I'm up north visiting my in laws this weekend. None of their doors lock and can easily be opened so I'm terrified my daughter will just walk out the door in the middle of the night. Also we had to sleep on the floor and my hips hurt.

What? That would freak me out! Can you put something in front of them that she couldn't get past/move?

@cafecreme‌ @Chunkymonkeylvr‌ I actually meant to write "it's more likely the answer is NO," lol. Was typing at 4 am when I had damn insomnia. I figured. Something is going on though. I will call it gas, then.
Now I want BACON.

Also just woke up. I also sadly love chick fil a, even though I don't believe the same way they do. It bothers me when people discriminate in the name of Jesus (who would never discriminate).

But .... Chicken nuggets. Lol. I guess mel has a point. We are supporting the employees.

We just left the farmers market. Last summer we went every single Saturday, this summer I think we've only been 3 times. We got a pesto pizza and I am for sure cooking it the second we get home. I have missed these pesto pizzas.

I'm going to be brave and take LO to the pool today. It's the first time since last summer and I'm scared to put on my swimsuit. So naturally I'm in my pjs and on the elliptical while she naps.

P.S. I haven't worked out in probably 9 months and I ate two egg McMuffins this morning.

melleasndrs

It's so gloomy here today. Wish I wasn't at work so I could curl up and sleep. Plus I want to go home and make bacon and eat ALL the bacon!

Side note. My tailbone and hips hurts like hell since yesterday. So not comfy.

It's a nasty rainy day here so I'm pretending it's fall. I made hot chocolate, have pork in the crockpot, and have a pumpkin cupcake candle burning. I also just bought a new shag area rug for the family room, it'll be so comfy to lay on or have baby crawl on. Plus our dog just pissed all over our old rug. Today's a good day

First timer crisis - I'm a born skeptic. It usually serves me well. But today I'm finding it hard to wrap my brain around the fact that there is a human growing inside me. The books say the heart should be beating by now, and the cord has formed... but I don't feel it. I haven't seen it. I have virtually no symptoms. I can barely believe this is real. I expect I'll damn well better feel differently after my first u/s... but until then, I'm stuck trying to shake this irrational skepticism. I just don't feel that "loved you before I met you" stuff yet. It's more like "BABY? Inside ME?! Hah! No, science is probably wrong. That only happens to other people." Brain, please get with the program. 

We had a mc - so I had lots of testing done early this round.
My due date is 3/24/15. We got an ultrasound last week. Little line to little dot/smudge of stuff and a heartbeat.
If your cake mix worked - you've got a thumping cupcake with strings. So ... Sorry, that vodka and lemonade is gonna have to wait.

@janda426‌ that sounds amazing.

shootznladrz

We don't have Chik Fil A (or however the eff you spell it) in NY so I don't know of the wonders of it, however I have head many wonderful things about the food and not so wonderful things about the owners but i digress. OH THEY JUST PUT IN A SONIC!!! I totally forgot that I just moved like four miles from the one and only sonic on Long Island. 

In other news, I miss my husband. He's at some stupid fire department softball tournament upstate and I'm alllllll aloneeeeee and supposed to unpack but there is ZERO motivation. Ok it's really not that stupid, it's awesome but I couldn't go this year  

I also have to go to work in like two hours and I don't want to.

I am so sad about all these losses today .

mommy423g

I have a load of laundry in the dryer that has been there for a week.  And I really don't care to fold it.  A few more days there won't hurt.

meowkitten

I just ate a cheese & garlic french bread pizza and it was the most glorious thing I have ever eaten.

But now I just want cinnamon rolls...

I'm so happy. After my appt yesterday was a little depressed. The midwife couldn't get baby's heartbeat on the doppler she thought she heard a quick sound,but lost it. I got him today on my home doppler I have been trying for over a week and this is the first time. Saw nice numbers of 169 and slightly higher on the screen. It's a beautiful sound!  Today I am 10 weeks. It's amazing what a day can make. 

