2 on not trying to gain as much as last time. But then today I had a chicken tenders publix sub then made homemade choc chip cookie. Which I really shouldn't have done because I ate some cookie dough and now I feel guilty. Dang it

RoLoMa, +1 on trying not to gain so much. Way easier said than done though.

Same here. I'm still lugging 10 of the 45lbs I gained with DD. And right now I'm up 4lbs purely bloat related. Makes me so angry. I'm working out, drinking 80+ ounces of water a day, and eating healthy. Fuck you first tri.

I just did my blood draw and urine sample for my initial labs. It was empty so it was a quick in and out. Lovely!

The girl who drew my blood today was a wizard. I hope she sticks around.

Pun not intended, but now totally intended after I noticed it.

I've been dwelling on the ultrasound tech telling me I ovulated from both sides. The internet tells me that usually means twins, but she only saw one. Which is fine and great and all, but what if the other one is like hiding or something? What if I've been lulled into a false sense of security? And if it isn't, what happened to the second unfertilized egg? Does it just reabsorb into my body? I thought that was the purpose of a period, to get rid of unused eggs, and I haven't had one.

I'm having a lot of BabyCenter/Yahoo Answers type thoughts over here.

Just saying hi here because I'm too nervous/superstitious/something to do a separate intro. I had a squinter BFP over the weekend, confirmed by a few slightly darker pee sticks since. We've been TFAS since last fall when I weaned my DS (now 19-months old), so I've been testing super early every month. So far no symptoms or food issues to contribute to the discussion since I'm about 3 seconds pregnant. My first appointment isn't till April 17, gaaaah. Estimated due date is nov 29 based on lmp.

Very excited to be joining you all!

@annperkins when is your next appt? My NP said it was too early to tell in my particular case, but we also couldn't hear the hb yet. That's why I am going back in 2 weeks. Is there any way they could just do another US to check? You have a legitimate reason to wonder!

I go back next Tuesday so we can have another go at seeing/hearing a heartbeat since it was too early to see more than the faintest of flutters today. Then two weeks after that to verify my due date. Hopefully both ultrasounds will give me peace of mind one way or the other! Thanks for not thinking I'm a total nutjob.

[izz67]

@annperkins, I'd have some wild thoughts too. I hope your next u/s gives you answers.

IF you did ovulate from both sides, then yes likely there would have been a twin. However, it's too early to tell for sure. That being said, to give you an answer to your question, the "vanishing twin" (Actual legit medical term lol) is reabsorbed by the remaining embryo, the placental and maternal tissues.

OMG. DH got a job offer that will take us to the area my parents live. It's not exactly where I grew up, but would be like "going home". I am so excited. He will get the official offer today and we are going down this weekend to start scoping out housing. We ran around last night and picked up a few things to use to tell my parents we're pregnant. I'm worried it's so early, but I don't know if I can hide it while staying with them. And they knew we did IVF, so I think they are waiting for something. I wish I could have an US though to ease my mind though.
