I tried some of the new Babybell flavours at the grocery store (I made the sample girl give me more than one - like chickie, I'm pregnant and in the land of food. I'll buy ALL the food if it appeals to me!) Anyway, I liked the cheddar ones but not really the gouda.
The one I just ate was original though because they were on sale at Costco. (I had some apple cider and ginger snaps just to make the trip worthwhile)
The peanut butter toast inspired me to have some but then I burnt the toast and was to lazy/ impatient to wait for more toast so I just had a pb&j instead.
Worst sleep ever! I cried myself to sleep after an argument with DH. I feel like I have given up so much already, my body, my old eating habits, my feeling normal as I feel like crap every day from HG, I gave up my career (as per his request to "be a good mom" and stay home), I am in so much pain every time I walk or turn over. I have have let him choose where our little one will go to school (even though I was a teacher and think there is a better option for school choice) and last night was the last straw after our class on BFing (yes I will try, I am not 100%comfortable with it, but again I am told "good moms do it") he told me "if I were you I wouldn't risk even one drink and I would stop until I was finished BFing" !?!? Dude I haven't had one sip since finding out I was pregnant, I want the occasional glass!!! I have refused to take Tylenol except on two occasions and rather than be on antianxiety meds like I have been told to I have seen multiple therapists instead all for the sake of this child, I feel like a walking incubator who has no say in anything. I am sorry if this comes off as ungrateful, please call me on it. I am truly happy to be blessed to have this child, today just isn't a happy day for me.
Sorry for the novel, I literally have no one else to rant to my IRL friends are nonexistent.
For the first time in a very long time, I actually woke up cold. I must be getting close. I'm normally very cold-natured, but always burning up when I'm pregnant.
Now if only my feet could pretend I wasn't pregnant for a little while and go back to their normal size. Thankfully, I live in Florida where it's normal to walk around in flip-flops even in 50 degree weather like this morning.

I think you nailed it @zengal I wish MH would just think of me as a person too and that I should matter. I know he cares so deeply about this child but I feel like he has forgotten about me in the process...
@BrittG13 mine too! I actually am kinda looking forward to it a little. I want to know if the contractions I've been having are actually doing anything or if I just have another excuse to bitch about them to everyone for the next month.
@Kllopez1221 I think I will try to express to him in a while once I have calmed down how I feel (otherwise I know he will blame it on being pregnant and irrational and maybe I am) @FhSTAR81 I don't think writing is my strong point, I think it may make it worse:(
@Kllopez1221 that is a ledge I full support you jump! Chocolate ice cream sound wonderful right now, and we need all the extra calcium servings right? Right?
Today is jeans Friday for me, too! I look forward to this day all week. Today also marks 3 weeks until my induction date should LO decide he's staying put. This is making me have all sorts of countdowns happening, the main one being I have 10 work days left until my last day and one of those days is a holiday that I don't have to work. This makes me a happy happy girl because days have been dragging but weeks have been flying, if that makes sense. I don't know if I'm in more of a rush to see LO or to just be out of work. Probably a lot of both
Andplusalso...there is a confirmed Ebola case in NYC which is only about an hour from home. This is WAY too close for comfort for me, let alone a pregnant me. I had just started to forget about the whole Ebola thing when my mom informed me last night this guy flew in and landed at JFK. The news reports say he's only been in contact with 4 people yet it ALSO states he rode the subway and went bowling.
An empty subway and bowling alley in NYC? No. I don't think so. [-(
So maybe it's the whole "I'm 9 months pregnant and getting cranky" but if one more person asks what my birth plan is (natural or epidural) and then proceeds to mock me for it, may get a punch in the face. My SIL who is 5 years younger than me but had her first last Christmas plans on having a home birth with her second child but mocks me when I say I want a natural birth with this little guy who is my first. She continuously tells me that no matter how determined I am or how many reasons I have for not wanting an epidural, I will change my mind because she did. Also I've been having painful pre-labor contractions that are causing my cervix to dilate according my doctor and that I could continue to have these up until he comes which could still be weeks, but who cares what the doctor has to say when the 19 year old SIL is all knowing and those contraction I'M having aren't painful according to her and do not compare to 3 days of pre-labor that she went through before my niece was born. Just to add, I do not believe that women who go natural over medicated are in anyway better or more superior to those who don't! So why does she care so much and feel the need to knock me down every time the subject comes up. I just want to have this baby just so all the speculation can end!

