@JustinsLovo‌ Congratulations on hearing your baby's heartbeat today! I'm glad that you were able to open up to your doctor about what you're going through, and that she was so supportive. Take whatever time you need, but know that we are all sending you creepy internet hugs, and we will be here whenever you're ready to come back.

@nikki707 T&P for you! 

@babymamabeth Does he sleep on his back? Whenever DH sleeps on his back the snoring is awful! Usually I nudge him and he will turn over on his side, seems to work. Hope you find something that helps soon!

@JustinsLovo Will be thinking of you, sending lots of love! 

I don't really have a random today, so here is my New Year's resolution as illustrated by cats.

Hugs @Justinslovo and I've been eyeing that fox!! I love it

Thank you to everyone for the T&P! The scan went well and I am so relieved. Still waiting on blood work though. Thanks for all your support! You guys are the best.

*hugs* @Justinslovo I know exactly how you feel. When I went to the ER, my H almost burst into tears when he saw the baby on the screen and I couldn't muster up being happy. I honestly started crying. I'm sure everyone thought it was happy tears and while I should be happy that just wasn't why I was crying.

I hope that a break helps you feel a little better! Just know that we are here if you ever need us. Hopefully we can get happy about our babies soon!

You guise!  I have my appetite today!!  And I don't think I packed enough snacks! LOL.  I'm so glad the office is ordering in lunch today.  

Also, it's soooo cold outside.  This morning, with windchill, it was -8.  Ugh.  And I have 0 motivation again.  

@JustinsLovo I hope your bump break helps you feel better.  We're all here for you.

And when my DH starts snoring, I either kick him and pretend to be sleeping (he never believes me.  I'm a bad pretend sleeper) or I just nudge him until he stops.  Sometimes, the nudging just makes him snore angrily AT me.  LOL

We are taking a family trip to see snow today! We're carpooling with the inlaws and I get car sick, combined with the all day M/S I'm pretty sure the cat will be out of the bag with everyone else. So not looking forward to the reaction if it comes to that today.
ETA: @JustinsLovo‌, take care of yourself, you will be missed.

Happy New Year, ladies!

SamiReeves

I have to work tonight. I'm a bartender. While ,I'll be making awesome monies, I have no patience for super intoxicated people. Yay me. Normally, I'm day shift and It's just the old retirees so I never have any issues. Tonight's just gonna suck..

tigerlynx31413

Hugs @JustinsLovo‌! I hope the time away gets you refocused! You'll be missed.

kmiller102391

@JustinsLovo‌, take the time you need, prayers to you that it will get better soon. I'm happy for you that you have an awesome doctor that you can talk about all this with. I know from experience that these times cam be hard, we are always here for you!

As for my random, I am feeling fine but I swear I am going to eat us out of house and home. I am hungry all the time.

My DH snores terribly as well, especially if he is laying on his back. I normally just nudge him until he moves. If that doesn't work I just start smacking him lol

LadyAnnibal

Guise, I'm way too happy about the fact that my coupon binder is starting to fill up again! I'm about to go to all my favorite grocery websites to get their coupon policies to stick in there too!  Of course I have to hand write everything, 'cause I don't have a printer but whatever, I'm happy.

Definitely going to have to make a blog post soon haha

amc1087

Today someone in DH's family asked me how long I would wait before having my second child. I haven't even popped out the first yet! I'm not even through the first trimester! WTF?!

jennaleigh23

My boss got chinese food for everyone for lunch. SO hungry. SO nauseous.. Which will win... 

ahsile10

I'm sort of jealous of your sleep @wafflesfriendswork

LOL

Been so busy at work until now I am completely behind on the randoms. Starting from page 1 now.

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?

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. 

@amc1087 Not only are we almost SN twins, but the bolded is exactly how I feel about Facebook! I hardly ever post anything on Facebook, and when I actually do post something, I am very guarded about what I post. If I do choose to announce my pregnancy on Facebook, it will probably be around 20+ weeks, but I might not even do it then. DH doesn't even have a Facebook account anymore, so he doesn't care either way if I announce it on there.

@amc2511 - It seems initials (I assume) are not all we have in common! I think DH and I have come to the following compromise... He will be allowed to post something about the pregnancy on Valentine's day when I will be 18 weeks and we will already know the sex, meaning there will not be a need to post anything else until the baby actually evacuates my uterus. Once the kid is born, I'm sure we will have more arguments about what to post and when but I think my big rule will be that I would like to be the only one to post pictures of my child to Facebook because then, if necessary, I can remove them. Does that all make sense?

ahsile10

@niki707 Hope it went well!

@Justinslovo Take any time you need, but remember we are here and we will miss you. I'm also happy you got to hear the hb. 

@babymamabeth You have my complete sympathy for the snoring. At one point when DD was little, every time she wasn't crying DH was snoring. He even woke her up. Ugh.

