I can't wait to get home and eat my Cocoa Pebbles.
It doesn't have anything to do with pregnancy, but the "extreme milkshake" line made me want to vom. I am weird about cereal changing the color of the milk.
Gah, I wish we were getting an elective u/s! I am so impatient to find out the sex. Our anatomy scan is February 12th. A part of my would like to do the thing where they write it down and put it in an envelope and we could open it at dinner on Valentine's Day, but I don't see myself being able to wait the two days.
I'm struggling hard with this. Our anatomy scan won't be until like the 17th or 20th which is a month away! They scheduled my next appointment at 17 weeks, so they're making me wait till 21 or 22 weeks for my next appointment. Grrrr!
They haven't even scheduled my anatomy scan yet so I was like, an elective for $60? Done.
I was hoping DS would take to the music of Fantasia, but he hasn't. He's taking all his toys and throwing them around my living room and all over me! Score one Disney Movie for motivation to play!!

I am feeling that way as well lol. And I think it will be happening. I bring it up daily to DH. Patience is not one of my virtues.
Ds is in timeout. He's in his crib crying.. I feel [--] this big.. But he was about two seconds from grabbing a dinner plate and pulling it on his head. Now I know why I haven't been cooking dinner. H is trying to stay away from everyone as he's got a fever of 101. I think I just want to scream right now, I can't get anything finished.
Okay, baby is fluttering around in there and is making me itchy because it's so light! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE?!
At my NT scan the u/s tech advised me that I have an... anterior placenta?... (Is that right? It's in the front.) and because of that I probably won't feel anything until 20-22 weeks. I mean, on one hand THANK GOD she gave me a heads up because I'd be a basket case, but I still have a few pity parties every now and then. :/
I have an anterior placenta, too, and am kind of bummed about it.

Mine has been scheduled. It will be combined with my next appt at almost 20 weeks. Its scheduled for the 26th. I'm sure I'll be one of the last to find out besides those that are waiting. I would love to know now, but I've found with my other two pregnancies that once you find out the sex there isn't much going on until the baby gets here. The later you find out the less time you have in between that drags. JMO.
I just almost cried! Call me crazy but I just felt my little baby moving on the outside. I felt the wave of movement and then pushing against my stomach. Third pregnancy and there is still nothing like it. I love feeling the movement!
Hahaha I just reread my comment and realized what a Debbie downer I was... I'm so sorry! Yes, first one do I know that makes a difference too but it's all good, time is already flying by!
LMAO. Don't worry. You're allowed to have downer moments! This is my first too, but probably not my last. If you plan on having more (not sure what your plan is), you probably won't have the placenta in the way the next time. For right now, it feels like little butterflies in my uterus. It's really really weird.
And the only reason I know what to feel for is because these lovely ladies posted a thread about it back on the board that shall not be named describing the feeling.
Seriously considering going back to chick-fil-a to ask for a refill on my lemonade.
I'm having a pity party after reading that some of you are already almost 17 weeks and are excited about anatomy scans. I'm only almost 13 weeks and the baby is measuring big, but just a day or two under what they would need to move up my EDD. Do they generally do anything fun at the 16 week appointment that I can look forward to?
AND I want soft cheeses and smoked salmon and cured meats. I need to turn off Andrew Zimmerman.
They generally check the heartbeat and pee in a cup. That's about it. That is pretty much how every other appt will go until you get much closer to your due date.

I just made the mistake of brushing my teeth before eating my nightly orange/cutie. I had to settle for an orange since the grocery store was out of cuties

I was worried about it and the color of them made me freak out a little, but they tasted the same to me. I also ate them so fast that the milk never got that dark. Oops. I was hangry this morning.
@wafflesfriendswork Are you a strict rule follower? Cause I've eaten almost everything you've listed... if you're a rule follower, I'll tell you it wasn't worth it.

We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time at mine (they had issues finding it at the 12 weeek and did an u/s instead) so that was neat. But otherwise, no. Weight, blood pressure, pee in a cup, any questions? No? See you next month.

Hugs mama! Some quite alone time for LO is necessary some times. No reason to feel bad about it. Offer him some toys and see if he'll calm down so you can cook your dinner in peace. You have to do whatever you need to survive. One day at a time!
Believe it or not I managed to get dinner cooked, kitchen cleaned, and LO a bath. He's now drinking his pedialyte and I'm going to go take a bath. Daddy can deal with him a few...

My poor kiddo is at the babysitter right now and has a fever I feel so bad for him. I just want to leave work and get him, but there is literally no one to cover my shift since two already called in sick today, one is stuck in town doing an air transfer, and the other already worked an OT day shift.

