A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

No random up yet, so I'll start with mine!
I owe a huge thank you, chocolate cake, and scissoring to @MauiBliss , @jessuhmarie, @frecklesinside, @chrain, @wendyld, @BostonAllison, @meladoriestar, @nomnommama, @ToasterCat, @estamos_tomamos and @chaysefaith!
You all are amazing to work together to get me a doppler, and being able to find the baby's heartbeat right away last night was so amazing and reassuring! Whoever says this board isn't supportive can suck it. They don't know what kind of amazing people they are missing out on.
((Hugs))

Re: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Enjoy that Doppler!
I am SUPER excited that it's the Jewish New Year and I have the rest of the week off from work. I can definitely use the r&r time to get over this cold!
@MauiBliss old navy usually has some pretty good sales. And check ann Taylor loft online. Look at the clearance section. I like their maternity stuff a lot.
I'm home with a sick toddler. :-/ at first I thought it was allergies but nope, cough and fever. Poor little E.
Good luck to everyone with appointments today.
I have so much mucus build up and congestion that's bothering my throat and making me wake up with the stuffiest nose. And then I'm sneezing a lot. Weather change is getting to me, but I'm loving the dropping temps!! I have a shit ton of work to do today so I'll be in and out. Hopefully it's not Troll Tuesday..
13 weeks 2ma!
My random: I've been battling a stupid migraine on and off for the past three weeks now. It's no fun. It's like I wake up and roll over and the pain is back in my eye socket and I just don't want this anymore. Luckily I've managed to keep the brunt of the pain at bay most of the day while at work, Friday was rough though and I spent the entire afternoon/evening in bed when I got home. Other than these migraines I'm feeling fantastic, which is super nice. I wish they'd just go away so I could, idk, enjoy the second tri a bit?
Also, we registered this weekend and holy overwhelming Batman. We registered for a bunch of small things and then I went home and did loads of research on the big ticket items. We've got infant travel system/strollers narrowed down to two but I'm still very up in the air about a car seat for later after baby is too big for the infant carrier.
STM(+) do you recommend a convertible car seat and if so, which brand? If not, what was your reasoning?
"Serious is only something you have to be until you can be silly again."Aww you ladies are so awesome for getting @peledreamsofrain a doppler.
@nomnommama Hope the little one feels better soon.
Oh honey, @suzyq0525 I'm so sorry you reacted to the drink that way. (hugs)
@adouces06 Hope your experiment pans out and you feel fantastic today.
@mauibliss Call me cheap, but I plan on frequenting the Good Wills around town and trying to nab some clothes for the fall/winter. Luckily I live in a Navy town that has a lot of turnover so I'm hoping there have recently been lots of very generous pregnant Naval wives.
Two words that will change your life @cinderella105 Neti Pot. It is both the greatest and the worst thing in the world when you're congested.

My Ovulation Chart
And somehow I caught a cold. Last night out of nowhere my throat got really sore and swollen. I slept like crap because of how terrible I felt so I feel even worse today. I don't even know anyone who is sick and I stay at home with DD, how the hell did I catch something?? It's going to be a long day.
And it's H's birthday today. So I should probably go get him a card and make a cake or something for him.
@suzyq0525 Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! That's the worst! Don't think about it too much though, I'm sure you're not the only person it's ever happened to! One day...maybe not for awhile, but eventually you'll be able to laugh about it, so try not to get too down, just make it through and plan to reward yourself with a treat later to help ease the pain of the day.
@jcar2 My car is on the smaller size (Impreza) so thanks for the angle adjuster tip, I'll probably need it.
The Diono and Britax were the two brands we were considering and we were looking at infant travel systems in both Chicco and Gracco. The Chicco stroller doesn't fold up as small but it seems like it has far more cushioning for when baby is grown and I'm not carrying him/her.
@rquinlin Yes, I've read through that one which is why I decided on the infant carrier instead of just a plain old infant car seat. If the baby is asleep in that carrier I want the baby to stay asleep as long as possible.
@jenny0314 Can you and husband explain to them you'd rather both be there? Especially since this is his first baby and it sounds like they're throwing this shower more for him than you? I think that's a reasonable request.
"Serious is only something you have to be until you can be silly again."Last night was the umpteenth night I dreamed of food. I couldn't decide what to eat and I was hungry. My parents got us a booth to watch a football game and the table was filled with pizza and candy and money to buy other food if we wanted so I ate a few slices of pizza and went to the food court and couldn't decide if I wanted KFC, Burger King, or a deli sandwich.
SERIOUSLY.
Yesterday I ate a yogurt, banana, a huge plate of Afghani food from our local buffet restaurant (a huge pile of rice, meatballs, lentils, veggies, okra, and chicken - I filled my plate to the point it looked like it was going to overflow and got side-eyed), had a chocolate milk at 4, went home and ate half a tub of cottage cheese, snacked on shredded cheese while I prepared a pizza, ate 3 slices of pizza, a rice crispy treat, and snacked on grapes before bed.
My stomach was growling when I went to sleep.
How much more do I possibly have to eat to be satisfied enough to NOT have a growling stomach at bedtime and subsequently dream of stuffing my face?
Geez, I heard the drink was bad but I didn't realize it was that terrible! I am so, so sorry you got sick like that in the waiting room... that must've been awful. I'm sure you're not the first though. My friends told me how sick it made them, too.
FWIW, I once barfed so hard that my vomit flew 15 feet across my kitchen and splatted on my dishwasher. Who knows how far it could've traveled if that wasn't in the way. I had some very bad wine the night before and the coffee I drank to cure my hangover did not want to stay in my stomach.
I second the tips to look at H&M and Loft for maternity (and comfy non-mat) clothes. Reasonable prices for cute stuff!
I have my 16week appointment this morning - thanks for the well wishes and good vibes! I always get just a little nervous before appointments.
@suzyq0525, ugh, that sucks
Day 2 of "software upgrade". I've spent more time on the phone with tech people than actually writing the reports I need to get done. Eff this. I think I need chipotle for lunch... Or retail therapy.
@suzyq0525 I'm sorry that happened, but I'm sure it has happened before and will happen again!
Anniversary dinner last night was amazing!! I've been getting full really fast lately, but not last night. Bread, mussels, salad, chicken, potatoes, spinach, cake. Mmmmmm.
The ladies on this board rock. Very sweet of you to get the Doppler. @Peledreamsofrain, so happy for you!

@Peledreamsofrain I am so happy for you! I have been debating getting one and your excitement may have just persuaded me.
@suzyq0525 you aren't the first and won't be the last I promise. Whoever said you will laugh about it someday is so right, don't let it keep you down.
My random is I'm pretty sure this trip to AK to see the friends we left behind when we moved back to OR last summer is going to result in H throwing a tantrum until we move back. I love it here too, but this will be the first grandkid and it would just crush our parents to be so far away. We moved back to be closer... ugh. I told him he has to find a job making embarrassingly good money to justify it.

Poor @suzyq0525! Hugs.
I just scheduled an elective 3D ultrasound for Friday Oct 3! The dr told us at our NT scan that it was a boy, but it just seemed so early that I'm looking forward to some confirmation. And I'll take any chance to see my little dude and make sure he's healthy! Plus I got a living social voucher for it cheap, and it's only good through November, so I figured I might as well still do it at 16 weeks.

@suzyq0525 I'm sorry but I'm sure you're not the first or the last.
I am so sleepy this morning. I stayed up way too late reading last night and I am feeling it this morning. I stopped for a coffee this morning because I just didn't see this morning going well without some caffeine.
