I'm just procrastinating at work... I have stupid spreadsheets to do, but I don't want to!!

[titania]

I guess it's just me this morning...



well me and my spreadsheets... 

[amiet79]

I'm here! Just dropped DS off at preschool. Now DD and I are hanging out. I'm putting off doing laundry. I want to go back to bed.

What's your job, titania?

Omg. This is tragic. I've come!

My first appointment is scheduled for October 20th, which is exciting. My phone always Autocorrects numbers to other numbers, which is not. Took many tries to get the above date not to be random numbers in the hundreds and thousands.

[titania]

Hello! Laundry is the worst... I don't blame you for putting it off! And for wanting to go back to bed.

I work for a small firm that does Naval Engineering. I am one of three people in the back-office, so I do finance, HR, contracts, etc. (many hats!) Today is invoicing, but I have very limited motivation!
 
eta a tag! amiet79,

[titania]

ArgyleEnigma, it was tragic! I was actually forced to do some work My first appointment is Oct. 23! I am pretty pumped! I got a bunch of paperwork thru the doctor's online portal, so I have been trying to read and remember everything I am supposed to do and not do.

[amiet79]

Laundry is awful, but I guess I should do it if I don't want us to stink and look like hobos.

I don't blame you for not feeling motivated, titania. Sounds like a lot of work!

[amiet79]

I haven't made an appointment yet. I guess I should soon. When I was pregnant with DS, I was panicked and made an appointment right away. With DD I went around 8 weeks. This time, I'm like meh maybe I should go in November.

Thanks! Honestly it is not too bad, I'm just being whiny today

At my house, I am the magic wand. No complaints tho--DH does *everything* kitchen, from cooking to cleaning. Swoon.

[athn64]

My appointment is Nov 2. I called right away so that I could get the time and day I wanted
They never see you before 8 weeks at my ob unless you are high risk


And DH who wanted to wait til after the appointment to tell family and such has decided to change his mind.

Newb question-- won't your doctor decide when they want to see you? Mine didn't exactly request input, lol.

[ArgyleEnigma]

Since I bothered to look it up/calculate it, I'll share. I was worried about flying in 1st tri, because of the increased radiation risk to rapidly replicating dna. I did the math based on my old imaging modalities lecture notes, and my 3 hour flight is only the rough equivalent of spending a day in Denver (1 mile above sea level). So...not dangerous. Although there are some real weirdos coming out of there, so you never know (ohai, MIL!)

MH does that sometimes too!  He's like I needed undershirts, so I just washed them.  What?!  You couldn't have thrown some of my stuff in there?

We don't have a washer-dryer in-unit, so laundry is an Event. None of this one-load stuff. I legit have a laundry wagon.

Two thoughts... One - I didn't know about increased radiation risk... I feel like I am a total noob!  Two- what exactly is imaging modalities?

Yeah. he totally could have separated the Laundry. Apparently he needed underwear. Well, there was more than just underwear up there

My OB won't see me before 8 weeks either... I was so excited to call and schedule and it was a bit anti-climatic.  "Oh great... we'll see you in a month"

Lol. Yeah it is a bit like that. But it also got me my prenatal prescription. So at least there's that.

Just a way of saying types of imaging. Like MRI, CT scans, and x-rays are all imaging modalities. Yeah, planes actually expose you to more radiation than the imaging they use at security, just because they're so high in the atmosphere, and atmosphere is what blocks most radiation from the sun.

This exactly. I was like, you don't want me to come pee on anything? But that isn't like the movies at all...

[broadwaymama]

I'm trying to make a damn appointment but I can't because my phone has no service yet I can be online?! Ughhhhhh

[shoogars]

I don't mind doing laundry, it's the putting it away that I can't get done. DH will do a load for just his stuff, which irritates me to no end.

I get to go for my first ultrasound next Wednesday, I will be a day short of 6 weeks. Which will be nice but also not, because it's so early I know there's a chance I won't see a heartbeat, even if everything is fine. I get to go early because of past losses, AMA and hypothyroid. Yay.

Ah got it!  I had no idea about planes... I guess I should have, but I never thought about it!

Newb question-- won't your doctor decide when they want to see you? Mine didn't exactly request input, lol.

When I got pregnant with DS I went to walk-in and I peed on a stick. It was negative so they sent me for blood work. And that came back positive then, I had my next appointment at 7 weeks. I'm in Canada so, I'm guessing it's a bit different and it depends on the doctor. With DD, I already had an appointment for a physical and I happened to be 8 weeks when I had it so, I just told my doctor then. 

[titania]

broadwaymama, that is frustrating!

shoogars, I leave piles of clothes on my dresser for weeks... it's just easier access, right? I'm sorry for the reasons you have to go early, but hopefully everything will go well for you next week!

That is scary, shoogars, I'm sorry. I hope you get an early heartbeat.
