GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?

JessicaC0203

How far along are you? EDD? 9 weeks today!! 9/1/16

How are you feeling? The #exhaustion is real. I am usually full of energy and never drink caffeine because it makes me to jittery. Lately, I can barely move during the day. I would rather be in bed all the time. Other than that, I have gotten use to the other typical pregnancy symptoms.

Doing anything baby related today? Nope.

Raves/Rants/Randoms: Had our 2nd ultrasound this week and baby grew a lot. I went from CRL being one day behind LMP 2 weeks ago to being 2 days ahead this week. Makes me happy that things are going well! It is also more real. I also started wearing my belly band with my dress pants from work. I haven't gained weight but they definitely are too uncomfortable without it. Love the belly band so far. I am also telling my parents the news this weekend and so excited!

Questions? Not that I can think of.

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?

1. Fruit --- I love fruit (all fruits) so much and that makes up my primary diet. I would be so sad without them.

2. Mascara --- this is the only essential makeup item that I have to have. I have long eyelashes but without my mascara I look dead.

3. My car --- I am not into cars but where I live it is essential as there is not a good public transportation option. Without it, I would not be able to work or go many places that are not in walking distance. Very grateful.

How far along are you? EDD?
-8w3d September 5th.

How are you feeling?
-I am seriously so sick. I can barely function, I can't keep food down, and I'm exhausted. I've been like this for 3 weeks and hoping it passes soon. Being PGAL, I am thankful for symptoms but they could let up a little bit.

R/R/R?
-my 4yr old stayed all night with my SIL and my 3yr nephew. He will be with them all day. I am taking it easy and plan on going to bed around 6:30. Dh and DS are going to a friends for pizza tonight. I declined, my bed sounds so much better.

GTKY-
Materialistically?
-chocolate milk... I seriously live on this, even not pregnant.
-my bible
-my planner or EO's .... I needed it to say "4"!! I couldn't choose.

How far along are you? EDD? 7w2d

How are you feeling? Pretty good so far

Doing anything baby related today? no

Raves/Rants/Randoms:  Today is the day I was suppose to get my tubes tied

Questions?

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?  Other than my kids I would say my sunglasses, my car, and I can't think of a 3rd

LizC216

How far along are you? EDD? 8w2d

How are you feeling? Mentally = nervous; Physically = some slight nausea

Doing anything baby related today? Yes, headed to an appt in just a bit. After the slight bit of pinkish discharge, I had mild cramps the rest of the night. I'm so scared. I know it can be normal, but with my history it doesn't seem good. I literally just saw my baby on an ultrasound last Thursday. I'm praying this is a fluke.

Raves/Rants/Randoms: I just had cinnamon raisin toast for breakfast and it was amazing.

Questions? Nope

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without? Well in addition to my girls...Sunglasses (copying from @618mom22boys...but I do have light eyes and migraines, so I pretty much need these), my phone....it literally has everything in there, some sort of sweets - chocolate, gummies, etc. 
 

KristinUM12

How far along are you? EDD? 5w4d..edd 9/25

How are you feeling? Ok. Just started having the first waves of nausea yesterday and today, and some mild cramping that has been there since before I got my BFP and hasn't gone away yet. ...but I'm feeling like that's not anything to complain about at this point!

Doing anything baby related today? Um, yes. I can't stop researching pregnancy/baby stuff at work! Also, DH was researching baby strollers and car seats last night...super cute

Raves/Rants/Randoms: I can't concentrate on anything at all! all I can think about is baby and pregnancy. I feel a bit guilty at work because I constantly have to refocus myself to ACTUALLY do some work!!!

Questions? 

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without? 1) Tea, 2) my phone...I can't really think of a third.

marajay6

How far along are you? EDD? About 6 1/2 weeks. Dating ultrasound is less than 2 weeks away.

How are you feeling? It really feels like with this pregnancy, my symptoms have started earlier and are more persistent than they were when I was pregnant with DS. Combine that with the fact that I was so bloated yesterday, I started wondering how many babies are growing in there....

Doing anything baby related today? Not really

Raves/Rants/Randoms: been really super busy at work, but it seems to finally be getting better.

