I got too distracted to confess anything earlier so now I will:
-We bought stuff to make this chili dip for the football game tonight and I almost cried when I couldn't make it and just eat the entire bowl for lunch
-We picked blackberries so that I could make pie four days ago and I still haven't
-My house is a huge mess right now and I'm bumping and not cleaning....
My FFC: my husband is out of town on a canoe trip and I don't think I talked to anyone except my dog yesterday. Today I am way better - phoned my parents, pharmacist, barista, cashier. Boo-ya! Social butterfly over here!
@AdventureMama I'm in the same boat re: cleaning. So many laundry piles to fold and put away!
My employees are on my very last nerve today. They're being super whiny and lazy...so I'm playing up my "pregnancy symptoms" to make them feel bad. It's the only effective way I've found to make them move their butts and actually work! All the while I'm just sitting on TB.

@AdventureMama I'm in the same boat re: cleaning. So many laundry piles to fold and put away!
You go girl, this is something I would totally remember too. Im a newly realized introvert. ) Who knew I was into labels?
I have 6 baskets of laundry sitting on my bedroom floor that have been waiting to be folded for about 2 weeks now..
I have a comparable amount, actually folded- but not put away. We've both been just tearing the baskets apart every morning to find stuff, then gently piling it all back in.
DH's step mom texted to see if we wanted to get a drink after work. I told him to rain check because I really wanted to spend time with him alone. Really I just want to get home, change into sweats, be completely lazy, and not talk to another human (besides H, of course).
A few days before Christmas 2014, I found out I was pg. H and I were, of course, thrilled. So, I started getting things taken care of...getting on WIC and getting medicaid (as H is the one who works but his company doesn't provide insurance.) A few days after getting approved for both, I had the misfortune of having a mc. Fast forward to June when I got the BFP. I somehow got it in my head, which I guess is pretty understandable, that if I rushed to get medicaid and WIC again, something awful would happen. So, I continued to put it off. Finally, last Thursday, I got out of my own head and decided I'd better get medicaid and go to a doctor to make sure everything is going good with my pregnancy because I kept seeing post after post on other baby apps of women's ultrasounds and that things were good and then others asking what everyone else was doing and I couldn't contribute because I haven't done anything. Except for not going to a doctor yet, I have been taking prenatals and eating healthy and exercising to do my part in making sure the baby is healthy. I was approved for medicaid 2 days ago, but now I'm waiting for my card to get here because I'm afraid that if I don't have the card, the clinic I have to go to before I get the appointment with the doctor I want to see, won't take me without a hardcopy in my hand. I'm positive that I let the fears of the mc in January get into my head and mess with me, but now I'm finally out of my own head, I really want to make sure the baby is healthy and growing good. FYI: The mc in January was my first one ever and I didn't really have any support system to help me through it except my H and our DS. I had had 3 full term healthy pregnancies before the mc.
I'm an introvert extrovert. I have to talk all the time for my job but as soon as I get home my H wants to talk about his day and my day and I only want silence sometimes.

Oh my gosh, me too! I could never explain it but I can fake a good conversation like the best of them, I have to for my job as well but I really like keep to myself outside of work and would rather just stay home than go out with friends anyway.
Aww @tigeraj8170, thanks for sharing. I hope my question didn't come off to you as judgmental, it was just curiosity and I actually wondered if it were something like that. I'm so sorry you had a m/c and I'm sorry you've been nervous this time. I'm glad you're being healthy and taking care of yourself and you're getting the doctor thing taken care of! I hope you have a happy and healthy nine months. >:D<
@AdventureMama, thank you. I'm assuming that everything is going good with me so far...except for the constant tiredness, nausea, mood swings, food aversions, soreness...yup, all the regular stuff. :-) but really, I can't wait for a doctor to tell me that everything is great.
I kind of want to skip my anatomy scan. I want to go solely for the purpose of the POINT of the AS, to make sure baby is healthy in every way. I've always wanted to be Team Green, and it's super fun to guess what the sex is, but I don't really want to know until the delivery room. But I know that I COULD find out at the anatomy scan, and that temptation is just too hard to resist. I just wish I couldn't know. Does that make sense?

