Slept till 5. It's a miracle.

And now all of my congestion is breaking up. I feel like I'm drowning in snot

[youdontsay]

I slept in until 6 since I was driving to work today, my dog's snoring woke me up first.

NariaDreaming sorry you feel like you're drowning in snot, that's no fun!

I have to work today, hopefully they let us out early, not because I have any plans tonight, I just want to change back into my pajamas and hang out on the couch!

Dh woke me up while he was getting ready for work at 4:30am ugh. I have to pee so bad, but I tried sitting up and almost puked everywhere. Now I'm debating which is worse, puking but emptying the bladder or try to get back to sleep without peeing. Ugh. First tri BLOWS.

[dc2london]

I slept like rubbish :/

Now i need to power clean before IL's get here and there won't be an opportunity for a nap. But the kids will be so thrilled to see their grandparents so I will focus on that

[jamjoyful]

The baby woke up 20 minutes ago and is fighting sleep. I feel exhausted.

Not related to sleep. Since finding out I was pregnant, SO and I watch a video every Wednesday about baby's growth. SO actually asked about watching it this week. A Day! We looked at different how big is baby sites because the video said baby was then size of an Olive and we don't like olives. So we agreed that baby was the size of a tater tot.

I almost killed DH this morning when I woke up to him farting for about 5 minutes straight.
Made me stabby.

[twinkie0612]

My sleeping through the night streak ended at 2. Woke up at 1:30 to pee. Then the dog woke me again at 5:00.

NariaDreaming I feel you on drowning in snot. I have had serious sinus drainage since about 5 weeks. I take Benadryl and Zyrtec daily and nothing seems to dry it up.

I am going to have to take a nap today if I want any chance of ringing in the New Year. I've been asleep by 7:30 the last two nights.

[fishchicks]

twinkie0612 - You're a better person than me: I told DH last night that we're going to celebrate New Year on Paris time, which will be about 7 pm here in Minnesota! I know there's no way I want to stay up until midnight, especially since I'm awake by 4:30 every day.

[juliayadda]

Got up early because I am going to go meet someone to buy some used cloth diapers because apparently in my mind 5 weeks pregnant is time to BUILD THAT STASH!!

[liljackjack]

Lilly man is sick today didn't sleep well, a fever of 101 this morning and a very congested cough.. taking him to the pediatrician.. hoping it's just a cold.

I told my mom I was going to celebrate New Years in London.

I am so excited to bust out my newborn fluff again!!

[dc2london]

I feel like I made it sound like I am not looking forward to seeing my IL's, that's not the case. They say weird and offensive things sometimes and they don't recycle, but they really are wonderful people and I adore them. Should be a fun weekend

I wanted 2 under 2 so I could buy more fluff...

[catlady22]

I am going to my sisters nye party tonight. Pretty sure I won't make it to midnight.

[gratefulgirl]

Tried Diclegis last night. I don't know if it's that, the fact that my OB put me back on baby Aspirin for first tri (thanks MTHFR), or just general first tri-ness, but I feel miserable. Started puking through the meds, which I've never done before. Almost fainted in the shower. May go back to plain Unisom tonight and see if I do better.

Does the baby aspirin exacerbate nausea? I take it as a precaution bc I had pre-e with DS1

[dc2london]

So, my pregnancy nose is so fierce that I can smell my own house smell. YOU CAN'T ESCAPE YOUR OWN SMELL. I have eleventy air fresheners plugged in now

I don't remember it doing so with DD2 or having ever read that it does. I'm just trying to figure out what changes that I went from "sort of sick" to "vomitting despite medication."

You probably just hit some magical line in the sand of fetal development. It changes that fast sometimes

I'm feeling so pukey right now. On one hand, I would feel so much better if I puke, but on the other hand, I'm at work and puking at work is really, really unpleasant.

[misshart00]

After yesterday's post and this one, y'all are going to this I'm super paranoid. I promise I'm not.

DD (2 years) woke up early this morning screaming for mommy and daddy. When I went into her room, she kept saying something, something, "outside." Then would point at her window and say "scared." I think she just had a bad dream but that was really weird.

So I bought 4 dozen used newborn Prefolds last year when we thought one of our twin transfers would definitely work.

I have a suitcase of cloth at my moms house, lol

You can never have too many prefolds, especially with a newbie.
And cotton prefolds are perfect inserts for pocket diapers (run away from microfiber, run away fast)

[thelorax]

I slept terribly, which seems even worse since I went to bed a 8 last night. I also woke up with a full blown cold. I am so so glad I can WFH in my pjs today.

I know lots of people don't like microfiber, but we have a mix of bamboo, hemp, and microfiber and have honestly never had an any issue with any of the materials. We have great water so maybe that helps? 2.5 years in and the most we do is run them through the wash an extra time or rarely two.

[jamjoyful]

I have the worst poop cramps. I hate this irregularity.

We have a mix of everything as well, but haven't had any issues with microfiber.

I'm still trying to convince MH that I want to cloth diaper. Any tips to convert him? My only argument is "I was a cloth diaper baby and look how well I turned out!"
