ugh... I accidentally wrote "2015" at first. I blame the fact that last night's sleep looked like this:

Blue is sleeping, green is restless. Today/tonight will be so fun. Jk. Lol.

We're headed to DH's coworker's house. Two other coworkers are staying at our house. Hopefully DH does a good job at cleaning up and setting up the guest beds. I'm already guessing I'll have to come home and re-clean things to some degree. Bless his heart, he tries, but his mother did 100% of the cleaning and cooking his entire life. I'm surprised he even knows how to turn the vacuum on.

They finally fixed the radiator so it isn't making constant noise. And I still couldn't sleep. Also, I'm an accountant and it's the end of the year. Please kill me

What app is that? Is that for the fit bit? Was thinking of getting one. Curious how much green I'll have!

On another note. Was so excited that I had a ton of energy yesterday. Cleaned the WHOLE house. 4 loads of laundry done and put away. Dinner with my husband. Felt great and even talked about how great it is that I'm not nauseous anymore...stupid move. Been up since 2am gagging and feeling like shit.

@mehlaknee‌ it is and I love it! I usually am able to hit close to 10,000 steps a day and it really motivates me to take the stairs and walk during my lunch hour. Usually I'm a great sleeper (lol) and have less than 5 green lines which would be normal (rolling over, shifting positions, etc). This is the worst I've ever seen it. DH and I wake up at different times and I use the silent, vibrating alarm feature to wake up when he can sleep in.

For $100 I think it's definitely worth it. If you can, buy it at Costco or some where with a good return policy just in case you have an issue. (Costco will replace it, no questions asked, at pretty much any time.) Mine stopped vibrating and FitBit was helpful, but shipping the replacement took forever.

mehlaknee

@WafflesFriendsWork‌ yes! Sold! This is exactly what I needed to hear to get me to just go get one. Been toying with the idea for some time now but I definitely need this in my life!

My husband have a big DIY project going, and it's my turn now...painting a large room, plus caulking and wood putty application on the built in kind of makes me want to cry. I know it's going to be a really bad day.

My only patient decided not to show up so I'm sitting in the lounge trying to figure out how long I can hang out here without being noticed.

I've been sleeping like crap the last few nights I just can't get comfy. I don't know how I'll make it to midnight tonight.

There is absolutely no one at work, I should of asked to work at home today. And I'm wearing my Fleece jacket as a shirt today because everything else shows my bump and since I haven't had my 1st appt yet I don't feel comfortable with people getting suspicious.

valigrl21

I have the Fitbit zip which is just basically a pedometer. I am actually glad it doesn't have the sleep thing because it would look awful every night and I think it would just depress me more.

But yay it's New Year's Eve so I get a day off from work tomorrow!

Oh no! Why do people do that?! Did you ask her to take it down?

Was it an accident or a specific announcement? If it wasn't accidental/implied, I'd be LIVID.

...I'd actually be pissed either way, but forgive/forget quicker if it wasn't an announcement.

I've been off since Thursday and have to drive around today doing inventory counts. Grr. I'm hoping to be done by 2 and take a nap before tonight! Then I have off again until Monday.

Also, yesterday I got to meet my nephew for the first time! He was 9 weeks early and is about 10w now, he's sooo cute and tiny.

I had told DH as soon as we got pregnant that under no circumstances did I want to announce the pregnancy on Facebook. At any point. 

He told me last night that he has a BIG problem with that and he wants to share/AW all over the place. Trying to reconcile my feelings with this. Obviously if it's important to him, I can't change that. This also might be one of those situations where I want to pick my battles. 

But I've always judged those people who post a ton about their pregnancies and then their babies and then their toddlers... Hopefully I can at the very least limit his posting to a level I'm comfortable with?

I have my NT scan today. I have had a lot of bad news lately, and I have a feeling of dread going into this. I thought I would be excited and I'm just terrified instead.

monkeydilla

I slept like shit last night (what else is new?).. Still trying to get over this congestion crap. I'm going to lay in bed all day watching House Hunters International and eat bad food.

If he's excited I think there's probably a compromise to be found in there.

And I know seeing people post constantly about their pregnancy and kids can get a little annoying, but really, they're likely doing it for family and close friends. If it bothers you, block them.

