Thanks baby for not casting your insane fatigue spell last Saturday, because I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and busy ALL day. Pre-ceremony I had to hound the wedding coordinator to get us ladies some snacks (not just for me but also for the bride). Then I apparently missed out on some post-reception photos because I was filling up at the appetizer buffet. No regrets- prego needs food. All my fellow pregos are documenting all their crying/feelings but I have the opposite symptom... enter the hashtag #pregodontcare. Also, I find it hard not to laugh at people who aren't educated about pregnancy (I get the "is it a girl or a boy?" question a lot, and I'm thinking, SERIOUSLY THAT'S NOT UNTIL 20 WEEKS, DUMMY!). Have to remind myself that I was the same way once, before I had kids.
I watched the bartender at my second job cut up some limes today for garnish and started to tear up. Realizing I was being completely irrational, I ran to the bathroom and stayed in there until I stopped acting like a nut job. People probably think I had to poop.
Sincerely, Maybe I should use some vacation time during "Lemon Week"
Today I braved loading the dishwasher. Part way through, I gagged because of a bowl with leftover cereal milk in it, but continued to lean over and load the open dishwasher. I gagged again and out of nowhere my gag/cough came out as puke - all over the open dishwasher door. I am so accustomed to throwing up I kept loading the dishwasher, poured the soup in and put it on max duty. I then decided that it was a good time to try and get some food down and completely forgot to brush my teeth until a couple of hours later. Gross.
I'm tired of throwing up so hard that I pee my pants... Every dang time. I was teased with a few good days, so not funny getting my hopes up. I'm 12 weeks already! I want dry pants! And for my 2 year old to stop impersonating me by pretending to throw up in his kid potty. Will it ever end?!?
Between my tiny baby bump and massive gas filled bump the fly on my work pants keeps getting pushed down. Thanks button for showing all my colleagues my knickers today.
Also me and DH can't have proper "snuggle" time as we feel like there's someone else there... I guess this is preparing us for actual parenthood ha
This is the first time that I have actually noticed my little bump...no, not the bloat. It's as hard as a rock and it just made me smile. Still very small, but wow it's amazing
I heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time last night. I had previously seen it on my scan at 7+4 but never heard it. I bought a Doppler, I'm now 11+4 and found the heartbeat very quickly. It's amazing to know I can listen any time I want. Well worth £24.99. I would recommend. 4 days till next scan so excited!
11 weeks today! I can not wait to say goodbye to the first trimester!
Had a very delicious buffalo chicken wrap yesterday. I sent the other half home with my mother (she had lunch with me) to put in her fridge. Since she's an awesome mom - she brought the other half to me today for breakfast. Boy, was I craving it. It was the only thing that sounded appealing for breakfast. Open up the container...one of my siblings that still lives at home had eaten HALF of the remaining wrap AND half of the fries. I cried - SOBBED over not being able to have this delicious wrap for breakfast.
Again, since she's an awesome mom she went to the place and ordered a replacement wrap at 10 am. She said don't cry over the small stuff. Save your tears for the big stuff. I told her I know it's ridiculous and irrational to cry over buffalo chicken. I was just so angry.
Appointment is at 3:30! SO is meeting me because we should hear the heartbeat for the first time. I'm pretty sure my mom will come, too.
I fear my baby may be a redneck. I crave fried chicken and cheap beer. Two things I normally hate. (Not giving into the beer craving.) I also found myself jamming to ZZ top while driving home from work.
I have really enjoyed the mandatory diet plan baby has put me on the last 6 weeks of eating and then immediately throwing up. It is especially great as I am on a construction site with a bunch of guys who have no clue and are starting worry I am bulimic.
Also, waking up every night at 2 am to pee because I just can't hold it anymore has been a real dream come true. It is not often I get to see what 2am looks like in my neighborhood on a weeknight.
Omg my baby is making me crave mcchicken sandwiches and larger! I don't like either! I got some alcohol free larger n that's eased the craving a bit $-) @vintagevice (maybe my baby's a little redneck too lol)
I have officially not worn makeup for three days straight now. Don't ask me why, can't explain just too tired.
DH been a dear and not said anything, til this morning when he tried *gently* to ask if I wanted to maybe get dressed today.... mwwahaha evil laugh, he wasn't expecting those glares!
Also, I think I'm losing it. Last week I could swear it was the pregnancy brain, but this week? Nope. I'm just hopeless in general. I remember zilch. I have conversations with my mother, and then tell her the same thing a day later.... NO HOPE KIDDO!
