@flowerpower5838, good luck today too!!! And I totally agree with you about Tuesday but today is ok as I am just looking forward to the appointment!!!
@mrspepper05, thanks for the good wishes and the correct name spelling haha, I really should have considered it more when I chose it! Hope your u/s goes well later this week!
Yay for appointments! I have one today too, and it's right after work, which means one thing: work is going to go by SO slowly! X_X
Also, my bed has officially turned into a pillow graveyard...there are pillows everywhere and I still can't sleep well. I'm only 16 weeks...it shouldn't be this hard already! Waaaahh!
Just finished my first exam for school this semester! One down, 5 to go this semester. I also got Starbucks after for a bit of a pick me up (I normally avoid them because of the price but I deserve it, right?). Now sitting on my couch bumping, trying to desiderate what to snack on
Ha- I am a natural born complainer. Yesterday I maybe answered the phone 5 times in 8 hours. Today? Every phone call was 2 calls at a time coming in and I can only answer 1. Then the second number calls right back so as soon as I answer it ANOTHER call comes in behind it! I get too bored when I don't have enough to do yet I get super stressed when the phone keeps ringing off the hook like this!!
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
Putting my question here so I don't add another constipation thread to the board . . .
I'm already taking a gummy vitamin with no iron and a dose of Miralax every morning in my coffee. But I'm still soooo painfully constipated. I can hardly stand to eat, because the food just turns to rocks in my stomach. Do you think I can add a stool softener to my regimen or is that just asking for trouble?
I'm taking two a day right now...I will admit to it working a bit too well at times, but one just wasn't doing it. All the glamour.
Wow- I've been swamped the last hour of work! Now if people give me the same workload, just spread it out over the course of the day, I would be much better off than sitting bored from 11:30-3 then have everyone cram stuff on to me with only 1 hour left of work to do it in!
I'm shutting down the computer and I'm going HOME!!!

Just got back from doctor and heard the beautiful, amazing, incredible heartbeat!! The midwife found it immediately, as soon as she put the doppler on my belly. So wonderful to hear since it took a minute or two the last time to find! She also showed me where to feel my uterus. I'm going to the OG tonight to celebrate (like I really need an excuse ) and I'm gonna order myself a piece of pumpkin cheesecake. YUM!!!
Hope everyone else who had appointments today is feeling good with healthy babes in their bellies xx

I am so happy for you that I am crying! Well, tearing up at least lol. Hormones are in full swing already - I have a feeling I'm in for trouble.

You're so sweet :x I feel the same, like a real swelling in my heart and I could cry....it has never felt so real. I feel truly blessed.
Does anyone remember how long you have to use the registry completion coupon from target once you receive it? I am trying to create a registry to get the coupon for the things we are going buy but don't want to use my actual due date because I want to receive the coupon before Janurary but not too soon since I don't plan on buying everything right away.
Wow.....I am soooo hungry today. I only have a few more minutes of work to get through and I get to meet DH and the in laws at red lobster.......cheddar bay biscuits are calling my name!!!

Drool. I'm so friggin hungry right now, haven't felt like this for a while. It's good to let the appetite build up though before a meal out. Enjoy!!
@Parker16772 I don't know but let me know when you find out, I'd like to know too
@ecwk-Looks like you get it 8 weeks before your due date and it is good for 95 days after it is issued. I forgot it was a one time use though. That kind of stinks guess I will be saving to buy everything at one time. I thought I remembering being able to use it for the full 95 days.

Oh man...cue the tears. So happy your appointment went well, @ecwk!!!
I've been an emotional wreck today. I was super nervous about my appointment today too, and everything went well!! Heard that beautiful heartbeat.
Now I'm getting in the car, and driving home to eat my celebratory, leftover, Cheesecake Factory layered fudge cake. My husband and I went to dinner there last night and I purposefully got dessert to go for today.
Feel like I ran a marathon (not like I'd know, I hate running) after my school exam, came home and changed clothes to prepare for the heat, changed little one, and took him to get my meds (told doc. I needed a refill and that I was out 2 days ago, but she didn't get it ordered till today, needless to say I was miserable yesterday) then grocery shopping. Got little man upstairs with a snack while I hauled up the groceries. Put them away and made sure little man had what he needed, then got started cleaning. Spent the last 5 hours cleaning everything with little man: mopping, vaccuming, bleaching toys and coffee pot, scrubbing bath tubs and changing sheets.... only thing left to do in the house is to haul the trash bag out and take dirty laundry to the laundry matt. Both will have to wait till Dh gets home cause little man won't stay by me in the parking lot if I have my hands full. Now cookies are in the oven for snack time (they got eggs, milk, and grains right? Healthy) time to relax. Oh and gave ds a bath and fed him dinner
Congrats on the appointments ladies! It is always such a relief!
@SparkE82 I am beyond jealous right now. I have been craving lobster all pregnancy but haven't been willing to fork over the dough and indulge. Must resist temptation...

