I did a bad thing today... I ran by cheesecake factory and picked up a couple slices. but it was after I left yoga, which was the first time I've exercised in like a month, so that means I start with a clean slate, right? 

Dammit I want cheesecake so fucking bad now.

oh my oh my...
I love this. Send envelopes of glitter (or the herpes of the craft world) to people you hate.
The FAQ is hilarious.

Mobile sucks btw.

I must now have cheesecake and froyo.

I missed yoga last night due to my first pregnancy nosebleed but IDGAF I'm eating ALL the things because I can!

@RWPhoenix - sending good thoughts

@Caleo - I love the names!  So pretty!

I have officially gotten cranky when getting asked about names.  As of yesterday, I have decided to pull random names out of my ass when people ask.  I told my mother that baby boy's name will be Kleophus Alvairedes for the Polish and Greek sides of the family.  I have begun telling my FIL's family that we're doing John Paul Francis after our favorite popes.  When people asked at our Ohio State/Oregon viewing party last night, I said Ezekial Braxton Jones after some of my favorite OSU players.  Let's see what other creative responses I come up with on the fly.

Love this. My mother asked if we were thinking about names or looking at baby books. I was like "Nope, we're just going to call it whatchamacallit." That was her super manipulative way of asking what names I'm thinking about so she can go tell all her family and work friends. Gah....

I'm having baby shower drama and I need advice.

My MIL called over the weekend and wants to throw us a baby shower.  I thought this would be a great idea.  She's generally not involved in our lives and I could tell that my DH was really excited by the prospect of it.  It would be extended family, most of whom I have never met, but being as this is our first, I thought we could really use as much as possible for the baby (greedy, I know).

I mentioned the baby shower to my sister in passing and she got upset because she was going to throw us a baby shower.  She's really upset because my MIL is never involved in any family stuff and every time she's been invited to meet with my family, she blows it off at the last second.  She did this for our engagement party and Thanksgiving this year.  My sister is also upset because that baby shower would be held in Michigan and my whole family lives in Florida.  We live in Illinois, so any baby shower by our families would require traveling of some sort.

I can tell my sister is really upset but I just don't understand why we can't have two baby showers.  I think it has more to do with the fact that my MIL wouldn't invite my family and my sister would invite my DH's family.  I just don't get it.  Any advice? 

We will have to have two baby showers because of family drama (dad with new girlfriend, recently divorced parents, etc). I know plenty of people who have 2+, but it may be a good idea to ask your sister what is bothering her in particular about the situation. Then you can put out fires as needed.

For such little humans babies create such big drama don't they? Good thing they're worth it

Had an appt yesterday afternoon (I'm 13 weeks). Our dr asked if it was fine with me for her nurse in training to try to find the heartbeat. I said that was fine. It took him a good five minutes to find it. Meanwhile, I'm laying there slightly freaking out because I am hearing NOTHING. Then all of a sudden my ob says, "Oh, there it is. 150s? Good." And it was done. I never heard the heartbeat. Never. I went to go leave my sample and cried in the bathroom. For four weeks a mom looks forward to hearing the heartbeat to make sure the baby is fine each time and it was totally robbed from me. I was so mad. My husband was there (Thank you, God) and said he heard it right at the end. I hope he really did. It was nothing like hearing my son's heartbeat the first time.

Other people have probably commented (sorry I am still getting the hang of this message board thing, it took me 3 tries to try to respond to you lol), but here's my 2 cents. 

First, I'm so sorry you had that experience!  I don't know if your office is like this, but in mine, they check for the heartbeat with every appointment, using the Doppler thing.  It's not a picture ultrasound, but you can definitely hear the heartbeat.  Even if yours doesn't check every time, I would think they would oblige if you asked them too.  Then, even when they find it and the BPM registers on the little device, make sure you can hear it and tell them you would like the experience of hearing it.  All of the folks in the office that I've met have been super nice and accommodating. 

Good luck!

Ugh my MIL is driving me nuts. She keeps trying to pawn useless crap off on us. I'm tired of it all and definitely snapped a little today when she offered us another crappy coffee table. I apologized and explained we didn't need a coffee table right now.

DH and I were talking names last night and we have two girl names we like.

tiamiaxx

omg I just signed in on computer for the first time and am soooo sad that I use mobile now!! I wish I never knew what I was missing out on.

Now DH will never get his computer back.

Here's a 3D of baby from scan yesterday

Such a cheeky kid. Sonographer jabbed and pushed then made me do star jumps and rock until it got in the right position but it still refused to show its face in 3d

oh well, arms over face is cute too I swear even the umbilical all bunched up is cute

I slammed my thumb in the register at work. It hurts and I wanted to cry. (

I promised my hubs I'd make stir fry steak for dinner. But all I want is PB&J and chocolate milk - and this bed!

I'm in the between stage where my belly is starting to grow but not "obviously" pregnant yet. Nothing fits me right so I decided to wear a dress with leggings to work today because it's loose and flowy. I thought it would better conceal my little bump. Well that plan backfired and had multiple people come up and touch my belly as I guess the dress gave me an obvious little bump. LOL. Oh well...can't wait till my belly pops and I can just be out of this bloaty look!

This is not directed toward anyone specific, this is in general.  It annoys me when people call the stomach bug/norovirus the "flu".  No, the flu is influenza which has nothing to do with your GI distress.  I don't know why it bothers me that much, but, it does.  Dumb pregnancy hormones, lol.

-----------------
Soooo much this. I don't even know why. But, I was just bitching to DH about this this morning!
It's probably because I just got over the actual flu, and I feel people with headcolds are belittling the times I died while sick. Haha

Ben and Jerry's just came out with new Cookie Core ice cream and now I really want the peanut butter one.

I'm pretty sure it had to do with me being a complete germaphobe and being dealthy afraid of the stomach bug.  Don't tell me it was the flu when you were puking and pooping everywhere.  I need to know so I can stay away from you, anything you touch, any bathroom you use.  All set!  lol

My rant...
I feel like I have been failing all day. Super emotional, obsessing over stupid little prego brain stuff from work, and then freaking out weather the baby is ok and if I was wrong for not going for the optional screenings.

I got cake two days in a row after work.

Im starting to think he is trying to fatten me up

erysapplepie

CouEddy! This is me. Every single day!!!! Im driving myself insane!

Marinewife81

I had 2 girls at work today comment on the size of my belly ("Oh, at least your belly is starting to peek out!!"). Yeah.......it's just fat. And then they proceed to argue with me about it. And my boss continues to comment about how I don't need to worry about exercising and eating right because I'm pregnant. Um, no, that means I need to worry more about exercising and eating right so I don't end up gaining 60lbs again like I did the first time I got pregnant!!!!

LadyAnnibal

I revealed to my mom tonight! She already knew so she wasn't excited but she wasn't angry either. Either way, I'm glad I don't have to worry about it.

I'm an idiot. Got stuck with a needle at work. Thankfully no HIV but I'm still waiting on hearing about hepatitis.

Worst of all, it really hurt! I got myself good!

Ugh!  I would be so paranoid if I worked in the medical field, lol.  It's bad enough I'm paranoid as a teacher working with little germ factories every day!  Hope the hep test comes back negative!