@mischiefmama I blocked anyone from being able to post on my wall, tag me, or practically anything for the next few months right before we told family. I also added everyone who wasn't family or a close friend that already knows to a list where they are the only ones that can see posts on my wall. A little excessive, but I cannot have coworkers finding out until I'm ready. We have some issues here that might be affected by the news.

Since everyone is talking about fitbits, this is my sleep from last night. Yuck. I got up to pee at least 3 times and my dog stole my spot. WTF?

KatD2011

I am off today but at 6am my effed up dream woke me up. It was so ridiculous but somehow so real. I was at a hospital getting blood work and then I blacked out and woke up with a baby. I had no recollection of labour, felt awesome, but the baby looked to be at least 6 months old. I kept saying that there must be another one in my belly because it was only January and I'm not due for 6 months and this one is 6 months old!! Plus it couldn't be mine because I felt fine and couldn't remember any of it. I ended up bringing the little girl home and then woke up.

So weird

amc1087

@ahsile10 - I love your January siggy! Whenever we take the dog out in the snow, he buries his face in the "funny white stuff," proceeds to eat it, and then looks like a coke fiend for the rest of the walk.

haha! I love it. My dog used to do that but it was less noticeable because she is white. Also now that she can't see, she doesn't get all excited about snow like she used to. She acts all scared of it.

@amc1087 Yes, we do share initials. That does sound like a good compromise to wait 'til Valentine's Day for posting an announcement. As for after the baby is born, you being the only one allowed to post pictures sounds just a tiny bit extreme to me. Maybe you could work out another compromise where both of you are allowed to post pics, but agree to check with each other before doing so?

How's this for random? It snowed here in San Diego last night. Mostly in the mountains, but 2-3 inches in some places..

@amc2511 - I can see how what I wrote sounded more extreme than I intended. I just meant that I would rather that DH and I be the only people to post pictures of the LO to Facebook and asking our friends and family not to do so.

@amc1087 That makes way more sense! I thought you were saying you weren't going to allow YH to post pictures. I think it makes sense to limit picture-posting privileges to just you and YH.

I am trying to eat my lunch (tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich...my favorite on snowy days), but I can't figure out if my stomach hurts because I need to stop eating or because I need to eat more. Blehh.

The people who have fitbits, which kind do you have? I was looking into getting one

OMG! I hate getting started late in the day. I feel like I have missed so much! Stupid job...

oh goodNESS that cookie dip sounds divine. adding that to my NYE cooking list! does anyone here have a SO that snores like a damn freight train?? I don't know what to do, but I'm going crazy. DH didn't used to be like this, but about 6 months ago he got a cold and then from there on out his snoring has been OUT OF CONTROL. I use earplugs now, but lately it's been so loud even those don't work. I have no idea what I'll do when the baby is here and I can't use the earplugs anymore! we've tried breath right strips to no avail... anyone have any advice or sage wisdom?? this pregnant lady may very soon turn into a CRAZY pregnant lady. mama needs sleep.

This is evil but it worked for us.  DH snores if he sleeps on his back, but he's fine on his side or stomach.  So I sewed a golf ball into the pocket of an oversized t-shirt and have him wear the shirt backwards when he sleeps.  If he rolls over, the golf ball is uncomfortable on his shoulderblade, and he naturally rolls back onto his side.  It was this or separate bedrooms - my ears kept getting infected from those awful foam earplugs.

ahsile10

On another note... My jeans are totally not comfortable today. They are digging in and killing me. I need to find some decent maternity jeans, but none of these stores have any selection. I HATE buying jeans online because I am so picky about them. I think we might be making a trip the the motherhood outlet soon.

I have a fitbit flex but I'm considering getting the Charge HR when it comes out. I have always wanted one with a heart rate monitor.

cgiles120812 - I have a FitBit One, which is a bit cheaper, but has a lot of the capability of the Flex. I honestly just clip it onto my bra and then I never forget to wear it! Plus then I don't have to worry about the wrist band clashing with my outfit.

@ashtog, @amc2511 - When I was deciding whether or not I was going to change my last name post-marriage, one of the deciding factors was how much I liked the monogram. AMCs are way cool.

You guise! I just happened upon a KFC/Taco Bell Combo Restaurant... And now I'm enjoying a Crunchwrap Supreme no meat, sub beans, a mashed potatoes and a biscuit. #LifeIsGood

@amc1087 and @ashtog‌ I've changed my name 3 times, thanks to my first marriage, divorce, and my marriage to DH, and have had a different combo of initials each time. AMC is by far my favorite!

Where my grandma used to live there was a taco bell/pizza hut combo.  My mom and I used to psych ourselves up to go visit her by promising ourselves pizza and chalupas as a reward.  We might be horrible people but she was soooooo cranky.

@DarcyHermione‌ I really hope you start feeling better soon!!

I'm super annoyed at my insurance/OB office. Basically because I work for a hospital I'm required to get any labs done at one of their facilities (can't get them at the OB). The hospital lab effed up my genetic screening test and I didn't find out until I called for results today.

I had to rush to get to the office since they close early today
and now I have to wait another week+ for my results.