Questions? None that are baby or pregnancy related, but since a lot of you already have kids, mind if I ask questions about my 1 year old? DS is almost 15 mos and I am struggling big time at trimming his fingernails and toe nails. Any suggestions?

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without? 1. Indoor plumbing 2. Electricity 3. Grocery stores. I have done enough hiking and camping to appreciate many of our modern conveniences.

kosmo86

How far along are you? 8 weeks 6 days  EDD? 9-2

How are you feeling? Morning and early afternoons a bit sick and tired but at night I feel fine and then I get scared I don't feel pregnant.

Doing anything baby related today? Making amazon wish lists and bumping

Raves/Rants/Randoms: ready for the 2nd tri!

Questions? Should we start a sonogram thread? I have seen it on some other BMBs 

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without? good food, books and my dogs 

reesaXden

@kosmo86 ... I just started one.

Sarafuss

How far along are you? EDD?  8w3d, EDD 9/5

How are you feeling? Pretty good.  Still have mild nausea that comes and goes.  But it's not too bad.

Doing anything baby related today?  Nope.

Raves/Rants/Randoms: This week is moving sooooo slowly.  I just need to make it through the rest of today and then my u/s is in the morning.  And then we leave for Vegas super early on Saturday (more like middle of the night on Friday).  Can't wait!

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?  DH, DS, and DD.  lol but for a more fun answer I think they would be food related.  Graeter's ice cream, potatoes and cheese.  I've been diabetic for all of my pregnancies (and I expect to be again when they test me in a month) and I hate having to give up my ice cream and all the carbs that are bad for me.  My mom brings me a pint of Graeter's ice cream to have in the hospital after I deliver.  It's become tradition lol.  

diagonalley

How far along are you? EDD? 6 weeks 2 days, EDD 9/20

How are you feeling? Bloated and a little funny in my tummy, but not quite nauseous.  

Doing anything baby related today? Nope

Raves/Rants/Randoms: I already have to get up every night to pee.  Super annoying.  (Also, I always used to eye roll when people would say that.  The baby is so freakin tiny right now!) Definitely did not happen this early with my first.  Subsequent pregnancies and experiencing things faster is no joke!

Questions? No

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without? My family, chocolate, and books

Sarafuss

@marajay6 does he squirm and cry when you try to cut them?  My kids did that and I tried make a game out of it.  I would try to cut  each nail in three "snips".  I would have them count with me, "one snip, two snips, three!" and say "good job!" and make a big deal after each nail so it seemed like they did something amazing each time.  Now they don't mind having their nails cut at all.  

yolandamunoz

How far along are you? EDD?
I am 7 weeks

How are you feeling?
I feel mostly ok. Just some bloating, sore boobs and lots of hunger.

Doing anything baby related today?
Today I will have my 2nd ultrasound, hoping to see my baby (my first u/s at 5 weeks only showed the sack and yolk)

Raves/Rants/Randoms:
I am in line to renew my id right now... Taking forever and I'm so hungry!

Questions?
I'm a first time pregnant and over 35, I'm full of questions and nerves! For example: how bad does it hurt to breastfeed?

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?
Chocolate, opera, dogs

JasonKristen

How far along are you? EDD? 9/22

How are you feeling? Good, but so sleepy.  DS wet the bed the other night and I forgot to throw his sheets in the wash so he slept with us.  Note to self, buy spare sheets.

Doing anything baby related today? Nope

Raves/Rants/Randoms: I went to the grocery store yesterday and only bought meat and eggs, $100 worth.  Give me all the protein. 

Questions? Anyone's acne actually getting better with pregnancy?

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?  DH, DD, and DS, but other than them I would say music, my camera, and protein (any form, can you tell what I am craving?).

Sarafuss

@yolandamunoz I didn't feel like it hurt to breastfeed.  In the beginning your nips can become dry and cracked from cluster feeding but I used lanolin before and after each feeding and I didn't have a problem with that!

Steephers123

@marajay6 DD never had problems with me trimming her nails, but I did, it freaked me out. Most of the time I use an emery board and she seems to find it fun because she can help out.

