DS was up at 5:30 this morning like usual. Him and the dog are fed, peed, and pooped, so now I can finally enjoy my coffee. DS is currently doing belly flops onto the couch from the arm and the dog is side eying him. I need to get a bunch of work stuff and Christmas stuff done today, so fingers crossed they let me!
I'm getting my hair done today!!! I'm so excited- it has been a long while and is looking pretty terrible at the moment. Then it's a weekend of holiday parties. And I have to find some time for wrapping.
Funny story...MH had a Christmas party at his gym last night where he is a trainer. He announced that I was pregnant and then everyone preceded to buy him drinks all night. Cut to 3am when I am awakened to the sound of clanging in the kitchen. A very drunk H is heating up a frozen pizza, which smelled amazing. So of course the two of us shared pizza at 3am . It was delicious.

Oh hey! I haven't been around in forever since work got crazy busy and I've been going to bed at 8. Now that I'm on Christmas break hopefully I can hang out here again.
Dd has been sick for the last week but has been sleeping like its her job so I at least get a break from the misery.
Every time I admit that I'm feeling better morning sickness wise the next day is brutal so instead, "oh, I feel terrible and I might die, and throw up everything I've ever eaten in my entire life..."
I currently have a bit of a mullet going on so I'm super excited to get a hair cut this morning. I'm just growing out a pixie cut so it's not even an exciting hair cut but I can't wait.
Also, how is Christmas only a few days away?! I'm not even close to being ready!!!

I'm lying in a hotel bed as Dh starts to get ready for the day. Today is his graduation!! So until the ceremony this afternoon we're gonna go to do some shopping and eating. We're staying here tonight too... Really missing DD though so I'm hoping to head home early tomorrow.
I'm waiting for my student to show up so I can give him the ACT. There was a party last night that I'm sure he went to, so I don't have a lot of faith he is going to show up on his own. I'm most likely going to have to call home and hope his mom knows where he is or can get in touch with him to come.
My grandma visited from out of state last month and I told her about my pregnancy and my previous losses. I recently sent her a picture of my NT scan. She just texted me asking if she can share the news at the family Christmas dinner tomorrow (in another state). Aaahhh what to do? I love her dearly and don't want to disappoint her, but this seems really really scary to me.
Christmas with my grandma tomorrow. I've got conflicted feelings about it. It will be our last year at her house. My grandpa passed away earlier this year and this was something that was super special to him.

It's nice she asked you! I think if you're uncomfortable with it then you're totally justified in telling her you'd rather wait a little longer to tell extended family. I don't think she would have asked if she weren't sensitive to the possibility that you may not be okay with it.
athn64 I'm so jealous of you seeing Star Wars!! I can't go until after Christmas. I'm sorry about your loss. Holidays are so hard. ((Hugs)) I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.
babyzebra I think if you are uncomfortable then just be honest with her. I don't think you should tell before you are ready.

It is nice that she asked me. I totally caved and told her it was fine. I don't know why I can say no to everyone except for her. I just stress-ate an entire container of guacamole and I'm going for ice cream next. I don't know why this scares me so much.

I'd let her do it, it will make her so happy! Totally get that it's scary, but I'd say spread the joy!
Edit - just read your post.. I'm glad you said she can do it! Most likely you will have a healthy, easy pregnancy and you can both share this memory together.

I have EVERYTHING to do! I only get paid for my high school direction gig 2x a year and my pay was supposedly mailed on Tuesday. It's our Christmas money so we are just sitting and waiting for it to come to do anything! I also close my show this weekend so that's in the middle of all that too. Trying not to stress!!!

That's basically what DH said when I woke him up to ask him what to do (he works nights). He told me that this is the nudge I need to start letting go of the fear I've been holding onto. She did tell me that I have no idea how happy this makes her and that it means a lot to her!

I'll say that when I decided to go public, I felt so relieved afterward. I still have some anxiety (which I don't think is going anywhere), but it actually helped to put my mind at ease after I stared receiving all the well wishes that go along with going public. I hope that you find the same relief once it's out there!

My best friend is visiting until Christmas eve, I'm so happy! I'm putting LO down for his nap and she's downstairs making the Christmas treats I'm gifting. Best houseguest ever.
The main things on my list for this weekend are to wrap all presents and to do my stair master. Will need to get DS outside at some point.
We are doing all hor d'oeuvres for Christmas Eve, I tested out one of my contributions last night, buttermilk fried chicken bites with maple bacon. DH and I finished off almost a full package of bacon. Need to work on the chicken though, not crispy enough.
I'm supposed to get a call back today from the internal recruiter regarding my salary negotiation for this new job. Hopefully then this will all be done and dusted.
DH starts his 2 week vacation today. He is an independent contractor type status at work and so this is unpaid, the shop is closed so he can't work. I think it's a little annoying to have less $$ for the holidays, but he's been working there for 10 years so he's used to it. I'm just hyper sensitive to how tight cash is ever since the BFP.
I hope to get to see my BFF this weekend & tell her our news in person. I can't wait.

I'm with you guys feeling anxious about going public. For me by this point in my pregnancy I'm not so much worried about something going wrong (although there is some of that). It's more that I'm very private, and I'm shy, and somehow broadcasting the news makes me uncomfortable. I've given pretty much everyone I know the right to spread the news because I don't want to.
I'm anxious about going public, but because my Dad ignored our requests to let us tell people, now I'm a little more worried that some of my close friends will hear through the grapevine instead of from me, so I'm going to tell the folks I'm closest with in the next week or so. Still planning on waiting till next month to tell my coworkers.
Eta: when I do tell my coworkers I'm totally going to tell them they can tell anyone they want, because hopefully that way I won't have to tell as many myself.
I also felt relieved when I shared with everyone. The more I thought about it, if I lost her at 17 weeks, probably a lot of people would be hearing regardless. It was really exciting to get all the congrats and excitement, it's like it made up for the struggle I'm having with being excited since I'm nervous.
We are driving to Oklahoma right now with my in-laws! I feel bad, I've already made them stop so I could pee once and we are only 45 minutes in. We are going to see my brother and sister in law. My sister in law is pregnant and can't travel because she's on modified bed rest, so we are going to see them since they can't join in on Christmas Eve. Right now I'm just hoping DS falls asleep so he's not a total disaster the rest of the day!

We're taking DD sledding today, she got a sled from my parents for Christmas (they said we could give it early since we got a ton of snow this week) and has been toting it around the living room so I'm sure she'll love it

We've been pretty productive and it feels good but now I'm exhausted!
DS slept at my in laws last night (his first night away ever!) and DH and I went to my team Christmas party since it was the last time I'll see them. Then we drove around to all of these different stores looking for a fire truck. DS has asked for a big fire truck with buttons for months. It's a simple toy but nowhere had it!! Even Amazon was out of stock. We finally found one, thank goodness.
Then we picked him up, did the rest of our shopping, errands, a d we wrapped gifts. I don't want to do anything else except nap and lay here. Soooo tired!

babyzebra thanks for asking!! I'm feeling much better! I'm only vomiting 2/3 times a day and it's usually right in the morning. After that I can manage with eating frequently and zofran. I'm hoping the next days and weeks only bring more relief!