Last night, I ordered take out from three different places because my appetite kept changing. I wasn't home yet and had to warn my husband not to put headphones on after the first delivery arrived...or the second so he would hear the doorbell.
I finally settled on eating the chicken fingers and french fries. I don't remember the last time I ate any fried foods! I was super bummed that they sent Hunts ketchup instead of Heinz, but when I went through the 4 measly packets they sent I started bawling. My DH came over to comfort me and asked "Are you just crying so you have something to write on the thread you told me about?" So, I started laughing hysterically - while continuing to cry.
Husband called me on a lunch break to ask me a crude question about the by product of his breakfast of raisin bran. He then proceeded to laugh hysterically at my vomit session. At least that's what my 11 year old told me when I threw my phone at her as I booked it to the bathroom. I don't need to hear about raisin filled poop. Thanks a lot babe.
Also, can I please stop craving French fries and icees?! Seriously. I don't need my ass to be bigger than my belly. Thanks.
Oh and dear mood swings,
Can I please have a different mood other than basket case or bitch of the year? Try throwing in some happy or horny once in a while. You know. So husband can be happy too and so I stop scaring the kids. Thanks.
Sincerely, Salty and so over this first trimester crap.
The other night I had a dream that I got so angry I bit my older sister. This child is turning me either into a toddler or a rabid raccoon. I've been looking up single serving cookie, fudge, muffin, cake, etc. recipes so that I can eat as much sugar as I want without leaving the evidence of extra sweets lying around for my DH to find. The only savory foods I want to eat are hamburgers from Five Guys and pizza. Two days ago I asked my husband if he would take a turn carrying the baby for a few days.
Who is this man I married?! I mustered up enough energy to make a healthy dinner last night. DH sat down and proceeded to STAB his food as if he were angry at it. I asked if he was okay. He looked at me dumbfounded and said everything tasted amazing and he was starving. STAB,STAB,STAB. I had thenurgentonstab his hand with my fork!!
I got irrationally upset about it. The way he was eating was making me nauseous. The sensible part of me tried to think of a kind way to ask him to slow down, eat a little less loud... Instead I said (in a loud voice), "You're making me sick!" And I left the table. Poor man.
10 wks 3 days Dear Diary (and yes I totally hear Britney), The extra fatigue as soon as I hit 10 weeks is not cool. Nor is the sudden low back pain. Being a physical therapist, you'd think I'd have this under control, but alas, I can't even sit up without wincing. So running? Forget it. And I suddenly can't stand the smell of popcorn. I guess the movies are out for a while. Although the weird dreams are keeping me more than entertained. Just don't let me slip and tell my PA that she was in one! Sincerely, When will I poop normally again?
Dear Diary, It would be nice if I could stop throwing up now....I'm almost 12 wks!! I'm on vacation with my entire family and they keep having to listen to me puke....ugh
I also have given up on makeup and give zero crap lately
Also, I have a 5 month level baby blump but no real bump yet.
When does the cute part of pregnancy start?
Sincerely, How am I so bloated when I puke all the time?
Sleeping all day and night has become routine, but the one night I actually want to fall asleep I can't! SO is sleeping and won't get up to make me popcorn so I am basically dying of hunger. It's just not a good night for baby and me.
SO wants me to throw away the broken glass that's sitting on our nightstand. But I don't want to because I like its new shape and have become quite attached to it. He thinks I'm nuts, but victory was mine.
Dear diary!, Well baby, I want to thank you for making me practice all that gag reflex while cooking hubbs breakfast and lunch this morning. Only to take full effect of not having nothing but quality time hugging the toilet. My side aches do appreciate the pains from throwing up so hard....but it is Friday! And you managed to give an appetite for coco pebbles! All that morning sickness just to ask for cereal in return??? X_X
I forgot to mention that I've just been having them "Regina George" days (from mean girls) where sweat pants are seriously all that fits me!!! And in hot hot Houston!!

(Thanks for making me question how 'diary' is spelt. Literally had to sit here for 5 minutes figuring it out)
These bizarrely sexual dreams can stop now! Or at least let me dream about the opposite sex, or even better how about my own husband?? No more dreams about girls sending me pics of their v-jayjays saying they need to trim the forest and me replying good luck! Like what??
Sincerely, My dream life is spicier than the spiciest peppers on this planet.
