I got my hair done and I'm so happy I did. I actually look like a human being and not a frazzled mom to a toddler. I'm so tired. I don't remember being this tired last time. Maybe because last time I didn't have a toddler. Ugh. I was banking on DS' nap so I could nap but of course, DS didn't nap!!! I am currently laying in bed because I told DH I had to go lay down for a bit. MIL and FIL are coming over later and we are going out to dinner with them. We are probably going to tell them because they will question why I am not having a glass of wine. I'm fine with them knowing though.

It's definitely harder this time around with a toddler! Mine has been sleeping like crap lately too.

Have fun tonight!
Yeah, I don't really remember being so tired when I was pregnant with DD but I'm pretty sure that's because every time I felt tired, I could just lie down without thinking about it!

Morning sickness is really kicking my butt this weekend. I've been puking and exhausted. I think part of the exhaustion is dehydration-related. I am taking diclectin and zofran which usually helps me a lot but not so much this weekend. And I feel bad because DH has been on his own with 3 kids for most of the weekend!

I agree that I don't remember being this exhausted. That is basically the main "symptom" I have these days. Why don't kids just sleep?! Someday they will be exhausted adults like the rest of us and wonder why they fighted it all those years.

I hope it eases up a bit for you. You're creating a tiny human, your hubs can handle the kiddos for a minute.

We got mexican food for lunch and it was delish. Now just counting down the hours before the toddler is in bed and we can watch the finale of 13 reasons why.

I look 3 months pregnant but don't have any other symptoms just yet. I'm trying to take full advantage of it because around week 6 is when shit got real for me last time and then I was miserable until 3rd tri.
H decided we aren't telling his parents this weekend. He wants to see the ultrasound first. I don't blame him, but he's gotten my hopes up twice now. I've really wanted their support, but I can wait if that helps him.
My symptoms all vanished besides exhaustion and mega bloat.. trying not to worry.
My only real symptom right now is exhaustion. I slept well last night, but was wiped by DD's nap time today and took a nice afternoon nap. A bit of bloating too, although that's probably partially related to not making the healthiest decisions the past few days.

I feel like my symptoms keep changing and it has me all sorts of paranoid 5/4 can't come soon enough

H is working today so DD and I went to Target and then the park. I got my final paper proofread and submitted during nap time. Just made steak teriyaki stir fry with rice for dinner. Now bath time and bed. Early pregnancy with a toddler been no easy feat so far. Hopefully she keeps me active enough that I don't weigh 2 metric tons by the end though! 😊

babydsmama Yes! Last pregnancy I was so sick that I only gained like 8 lbs. then was 30 lbs lighter at my post partum appointment. I of course gained it all back and I'm hoping I don't gain a ton of weight this pregnancy.

bradysalon I gained 65lbs with DD and was not where I wanted to be with my weight when I got pregnant this time. I'm hoping I can gain less weight this time!
I see you, toddler mommas. I still remember a mother of two in the elevator with my first pregnancy reminding me to enjoy it because I'll never get to be pregnant in the same way again.
I'm feeling very worn out today. L is being more and more tantrum prone, and weaning has made bedtime much more complicated.
I'm so glad we moved close to my folks. After she took a crap nap, we drove to my parents where they fed us AND watched the tot while we all watched Moana.
Emotionally I am more stressful today than I've been in awhile. With our losses, we had no therapies. With L, I was on four different things. With this pregnancy, the doctors I've seen said in their opinion, the risks of 2/4 outweigh any benefits and to leave them off. I'm getting panicky that I need something in those and that this pregnancy will fail because of it. PgAL brain is such a bitch. So glad I get regular scans and hoping that Mondays is reassuring.

Me too. With DD1 I gained about 60 because I didn't work out much and took the eating for two to an extreme. Last time I was much better about working out and eating healthily and was within a normal weight range. Hopefully I'll do the same this time, but right now my motivation is lacking.

I go here. I gained 50lbs with DS, and I still had 10 to lose.

Add me to this list. I destinctly remember being sick from ~6-16 weeks and thinking it would never end. Like most of you, I'd probably welcome some type of symptoms at this point. So frustrating and scary.
notelsie I'm sorry you can't tell your in laws yet, since you want to. When is your ultrasound?
It's ok, I know it's still a huge adjustment since our loss is still fresh. I just want the support. If he's not ready I'm happy to wait.
Our u/s is 5/3. I should be about 6w6d.
Have you told anyone close to you yet? I've only told my best friend, but the support she has shown me has been indescribable. We are all here for you, of course.
I think that guys handle losses so differently. I feel like most guys have this instinct to protect us (and their family), and when something like a miscarriage happens, they're so thrown. It's completely out of anyone's control and they can't "save us" from the hurt. Obviously I'm not a guy, so this is just an outsiders experience from what I went thru with my husband. He really felt like his hands were tied, and he wanted to save me/himself/our family that hurt moving forward. Anyway, I wanted to say that you're being amazing for supporting him. I hope he's been there for you, too. It'll be perfect when you guys are able to spill the beans. Keep leaning on each other for support during these early, scary days.

I have told one friend that I work with, and she's been really great about it I'm not really ready to tell anyone else outside of our parents yet.
I think you are absolutely right, while we are experiencing a lot of the same emotions there are other things being dealt with at the same time that the other person may not necessarily understand. He's been a great support to me so I only hope I'm that way for him.
