Nearly Friday randoms

[leekpartyof2]

Random with me ladies. It's grey and rainy here and I'm seriously lacking all motivation. Distract me please!

Also--breakfast this morning was a chocolate chip cookie and it was beyond awesome.

[cakewench]

It's super rainy and gross here too. Plus H is off today so it was super hard getting out of bed.

[ars093s]

It's 9:20am and I'm heating up my lunch. A bad sign for the rest of my day...

[mleep]

The weather here is pretty nice today. I'm home from my business trip so life is good.

And...I graduated from my RE today!!! Still waiting on bloods to see if I can fully stop the meds, but no more waking up at the crack of dawn on Thursdays! Baby's heart rate was 173 and measuring a little over 9 weeks, so perfect! What a relief.

Must put in extra time today since I know my noon appt tomorrow will probably take like 2 hrs at least because my dr office can be so slow! And I don't want to come back to work until like 6 on a Friday night. But I don't want to work more.

Nothing exciting today though. Got my bagel so hopefully it will keep my nausea at bay.

[cakewench]

Congrats mleep!

I was lazy and exhausted last night so I didn't clean out my salad container for today. No big deal, I told myself I'd just go get a salad at ABP to go with my leftover chicken at lunch today. I also forgot to pack a granola bar (I just need something sweet after a meal, I'm weird like that), so I decided just this once I can get a chocolate chip cookie.

I go to ABP, there were NO chocolate chip cookies. I went out in the rain and everything. Sniff.

Looking forward to salad, though. I had an aversion to it last week so I'm happy to get more veg back in my diet.

Today is my last day of progesterone. Words cannot express how excited I am about this.

I'm hoping it's mine too! I was on 3 suppositories plus up to 4 pills daily. Now only on the suppositories, but yuck! Congrats on being done!

Hey, did you know - ALL SMELLS ARE DISGUSTING!

I'm in the office today and am overwhelmed by every smell around me. My coworkers' perfume/cologne are oppressive. Their lunches are awful. The bathroom is a horror show. Ugh.

[mrscatfarmer13]

DS woke up crying with an ear ache, so I made a trip to the pedi before sending him to DC. He has an EI, but we caught it early so hopefully, he is 100% soon. Now I'm trying not to eat everything in sight at home.

[mrscatfarmer13]

Oh and I scheduled my n/t scan for 6/6. It seems so far away, but I'm sure it will be here before we know it

Yeah my plant manager had some awful summer sausage in the fridge and it made me want to hork every time it was opened. And that is how he found out I'm pregnant.

Summer sausage sounds delicious right now. Lol.

So my company is doing a "food truck" day today. They basically bought all the supplies to do a cookout and are letting a local animal rescue serve and cook everything and 100% of the profits go to the rescue.

There are six adorable puppies outside and two have been adopted already.

My grilled burger is delicious.

We should do this more often.

[mrscatfarmer13]

That sounds fun rooskie My company has done food truck days before, where they host actual local food trucks, and those are the best (and most expensive) lunch days! How am I supposed to choose between a gourmet hot dog, BBQ, or tacos?? Oh, and let's not forget gourmet popsicles.

YAS! So happy for you!

I stopped in Starbucks and they had GF thin mints (Goldie Girl Cookies Mint Slims) and I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. Seriously, these might be better than real thin mints.

Congrats on being done jrun2013. My RE told me I could stop, but I feel too nervous still, so he said to go with a taper. It's such a huge treat not to be doing them in the AM too. Though my bowels have been a little mixed up since I stopped the AM.

[notelsie]

I'm hoping DS will nap soon so I can too! I'm so exhausted all the time. Sometimes I want to cry because he sleep strikes so much lately.

I'm looking forward to that energy I'm supposed to have come second tri.

8w today! Every week is a milestone for me to celebrate. I think this calls for ice cream.. I mean veggies and dressing. *whistles*

[Deleted]

I only have one cookie left and I AM SO SAD.

[notelsie]

How many weeks are those of you quitting progesterone?

I was 12w with DS, but I'm being told to stop at 10w. Of course my numbers were better this time so I guess it makes sense?

@officedronette, I'm sad for you and wishing I had a huge, soft oatmeal raisin cookie to eat.

My RE said that in his opinion from review of the literature, that progesterone is most effective until week 6, and then it doesn't do much/anything.  He said they continue for so long as a "just in case" but that I should feel free to discontinue.  (I was 8.5 weeks at that appt.)

That makes me feel better, thanks! Just 2 more weeks of progesterone! Whooo!

Milestone for sure! The love:hate relationship with progesterone is real.

[ars093s]

mleep, congrats on graduating and a good scan!

typo31, I can smell all the things too. I kept smelling pee in my house this morning and finally realized H forgot to throw away the diaper when he changed our DD after she woke up. The scent was so strong!

mrscatfarmer13, sorry about the EI but glad you caught it early!

[lycih]

At the risk of sounding like a complete asshole...

I really, really didn't want to buy any new maternity clothes this time around (same due date as DD1, and DD2 was a late fall baby... So the seasons have more or less aligned)
I'm ten weeks tomorrow but I look 15w, I swear.
I pulled out maternity pants, but nursing has me 10lbs lower than I was when I got PG with DD2, and 20lbs less than DD1, which is when I bought 90% of my maternity clothes. So they're all too big. Which makes me mad. Even though it really shouldn't.
It's so, so stupid but I DONT WANT TO BUY MORE MATERNITY CLOTHES.

I would love an oatmeal raisin cookie. DH hates them because he thinks raisins are evil chocolate chip imposters.
