We have eaten out/ gotten take out for dinner 4 of the past 5 days for dinner. I have no shame. The thought of cooking sounds terrible and exhausting. 

tessiesmom26

@pink_polkadots Ugh, us too! We literally have no room in the fridge because there is so many left over take-out boxes. Doesn't help that I don't eat half the time, so they just continue to sit there.

AFM I really have to get my ass in gear at work and process the payroll but I really just want time to fly by until my U/S appt tomorrow!!

@tessiesmom26 my husband was NOT happy with me Saturday night. All of a sudden pizza sounded amazing, so I was like go get a pizza, go get a pizza! He went out and picked up a pizza, and as soon as he got back the thought of eating pizza sounded like the worst possible thing. I opted for some chicken noodle soup instead... He was like, that was a huge waste of time AND money

also, is tomorrow your first appt? 

lurvleybunchococonuts

@pink_polkadots damnit... now I want pizza I already ate my oatmeal and my carrots which I brought for snack and a piece of turtle kringle.  I want ALL the food please.

pink_polkadots

@lurvleybunchococonuts I randomly want all the food but then when it comes to eating the food it’s a big N-O. Managing to eat some toast and butter with some strawberry lemonade(which has been saving my life with this MS) right now. I want to want all the food

@pink_polkadots Tomorrow is my first U/S. I have had a confirmation appt already. I've also been craving pizza and got some Saturday night. Yesterday I talked about having some and MH told me to eat my wrap instead since I got that the night before. It was semi close to dinner so I did. Then he went and ate a slice of my pizza! I was so mad! Then late last night he grabbed something from the fridge and sat and ate it. I was like "It that my pizza again?!?" And he's like "No! It's my calzone because I wanted pizza but didn't want to listen to you bitch about me eating your pizza so I am eating this!" Haha! He knew better then to do it again! 

pink_polkadots

@tessiesmom26 haha he should know better not to mess with a pregnant woman’s food!!

and GL at your appt! How exciting!

We are working on getting our house ready to put on the market and yesterday I put my foot down and told hubs I wanted to get a cleaning person to get it ready.  Imagine my surprise when he said okay!  Now to see if I can find a cleaner they can get us in by the end of the week!

brookepdavis

@marfi236 Good luck with putting your house on the market! And YESSSS to getting cleaners. Best decision I ever made last time I sold. One less thing to stress about is always a good thing.

@marfi236 - that is so great!!

So I got inspired to declutter my house a few weeks ago after listening to an audio book. I've been working on it little by little since it's hard to keep up with kids and just keeping our house clean. After my BFP, I feel even more inspired to do so, problem is my oldest has been on spring break last week and this week, and he is my most demanding child so no decluttering has been happening. Nausea hasn't hit yet and I am just crossing my fingers that it will stay away for at least a couple more weeks so I can really go at it next week when he's back in school.

The other day, while I was waiting for the pharmacy to fill my prescription, I was starving. (6 hours in ER and hadn't eaten that day). 
Bought a pack of 4 pastries because it was the only thing that didn't turn my stomach. 
Ate one in my car while I waited. 
Ate another when I got home and was waiting for my lunch to cook. Felt like a pig. Tried to leave the other 2 for DH.

He wasn't eating them. I got annoyed that they would to to waste. Took one with me to work yesterday.
 
Today is day 4 of the pastries. Last one was sitting there, all sad and lonely, getting dry and icky. 
Nausea had hit me hard while waiting in line for blood draw earlier. 
When I got home, The last pastry was calling to me. 
I told it "no".
But it was so pittiful and delicious looking. 
So I ate it. 

Half way through, I started crying, feeling like a terrible wife. DH knows they are my favourite, and he got one at work 2 weeks ago, and saved half for me. He always saves half of his delicious treats for me.  
But I ate all of these ones. 
I'm horrible. I need to make it up to him. 
Damn pastries being so inticing...

lurvleybunchococonuts

@babybrain2018 LMAO DED... I am laughing so hard at your pastry plight right.  You're not a bad wife you're growing a human and it IS the pastries fault for being so delicious.  I think you deserve kudos for holding out that long on eating the last one.  If YH asks say that you fed it to your future child so in a sense he got to eat it   Somehow I think he'll forgive you, although if he's anything like MH he will give you hell teasing you about it  

goldfishcraker

@lurvleybunchococonuts haha I'm glad you enjoyed. I laughed so hard reading your reply! I totally am gonna tell him his future child made me do it! Not that he will try to make me feel guilty. He will laugh when I tell him I feel bad, tell me it's not a big deal, and he didn't want it anyway. Which might make it worse haha. He's very patient with me. I'm lucky! He's gonna tease me about feeling bad though!

pelorunningmama

@marfi236 good luck with your house!
@pink_polkadots We ate out a ton this weekend too. DH is going out of town this week and MIL is coming to stay with us. I'm already dreading all the work I'm going to have to do. She is great, but one of her favorite questions is "what can I do to help you prep dinner?" Well considering I planned for us all to eat cereal for dinner, I don't know.
@tessiesmom26 glad he learned his lesson the second time around! 

DH and I tackled the laundry this weekend. It is all washed, just not folded. Every time we do the laundry, I tell myself I will never let it build up that long again. Then somehow two weeks go by and I haven't touched it. There are 4 of us. Two weeks of laundry is an absurd amount. You would think I would learn, but no.