I keep meaning to ask you - how do you know the baby is a boy already?

I told dh to bring home fried chicken after work and he just gave me a look. He claims the baby is only the size of a bean so I can't possibly have cravings.

WTF is wrong with SOs that say this?? I don't get it. Seriously.

Ask him how it's going growing a baby. Oh, wait, he isn't. Then he can STFU. 

^This is my standard answer for anyone that has a douche SO that thinks they can tell a woman what she does or doesn't feel during pregnancy.

____ I'm really, really confused about what *any* of this means.

melleasndrs

Hahaha! @FrecklesInside‌ I was trying so hard to piece that one together too. I gave up a few minutes ago. Figured I'd never get the reference.

cmcmahon42

LOL!

It means there's probably a baby in there and it's effected by what your doing. It has a heart beat - even if you can't tell. It's attached to you - even if you haven't seen so yet. Your baking a baby in your uterus oven. Don't drink alcohol.

Because this was a IVF/FET baby. We had PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) it checks all the embroyos and makes sure that they have normal number of chromosomes etc. The bonus is we knew all the sexes of the embryos. We had 11 eggs tested and only 3 were normal and all boys. We decided after our miscarriage to do everything we can to prevent one again. If we had not had the PGD done the doctors would have just picked 2 out of the 11 to place back in.

But no one said anything about alcohol. At all. You are VERY hard to understand.

And this still doesn't answer wtf all this means: If your cake mix worked - you've got a thumping cupcake with strings. So ... Sorry, that vodka and lemonade is gonna have to wait.

This is why I require @estamos_tomamos in my life. She would help me understand the part about thumping cupcake strings. She would know the answer. Or at least have something funny to say. 

I love that goat woman.

What? Nowhere did @mangomimosa‌ say she was considering drinking (or anything else harmful).

cmcmahon42

Ah! Since she hasn't gotten any tests - there may not really be a possibility if a functioning baby. May have all the symptoms - but not everything required for a kid. -hence, the cake mix may not work.

Cupcake - all the basic genetic parts for a possible baby.

Thumping - heartbeat.

Strings - small genetic material to the external portion of the sack that will become the umbilical cord (if it's not technically one already).

Although no one is sure whether there is a possible baby there - she still can't drink alcohol.

It's sunny where I am and I want to sit in my back yard with a vodka lemonade. Sadly - I have to wait and so does she.

Or imply any actual doubt about the presence of the baby.  What on earth?

Just so you all know, if you aren't clicking on FFFC cause that was yesterday and peeps need to move on with life...there is a GBCB in there. 

cmcmahon42

She says she was skeptical that there's even a baby there. I've always thought that the reason your not supposed to tell people in the first couple if months was because of the high risk of miscarriage.
I had a miscarriage - which is why I have gotten testing for early. That's why I can feel sure that if she was getting testing early - and her pregnancy was strong - she would have a heartbeat, an umbilical cord, and a fetus (if they're fetuses yet - not sure).

Do you actually think you make ANY sense??

You make no sense.

None at all.

No one talked about alcohol or whether or not there is a viable baby "in there." What on earth are you talking about???

Please don't try to make metaphors - you can't. It doesn't work.

I'm gonna go drink vodka lemonade until I forget about how confused I am.

Anyway. 

I just had a PB&J, Doritos, and a tall glass of milk. It was heavenly. 

I started taking small amounts of B6 yesterday and it's incredible how much it's helped my nausea.

Dude, I walked away for an hour.  What the heck is going on in here?

@FrecklesInside love you too, but I was totally lost with that post as well.  Thumping...cupcake...vodka lemonade...wut?  My deep thought after reading it was "Drugs are bad, kids."

Damn! If anyone could have interpreted it - it was you. Now we'll never know.

I went to eat Indian food by myself. Normally I hate going out to eat alone, but it was so f'in good. Worth it.

I think this calls for rumchatta cupcakes.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who figured cupcakes is the major takeaway from all of this. 

Yes. Cupcakes.