How far along are you? EDD? 7w3d 9/12

How are you feeling? I've been taking diclegis at night so I'm not exactly nauseous, but I can always feel it lurking. Tired, like I'm losing my memory. Impatient to get past first tri so I can stop sucking in this blump.

Doing anything baby related today? 2nd Dr's appt today, I get my first ultrasound!

Raves/Rants/Randoms: I am over this week. If it wasn't for the appt today it would be a total bust. Next week I have a bunch of fun stuff to do and the week after that is vacation.

Questions?

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?
A book to read, my phone. Having a hard time thinking of another one besides DH and DD. Carbs maybe?

MoshiMoshi7

How far along are you? EDD? 5 weeks 3 days

How are you feeling? Other than being constantly exhausted, pretty good so far.

Doing anything baby related today? Nope.

Raves/Rants/Randoms: My two year old kept trying to jump on my stomach so we told him he had to be gentle because there's a baby in Mama's tummy. Now he keeps coming up to me and lifting up my shirt "to see where the baby is". Kid cracks me up!

Questions? Nope.

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?
Other than DS, I would say books, pasta, and chapstick.

reesaXden

@JasonKristen ... My skin is so clear right now!!!! I'm not sure why but I'll take it!!

JasonKristen

@marajay6 at that age I would just have to hold them and do it as fast as I could.  No reasoning, games, etc would work for me.  It passed in time, but don't ask me how long! 

@yolandamunoz breastfeeding is painful for the first few weeks.  You have to make sure they have a good latch.  Really get your whole nipple in their mouth.  It was most painful for me when they would first latch, but as they nursed it wouldn't hurt as much.  Also, you will get contractions the first week or two while nursing.  I hear it is worse with each child and I can confirm it did with my second.  I don't really remember getting them with DD past our hospital stay.  It will make your toes curl, but worth it once you get over the hump.  

marajay6

thanks @Sarafuss and @Steephers123 I think I might try the emery board on his fingers. He just squirms so much. With his toe nails, I think he just has really ticklish feet and squirms and laughs every time I touch them. I should also try to clip his nails while he has a bottle - he tends to be a bit less squirmy then.

backoffunicorn

@yolandamunoz in the beginning it hurts most people cause of the cracked nipples like PP mentioned. Once you get past that, it doesn't hurt unless you get mastitis or when your baby gets teeth and decides to mess with you.

How far along are you? EDD? 8w 1d; 9/7

How are you feeling? Blah, blah, blah

Doing anything baby related today? Nope

Raves/Rants/Randoms: I had to run out of DD's room last night when putting her to bed to throw up. I had to call for DH twice to come and grab her. She cried so right after I emptied the contents of my stomach, I went back. DH just continued sitting in the chair and decided to be funny playing with our dog. I had to ask him multiple times to get up so I could sit back down. He didn't bother to ask if I was ok. Guess he's getting used to it.

Questions? Nope

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without? 1. Family 2. Books 3.roof over my head.

TheTamedShrew

How far along are you? EDD? 9w1d

How are you feeling? This is the first day that I've felt like leaving the house before noon. I guess my hormone levels are already balancing out. I still get waves of nausea here and there, but it isn't leaving me chained to the couch/bed

Doing anything baby related today? Just trying to stay away from the internet and stop reading about how the Zika virus could attack the south in the spring.

Raves/Rants/Randoms: I am going to Old Navy to check out maternity jeans and then having lunch with DH. Happy Thursday!

Questions? My main question of the day has already been put in a separate post.

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without? Aside from my family I would have to say false eyelashes (random I know), regular cardio, and theater. If I wasn't pregnant I would have to replace eyelashes with caffeine. I have a compulsion called trichotillomania that I have had since I was 8 years old. It causes me to pluck at my eyebrows and eyelashes, and thus they have thinned out some over time. I get self conscious because mascara doesn't thicken the lashes enough for me, so I have a whole stash of lashes of varying lengths.

Yailani23

How far along are you? EDD? 5 weeks today- 9/29

How are you feeling? Pretty good, tired!

Doing anything baby related today? Browsing the bump.

Raves/Rants/Randoms: I'm a little worried. With my first pregnancy I was nauseous around this time and it gave me a sense of reassurance. I know every pregnancy is different and I should enjoy the lack of nausea for now but I can't help but worry.

Questions? None for now.

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?

Aside from my family
1. Chocolate
2. Makeup
3. Music

PSUBecky23

@yolandamunoz only BFed one until about 14m but it never hurt for me. In the beginning it was a little uncomfortable but once I got used to it, it was fine. Highly recommend gel soothies and the phone number for a lactation consultant

jhems776

How far along are you? EDD? 5w3d 9/26

How are you feeling? My usual now: sore BBs, slight background nausea, and if I haven't drank water in the last 30m my cramps come back.

Doing anything baby related today? No

Raves/Rants/Randoms:  So today marks six months since I stopped my very bad habit of 10 years and I'm very proud of myself, before the longest I made it was 3 months like five years ago.  I calculated that I have saved/not spent on the habit almost one thousand dollars!

Questions?

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?
Air, food, and water. Hehehe.  In material things: my phone, dry shampoo, and blue tooth in my car.  I was going to say wine but I guess I can   

FireInWonderland

How far along are you? EDD?
- 7w2d EDD 9/13

How are you feeling?
- like hot garbage. EVERYTHING I eat, healthy or not, makes me sick and keeping things down is a challenge. Also, the acne coming in makes me want to cry, my boobs hurt and I keep having gas pains. Plus I don't want to leave my house, not even to exercise anymore. I want to give up for a couple weeks but doing nothing makes me feel even worse. I'm so tired...

Doing anything baby related today?
- no, yesterday I filled out my medical history for "pregnancy orientation" thanks military, and got my labs for my first physical next week. Today I just want to keep food down.

Raves/Rants/Randoms:
- my symptoms are worse than they were with either of my last pregnancies. I want to cry. More than I already am. I've been so sick I haven't even been on TB in days.

Questions?
- anyone else's SO seem unsympathetic, or indifferent about your symptoms? I know he doesn't mean to but DH is killing me with the expectation that I continue on like normal when I feel so disgusting.

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?
- 1. DH; 2. Good books and TV shows; 3. ginger ale and nerds rope (my favorite snack)

mamadomino

@yolandamunoz Breastfeeding was never painful for me, until my son was about a year old and thought biting was hilarious. If you are having a lot of pain, there is likely something wrong. My hospital had lactation consultants and there are also breastfeeding groups that you can attend to get help. La Leche League and Kellymom.com are both good resources.

How far along are you? EDD? 4w6d (longest effing week of my life), EDD 9.30

How are you feeling? Decent. A coworker broke his nose last night playing basketball with some of our clients... so I feel like compared to that I'm doing just fine.

Doing anything baby related today? Bumping. Trying to convince my husband we need an early ultrasound.

Raves/Rants/Randoms: I don't even know. I feel like I'm in pregnancy purgatory. I'm too nervous to get excited.

Questions? Don't really have any.

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without? My son, my husband, my phone.

malonesown

How far along are you? EDD? About 5 weeks, from what I can tell EDD is around September 29th.

How are you feeling? Very fatigued, but other than that, no complaints!

Doing anything baby related today? Working today, so nothing baby related (other than this post).

Raves/Rants/Randoms: Just so ecstatic to be pregnant following our history of infertility!!

Questions?

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without? (1) My husband - he is absolutely my best friend, my confidant, and my rock. I don't know what I would do without him. (2) My pets - we have 3 silly animals, 2 cats and a dog. Our dog is a spitz/heeler mix and MY baby, she'll turn 6 on Valentine's Day. Our 20 pound male cat is turning 4 this year and our female feline is turning 2 (DH's baby). (3) COFFEE - I have had to really cut back on my coffee intake since my BFP (was drinking 4-5 cups/day), but that one cup a day I'm allowed is glorious.

yolandamunoz

Thank You @Sarafuss @backoffunicorn @JasonKristen @mamadomino @PSUBecky23 for your input I will take note and follow your advice when baby is here. In the end it seems to be worth it, but man it's scary for me! Teeth and boobs? Nooooo!!!!!

8 weeks and 5 days, September 3, 2016

How are you feeling? 
Extremely tired, and nausea in the evenings. 

Doing anything baby related today?
Just staring at my little peanut in it's first ultrasound picture  

Raves/Rants/Randoms: 
So I had my first appointment yesterday, got an ultrasound and heard the heart beat. Probably the most amazing thing ever. The heart beat was 178 bpm, so really high! I found out I am a day farther along than I thought.

Questions?
How did everyone else's first appointments go?!

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without? Makeup, my husband, FOOD

erinmarie86

How far along are you? EDD? A little over o weeks I think

How are you feeling? Great surprisingly

Doing anything baby related today? YES I'm going to the doctor for my first appointment and hoping to see the baby and confirm/get my due date!!

Raves/Rants/Randoms:

Questions? I asked yesterday but don't know if i got a response...constipation...anyone else got it? How are you dealing with it? I want to go but seriously struggle (going to talk to the doc about it today)

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?
1. My family
2. My dogs
3. Cell phone? I seem to be on it a lot, though I wish I wasn't

@JessicaC0203 - How exciting that baby grew so much!

@FireInWonderland - my only frustrating symptom has really been the fatigue, which is extreme for me. DH was constantly looking at me like I'm a big baby or that I'm just being lazy and trying to get out of house chores. I started talking to him more about how I'm feeling throughout the day (we already email each other 1-2 times per day to just say hi so I normally give a symptom update, too) and once he realized that I was falling asleep at like 7:30 every night, he started realizing that this isn't a "normal" tired and started being more sympathetic and helpful. I had to plea with him a couple times, but he got there.

How far along are you? EDD? 6w4d 9/18

How are you feeling? Very fatigued, nausea, but mostly in the evening. I'll also have raving hunger followed by food aversions. Crazy

Doing anything baby related today? Bumping, reading stuff on the web. I'll probably end up staring at my ultrasound pic when I get home because, let's face it, it's just so cool!

Raves/Rants/Randoms: My boss was being stealthy and may have caught me reading info on What to Expect... whoops.

Questions?

GTKY: My car, my cochlear implant, my job - not because I love it, but because I like a steady flow of income

Forever0905

How far along are you? EDD? 6w6d - 9/16/16

How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good today. Morning sickness hit me last week and I feel like I'm finally figuring out how to manage it. If I don't eat every two hours, exactly, I'm screwed. 

Doing anything baby related today? Nope.

Raves/Rants/Randoms:  I'm a little paranoid that people at work can tell I'm pregnant. I work in a school so once one person suspects it'll make the rounds. I feel like EVERYONE is glancing at my stomach before saying hello in the hallway. The blump isn't helping hahaha.

Questions? What are your thoughts on visiting the chiropractor? I go for the occasional adjustment but I'm worried about it now that I'm pregnant.

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without? The only thing that comes to mind is my Kindle. I'm addicted!

COmama87

@erinmarie86 I've been devouring Raisin Bran (I actually was craving it) and that seemed to cure the constipation woes for me.

ajn092

@LizC216 Fx that everything looks okay at your appt.  Keep us posted!

@TheTamedShew Have fun looking at maternity jeans!  I can’t wait to start clothes shopping.  I have to admit that I’ve already bought 2 belly bands and considered (for a second) wearing them today.  I’ve got an uncomfortable blump…

@jhems776 Congratulations on the 6th month anniversary!  That’s a lot of money that can be spent on more fun things or saved

@FireInWonderland sorry you’re feeling so crummy!  

How far along are you? EDD?  5W 1D.  9/28/16

How are you feeling? Pretty good except I’m tired.  Exhausted by the end of the day.  But that’s probably more from not sleeping well due to stress instead of pregnancy symptoms.  *TMI Warning* I’ve been kinda constipated so I’m hoping that goes away soon.

Doing anything baby related today?  Not that I know of…

Raves/Rants/Randoms: Feel much better today since it looks like my HCG #s are doubling every 48 hours. The nurse called last night with my numbers but would only say that the doctor will call with next steps today.  I’m hoping they’ll bring me in for an ultrasound sometime next week - earlier than they usually do - because of the dip.

1/20 – HCG at 34 (to confirm pregnancy).  Period Due.

1/21 – HCG at 16

1/23 – HCG at 160

1/27 – HCG at 901

Questions?

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?  My cell phone, good food/favorite restaurants, and (most of the time) chocolate.  One of my “symptoms” with this baby is that I’m not craving chocolate like I usually do.  Most mornings I would have a Hershey’s kiss or two after breakfast.  Haven’t been doing that lately…I just don’t need it.  

LizC216

@ajn092 Thank you!

An update: I went to my appt. I do have a yeast infection (gross, I know) but they didn't see any blood and everything looked normal. They were somehow able to get me in for an ultrasound right then and there (never happens). The tech saw a baby and a heartbeat right away. Baby was measuring exactly at 8w2d (last week, baby measured about 4 days behind) and a strong heartbeat of 167 bpm. I cried the minute she told me the news. I was convinced it wasn't going to be good. The cramps started to come back this morning, so she told me to take it easy, which I will gladly do.

5+1, 9/28

How are you feeling?
I didn't sleep well last night so I am extremely tired today. I'm having some cramping which is making me super nervous. I'm hungry all the time...

Doing anything baby related today?
Nope

Raves/Rants/Randoms: Definatly been more moody and I feel bad for DH. I was mad with him last night because he was supposed to stay up late to get back on schedule (he works graveyard) and he went to bed anyway. I was so looking forward to having the bed to myself and when that didn't happen I got unrationally upset with him

Questions?

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?
1. Family

AnnaS930

EDD: 9/6

Feeling? Pretty good! Waves of nausea pass quickly, not completely fatigued but I did have today off.

Baby related: had my 1st appointment and they got me in for a dating ultrasound today!!! They squeezed me in, I love my hospital. Baby is measuring exactly right for a 9/6 due date as I had calculated, heartbeat 172bpm and was waving arm buds around. Already called my sister and will call my parents tonight!!!! I am over the moon!

Randoms: need to start eating healthier. .. but not tonight. Having take out from our favorite local pizza chain that just opened up shop a town over... yesssss! Celebrating a good scan!

Questions: Nada

3 things: other than husband and my son...
1. Comfy clothes (i love changing when I get home.
2. Cheese.
3. The outdoors / being outside

mrsevyrew

How far along are you? EDD? 7w4d 9/11  

How are you feeling? Pretty good overall

Doing anything baby related today?  I bought 2 books at the used book store, a baby name book and The Baby Owner's Manual. I have to add them to the rest of the reading I'm doing.

Raves/Rants/Randoms: I went to a job fair today at my university. I got a few good hits. Now I'm de-briefing myself and following up with people. 

Questions? None today.

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?
1) DH - love him to death and he's been so supportive lately.
2) my phone. It has all of the important contact information on it so I would be lost without it.
3) Books and the internet - any place where I can get information. I love to be prepared for anything and any new situation.

Tennis11785

How far along are you? EDD? So based on my appointment today, my due date is 9/20.  So I guess that puts me at 6w2d.

How are you feeling? Pretty good.  The fatigue is still hitting hard.  

Doing anything baby related today? First ob appointment and u/s!  I got to see the little peanut!!  (although question below)

Raves/Rants/Randoms: I am getting on a 6am flight tomorrow.  Ugh, I'm already not looking forward to it!  

Questions? So I had my first appointment today.  After the u/s, they sent me back into the waiting room before calling me back to meet with the doctor.  After waiting in the exam room for 30 minutes, she came in and said "the ultra sound looks good.  now I want to talk to you about genetic testing" and she gave my husband and I the brochures for genetic testing and talked to us about the testing for downs.  And then she asked if I had any questions and that was it.  It was literally 5 minutes long.  And she didn't ask me anything like how I felt, if I was on prenatals, or anything.  "Looks good...here are tests to consider...done".  Is that normal?  It struck me as a little odd.  

GTKY: What are 3 things that you cannot live without?

1. Cheese
2. a warm hoodie (I'm ALWAYS cold)
3. Husband.  

@LizC216 - I've been totally craving raisin bread!  
@Sarafuss - Have fun in Vegas!!
@jhems776 - Congrats! 
@FireInWonderland - Oh my husband definitely is. While I have felt good, when I'm super sleepy I feel like he acts as if it's like not getting a good night's sleep the night before so you suck it up.  
@mamadomino - way to put it in perspective!
