DD threw up 3 times so far today. Of course I can't leave work early to be with her, ugh. Also please let the puking stop at her, we just got over the colds. I don't think I can handle the stomach bug making it's way around our house now.
Oh god the puke! I hope it's just a quick thing.
We had 12 kids puke yesterday at my school. There are only 400 kids at our school. 60 kids were absent today. This puke virus is no joke
ginabini you're absolutely entitled to your feelings. You can be thankful for the ability to conceive and bear a child while also disliking the process.
It's also totally acceptable to be annoyed by your children while loving them more than anything in the world. Motherhood is full of conflicting emotions and desires, but none of that means we want it any less or don't deserve it.
DH and I keep having "what have we done" moments with having a second. Like, why are we starting all over? I can't believe people want to do this many many times.

That's crazy! It was going around DS's school last week too (7 kids out in one day) but he never got it. I'm assuming that's where she picked it up. I just wanted a nice relaxing weekend!
I agree with you. I am excited for the baby and I was with ds too. But I hate being pregnant. My body hates it as well. If I didn't have hg both times, my feelings would be different. It took a lot of convincing to do pregnancy a second time. But, the end result and ds having a sibling is beyond worth it.
I think the loss moms and trouble conceiving moms get lots of respect and love from me. It isn't easy.
MHs on vacation for two weeks. I'm kind of the opinion if he's home he's just screwing up my schedule.
Totally on board with this opinion. My husband took 2 weeks off in between jobs, and while the extra help was nice at times, I just felt that he got in my way and messed up the schedule. And nap time is my time to do what I want - if that involved eating a bag of jelly beans then so be it. I don't need him hovering and judging.
But having a high chair there is actually really useful , especially if you have a lot of family gatherings and holiday dinners there. My kiddo used the high chair from 6 months to 2.75 years so it was one of the baby items with the longest useful lifespan.
What made you get rid of the highchair katelou? My nearly 2.5 year old is still in his. Part of me feels like it's time he sits in a real chair (he's totally capable and does in non-food situations and also in restaurants), but I like having him contained. Keeps the food mess in one place and also keeps him at the table to hopefully eat something instead of running around.
Thanks ladies, the actual appointment itself went really well. He said I was measuring almost 3 weeks ahead!! And based on my old ultrasound I have placenta previa so if that doesn't fix itself then I'll need a c-section but I can go back to work even with that. I go back to see him in 3 weeks and if there's no more haematoma then I go back to work full time the next day. In the meantime he was a lot more chill and told me to think of it more as "rest" and less "bedrest" I'm allowed to do yoga and arm exercises and very short walks outside

Yes all of this!
ginabini - And you don't have to have had a rough pregnancy to not enjoy it. I personally had 1 really easy pregnancy, and this one is appearing to be the same (I'm very thankful and lucky). But I still don't like getting larger. I miss not having my hormones be completely out of wack. I miss drinking. I hate breaking out all the time. Yes, those are superficial reasons, I know, but it's still not a process I enjoy, despite being very thankful that I get to experience it and didn't have to battle infertility to get here. So overall, I think it's a totally acceptable feeling to have (and express to an appropriate audience).

ginabini I feel you. I wanted this pregnancy more than anything, struggled and cried and did treatments and had cycles cancelled and almost didn't get IVF. But I hate being pregnant. Always have. My kids are worth every miserable second and I knew it would only last 9 months but it doesn't make this easier. I just want to be able to eat and breathe again without feeling like I'm going to burst. I struggle feeling like this because I know how many others would give anything for the chance and that I jumped through physical, emotional, and financial hoops to get here myself. But it sucks. And it's OK to say it sucks.