Also, I'll be 16w tomorrow. How did that happen???
This is my second and I'm still not feeling baby. I was just feeling something but realized I just finished eating my sandwich way too fast and it's just not sitting well
Just ordered pizza and bread sticks as a last meal before my 1st day back to real work tomorrow (been off since last Thurs). Also because I've been sick and darn it I deserve it!
Just got back from my NT scan. Baby was kicking and flopping around like crazy. It was so cool to see! Couldn't see any sex organs, so I'll have to wait 6-8 more weeks for that...sigh. Also, my due date is now July 31, but I don't think I'll be changing my ticker just for one day. I like hitting the milestones sooner anyways.
DD and I are headed in to the city with friends today. Going to Georgetown Cupcake (sluuuuuuuurp!), Chinatown and lunch somewhere. Excited!
I love Georgetown Cupcake! I used to work right next to one and they would have a free secret cupcake of the day that they would announce on FB and twitter. Not sure if they still do that anymore, but it really didn't help when I was trying to lose weight for my wedding!
I am off today. Not because of the holiday, but because I am a RN and worked all weekend. I am tired from that and DD is tired from a weekend with the grandparents. She let me sleep until 930 today! We were both tired so we did a lot of snuggling this afternoon. Just what I needed after not seeing her for 3 whole days!
Got the results from my NT scan... all is well and we have a 1/10,000 chance of abnormalities.
I really need to pack (we're moving in 11 days) and clean my house.

Help me check myself before I wreck myself: **You've been warned, this will be a long one
I don't even know where to start and I'm likely to drive this post all over the place, but here goes... DH and I are having a disagreement/fight. He works 6 days a week, 10-12 hour shifts with Sundays being his day off. I told him last week that we need to make some big decisions, as MIL is foaming at the mouth for registry info. I told him I wanted to hit up BRU and BBB this Sunday. He started off by semi-dragging his feet, saying that he wanted to watch the football games that were on. Ok, that's fine, so we agreed that he'd just stay up after his shift (he works 2nds) and we would get an early start so he could be home to watch, so my deadline was 3pm. Store hours are usually 10-5 on Sundays, and when 11:30 rolled around yesterday, I'm ready to, like, go. He climbs in bed with a snack (not good, since that means he's planning to sleep) and goes off on me for not getting 40 lbs of meat the day before. 1) He asked me to PRICE the meat (he makes homemade jerky and sells it at work). 2) IMO he doesn't have the fucking time on Sunday to get it sliced and marinated and lastly, 3) He's already wasted $200 of meat that went bad before he got around to prepping it. I didn't buy what we usually get, because I just knew he wouldn't get around to it anytime soon and our freezer is already full. I told him it was going to take a few hours, so he knew it wasn't going to be some in and out excursion. So, anyways I get ready and by this time it's 12. I asked him 3 times, 3 TIMES, if he was going and he said "yes," but never attempted to get up. Finally, 12:15 I tell him I'm leaving and storm walk out the door. He then texts me not to drive crazy, since I peeled out of the driveway and said that all of this was my doing and "Ur choice I told u I would go but for some reason u wanna act like a complete bitch to me." I think I'm at my witt's end. I'm not trying to complain about him, because he works incredibly hard so I don't have to, but come on. I asked for help deciding what route we want to take with cloth diapering, sent him links and videos that he didn't bother to read or watch. I'm feeling overwhelmed about all these decisions that need to be made and it doesn't seem to me like he's taking any of it seriously. This "bitch" is seriously tempted to just make all the decisions, by myself, and the next time he wants to go to an appointment or ask me anything baby related just tell him I'll do myself since he apparently already did his job. But then I feel like I am being a bitch and feel incredibly guilty about it, while at the same time so very mad. I've been having really uncomfortable heart palpitations, which I told him about, and all day yesterday, as I browsed ALONE, they were one right after the other. Needless to say, it was not the experience I envisioned registering for this baby. I know you single moms do it alone all the time and you deserve a medal for it, but I just didn't expect that I'd have to. He's been lying about smoking too. I smell it on him and in his clothes and today I found an ashtray in the garage full of butts. He denies it when I've confronted him about it before, but I'm not stupid. That doesn't necessarily have anything to do with this rant, but I just feel a lot of anger right now, which always turns into me feeling sad and guilty. We're supposed to go to Myrtle Beach this weekend to meet his parents, they've rented a condo for a couple months. I was really excited about going, but not anymore.
Please help me out of this funk and tell me how to get a grip.
LydiaDeetz I have to reply! I hope you can take a few deep breathes (this is the therapist in me talking!) realize that both of you are experiencing a lot of stress right now and are coping with it in different ways...some are working out better than others! Be kind to yourself and to your husband...know that you are doing the best you can! Call your doc about the heart palpitations (side note - I have these sometimes too!) Take the vacation and change of scenery and enjoy a change in scenery and spending some time together! I hope you have a better day
