OMG yes TGIF. I have a bridal shower to attend on Sunday but nothing else all weekend. We MIGHT go to the movies with some friends tonight.. if I can stay awake.
What's good out in the movies these days? We are at my ILs still and they only have cable on one tv, hence our tv watching consists of Netflix and Amazon prime so I feel disconnected from the outside world.
Happy Friday!! I have my last RE ultrasound today at 3:00. I'm excited to see the babies again!! Then tonight we are having dinner/watching movies with our friends T/E (the ones going through IF testing) and I'm gonna help them out with the processes, insurance stuff, etc
As far as the rest of the weekend I've heard people say snow?! GTFO of here.
kleigh we were going to see Batman vs Superman. Not sure what else is out right now. Hope your US goes awesome! This is our first week in 4 weeks not seeing our little guy. I'm bummed out.

TGIF! So glad it's Friday! Having dinner with a girlfriend tonight and I'm going to tell her. We are going to Olive Garden, I am very excited for the salad, breadsticks and pasta. Sat we are having "drinks" with the couple who's wedding I'm in in June. I hope the bride takes the news well. I think she will but I have heard horror stories lol
That sucks nuggetrn . So the office will just be closed on Fridays? Do you think they'd hire someone else?
At the moment yes... We won't be seeing patients. We might be open or come in to clean or stock or catch up on paper work though.
I imagine the idea would be to hire someone at some point but it takes forever and ever and ever for decisions to be made and corporate has to approve and like 64 subcommittees have to approve or some crap like that. So it could easily take 6 months or longer.

Ugh! Good luck!! I hope she is not secretly crazy and takes the news just fine!!
Happy Friday! My DH works doubles on weekends so I'm usually home solo with the toddler. He bas been a nightmare lately. It's one tantrum after another. It doesn't help that all I want to do is sleep. I need to find some fun activities for the weekend to keep us sane.
My semester countdown starts today. I have 4 weeks left of the semester and then I am off for the summer...wahoo!
DH left this morning, so I'm on my own with DS for the next 3 weeks. My goal is literally to keep him fed and wash the dishes. H has pretty much done EVERYTHING for the past 3 weeks so this may be a challenge lol.
In other news, my US is this afternoon so I finally get to see my little bean. I keep praying that everything looks good so I can finally relax a little.
I feel for you, danib! I can't imagine being home with the toddler solo for three weeks. I can hardly handle the weekends without my DH. It has been a lot of screen time in my house lately...survival!
Good luck on your US...sending you all the positive vibes!

I've shared this before but I'm MOH in a wedding at the end of Sept. I told the bridezilla (I only say this because she honestly flipped a switch and turned into crazy bridezilla about 2 months after getting engaged) about 2 weeks ago. She has yet to talk to me or even text me since I shared the news. I'm sure she's mad at me and will only text me when she needs me to do something for her. I hope your friend takes it better and is more supportive to you.
Happy Friday. DH and I finally took the plunge and tried CIO last night. I'd say it was successful and I'm feeling much better about our decision. E fell asleep after crying for 40 mins, woke up twice and cried for only 20 mins each time. Then I heard him stir and fuss for a few mins at about 4, but he got himself back to sleep on his own! He woke up at 6:30 but played in his crib until 7. Give me strength to do this again tonight, hopefully it works just as well because H is working overnight.
In other news, it's Friday, I'm off. Need to run to Costco and get some cleaning done. That's all I've got. Good luck at your US today kleigh!

This is the kind of horror story I was referring to! I'm sorry she's treating you like that. The bride already has children so I think she will be understanding. She has also been asking my H and I when we were planning to try.
I am getting some work done while watching Beachfront Bargains. My parents took my son for the morning, because he has been very demanding lately. A lot of anxiety related to the move. It's wearing on me.
After that, the whole weekend is devoted to a dance competition for me. ETA my students are dancing, not me. Lol.

I think *most* women would be happy about it. It sounds like your friend will be ecstatic as a true friend would be.

I was in my SIL's wedding when I was 21 weeks with L. She was happy for us, but also awful about the wedding. I almost dropped out about 3 different times. But we don't exactly get along anyway. In the end the wedding was fine and aside from the outrageous amount I spent on making the dress she insisted I buy fit over my bump none of it was an issue.
I'm sure your friend will be happy for you though!
Hugs @starbuck. You'll get past this part and start feeling more connected. I understand how hard it can be when you're not feeling well and you are just so busy. I don't think you need to feel guilty or feel like you are doing baby a disservice by not being connected right now.
I have a million other things on my plate too at the moment and I'm not even sick! I don't feel all that connected either. Maybe the further along I get, the more my bump grows, maybe after my first appt? But I know I'll be there when it matters, right now I just have to get through this other stuff. Because if I don't do these things now then what good will I be to a baby later?
We remodeled our kitchen last year. It took a good four months. We did everything ourselves. Honestly quite a bit of that was because we were waiting for the countertops to come in. So everything was done for like a month except for the counters and our sink. It was the worst!!
Finally we gave up on the tops we had ordered because we decided to sell the house. Got it finished in about a day and sold the house the next week!
@starbucks27 I can relate and I'm not even really sick. We haven't done any weekly pictures and we are just getting through the week. We are in survival mode until mh takes this test he has to pass in June.. definitely different than last time.
starbuck27 Hang in there! Hopefully the MS lifts much sooner than a month. Are you taking something for it right now? I agree having the week by week journal will help. Also, maybe you could try to steal five minutes to yourself every day - somewhere in between the sickness - to just be by yourself (in the bathroom) and just breathe, take it in, and spend those 5 minutes connecting with baby.
Ugh I am so done with house renovations. We started last June, all we were going to do was put a full dormer on our second floor (we had a small cape cod) and put two bedrooms and a bathroom up there. That turned into ripping all but two walls of the house down (all the way down to the foundation (and we did this by hand mind you) and rebuilding a colonial. I'm so grateful to MHs family who helps us but gawwwwwd I miss having a home. We are just waiting on floors to go in now, then tile work, then painting and kitchen cabinets/counters. When we started I thought it'd be three months TOPS with overage. We are almost at a year.
starbuck27 hugs and sympathy. I SAH and I can't even get basic house chores done, DD is eating cereal and sandwiches because they take no effort, I generally feel my worst starting mid afternoon until bedtime so H comes home to me just wanting to lay on the couch and go to bed as soon as it's reasonable, and until this morning the thought of sex has seriously made me want to vomit. I feel so guilty that I am not handling this well, that I am letting my H down and DD is getting a half a mom, but really this part sucks and it too shall pass.

starbuck27, I can relate to not feeling connected as well, though for different reasons. I'm 6 weeks 3 days and we still haven't told anyone except for one friend each. Last time everything happened so fast. We found out I was pregnant on a Saturday, told my parents the following day, H's parents the next weekend and then had my first appointment with ultrasound the next week at 6 weeks 4 days. From there we just told everyone as we saw them. Keeping a secret for so long makes it seems less real to me I think.
starbuck27 I can also relate. I feel sick every day, especially at night. I feel like I don't have the energy to be a good wife and mom. I can handle one short outing with L a day, but she needs so much more. Cleaning doesn't happen and I rarely feel well enough to cook. We are also in the process of renovating our kitchen and we are buying a new house so that's stressful. So I also don't feel connected to this new baby. I have an app on my phone that has daily updates and stuff, but I just don't feel like I did with L.
I think it's pretty normal to feel like this, particularly with #2. My mom said she had similar feelings when she was pregnant with me and she was sick and taking care of my brother. Right now we just have to survive the being sick and tired part and I think we will feel more connected later on.