I'm so tired. I have a sliver of energy and it's gone by the time I shower in the morning. My bed is my secret lover, I never want to leave it. Please don't make me. Memory is a thing of the past. I'm lucky if I can remember my own name. I'm a cashier, people will pay me and I'll just stare at the money like what am I supposed to do with this..... Then I remember. It's getting pitiful My last entry I told you I was plotting my boyfriends demise, I'm still planning- I'll let you know my plan. House hunting is stressful! Sweet nibblets (yes that's a Hanna Montana Disney channel reference I don't care I I'm 24) I am trying not to stress out over silliness but jeebus! We made an offer yesterday- can I get a prayer that we get this amazing house, my headaches can't take the stress any longer- Also, diary, I can't sleep. Well I can, it's the having to get up 2...3...4 times a night that makes it harder to rest. Can we do something about this... Otherwise I'll start planning the demise of my bladder.
Also, where did my dreams go?! I have non... Wait I probably just don't remember them anymore... Carry on diary.
I had a four hour car trip yesterday I drove my SO. I ate a whole container of large mashed potatoes from KFC and could have used 10 hot sauce packets to eat it. This baby loves spicy I have decided. I can't stop eating.
I am so exhausted at bed time, but then feel the need to get up and pee around 1:30 every morning. Then I can't get back to sleep for another hour or so. This leaves me still exhausted in the morning.
This morning I was so tired, I put on an hour long Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for DD to watch while I took a quick nap on the couch. She laid right next to me, so I knew she was ok.
Now I need to get lunch in the oven, but I do not want to. It's a good thing I have to feed my toddler, because if it were just me, I would survive on cereal and cheese and crackers.
Sincerely,
Are we done with the 1st trimester yet?

I need to sleep. Like for the next 6 months. I can't seem to part with my bed, and all night I surrepticiously watch the clock out of the corner of my eye to see if it's 8 or even near 8 so I can migrate on to my bed for more time with my beautiful bed. Getting up in the morning is seriously the hardest thing I have to do every day. Except that I seem to have no problem getting up to pee at least three times every night. Oh and also, the dreams. Dreams of my husband leaving me, dreams of sex, dreams of random people and sex, dreams of all of my exes. WTH?
Also, the party invites are getting a little out of control. No I dont want to go to your graduation party, or yours, or your kid's bday because I barely know you. I dont want to leave my house, period. Which reminds me, if DH asks me to go out and do something fun one more time, I may kill him. Just kidding, I love the man, if it wasnt for him, my house would be a disaster, our pool would be green, and the pets would be dead right now because Lord knows I can't get my ass off the couch to do much of anything. But seriously, why doesnt he get it??!!!
On another note, thanks for getting rid of my nausea and improving the pain in my breasts, but with that said, screw you for the extra gas and seemingly more exhaustion.
Oh, and also, does anyone know where my sex drive went? Oh that's right, it seems to show up only in my dreams!
11 w 4 days Dear Diary , Just when I thought my nausea was over and well controlled by a daily dose of McDonald's cheeseburgers dipped in sweet n sour sauce , yummmm ..... I puked all over my lap during work while pulling up to a patients house. To make things worse this action occurred in front of the post office of course. I finished just in time to see a guy doubling back looking at my car. Sigh, felt great after ... Hunted down a Walmart for some new pants !
Oh yeah and I cry at least 4 times a day but it only lasts like 20 seconds , just a lunatic
This feels appropriate because I'm basically just reliving my teenage years all over again- I hate everyone and sleep all day.
And thank you, all day nausea, for not only making most foods seem unappealing (other than soda and KFC- seriously, WTF is wrong with you??), but non-food objects as well. I can no longer look directly at my living room rug or my new yellow Target shorts without vomiting. This is getting ridiculous. What did they ever do to you?
My fetal dopplar came in the mail today and I got to hear baby's heartbeat for the first time! Such a magical sound, I cried. Then laughed. Now I'm downing a bag of skittles while I wait for hubs to get home so he can hear it too. I kind of just want to strap this thing to my belly so I can walk around all day listening to this wonderful sound!
Why oh why am I feeling like the most UN-sociable person ever? I mean I don't want to see anyone and I don't want them to see me. I don't want to try to make conversation and smile. I just want to sit here on my couch with my cat with no makeup on and watch movies or be on the internet.
That brings up another point, I am having a temporary make up strike. I used to wear it almost every single day and now I have refused to put any on for at least the last 4 days...not that I don't want to look good I just flat don't want to put any on so I'm not.
Re: Dear Diary...
My cat had its own poo stuck to it today which means I had to clean everything.
Decided not feeding it was the best option until after pregnancy to avoid attached poo in the future.
Sincerely,
Dealing with the problem at its source
Dear diary,
