Thursday Thoughts (Randoms)

[dashook]

How is everyone today??  

[goldenlove3]

Today is going to be a crazy day. I have a bunch of stuff at work to deal with before our long weekend. And now I'm going to sorta be working this weekend because I have to test a car (I work in automotive).

I am soooo anxious and nervous for our ultrasound tomorrow. I have to actually write down my questions because I can never remember when we're there. The nurse commented on how I'm one of the easiest patients they have ever had but half of that is because I forget so early.

[kleigh]

Good luck at your U/S tomorrow goldenlove3 ! I too have a crazy day ahead of me at work - just a lot of stuff to do (I work in an office, insurance consulting). And I'm starting to feel bitter that we don't have tomorrow off from work. We're (part of) a bank GDI, so much for bankers hours.

I'm starting o get eager to get in our house. I've been soooo patient since we started renovating last June and I've hit a wall. I don't care if it's not even done completely just get me out of my in laws so o can enjoy pregnancy without tiptoeing around.

[goldenlove3]

kleigh omg I can't imagine having to hide your pregnancy at home. When are you supposed to be moving into your house?

@litera that's totally adorable. And it's hard for things to feel real so early. I just can't wait to tell people this weekend so it can feel a little more real.

goldenlove3 my U/S is tomorrow too and I'm in the same boat. Until I see that heartbeat flicker... I'm having a hard time accepting this right now for some reason. It's very different for me than last time. I'm not underwhelmed about the baby, I'm thrilled, it's just not real for me yet. I keep thinking something is going to go wrong.

I feel the exact same way.  My first U/S is two weeks from today, and it feels like an eternity.

I hope your and goldenlove3 's ultrasounds go fabulously tomorrow!

[kleigh]

goldenlove3 We told them (my ILs) because (a) I thought it would help with the some of MIL meddling issues/queen bee attitude - it has to a degree but she still sets me off and (b) I was very concerned about viability and didn't want to have to explain why if I had to hide all day God forbid something happen(ed). We don't have a move in date, we've relied primarily on MH family/family friends to get this done as the labor was cheap (=mostly free) but that means they can only help in their free time. Right now we're waiting on floors and bathrooms being tiled. As soon as that's done, I don't even need a finished kitchen - I'll be back home lol.

I also feel like it's not real yet. I think telling family this weekend and eventually my first appointment will help.

I know it's not TMI Tuesday but I have a canker sore! I googled cures while pregnant but there was a lot of conflicting information so I didn't want to use something not safe. So I call my dentist and they say they can't help me to call my OB. Ummm but don't you treat mouth problems? Frustrating...

Swish with some diluted peroxide. Amazing how quickly that can make a difference!!

(I am assuming this is a canker sore inside your mouth and not a cold sore on the outside of your mouth, correct?)

@litera - I am with you that this pregnancy is rather different than last time. It's not even that I fear something going wrong, I just can't quite wrap my mind around it yet. Especially with a toddler to chase, I don't have a lot of time to just contemplate and let it sink in.

[calindi]

I would never ever live with either of my inlaws. I'd be homeless first. DH feels the same way. We did live with my parents for 5 months right around our wedding, but that was supposed to be 8 weeks. Shit happened and we got stuck there a lot longer than expected, and while it was far from ideal, my DH did bond really well with my parents.

[cookswithwine9]

Thank you all for your responses on cures! I will definitely be trying some. The OB nurse I spoke with said this isn't my area of expertise so I don't know what to tell you. Thanks... That's why I called the dentist first.

ETA: yes, it is inside my mouth.

cookswithwine9 Obviously, do what your OB tells you to do, but mine allowed me to use Abreva while I was pregnant.

Maybe I have not heard of this... Do you use abreva inside your mouth? I thought that was for cold sores?

I know a lot of people that use those terms interchangeably.  That's why i suggested Abreva.  

Gotcha. I was trying to decide if I was missing something or if that was the case!

Hey y'all! Hope you're all having a good day so far.

