So I've been up since like 1a sitting at my computer while the guys were sleeping. I go to the bathroom at like 4:30a and as open the door to walk out my roommate is walking toward me (his room is right next to the bathroom) and scared the shit out of me. I never heard him get up or open his door. I almost fell. It's like an hour later and I'm still all jittery from it.

[mrsw062610]

Oh man @led, - sorry! I hate when that kind of thing happens.


Took DD to the doctor yesterday (for her screaming/being upset all the time/not sleeping issues) and he found nothing wrong. No ear infection or anything. My guess is still second molar(s) coming in. Boo. Last night she was in a much better mood and slept MUCH better. I actually feel like a human today - yay!

[thehockeylady]

@led that would scare the pants off me too. MH once just came home early without warning and came up behind me and it took a good hour for me to recover.

mrsw062610 I'm glad your DD slept better! Hopefully it's the start to a pattern. DS woke up screaming at 11pm last night and I couldn't figure out what was up. You reminded me that I should check his mouth today for any new teeth!

[mrsw062610]

thehockeylady, whenever DD is cranky or up in the middle of the night I always assume teeth. And usually I'm right. I hate those blasted teeth!

[redt]

@led, oh man, that would've freaked me out too!

thehockeylady, my DH did that once and I was terrified and then SO MAD!!!!

I continued my pattern of waking up RAVENOUS in the middle of the night. But this time I was prepared and had set something out before I went to bed!

[teraiin]

Another tired day. Zzzzz. Someone wake me up when it's time to go home.

I bought my Halloween costume yesterday... I bought a package of one size women tights that only came up halfway to my thighs. I'd like to see the woman they had in mind when they made these haha Oh well I'm turning them into knee highs #improvising

[k3am]

I'm starting to think there's something wrong with me. Completely not pregnancy related. My skin is just.. gross. And has been since before I was pregnant. I went from having really bad/irritated chapped lips, to the skin around my lips being flaky and gross, now the skin around my eyes is pink, my eyelids are swollen, and they're kind of flaky and gross. My eyes are swollen to the point I feel like I've been crying for hours, and it's just bringing me down.

I went to the doctor for my lips originally in July, and he was no help. He said it looked like chapped lips that had gotten infected, gave me some antibacterial cream and sent me home. My follow up emails didn't get much help, and nothing he suggested helped. The only thing that helped the lips was spending far too much money on nasty smelling chapstick with tea tree oil.

My google searches are no help (and gross pictures which are NOT how bad I look). If you saw me, you probably wouldn't notice any of it, especially since the red gets covered easily with makeup, but I definitely look run down.

Now everyone's going to be grossed out by me. =\

[Ruca]

k3am have you ever tried using coconut oil on your face/lips?

[teraiin]

k3am, Sorry for the skin woes. I don't think your face looks that red/irritated but I guess you did say makeup cover it up?

I have horrifically sensitive skin that is constantly cracking and peeling and is all red and angry looking. Right now it's the corner of my lips. I've never found anything that truly helps except the 'healer' stick from Posh.

Unfortunately the stick doesn't prevent it, it just helps when it flares up.

[k3am]

Ruca, I've tried coconut oil, castor oil, and grapeseed oil. The grapeseed oil seems to do okay for when it gets really flaky.

Hmmm what do you wash your face with? 

[k3am]

Ruca, I usually use the oil cleansing method (castor and grapeseed oil), but when it started getting irritated, I went back to Loreal (that I'd used for years), and when it stayed irritated, cetaphil gentle skin cleanser.

I wonder if you should try J&J baby head to toe wash? I use that on my face. Good luck though, I've got horrible grey hair and still in my 20s and very self conscious about it so I understand how it can get to you... 

[mrsw26]

k3am that sounds like sebhorreic dermatitis/blepharitis. Oil can actually make it worse since it's essentially a yeast issue which feeds on oil. My eyelids (and weirdly, earlobes) get like that occasionally and it's awful! Just like you described. Google blepharitis eye wash. It helps soooooo much. It's a pain in the ass to do but if you do it a few times a day for a while it'll clear up if that's truly the issue.

[tincupchalice]

I've been having to put aquaphor on my face every day, ick.

[snoris]

k3am have you tried seeing a dermatologist? Sounds uncomfortable.

I am getting excited for my Dad to visit. He is driving across the country for a family wedding this weekend. I hardly ever get to see him, so it will be nice. The wedding should be great too except I still haven't found a long sleeve dress to wear! Eep! My body finally started changing... Is it still considered a blump at 10 weeks? I have a little bump between where my hip bones stick out. Hum. That's all the random I have. Sleepy.

[k3am]

snoris, I have been trying to avoid seeing anyone. Between prenatal appointments, DD's appointments/testing, I'm already negative on both sick and vacation time. And of course, they don't offer appointments on weekends or after hours, which would make sense.

[k3am]

I did email my doctor and telling him I'm doing lab work next week for prenatal testing, and if he has any he wants to throw on, especially thyroid panels I would appreciate it. We have a HUGE history of thyroid problems (cancer, Grave's disease, thyroid storm, Hashimoto's, etc.) in my family, and I'm the only one who's avoided them so far.. Some of the symptom's of what one of my sister has (Hashimoto's) I've got, but are probably pregnancy related (fatigue, sensitive to cold, constipated, pale/puffy face), so my mom is worried.

k3am check out gardenofwisdom.com. I had horribly clogged and congested(and incredibly dry) skin from using lush products. I found garden of wisdom on a Google search out of desperation. I've been using their all natural products for almost a year and my skin has never looked better. I feel like there will be a solution there for you! And the owners are so helpful if you email them to let them know what you need help with they can recommend products.

I want to spend all day in bed.

Me too...




Fortunately I only have like 2 hours left of work. (of course then I have groceries to get and gotta get my flu shot...)

[tincupchalice]

I got my flu shot yesterday. When I asked for thimeresol free, the girl was all "OMG, you're allergic? That's so weird! How did you ever find out you were allergic??!" Nope, not allergic, just pregnant, thanks.

People with July due dates have already ovulated!

[mrssqueegy]

I have no motivation today. It's my day off where I'm supposed to be conquering the world and getting shit done. I don't wanna.

[k3am]

I just have to get through today and tomorrow. Tonight, we're watching my friend's son, her c-section is tomorrow. Tomorrow night, DD is staying late at the parent's night out at daycare, and we're going on a date night. Can't wait.

We need a date night but the next one through base that we can make isn't until December, blah.

[k3am]

tincupchalice, I pathetically asked DH.. "But what are we going to DO until 11? I don't even think I can stay up that late!"

[Ruca]

I want to give the baby a nickname since we are team green... DH gave me a few but he eventually said why not just call it baby? I want a nickname! haha Help me ladies??

-Nugget
-Pork Chop
-Monkey
-Tator tot
-Pancake

That's all we've got... Other suggestions are welcomed too