This is my first pregnancy so I don't really know but is there a way they could turn the screen so you can't see it? And then maybe show you just some face profiles or something? I kind of feel the same way, totally want to wait but it could be hard to resist.
My FFFC: laundry isn't a huge deal to me and usually gets done, but I can't remember the last time I cleaned my toilets or even changed my sheets...and it's not much different when I'm not pregnant.
@tigeraj8170 I would imagine if you have some confirmation of being approved (letter/email), the clinic would take that as proof of insurance and get you in. You can also try to call and get your ID number before your card comes. In my state, the letter serves the purpose and there's a number providers call to get a temporary ID number. You shouldn't have to keep waiting! Best of luck!!

It's projected onto a monitor that's like a 32" TV. IDK. H and I decided we would ask the tech to not say out loud and seal it up and do a sex reveal at the shower where we find out with everyone else. But I even feel like that's cheating. Having the envelope with you for 2 months?
I left my husband of almost 18 years one year ago tomorrow. It was the scariest thing I've done, but now I have everything I never knew I could have and I've done more than he ever thought I could. I got my shopping addiction under control, getting my finances in order, and bought a house all by myself. I'm proud of myself but still feel horrible for what I put him through.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I probably would've done the same. I've heard from some ladies that doctors won't even see them till 12 weeks, so I wouldn't feel too bad anyway! You obviously know what you're doing in terms of keeping you and the baby healthy. Good luck on your upcoming doctor's visit and let us know how it goes!

Oh honey I am so sorry! I have had 3 and its terrible. It can mess with you really bad. Im sorry you felt like you didn't have a good support system either. There is a medicaid database that you can plug someones name and DOB in and it will show whether you are active or not…. They may take your card to make a copy of it but its usually not needed. Now Ill say that and they will show me a liar. Keep us posted on when you have scheduled your appt though!
@geojam224 We are team green and when we go to the anatomy scan we will make sure to remind her but I am going to tell her if she has to spend any time in that area let me know and Ill turn my head… I have 2 boys so I feel like I will know what that will look like on their and I honestly do not want to know. However, if my husband went he would be sneaking glances!

Uhhh I completely understand. I am hardcore team green EXCEPT during that moment at the AS when they ask if you want to know. And then just knowing the person standing right in front of you KNOWS is killer. But DH is very committed to not knowing so he was very firm in saying no, even when I was like, "Aww but honey..." And then when I left I was like, "OMG! I don't want to know! If I had been alone I would have let them tell me! What the heck!?" Sooo yeah I get it. Just tell them at the beginning that you do NOT want to know, no matter how much you ask. haha.
@TheBeggsBunch but see, I'm not an enthusiastic Team Green. Like how some people are proud to be Team Green and stick to their guns. I can EASILY be persuaded. Deep down I want to be Team Green, but I just don't think I have the willpower to make it.
I got too distracted to confess anything earlier so now I will:
-We bought stuff to make this chili dip for the football game tonight and I almost cried when I couldn't make it and just eat the entire bowl for lunch
-We picked blackberries so that I could make pie four days ago and I still haven't
-My house is a huge mess right now and I'm bumping and not cleaning....
What is this chili dip you speak of?
Oooh it's so good. Okay it's a package of cream cheese and a can of Hormel chili with no beans, stick in a bowl in the microwave, then when it's all hot and mixed up together, mix in some shredded cheddar cheese, then put some cheese on top, then enjoy with tortilla chips!
My family loves it for games and parties so we always double it. I've been looking forward to it for... four hours now.
My sister's best friend is having a baby (their first) and their due date is two days ahead of me. That's nice for them, but since this is the first baby in my family, and I'm selfish, all I can really think is that they'd better not steal my thunder.