he was supposedly asymptomatic when he did those things. If that is in fact true, then I really wouldnt worry.
Yeah, that's what they're saying. I just get nervous because do we know FOR SURE that the person MUST be showing symptoms for them to be contagious? I just don't trust many people, I guess.
@Jatpa003 I just wanted to add my support. It is hard enough getting through pregnancy and parenting, YH needs to be a bit more understanding and supportive. If there was one way to be a "good mom" or some special formula/protocol...that would actually make things easier. In my experience, there is a million ways to parent and the most important thing sometimes is taking care of yourself because you need to be in a good place.
@AnnieRoo13 - Peanut butter and jelly toast (with a glass of milk and cottage cheese) is now a main meal for me after I was diagnosed with GD. I looooove PB&J toast.
@FhSTAR81 - Good luck with your appointment and with Addison seeing your dog again.
@Jatpa003 - I'm sorry your H is acting like that... I don't think being tired and pregnant has anything to do with how you are interpreting his actions. I'm sure he isn't meaning to, but he is coming off as extremely controlling. I'm sorry but you BOTH made this baby and you should BOTH get to make decision that affect baby. Big hugs to you. Hopefully sitting down and talking with DH will make him realize how he's acting/been treating you.
@Kllopez1221 - If I didn't have GD, I'd be all over that chocolate ice cream. I hope you ate some!
Hope everyone has a great Friday!

@Jatpa003...I'm so sorry you're going through that. I agree with what other PP's have said. Talk to your H about it. I hope he understands and realizes how important it is for you to feel like you're making decisions for LO too. Hugs!!
@MrsG1019...How are you today? Did you end up back at the hospital? Do we have a BabyG yet?
@tarynleann...I hope you are feeling better today and that the Zofran is helping!! Get plenty of rest, momma!!
Thank you @lissydee! That does make me feel a little better. I still wish they would handle people coming into our country a little better as far as making sure they're in the clear. I'm thankful this guy is a doctor and has been checking his temperature twice a day since he returned even though his temp was taken at the airport and he was cleared.
I've been having a hard time keeping up, but can someone fill me in on what is going on with @missnacholover? I could've sworn that I saw a post she was having her baby (or everyone was wishing her luck). Any update?

She had a little taquita!! Check out the nacholover thread. Update is on page 3 or 4.
@Jatpa003 I'll be the outlier and say that this sounds like more than a "men just don't get it" situation. He's being very controlling. You're going to need a very different kind of support when you're managing a newborn. I really think it would help for the two of you to be in counseling together, not just you. He's not helping you take good care of yourself, and that should be his first priority. A third party might help him see that. Big hugs.
@Soonergirl131 shut those conversations down!! You absolutely can do it, and you don't need anyone planting doubt in your mind! And if you change course, that's fine too, but if that's what you want you can make it happen!
IRT Ebola, a million times yes to everything @lissydee said. Unless the guy puked on a bowling ball and then you went bowling with an open wound on your hand and happened to get that ball.....I know people are nervous, but if you're not handling bodily fluids of symptomatic infected individuals, you're fine.

Casual Friday here too! I'm dressed so inappropriately and IDGAF
@jatpa003 - I'm a little late in responding, but I'm sorry your husband is being so difficult. It does sound like his heart is in the right place, but you still need to have a say in your life and your baby's life. You made the baby together so decisions regarding the baby should be made together. I hope he comes around and chills out a little - Hugs!!! >:D<
I'm sad. I ate my last devil's food cake donut for breakfast yesterday and I really want another one now. I'm off the the cafeteria to see what they have!
New girl is complaining about having a bad pain in her side. She thinks she has kidney stones or appendicitis- as per Dr. Google. She went to emergency last night and they confirmed there's nothing wrong with her. Poor darling didn't get to sleep until 1 am and now she's tired and won't stop sighing and complaining.

Re: Friday Randoms
I'm considering getting up. Toast with peanut butter sounds delicious right now.
I think I'm going to go grab a Babybell.
The one I just ate was original though because they were on sale at Costco. (I had some apple cider and ginger snaps just to make the trip worthwhile)
Wish she would not go in and lick him and wake him up before 6 am.
Also peanut butter toast sounds great @annieroo13

@Jatpa003 everyone else has said it well but I wanted to write something so you'd know one more bumpie supports you.
None of my clothes fit so I'm taking that as a sign to stay in bed.