@catahoulatte: It doesn't bother me that much honestly, when other people do it. It's just not for me. I am very wary about posting lots of private stuff on FB in general, and will be especially so about my children. I just figured I'd start with the pregnancy privacy early. 

I know you're right that there is a compromise to be found, but I slightly concerned that if I agree to this it will kind of spiral out of control in a way that I'm not comfortable with.

@nikki707 - I'm sorry you've had a lot of bad news lately, but definitely go into this with a positive attitude! I am a firm believer that positivity truly helps. Also, in the case that you do get upsetting news, we are all here for you.

@sassycassieb, feel better.  I feel your pain!

DD and I are meeting friends at 10:30a and I'm still in PJs, grazing on breakfast foods, sipping tea and bumping.  It's freezing out and I have no desire to leave the house!

I don't mind so much when people post about their pregnancy/babies, but it seems so intimate to me. I've been going back and forth about this since we found out. I've tried cleaning up my friends list, but i hadn't really got anywhere. I decided to create an entirely new page today and only add people I talk to, whether it's friends or family. I don't want random people I went to high school with or old coworkers lurking on my ultrasounds, birth, or baby pictures when they come.
I'm hoping DH is on board for at least trying to clean up his friends list as well. There is no need for close to 1000 "friends" knowing what is going on in our lives.

I have a bad headache right now. And in the middle of the night after the 5th time of getting up to pee I tripped on my way to the bathroom and fell and my shoulder banged into our vacuum cleaner. So now my shoulder hurts and I see a bruise forming it was loud and Dh was right there sleeping but he kept snoring away. I wanted to throat punch him lol. I also decided instead of fruit pizza I'm going to make chocolate chip cookie dip, I have had it before and it is delicious! Can't wait for tonight

I bought a super cute pair of maternity jeans and have been wearing them every day for the past 4 days.  I had no idea they were so comfortable!! The best part is that I got a great deal on them.  They were way on sale, then everything in the store was an extra 30% off. Score!

I was going to post a picture but didn't want someone getting nauseous. Those are two from my Pinterest I found, my cousin made it one year and I couldn't stop eating it. I got chocolate teddy Graham's and regular graham crackers as the dippers.

@nikki707‌ thinking of you!

My brother got admitted to the hospital early this morning after passing out during the night. The doctors think it is some kind of viral infection and will be keeping him over the next 24 hours to monitor him. I feel so bad for him. We had plans to go to lunch for my birthday today then he had tickets to our city's first night celebration with his wife and daughter. Hopefully they don't find anything and he can be discharged early tomorrow.

Finally had sexy time with DH last night and it was AMAZING!
We got this hair-brained idea to install hardwood in our entire upstairs because the flooring place is having a crazy close out that ends today; so we have to brave the "freezing" So Cal weather to go buy a crap load of wood flooring and I have no idea if it will fit in my small SUV but it HAS to leave the store tonight to get the discount.

Crazy dream last night! 

I woke up in the hospital and had had the baby, but wasn't conscious so didn't remember anything. They had me in a room with 5 other beds and they kept wheeling in patients from the emergency room (very sick) to stay with me, DH and the baby.  

I got up (how, I don't know) and yelled at the admitting lady at the desk outside the room that they needed to move us to the maternity center or transfer me to a different hospital and she said they couldn't do that.  The maternity center was completely full and they weren't allowed to move us anywhere else.  I woke up in tears and panicked, which didn't make it really easy to go back to sleep.  

Gonna be a long day...Sorry Baby B, but Momma had to have a cup of coffee this morning.  Get ready to be energized!  Lol.

I just called my kidney doc again since I haven't yet heard from him.  He's in this afternoon so he should be able to call me.  I read that studies are showing baby aspirin can help, so I'll ask him about it when he calls and then again with my OB on Friday.  I just want to be able to enjoy some part of this pregnancy... so far I've been sick and now all of this.  Fingers crossed he calls with good news!

Haven't had a chance to read these yet so I'll be back. Just want to say I'm in the waiting room for my NT scan. I really need to PEE. And I am super nervous. And they are running behind. Sad face.

Guess who had energy to clean the whole house today...me!!! Whoop, whoop!! Lol! This is big for me I know my DH is going to come home like umm did Grace come today? Grace is our cleaning lady that we can't afford!

Love to you @Justinslovo!  Take the time you need, and know that we're here thinking of you!
