Yesterday my DH and I went out to a fancy dinner as our anniversary present, and we brought along a bottle of one of our favorite wines.  I had ONE glass, and by the time we got home, I was so drowsy that I went to bed by 8pm.  That is sad.  Sad like a really sad thing is sad.

In fact, sad like this puppy.

I've been having a watery discharge so naturally it must be prom cause I'm a fuckin nut that worries about everything right? I called my doc and he wants me to go to labor and delivery and get checked. This is my second baby and I remember what waters felt like so has anyone else been having a clear watery discharge at all so I can talk myself off the ledge? Ugh so that's what I'll be doing today sitting in L&D praying

With Jonah every time I sneezed it was followed up by puking. I sneezed this morning and, you guessed it! Immediately threw up. Fuck.

I have poison ivy. I'm pretty sure I got it at the gym where someone didn't wipe down either a machine or an exercise mat. Fuckwads.

@WinningColors ugh, poison ivy is the worst! I hope you're not too itchy!

Thanks @jenny0314. The itching isn't bad and it doesn't appear to be spreading, so that's good. It just pisses me off that some dumbass at the gym is spreading it around.

Just realized I forgot to bring more snacks into work :-( Yesterday I ran out of snacks and didn't have anything in the afternoon like I normally do. I felt so awful. I really need to not do that today, a lunch time snack run is a must!

Lovebeingamomny

FX it's nothing @kellbell1982‌.

Sorry @chaysefaith‌ I hope that gets better!

As for me, back to work today after 4 days off. Hoping it won't be too crazy. My BFF is big into meal planning and I was in awe of how she does all that and has 4 kids etc. So I took notes, got back on Pinterest and found tonsssss of recipes and made a game plan for the week!! It's only me and R here so I prob only have to cook 3-4 meals a week, where she cooks almost daily, because of 4 people eating in her house there aren't as many leftovers. Anyways I'm inspired!! Made an easy pasta last night with red AND white sauce......so delish. Tonight is a rice and sausage dish. Then we will have leftovers until the weekend I hope!! I know we have a meal planning thread and I know this should have gone there but that's an old thread and I didn't want to bump it. But come this Sun I'll be participating!

Oh and my BFF gave me ALLLLLLLLL of her maternity clothes since she swears she is done now. I am so excited and so grateful. I won't have to buy a thing now. I was looking for casual clothes because I'm set for my work outfits, and I got em!! Jeans, capris, shorts (live in FL), tons of casual shirts, khakis, jeans galore. And there's all sizes because she had twins so at the end she was a lot bigger. Lots to choose from and she is the best!! Update on the sadness-no more crying here!! Yay!! Ugh I was hoping that would get better and it did!

Good luck to any appts today!

Oh yeah, @MauiBliss‌ what is stitch fix?

ETA @chilibeansm0m‌ you had me rolling laughing about your dream. Omg balls under your bump....now that's a nightmare!!

randomnames

@chaysefaith‌ I'm sure it's just a coincidence (((hugs)))

@kellbell1982‌ I've had a lot of discharge lately, most of it very watery. Hopefully you're just fine

I would put on a pad and see if you fill it up, or lay down for a bit and get up to see if you get a "gush." Watery discharge for me is normal and comes and goes.

Others might have different/better advice.

I feel like I'm being silly, I think it's a problem many of us loss moms have. It started two weeks ago and it comes and goes but if I'm remembering right I sometimes had watery discharge before pregnancy and I can feel her move. I feel like most of my life there's been a force (maybe God?) that punishes me and takes away all I love and I know I sound crazy but I really really want this baby and I feel a connection with her that I didn't have with my angel babies or even my daughter Cameron who wasn't planned and tbh really interfered with my military plans at the time. Please don't think me cold hearted, I'm paying for maybe not being so excited about her at first by dealing with her disability which I also blame myself for no matter how much my brain knows that us moms don't cause autism. I'm thinking I really need to call
My therapist because these thoughts aren't like me and I feel embarrassed and like I'll be side eyed for this post and I adore my cammie girl and wouldn't go back and change if I could and hope I didn't come off that way

jnowosielski

@kellbell1982 no side-eyeing.  I really suggest talking to someone.  Everyone goes through emotional ups and downs and there is no shame in seeking out help.

@chaysefaith‌ all the hugs being sent your way

It's only 7 am here and the random is already 2 pages. I was hoping to make it on to page 1. Oh well I guess.
Last night I just rolled around like crazy, I had the worst sleep, I don't know if it's because I'm excited that in 2 hours I get to see my peanut, or because my daughter crawled in bed and kept kicking me?

I'm having a hard time this week.  My grandmom passed in January and it would be her birthday on Friday.  She basically raised me during the day (I have wonderful parents who were young and needed help while they worked).  I feel like I never really grieved, but I've been feeling increasingly sad because she knew we were trying to get pregnant and she was so excited but it didn't happen before she died.  On top of all that, DH's gmom passed 5 days later.

