I was happy that no one came to my storytime this morning. I don't have it in me to sing, dance, and read all the stories with a happy face today.

In this situation, do you still sing, dance, and read but with a not-happy face?

[tootsie]

I'm hoping for twins, because it is probably the only earthly way I'll ever get to have 3 kids. There has never been twins in family in the history of ever, so it's not looking good.

Then I just fake it till I feel it.  A librarian that doesn't smile would make for the saddest story time ever.

I know that! You are amazing librarian.

I don't think I was clear. I meant, do you still perform storytime if no one comes?

The mental image of hobbesgal, performing story time to an empty room with a sad face made me laugh.

I finally picked an OB and made an appointment. FFFC: Part of me wanted to just show up at the hospital in 7 months and give birth, 'cause, uh, I just don't like doctors.

I feel the same way. I had a bad experience with my OB when I initially went in for a 2IF work up, and an abysmal experience with the RE. I hate all the docs now.

Plus, for like 6 months, all that happens at the OB checkups is a Doppler check of the baby's heartbeat and a blood pressure and weight check. Obvs I want a healthy baby but it seems so stupid to rearrange my life, take time off work and sit in a waiting room for 25 min for a 5 min appointment.

Yes this! I just had a primary care physician prior to the RE, and she is great. I go in maybe twice a year, and I don't mind it very much. My RE experience was also abysmal though, and I really just want to be left alone now. I also want a healthy baby, of course, but when I called today they said the first appointment could take up to two hours because it was really three appointments in one: ultrasound, meeting with OB nurse, and then meeting with the doctor. It already sounds too much like the RE. I hated my nurse at the RE, hated that my care was filtered through her, and just wish I didn't have to do this.

I'm using being sick as an excuse for not having cleaned yesterday or today. I'm not sick. I'm just over it. K has decided that she must be entertained for 3 hours straight between naps. So is that a clump of cat hair in the middle of the floor? Yes.... Indeed it is. Don't care.

I refuse to eleminate all caffeine from my diet. I still have a cup or so of coffee a day (when I can stomach it). I refuse to drink decaf coffee, for a variety of reasons. And I have a full time job and a toddler. I neeeeeeed my coffee.

[harlowjune1984]

I have several:

1. I have yet to even call and make an appointment

2. With my first pregnancy, we were on this baby high, didn't have a care in the world, had no worries about anything going wrong, told people at 5 weeks, yadda yadda yadda. This one, total opposite. I will be 7 weeks on Sunday, we haven't really told hardly anyone, and I have this nagging fear in the back of my mind....where I feel like I would rather wait until closer to 12 weeks for my first appointment, then now...get all excited...and then have something happen between ultrasound and end of 1st Trimester. Where I go, they usually don't do your first appointment until 8-10 weeks anyway, so really I would only be 2 weeks out of the time when they would normally do it. I know that I am not being rational, as I had a textbook pregnancy with DD (from TTC until 3rd Tri), and no reason that this point to think that something would happen. But I have had tons of friends that have had a lot of issues with their second pregnancy (whether it took a long time to conceive, or they ended up having miscarriages, etc), so it is still in the back of my mind that something COULD happen.

Nobody says you have to give up caffeine, right? You just need to stay under 200mg a day.

Eh, you probably should call soon if you want to come in at 12 weeks. With the holidays, they probably won't get you in till early January anyway.

Prenatal appointments aren't that hard to get into at the place where I am at. They usually schedule 1-2 weeks out. I am not 12 weeks until the end of January, so I plan on making my appointment at the beginning of January (for the end of January). I have heard of some places that are really hard to get appointments at (year round) though. I remember my friend needed to make an appointment and couldnt get it forrrrreeeevvvvvvver. I was like "No, sorry. I would switch places." LOL

I had french fries for dinner last night instead of the shepherds pie I had in the oven.

Eliminate caffeine isn't even in my basic vocabulary. I throttled down to two cups a day with my last pregnancy and that's what I'll do this time.

I did once ask my OB if there was anything I should avoid and he really just said: You live in the United States. The cheese is pasteurized, the sushi is flash frozen, and the deli meat is fresh. Eat whatever you want.

I love your OB.

My eating today has consisted of a granola bar, half of a flour tortilla rolled up with cheese, and I fully intend on getting a Reese's PB cup Blizzard at DQ on my way home from acupuncture. You know, for protein.

[mugster]

I got on the scale the other day, and my weight was up seven pounds from when I got my bfp. Hopefully some of that is just constipation / water weight.... BLERGH

[mugster]

I graded papers yesterday and the grades ranged from 85-93. I'm grading papers today and the grades range from 70-83. I'm not sure if there is that big of a difference in the quality or if I'm just crabbier today.

[allison7]

I am tired and I like a bit of a break between work and picking up DD from my mom's, so sometimes I make up errands I have to stop at so I can get a starbucks and decompress for 10 minutes in my car. alone.

[uniquename]

DH is awesome at supporting me through the first trimester.

I know I would not be nearly as compassionate as he is if the roles were reversed.

It gives me a lot of guilt when he lets me nap while he feeds the three kids lunch on his lunch break. I don't see myself letting someone do that.

And this is why I am avoiding the scale!  I don't even want to know... I need to get my shit together.

I ate an entire cake this week by myself (it was one of like the 8-piece cakes, not an entire sheet cake at least). It's just soooooo good. I'm not buying cake anymore for this reason. I need to stop it!

My DH bought me a mini chocolate cake last week and it was AMAZING so I went and bought the normal size....and have been eating it all week. I plan to get another one tomorrow!

[katelou]

Mmmmm cake!

If I have twins, I will completely lose my shit! There better only be 1 kid in me, and he/she will be the last one. I remember how overwhelmingly hard having 1 kid was for me that I can't imagine having twins and a toddler.

I'm 100% behind you on this one. I would cry myself into a stupor for a solid 8 months at the thought of popping out twins and having a 16 month old at the same time. I'm sure someone out there has 3 under 2. That someone is a better woman than I am.

A girl on my BMB was due with twins May15 but had them early and was already pregnant again by May, I think she will have 3 under 1.
