  • Whine: My first appt for an u/s is exactly 2 weeks away. It feels like forever!

    Win: A meeting got canceled which means I can go grocery shopping instead. Having no food in the house and pregnant is like the worse combination ever!

    Whine: Portland rain sucks.

    Win: My dog and I are going to go visit my dad this weekend in Tacoma. He has an extra room in the house that he has decided to let me decorate on his dime! So excited :)

  • Whine: My first appt is tomorrow, but I highly doubt I'm getting an ultrasound because the office schedules them seperately. I hope I don't have to wait too much longer! Still secretly hoping that they will squeeze me in tomorrow. I have no idea when I ovulated so I just want to see my bean and have a due date!

    Win: Yesterday I had debilitating nausea. Today it is still there but I'm getting through it. Hopefully my attempt to leave the house after DD eats lunch will be successful!

    Whine: PgAL Brain is beating me down with a big paranoid stick in regards to my dating u/s tomorrow

  • Whine: my m/s is kicking my ass today.

    Win: the flour tortilla I just ate with butter was amazing

    Whine: we have a fridge full of leftovers and the thought of it all disgusts me. I don't want to go shopping for food again.

    Win: my appointment is Monday and I cannot wait to see our nugget.
  • Whine: My DR FINALLY decided to see me, after spotting on and off for a week (and it was red with cramps yesterday...), but they won't see me until tomorrow! I just can't shake the feeling that something doesn't feel right.

    Win: DD is adorable. That's all I've got...it's been a long week.

  • Win: DH sent me flowers to work today

    Whine: they are already wilting

    Win: My follow up u/s is on Friday morning!

    Whine: DH was not happy when I complained about said flowers :(

  • Whine: My bloat is so bad today that my pants almost won't button. Seeing I am at work, 20 minutes from home, this is a problem.

    Win: I get to have dinner tonight with my DH without the weird and socially awkward rookie he is training, who has been with him for a little over a week now.

    Win: I got to see my gummy bear during my ultrasound today with a heart rate of 170!

    Win: so far no MS =D>
  • Whine: I'm so tired right now and still need to make lunch for DS who is currently watching some tv because I'm struggling to stay awake. He has one hour till naptime...by then I will probably be wide awake.

    Win: The IL's are going to watch DS Saturday night so we can celebrate our anniversay which is pretty much the only time we ever go out alone.

  • Whine: Took two bites of the Indian food I got for lunch and went "Nope." As the days go by, it's getting to be more of a gamble whether or not I'll like each meal I prepare/buy.

    Win: I like the pear I bought @ the farmer's market so at least I'm eating something.

  • Whine: I feel like absolute crap and I really don't want to work tonight.

    Win: ultrasound tomorrow and appointment on Monday :)
  • Whine- I'm starving all the time. The only food that ever sounds good is something made by a restaurant! I really want Jimmy Johns right now. And I just had lunch.

    Win- My parents are coming this weekend and we are going to let them know I'm pregnant. With twins!!

    Whine- I'm struggling to get the house ready and go grocery shopping

    Win- I'm having twins! That's something that happens to someone else. I'm getting so exciting but still terrified:)
  • Whine - I don't have lunch today so I get to eat out but nothing sounds appealing.

    Win - DH is home tonight!

  • Whine: I'm getting really tired of water crackers.

    Whine: I have a new class starting tomorrow and still have so much prep work to do before I'll feel ready for it...and I have 0 motivation.

    Whine: DH's dad made him his amazing almond cheesecake for his birthday. I really want to eat some of it before it's gone, but it just doesn't sound appealing.

    Win: My first u/s is now less than a week away!

    Whine: My whines far outnumber my wins. :(
  • Whine: I am exhausted, nauseous, have to pee and too lazy to get up

    Win: My boss is out of town, so I am leaving early to spend some extra snuggle time with my little dude.

  • @hfooter I'm in Portland (OR), too! I'm guessing that's the Portland you're referring to? I kind of like the rain, especially the brief torrential downpours. Of course, I've been able to enjoy them from inside so far. I find the first few rains of fall comforting, but it'll definitely get old after a while! 
  • Whine: I'm so exhausted and I'm getting more and more nauseous every day. I'm having trouble taking my prenatals without gagging but I can't find gummy ones anywhere.

    Win: healthy baby with a heart rate of 174 on my ultrasound yesterday. 

    Whine: I have to start thyroid meds for a slightly underactive thyroid. I was told that it is so slight that if I had been seeing an ob or family doctor they wouldn't have looked twice at it but that they are really picky about it in the fertility world. Ugh. 