@ecwk yay for a good appointment! And yay for pumpkin cheesecake!
Tonight I am in bed at 7:45. DH teaches pre-k and I think he may have brought home the first of many fall bugs... Going to pass out with some Benadryl and hopefully not miss my 4 a.m. alarm in the morning!
On my list tomorrow, a heating pad, dropping off my prescription for my vitamins for weight gain, mushrooms (because sautéed mushrooms have been calling me) and then to stand in line at Walmart to cash a paycheck... And so no naps for me. But I will prevail!

I'm so tired...I fell asleep at 7:30. I woke up a little after 9 to go to the bathroom so I figured I would let my dog out too. I don't think he ever made it- poor boy had a visit from the epi Monster (he has epilepsy) and had a small seizure . He is on medication to control them but every once in awhile they sneak through. Tonight's was very small but just as exhausting for him- he won't come to bed and he is my bedtime buddy until daddy gets home. I often carry him around after he has one (he is wiped out afterwards) so I carried him to bed but he immediately left me and went to his kennel. Now I can't fall back asleep and I wish he would join me but I can't force him, especially after an episode like we just had. It makes me sad
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
After a super busy Tuesday (chiro appt, pediatrician, volunteer at breastfeeding support, OB appt, get one kid from school, take one kid to dance, stop at store for toilet paper (we were out!) and dinner), happy to report my appt was great! I was having some concerns, and I feel reassured now. Plus, my pal the u/s tech snuck me in for a quick sonogram. She said she thinks she knows what it is! (She has been with us for all 5 pregnancies and knows we don't find out, but still exciting to hear she could see and things are looking good so far.) Yay happy 15wks to me! And to you, @ecwk! Yay for good appts and OG!

He has had them since he was about 1 year old (he is now 5). This one was very small for sure, borderline focal. In the middle of the night he came and snuggled with me so I feel better myself I can't help but feel bad for the little guy, because I'm mama and there is nothing I can do for him other than be there for when he comes to.

I need a nap after reading that
Seriously. I don't think I accomplish that much in a week.
Married 7.29.05 :: DD1 5.11.10 :: DD2 1.23.13 :: Baby Boy due 3.13.16!
I've been having trouble sleeping at night, so I decided to cut out my afternoon nap for the first time yesterday.
I ended up in bed by 9:40 because I was so exhausted and fell asleep almost immediately. I only got up once to pee, and slept until 6 when DD woke up. But I am still unbearably tired. Not fair. Definitely not skipping the nap today.

I have a bit of a rant. My job is training dogs and I actually am a certified service dog trainer and our prgram, which is different from most, actually trains the owners how to go through our 5 phase program and we test them out of each phase and help them where needed. Well I am laying in bed still not wanting to go down and work with this dog since the owner had the dog doing really well and then went backwards for the last month because of not listening to my explicit instructions and now he just wants me to take his dog and get her back on track. I'm telling him that just becaus I can do that and she will listen to me doesn't mean she will come back and listen to him. We make them sign an expectations agreement for this very reason ( we train dogs, we don't program robots) she's never going to be perfect. You want a dog that doesn't have a mind of its own you shouldn't have gotten a Shepard. They are amazing dogs if you work with them and form a good relationship but he gets frustrated at every little thing ( like the dog not eating breakfast. She wasn't hungry give her a break. She's six months old! ) Any way I'm just really worried I'm just wasting my time and she will go back to him and regress again. Ugh. What is it with people lately. Some 70 year old man complained to me the other day that he could hear my entire phone conversation at Panera. My voice projects well becaus my DH is hard of hearing. I wasn't shouting. It's a public place. You want quiet? Go to a library or go home.
I am on a 7 day off break from work and it's lovely. I am however co- hosting a Bridal shower this Saturday and I am dreading all the work Friday and Saturday I have to do.

So jealous of your 7 day break from work! Enjoy it!
Morning ladies! Happy first day of fall! I wore a jacket to work to celebrate. Not that I need it, because it's Dallas and still September after all. But I swear I'm gonna wear it anyway.
It hit me so hard when I got up this morning that before too long I won't be working anymore, and that my alarm clock will be replaced by a crying newborn. Still getting used to that concept.
This transition is huge. And I can't even start to think about all the decisions I have yet to make d:
