My husband is on team mopping/vacuuming robot but we have 4 dogs and I bet they will bark NON STOP at it. They loaf all over the place and I can't imagine them being ok with it running into them. Also we have uneven floors. Also SO EXPENSIVE. But if I had them I wouldn't be trying to figure out when I am going to mop/vacuum today without everyone yelling at me for doing it while the tv is on, lol.
Current mom guilt of the day: we don't watch a lot of tv these days, because my son is crazy about trains and we spend all our time playing trains in the other room. We have watched like, over an hour of Blaze today and I am like, yeah ok we can do this once. I feel bad because I know its too much TV but I just can't make myself turn it off! plus I am trying to clean specific rooms every day of the week to minimize my work load every single day, and today is kitchen day. His TV watching is making me so productive.
I need advice on something and it’s completely possible that I’m overthinking this.
When DD was born 2.5 years ago, our neighbors generously offered to let us borrow a bassinet they had for the first few months of her life. Is it completely inappropriate for me to ask if they still have it and if we can borrow it again? Obviously it’s in no way their responsibility to provide for our kid, but it was awesome not having to spend the money on something we’d need for such a short period of time.
A little background on them in case it makes a difference. *TW*. They struggled with infertility for several years before ultimately adopting as infants two boys who are now 3 & 5. They still kept trying for a biological child, and about a year ago she got pregnant but miscarried.
So is it ok to ask about borrowing it again? Or completely insensitive?
@tarheelgirl8 what I would do is maybe see if they offer it up again in conversation before out right asking. Maybe when y’all are discussing the pregnancy, mention having to get all the baby gear in order again and just see if they offer. Sounds like they are nice people and will if given the opportunity.

@tarheelgirl8 I wouldn't ask based of their struggles with infertility and MC. I feel like it's too sensitive and I would worry that maybe they got rid of it after a loss or due to a painful decision to stop trying or something. If it was a neighbor who had kids who just outgrew it without the heavy stuff I'd have no issues asking. I agree with @4deep and just wait and see if they offer it.

Fatigue and headaches. This fatigue is debilitating. I’ve been taking iron because I figured that was my problem but it only helps take the edge off. So, while I’m not falling asleep standing up, I still feel so drained all the time. It’s so much harder to be pregnant this time with a crazy almost 2 years old than it was the first time. I miss being able to take naps whenever I want and not having to share every single meal. He drank half my strawberry milkshake the other day.
edit to add- Got side tracked and forgot to ask my question!! How the heck do I keep DS from jumping on me/ my stomach???? It’s like it’s his new trampoline and he gives me such a stomach ache! I’ve been pushing him off but that just makes him attach to me even more “mommy hug?” After that he’ll sit nice for a minute and he’s pushing on my belly trying to get up and away. Like I know he’s not trying to and I always tell him be careful or don’t hurt the baby but he just keeps doing it.
@SmashJam I wish my kid would watch an hour of anything. Haha. And he only plays with toys for like 2 minutes. Mostly he just destroys the house. I’m jealous of you. Haha. Don’t feel Mom guilt!!
also, I have 3 dogs and one HATES vacuums!! I’d just create her while it runs. I TOTALLY want the robot mop one!! I saw it on sale for $165 at Target before Christmas- usually $199- and I’m KICKING MYSELF for not getting it!!
Nothing sounds yummy today. Nothing. Now here I am in a Taco Bell drive thru for one and am already regretting it. Why is food hard?
Also reporting in from the Taco Bell drive thru, expect it sounds delicious and I'm basically salivating. It's been my guilty pleasure with this pregnancy.
@4deep I’m having Mexican pizza and cinnamon twist envy! It’s been at least a decade - but we now drive by one every weekend and it’s SO on my pregnancy ‘bucket eating list’!
I love when I take my unisom at night and it means I have 30 minutes until lights out. One of my favorite times of the day. Currently filling up on some yogurt and blueberries and ignoring the fact that it smells exactly like the yogurt and blueberries I threw up the other night all over the bathroom...that was fun.
Also, at work, am I crazy for wanting people to send me documents to print that are already formatted for printing the way they want it to look? Today I spent so much time reformatting documents to be printed for our all day meeting on Thursday just to make them legible on paper. And the print requests are all vague: "print a bunch of copies". Um.... Sometimes I feel like it's a miracle that faculty are capable of doing anything on their own, yet all of us staff still feel like our time and effort isn't valued. Anyone else work in higher education? This is true across the board, isn't it?

I don’t work with faculty anymore, but yes they can be awful. When I did I was lucky to work with a division that had remarkably reasonable faculty. But others in the department....wow, just wow. No advice, just sending commiserating hugs!
As a STM, I wish I didn’t feel my baby move so early at 12 weeks. Now, I’m 15 weeks and I’m just freaking out whenever I don’t feel “her” (elective ultrasound tech thinks it’s a girl) move. Oh it gives me great anxiety! I get so tempted to pull out my Doppler but I know it’s not healthy for me or baby to do so every time. I need to just relax.
@SmashJam my son loves Blaze. It’s 11pm and it’s on tv now. He awoke from his night terrors. Thank goodness he’s going to his pediatrician tomorrow so I can bring up how disturbing it is. From what I read online, night terrors are common within two yr olds... it doesn’t hurt to bring it up anyways. Blaze however, is a great show. It focuses on STEM. We need more scientist and engineers.

Eek! My post got cut off. It’s supposed to read as:
“Blaze however, is a great show. It focuses on STEM. We need more scientist and engineers. Hopefully it’ll spark my son’s interest to go into science like me. Although with kids, you never know. Lol.”
im panicing a little bit. keep in mind I may be overreacting. I have a terrible headache well this is now day 5 of this constant headache. anyway I digress. I was taking a bath in our jacuzzi tub and my husband comes running up to tell me we have water leaking onto the floor below it... our house is brand new we just moved in at the end of Sept. The idea of people tearing apart my house to fix it just sucks and it has been my only relief lately. On top of thaf. DH is normally very handy and our lights for our stairs came in and he starts to install it only to find out the circuit also has DD's room so her night light and sound machine turned off. and I have been tending to her for the last hour all I wanted to do was try and sleep. Thankfully he is finally done for the night and I believe she is down too fingers crossed. anyways bad night and just needed to vent.
also I'm sorry I haven't been as present and supportive the last few weeks. These headaches are just killing me. Ill be working on doing better and hope everyone is doing okay.
@tarheelgirl8 I agree with what 4deep said id wait if they offer just based on their struggles it could be difficult for them right now if you outright ask. also look into facebook garage sale sites it parent and kid themed ones for your area sometimes you can find them reallg cheap but great quality
Soooo I caved in and got two things out of Craigslist. A rock and play and a Snugabear. Both are in amazing conditions and I got both for $68! DH was nice enough to pick them up. The rock and play apparently was never used and it sure looks like it. When DH brought them on he asked what the difference was between the two...I tried to explain it to him but I don't think he got it. In a lot of ways I'm sure they do similar things.
I figured if the baby hates either or if I change my mind I'll probably be able to unload them and only lose a few bucks if anything. I think it was a good deal!
@owl_momma Joining late but I also had Hashimoto’s, pre-pregnancy. I started this pregnancy with a TSH of 9+ but my T3 and T4 levels are normal, and I’m 15 weeks now and things have been good so far. I take 150 mcg of levothyroxine and am getting retested on the 31st. Let me know how things go for you. A lot of people get by just fine. I take my prenatal at night and my thyroid pill in the morning. I usually wait an hour and a half before eating just to make sure it’s really good in there lol, but you don’t have to wait that long. An hour should be good.
Since I see we have a few thyroid/Hashimoto's ladies on here...got my latest results yesterday and mt TSH went down from 1.5 at the beginning of my pregnancy to 0.6 at 13 weeks. I was at 125 mcg and my doctor lowered me to 112 for now, retest in 5ish weeks. I trust my doctor but I feel nervous lowering my dose during pregnancy. Anyone experienced this? From what I can tell, .6 is low but not too low, and for 2nd trimester they want you above .3.
Sorry, I have another random question. Okay ladies, talk to me about flying during pregnancy. I never flew last time, but I have a work conference across the country (6ish hour flight) in March. I'll be 22 weeks. I know I CAN fly (unless an issue comes up), but will I be miserable? Honestly, I hate this conference and do not want to go, and wondering if my pregnancy is a legit excuse to get out of it. It's not required, but more frowned upon if I don't go. It's a 3 hour time change (NY to CA) so coming home on a Sunday I'll lose 3 hours and then be expected to show up at work Monday morning. It's a Thurs - Sunday conference so I lose my weekend and I do NOT get comp days or anything like that, so it ends up being 12 straight days of work with no break.The conference is also in a city that is around 2 hours from the closest airport, so it's a solid 8-9 hours of traveling. Last pregnancy my swelling was out of control, though I don't remember when it started. So, in your opinion, am I being a big baby or is my pregnancy a legit reason to decline attending?
@zande2016 I’m going to a conference for DH’s work in March too. I’ll be 24 or 25 weeks I think? But it’s also in Disney and one of the only perks of his job so I’m GOING. I went three years ago to the same conference but in CO when I was pregnant (20+ish weeks too) and everything was fine. By fine I mean bearable. I had a LOT of pain in my ribs from sitting so long and a tiny bit of swelling. Seriously so much pain in my ribs, but that was a problem even before traveling. I think if you don’t want to go, pregnancy is probably a good reason not to attend, especially because it isn’t mandatory. It sounds like you’d be miserable.
@hayhay Good to know! I wasn't sure how long I was supposed to wait to eat and I definitely haven't been waiting an hour most days (it's only been a week) so I'll make sure I wait!
Nice to see that everyone who is dealing with this or has it doing just fine!
@zande2016 I have zero experience in this, but I would say that the pregnancy is a totally legit reason. Especially if you will be sitting all day and then the flight to boot. However, if you do decide to go make sure you get an aisle seat so you can get up or, if you or work is so inclined to pay for it, get an upgrade.
@zande2016 I think it's a legit excuse. I would just ask your OB to write you a note (mine would totally do that for me) even if you technically CAN fly at that stage of pregnancy.

Thanks for the feedback! @acunamatada@nimmle@Sarafuss. I am such a wuss when it comes to these things, I know I need to stand up to my boss but I hate the judgement I know she is passing on me when I put my health/happiness/family over career (yeah, she sucks....and yeah, she's a mom, but prioritizes her career above everything and expects everyone to do the same).
Can I make a flame-free confession on a Tuesday? lol
I'm getting nervous because I feel so strongly that this is a girl. I wanted to go into this pregnancy not guessing one way or the other but it's such a strong feeling. This is our last baby and DD wants a sister so badly and I would love for her to have one. She keeps saying, "I don't want three boys!" Haha! Obviously, I will be thrilled with a healthy baby, boy or girl. But I only had brothers and would have loved a sister so I'm hoping DD gets to experience that. I know if it is a boy she will come around and be excited (and I will too!). It's not that I would be disappointed to have another son, definitely not! I think it's just the (potential) of missing out on the experience of two daughters. I hope that makes sense!
*TW: infant loss* (I think I also feel strongly about having a girl because we lost a daughter so I feel like DD missed out on having a sister because of that).

Putting this out here hoping the shame of the reality of my living room will motivate me to clean it. I have just been so exhausted and sick most of the time, and this is the result. My husband's been prioritizing the kitchen and laundry.
@lindsayleigh1989 I hope you feel better soon, 5 days of headaches sounds awful. Since your home is new I assume it's still under the builder's warranty? Fingers crossed it's an easy fix.
@zande2016 If this won't hurt your career and you genuinely feel like you'd be miserable skip it. That being said, I personally would go. I feel like as a young woman I want equal pay and respect and I want to earn it so I would never use pregnancy as an excuse to skip out on something work related. I'm not saying that you're using it as an excuse as it seems like you have legit concerns but I'm just putting it out there.
I flew several times during my last pregnancy, from SF to LA, SF to Portland, SF to NY and SF to Jamaica being the longest. I felt zero difference between flying pregnant and flying non-pregnant. But, these were all before 25 weeks and I didn't have any discomfort. I'm sure I would feel differently if I was sick, in pain or dealing with any tough side effects. So it's a personal choice.
@Sarafuss that makes absolute sense and I think it's a common feeling. I have a 2 year old DD and when we found out baby #2 was a girl I felt a slight sadness about possibly never having a son. I'm in love with this baby and I want HER so much but I wonder if I'll ever be a boy mom.
@runsomewhere thanks for saying that. The mom guilt gets to me sometimes.

@runsomewhere I'm glad you chimed in because I tend to think the same way. I feel like for the sake of women's work reputations in general, I wouldn't use pregnancy as as excuse not to go because it just adds fuel to the fire of those who will judge - unless its a medical reason of course. @zande2016 I wonder if they could accommodate some requests to make the trip easier, like upgrading your seat, letting you take a day off after returning, or just shortening the trip? That being said, I have also never been 20-something weeks pregnant so I can't say I won't feel the same way when I get there
@lindsayleigh1989 5 days of headaches sounds simply awful. I hope it goes away soon!!
@zande2016 Like others have said, I would totally not want to go. That is a lot to ask of anyone, not to mention someone who is in the process of creating a human. I hope you don't have any problems getting out of it!

I flew several times during my last pregnancy, from SF to LA, SF to Portland, SF to NY and SF to Jamaica being the longest. I felt zero difference between flying pregnant and flying non-pregnant. But, these were all before 25 weeks and I didn't have any discomfort. I'm sure I would feel differently if I was sick, in pain or dealing with any tough side effects. So it's a personal choice.
@Sarafuss that makes absolute sense and I think it's a common feeling. I have a 2 year old DD and when we found out baby #2 was a girl I felt a slight sadness about possibly never having a son. I'm in love with this baby and I want HER so much but I wonder if I'll ever be a boy mom.

@zande2016 Like others have said, I would totally not want to go. That is a lot to ask of anyone, not to mention someone who is in the process of creating a human. I hope you don't have any problems getting out of it!
Carter's has 70% off of their Clearance stuff so I just bought the CUTEST little Halloween Cat dress/jumper, and two other cute little girly outfits. I sent a text to my husband of what I bought and said "...and so it begins"