    Win: the pup snuggled with me while I napped today. It was cute. 
  • Whine: Between insomnia, H snoring, and M waking up at 5:30 I'm really tired today, which sucks because I'm watching my niece (14 months) all day.  Like, she spent the night last night and will be here until bedtime.

    Win: I got both the kids fed, changed, and out the door at a decent time to go feed the horses. 

    Whine: I have the worst YI ever.

    Win: Finally got an appt for my first appt this Friday!

    Whine: It's only Wednesday.

    Win: We have a fun weekend ahead of us.  

    Major win:  Because I am incapable of taking care of 2u2 and making dinner, we are having pizza tonight. 
  • Win: My SIL is having a baby a few weeks before me!

    Whine:  I'm bummed now because I can't borrow her son's baby clothes or her maternity clothes.

    OMG, this! I've had a massive problem with this and when I didn't take my meds, sometimes caffeine helped me focus and  I can't even do that!

  • Whine: I tried to be healthy this morning and had oatmeal for breakfast and have felt like crap all day because of it.

    Win: That means I can justify the sausage, egg, and cheese on an english that I got the last few mornings, and I actually felt like normal for the whole day after eating.

    Whine: My apartment is a mess and I married a pack rat that won't get rid of anything, because he's convinced he'll sell it, use it, need it at some point in the future.

    Win: My sister is buying a house and we're moving in with her so that we can split expenses, she can help with the baby when it's here, and all sorts of other pluses. And we close at the end of October, so that means my husband truly has to get rid of a bunch of stuff because I am not letting him bring it with us. :)
  • Whine: I just want this first tri to be over!

    Win: Reading these posts and realizing I'm not alone in ALL of my symptoms! I love it!

  • Whine: Dear nausea, F. Off. 

    Win: We're booked for Costa Rica in January and I am SO excited I'll be in the second tri by then.
  • Whine: new bedtime is apparently 7:15. I cannot stay up past then. This also means I wake up at 3 for the day every morning.

    Win: I made myself some delicious scrambled eggs with cheese this am because of the extra time. Also my hair looked better because I had more qt with hair dryer. It's the little things.

    Whine: I cry every day on the way to work.

    Win: I haven't cried at work. Yet.
  • @elizabethb3 Yes Portland, OR. It is actually sunny now so that is nice. I just hate the rain because it's cold and usually constant! I was not made to be an Oregonian, but my husband loves it here and my mom is here so it just makes sense for me to stick around. Oh well!

  • Whine: I ordered my favorite meal at panera and then was completely grossed out by it when I got it

    Win: I get to go home later tonight at see my hubby and puppy after being away since Sunday! (And my own bed!)

    Whine: MH had several beers last night and proceeded to tell me that he wants to name this baby (if it's a girl) after his grandma. We already gave our son a family name from that branch. I said "no" but I'm hurt that he would even suggest it. How about honoring one of my amazing grandmothers?

    Win: I'm able to drink a lot of water today. Amazing how much better I feel when I'm hydrated.

  • @hfooter  I moved here about 8 years ago, and the constant rain really got to me for the first few years. I must have slowly grown accustom to it, though, bc it doesn't really bother me as much any more. I'll take the rain over the extreme heat and humidity and extreme cold of the Midwest any day! That being said, I'm sure I'll be really ready for some sunshine come spring! :)
  • Win:had my intake appt for baby today, and got my first appt schedule for October 15th.

    Whine:I have to do a glucose test in the next week before we go on vacation so it's done by my first appointment.

    Whine:I thought hubby was gonna get my craving for dinner tonight....nope. Just threw a roast in instead :(

     

  • Whine: I fell asleep at 2 AM last night grading papers and tests, as well as studying for my own classes.

    Win: to make up for this, I fell asleep at my workstation desk today. And on the metro. And standing in line waiting for a hot chocolate. And in the bathroom (and yes, if you're interested, I was sitting down in the bathroom! lol)!

  • I have to re-reply because something just happened that is stressing me out beyond belief and I'm shaking and livid.

    Whine: The public school preschool my daughter has been attending for the last month just told us today that -- surprise! -- her tuition is actually $200 more than we were led to believe!  But don't worry, she can finish out the week.  Oh, all the other preschool programs you qualify for have waiting lists?  Sorry!  (The story is longer and more convoluted and more infuriating than this, but I can't even....)

    The worst part is going to be telling our daughter that she can't go to that school anymore.  She has absolutely been thriving there and has two really great friends already.  It's going to break her heart.

    Win: Free cookies and fudge in the office!