Her husband is a huge dick and really treated her terribly (I haven't seen him since the funeral) and all I wanted was to be able to tell her we were expecting.  I feel like this is holding me back from being 100% excited.  Don't get me wrong, I am so, so happy, I just feel like I can't be completely happy.  

Sorry for the sad ramble

@empirerecords24 this is why I think its crappy of people to pressure you to find out the sex.  I know its not malicious, but its unfair of them.

ETA - fixed tag

@Peledreamsofrain‌ omg that sad puppy is killing me! I hope that glass of wine was delish! Yum.

@kellbell1982‌ I agree you should talk to a therapist about that. It's too much for you to carry that burden. It is NOT your fault. While I, too, often wonder if God was taking a vacation when I lost my twins, I don't think he is actively punishing you for being less than excited about the pregnancy with your daughter. Please give yourself a break. As my shrink says: Be gentle with yourself.

It's official. I am 18w2d, and nausea is finally over!!!! Suck it, nausea! I win. I finally win! (((Happy dance!)))

It's so rainy and gloomy, all I want to do is sleep. Maybe I'll try to slip in a nap when DD takes hers.

My next ob appt is on Friday but I'm not looking forward to it so much. I don't want to know what my weight is! I still fit in my normal clothes and such, but I haven't exactly been limiting what I eat so I'm sure I've gained a couple pounds. Boo! But after this appointment the next should be an ultrasound which I'm excited for!

chaysefaith

Thanks guys!  The sneezing leading to puking thing isn't making me nervous...I'd just rather not puke every time I sneeze heading into cold and flu season!

jordanbohr

I really considered calling out of work today and curling up with my dogs and having a Gilmore Girls marathon. I just feel run down, which I convinced myself is not worth calling out for...so here I sit! I'm obviously being really productive!

kellbell1982

Just to prove I'm not a total downer I spent the last hour searching for this pic Id seen that reminded me of our girl @BattyMomma‌, hopefully this works it's my first gif and I'm a little shy.

Dammit I can't do it boo and it was a good pic too anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Are there spaces between the <img src = thingy

It's time for my mid morning snack. Do I get up and walk to the kitchen fridge and get the cheese sticks I brought for this purpose, or stay at my desk and eat the Oreos I have in my drawer?

kellbell1982

Yeah I did but nothing oh well guess I'm not cool

battymomma

kellbell1982 I am flattered that you've been thinking of me, however I admit I am sad that I can't see the image that inspired you...

Oreos.  ALL. DAY. LONG.

P.S. why do they even make regular oreos anymore?  I feel like once double stuff were invented there was no longer a need for the original.

I feel like I'm making my purchases too early, but there are so many good deals and rebates and stuff! So I have all the nursery furniture and the stroller. Everything else will be ordered later. Anybody else get buyer's guilt when doing stuff like this?

kcbizme

Good morning ladies!

After 3 pages, I can't remember who all I was going to tag. Fx for you ladies with appointments today!

Hugs to everyone, because let's face it, we all need one right about now.  >:D<

In honor of Troll/Twatwaffle Tuesday, I leave you with this:

You're all welcome.

jnowosielski I am sorry to hear about your loss. I know how you are feeling, I lost my Grandpa last year on my birthday and I have been thinking of him a lot with the welcoming of a new addition to the family. Sending hugs your way!

LOL @kellbell1982

@kellbell1982‌ FX it's nothing.

@chaysefaith‌ ((hugs)) Sorry you're going through that.

I haven't really been on in the last week or so. I've been stressed out and super emotional. SO lost his job last week and then a few days later I found out my dad's health is deteriorating. I know my dad is completely unhealthy since he's an alcoholic and has been since I was a child, but I just can't imagine the thought of him not being here anymore...or not getting to meet his grand baby.

I've been trying to focus on positive things lately. SO got a new job offer. My brother has been completely sober for over a week after after being addicted to pills for almost 2 years. I have my a/s Thursday & can't wait to see LO again.

Sorry for novel. Also congrats to all who have had great a/s! And hugs to everyone having a rough day.

@kellbell1982‌ - fx it's nothing, and yes don't feel bad but talking to a therapist sounds good
@chaysefaith‌ - that sux glad you're not worried
@WinningColors‌ - some people are immune to poison ivy. My friends DH brought it home from the field and gave it to her. I think maybe from her doing his laundry.
@jnowosielski - hugs

My random is, sometime in the hour between getting DD up and to dc and getting home, my router decided to die, or just refuse to work. And I work from home
After over an hour on the phone with comcast and troubleshooting, still no dice, but at least they got the service working. However I now have to sit next to the modem with a cable plugged in and this sucks. I need other devices connected to do what I need so I'm kinda hamstrung. So now I'm going to have to drop $200 on a new router and go into the office tmo (1 hour commute) until it gets here. Boo!