Waiting in my OB's office for my 1:30 appt...it's nice having a few extra toddler-free minutes to relax. (Thanks, mom, for babysitting). I just ate a large lunch and would like a nap. Maybe later... I'm excited for the u/s in the meantime!

My kitchen is finally put back together and I have running water, etc again. Hooray! There's still work to be done but at least now I have a functioning kitchen for Easter wknd.

Currently getting an IV of fluids, this morning sickness has kicked my butt. From Tuesday night until late last night I could keep nothing down. The doctors firmly called in an anti-nausea last night and that helped take the edge off and I've been able to get some fluids down this morning.

[goldenlove3]

So sorry rory5280. Hope you start feeling better soon.

We just got back from lunch and have to go to our staff meeting. It's pouring rain out. I just want to wrap up in a warm blanket it and take a nap!

[LizInFL]

rory5280 hope the IV will help you feel better!

[LizInFL]

U/s went fine, everything looked good and they confirmed my EDD of 11/8 I saw the new doctor in the practice and I think I have a couple years on him at 31. He seems great, it was just cracking me up bc he reminds me of my BIL (currently an OBGYN resident).

[dashook]

Hope you feel better soln, rory5280!
Yay for a good ultrasound LizInFL!!

[dashook]

My moms group is meeting tonight and I'm hosting, so I went into the office in the morning and then came home after lunch to work from home get my house in order and nap.

I'm picking up Chinese take out for the mamas but decided to do something special for the kiddos so I ended up baking!

It's kind of sad how accomplished I feel just for doing this.

Edit to add spoiler because it occurred to me that a giant food pic might not be what some of us need to see right now

[tjanca22]

Happy Thursday everyone. I've been in meetings all day and haven't been on TCF much, but just wanted to say hi and I'm glad to hear that U/S are going well!

I hope you feel better rory5280.

Oh no!! That is the worst I am glad you are being taken care of though!

So we are having internet dilemmas at our new house. We were under the impression one service would be available to us but when I called them today they told us they can't supply internet. They only have phones go to that address. Which doesn't really make sense. So now we get to figure that out. So annoyed.

Where the heck did you move nuggetrn ?? Or is it just your preferred ccompany doesn't provide internet access there?

We are out in the country now... so we knew their would be more limited options. DH had verified though through one company that we would be able to get reasonably priced dsl internet. Apparently that was a lie.

So now it is looking like if we truly cannot get the internet through a phone line we are going to have to go with ridiculously priced satellite internet which has a cap on data usage. Which completely freaking sucks and I did not want to have to deal with.

We are 5 minutes from the school in our district (who do they get internet from??), 5 minutes from a small town (who has at&t and TWC available to them) and about 10 minutes from the "city" who can get basically whatever they want.

It's like we are literally JUST out of people's service areas. It's super frustrating.

That blows nuggetrn

Yes it does.

[kleigh]

nuggetrn How are your teeth feeling?! And are you so so happy to be in the house? Minus the Internet issue which totally blows.

[goldenlove3]

Ugh that's frustrating nuggetrn! It sucks to have such limited options to begin with but that is even worse to be so close but not able to get anything.

I am feeling better! I got xrays done and my dentist can't explain why I am in so much pain. But the antibiotics seem to be making a difference which makes literally no sense to anyone. But whatever I guess I am happy to be feeling better. She gave me another rx for antibiotics and a referral to an endodontist should things get worse.

We are not in the house yet. We plan to get to spend the night there tomorrow though! So so so close!! These last few days of work have been sooooooooo slow!!!! We are going to move our bed and bathroom stuff tomorrow and then do the bulk of the rest of the moving on Saturday. Hopefully we will have enough help that we will be able to get all of our stuff in the house!!

I know!! Like seriously people how hard would it be to extend your service area by a mile or two?!?!

Please please please?

[kleigh]

nuggetrn Hey if it's working we don't need to understand why lol. I'm glad to hear you're doing better!! So will you actually be participating in the moving of things and if so do you have a limit/draw the line at what your comfortable moving or not? I'm already daydreaming about moving back in and start to feel bad because I think I wouldn't want to lift much.