That's 1 per day by my count. Very reasonable.
Your husband leaving them untouched for 4 days...now THATS unreasonable. 

middleschoolmommy

This is more of a rant/WTF but I need to complain. Lol 
Last night we used to facebook marketplace to search for a twin mattress set for the guest bed. Found a set for $50 and set up a pick-up time to get it. We drove 35 minutes to this person's house and they weren't there. This was at 830PM. We waited 45 minutes and they never showed up! They never responded to me last 2 messages! I know they read them, but nothing in response! I didn't get home until after 10PM (my alarm goes off at 4:15 =/) and now I'm dragging at work. REALLY missing coffee ATM!

phoenix870509

@babybrain2018 don't feel guilty. My DH learned with my first pregnancy if it's not eaten within 3 days it's automatically mine. He gets to eat all the good stuff now because half the time I can't even think about food without throwing up, so I figure we are even by the end of the pregnancy.

CopperBoom86

@middleschoolmommy What assholes! I would be pissed. I'm not entirely sure how FB Marketplace works, but can you report them to a mod or something??

tessiesmom26

@middleschoolmommy That's so sucky! I would be pissed too! 

middleschoolmommy

@CopperBoom86 Unfortunately, the only thing I can do is give them a sad face rating lol It's a new feature to the marketplace. I wish I could write and actual review!

CopperBoom86

@middleschoolmommy Hahaha A sad face is so not sufficient!

mockingjay1

It's interesting how you can ask the bump admin to sticky a thread for a week and it doesn't get done but the same day a post gets a hint of snark in it they close it. 

CopperBoom86

@mockingjay1 Right??? 

pink_polkadots

@mockingjay1 I was thinking the same exact thing! 

marfi236

@mockingjay1 I was thinking the same thing!  I noticed it the first time when they closed the Pregnancy test thread the same day someone was trying to get them to sticky it.  I think they are just not stickying it to spite us now.

goldie987

Brofessor Hans Brolo.  I'm blanking on names but whoever said that, I you. 

Eta- TB ate my post

offtoneverland

@mockingjay1 I am just so frustrated that they won't sticky our US thread. Seriously, what is so hard about it? 
@pink_polkadots For some reason, pizza is the only food that sounds so disgusting to me. The thought of pizza has made me want to gag for the past several weeks. I usually love pizza, and MH is not impressed because he wants to go out for pizza!
@lurvleybunchococonuts I've had to start packing so much food in my lunch for work, it's ridiculous.  I was bad today though and I didn't eat my orange, but I did eat my apple!
@vrj0522 What audio book did you listen to that inspired you to get organized? 
@babybrain2018 Yummm pastries! Sounds like the baby needed them. If YH gets sad, you'll have an excuse to buy more pastries! 

ETA: I apologize for my hundreds of posts on all the threads tonight. I don't have access to TB at work so I have to get all my bumping done in just a few short hours after dinner and before bedtime! 

lurvleybunchococonuts

@offtoneverland I preemptively packed extra food today:
Baklava (totally can be considered breakfast, STOP JUDGING ME ), baby carrots, pretzels, chicken with noodles (cause noodle consumption has to be maintained for the noodle test to stay positive, amiright? ), raisin/pecan mix, and a banana.  Oh and there's still some turtle kringle left at work if I'm dying.  Wow... I sound like a heifer  

offtoneverland

@lurvleybunchococonuts If you sound like a heifer than so do I! I packed a cheese stick, chicken and dumplings, popcorn, an apple, a granola bar, a fruit strip, and almonds. Hopefully I don't eat *all* of it before noon.   
Someone brought some delicious chocolate buttercream eggs into work yesterday and I'm hoping I can snag one more today before they're all gone!

It's been awhile since I've been on a BMB...so forgive me if I asked something in the wrong place. I have an u/s on Friday and I'll be 6+2 it seems to be scheduled with the regular u/s "lab" within my doctor's practice - can I assume this will not be with the dildo cam then? I assume an u/s tech wouldn't do a dildo cam, right?

troystory17

@vicioustrollop LOL the dildo cam.  I had an ultrasound at 5w5d and it was in fact the dildo cam.  I have another one today at 7w6d and was wondering the same.

Goodluck to everyone with appointments today! I know there were a few of us.

phoenix870509

@vicioustrollop you're getting the dildo cam. They will not be able to see anything at 6w2d from conventional. The tech tried with me when I was 6w5d and could only see the sack.

Oh so the tech will do the dildo cam?? Thanks for the info! I wasn't sure!

“Dildo cam”

Dying over "dildo cam" hahahaha

I had two 6 week ultrasounds externally and we saw everything just fine.  Heartbeat and all. And I was a little chunky then (much chunkier now ). But it was a big fancy machine at the testing center, not a dr's office, maybe that's the difference? 

CopperBoom86

@goldie987

kecoff01

I have only had one dating scan and it was with my second daughter and I was, I want to say.... 7-8 weeks?  I got the dildo cam, but it was in my doctor's office.  I'm seeing a midwife this time and going to a new office and will be getting a scan at 8 weeks exactly, so I'm hoping external this time.

mockingjay1

@vicioustrollop - odds are very likely it will be a vaginal ultrasound. I think it's rare they do abdominal ultrasounds this early. Speaking as someone who has had 20+ vaginal ultrasounds, it's no big deal and mine have almost all been done by u/s techs.
