I woke up at 3:50 wide awake and ready for my a/s! Instead of sitting in bed looking at my phone for hours I got up, did 4 loads of laundry, had a 1/2 cup of coffee and now working before ds gets up. Maybe I need to get up this early every day! So excited for today and hoping baby is happy and healthy.

This has been happening to me a lot! Kudos to you for being so productive! I usually stare an Pinterest and etsy for a few hours!
We opened the envelope my friend gave me last night with gender pic!! Our official scan isn't until the third but I wanted to know!! It girl number 2!!
I woke up at 3am too because I was super thirsty and then couldn't get back to sleep for a while. I played on my phone for a while, stared at the ceiling, and considered watching a movie. It never crossed my mind to do laundry.
Happy hump day! I wish I could be excited for my a/s this afternoon, but I'm just nervous. I'll let you ladies know how it goes! It doesn't help that DH and I had an argument last night over something incredibly dumb he did. He keeps apologizing for worrying me, when really I want to hear that he won't do it again. Edit: DDed because I'm not totally comfortable having this on the Internet. Suffice it to say, DHs friend did something dumb and illegal and now I don't feel like I can trust DH to use common sense to protect himself from idiotic behavior, even if he isn't doing anything wrong. I have enough to worry about.
vivela, first things first, GL today and I hope that everything goes perfectly!!
Secondly, I caught your post before you edited and I would RAGE so I think that you are fully within your rights to be mad as hell. Hopefully he realizes that his complete lack of judgement affects you and the baby now too, and won't put himself in that position again.
vivela, I didn't see the details, but it definitely sounds like you are completely justified in being upset. I hope that he realizes that it's not just the "worrying you", but the actual behavior that is the problem. With a baby coming you absolutely have enough to worry about, so I'm so sorry for the added stress. HUGS! And GL today!

vivela I hope your scan goes wonderfully today! I'm sorry about the situation with your DH. Don't be afraid to tell him what you need from him - that you need him to say he won't be an idiot instead of "sorry".

I'm in a hurry up and wait mode at work and it drives me nuts. I have 2 big projects to complete today, but I'm waiting on 2 small pieces of information before I can completely finish either.
Last night I was reading a book in bed for work and DH's manager was IMing him regarding work (that DH was actively doing in bed as well). He's been working 70+ hours/week for the last year plus so I told him to tell his manager to leave him alone because he was in bed with his wife. Probably not my best work advice.
I'm really not feeling it today. DH is bringing me lunch at work & I'm waiting in the parking lot for him because I just needed to get away from my desk now!
I had to get into the office 1 1/2 hours early today & then stand for an hour in a meeting, which made my back hurt. Is it Friday yet?
I'm starving for lunch, waiting in a line for food, it needs to move faster.
I've started to get motion sickness recently which I never normally get, it's getting in the way of my internet browsing on public transit during my commute. Yesterday I just about lost it on a very crowded train.
vivela, I don't know what your H did, but in general I agree with your feelings of not wanting an apology but wanting reassurance that it wont happen again. I often feel that way about DH. He is just not a cautious or careful person. He moves too fast and he never looks before he leaps (absent minded, accident prone, clumsy, speaks without thinking, etc.) and I'm like "what are you going to be like with a baby?!" It's super stressful because I feel like I'm going to have to worry about the both of them, and check behind DH at all times. He's always been this way so not much chance he'll change now, even with a kid.
bgkc4 I feel ya! DH has mostly had his shit together lately. Then he comes home with this "well I was in a bad situation and I just kind of stayed there even though it was legitimately dangerous" story and I could scream. He's gonna have this baby on his own a lot! That requires common sense! He did apologize again in a "that was stupid and I'll avoid situations like that in the future" way which made me happier. Plus it is hard to stay mad while finding out if you are having a boy or girl I'll update that in the a/s thread later when I get a chance. I guess everything looks good so far? The tech didn't seem concerned about anything, though the Doctor gets the final say.

Yes to the motion sickness. I never get motion sickness, but at Disneyland in November it totally got me on Soaring over California. I remember thinking to myself, "whoa, this is what it's like for other people. This sucks!".
Just this week, I've started getting dizzy when I stand up too quickly or first thing in the morning getting out of bed. Not fun.

I got dizzy on Soarin' too! I never get motion sickness, so pregnancy is the only thing I can attribute it to.
I feel kinda down about a conversation I had earlier today. I've been complaining a lot about work lately. I am eventually going to open my own practice, but I'm not quite ready yet. In the mean time, I am looking for a new practice to work at.
In my line of work, it's usually recommended to not have a summer baby because summer time is by far the busiest time of year. Well, a potential future employer made a comment to me today about how he's concerned that I'll be having a baby in the summer. He really is a nice guy, but it made me feel bad. I felt almost like I should know better than to have a baby at that time.
In a perfect world we would all be able to get pregnant whenever we wanted and guarantee that we can stay pregnant, but it doesn't work that way. Obviously, I didn't say any of that to him, but the whole conversation bummed me out.
babyzebra I'm sorry. That convo sucks. My boss joked about June being bad timing for him & I laughed it off in front of him but it actually pissed me off. I tried for a long time to get pregnant and I had no control over it & screw him for making me feel even a tiny bit bad about it! There's no planning for life -or death- and there should be no shaming for it either.
babyzebra ugh, that is not ok. Forget you should have known better, HE should have known better than to make a comment like that. Anyone with half a brain should know that many women don't get to time it up perfectly. That is just all kinds of wrong. Your body doesn't operate at everyone else's convenience. Grrr. I'm sorry he made you feel bad, he needs to work on his social skills.

babyzebra I'm so sorry you're feeling bummed about the conversation - I understand why, but it's a bunch of shit and I want to say as much to that guys face.
Shit like that just proves that we are still so far from reaching equality in the workplace.
And frankly, having a baby in the summer is a GREAT time. Sorry it sucks for the business side of things, but it always varies somewhere.
There's no control about any other life event that could still happen during busy season - it's stupid and so WRONG to make a woman feel like she did poor planning because of when she got pregnant.
I really hope you're able to find something and no one gives you grief about the "timing".
babyzebra, that's really shitty and unprofessional that he even brought it up. Sorry that you're feeling down about it and I hope that you find a great practice that is willing to work with you.
