    6. First appointment was today.
    7. My awesome nurse scheduled my whole pregnancy out so that I can have all 4:15 appointments. 
    8. This means I have to take 0 days off work=More paid days of mat. leave!
    9. First US is not until Sept 4 though :(
    10. I forgot how much blood they take from you when you are pregnant. 

    1. Popsicles are amazing 
    2. DH has been awesome helping with DS in the mornings
    3. My house is a mess
    4. I skipped book club this week because I hate secrets (not telling people until we’re past 12 weeks)

    4. She asked me to be the maid of honor... yesterday...
    5. I was promised a lobster for my trouble, lol
    6. First midwife appointment tomorrow.

    10. Eating in bed is MH’s pet peeve, but he’s not home so I am doing to it anyway! 
  • @maggiemadeit You better get a lobster for that! Also sad about your garden possibly dying. We let our flower garden/pots die this year due to so many water restrictions. My veggie garden was more important to me but I am still sad about it. I may not do any flowers at all nest year. 

    @purpleteacher82 I hope your nausea lifts before school starts. My coworker had nausea her whole 9 months at work and I felt so bad for her. She looked like a walking zombie at work. 
  • 1. The skirt I wore today totally shows where I'm already bloated...or is it just me?
    2. The leftover grilled chicken in my salad today was nasty.
    3. I think I'm going to have a chicken aversion...again.
    4. My mom is driving me nuts planning my soon-to-be SIL's wedding shower.
    5. I want to tell her to buck up and get shit done, if she only knew what I've got going on!
    6. I hope my bridesmaid dress will fit in October.
    7. It's going to suck not drinking at this wedding.
    8. I really am not sure when to tell everyone about this baby.
    9. I think I've gotten more done at work today than most of last week.
    10. I wish I had the energy to do housework after 8pm.

  • @maggiemadeit if you have any bottles (wine bottles are perfect, but you may well be short on those right now  ;) ) you can fill them up with water, cover the top with cling wrap and foil, tape those firmly at the neck of the bottle, then poke a hole through the top. Stick them top down into your pots and it will water your plants for a few days! Saved my flowers during our week long vaca!
  • 1. I ate pizza for lunch instead of the salad I packed. 
    2. I don't regret that decision at all. 
    3. I ordered my Belli oil and lotion this morning since I feel like I'm going to be showing any day now.
    4. I also ordered some maternity clothes this morning.
    5. I need to hide this blump at work for at least 3 more weeks.
    6. This pregnancy is flying by. 
    7. I'm only in the office 4 days of the next 2 weeks.
    8. My first day back in the office I'll be late because I'll be at my 12 week appointment.  :p
    9. Cooking is such a chore these days.
    10. I'll be eating leftovers or pasta for the foreseeable future.

  • 1. Cutting back on coffee is hard.
    2. My attitude is shit today.

    10. The bloat is real today.

    3. I thought about napping in the foam pit during lunch today! 
    4. Just learned the new swing we got at work is known to cause birth defects in the state of California, I won't be using that swing with my kiddos again!

    6. I can't wait for my next appointment and to see/hear the baby because I'm a nervous wreck. 
    7. I have no energy to do anything after work! My poor husband has been so busy with work and he's getting very little sleep, but he still does most house work now. 
    8. I want to run, but I'm so tired! 
    9. My boobs are so, so sore! 
    10. Our wedding anniversary is on Monday!!! 
  • @emarcinek99 what kind of swing causes birth defects? Did I read that right?

  • 1. I’m exhausted all the time.
    2. I just ate a handful of skittles and now I feel like I’m going to puke.
    3. My husband’s out of town relatives are staying with us this weekend.
    4. There’s way too many of them.
    5. My SIL + fam are also staying with us because apparently 1.5 hours is too far to not make it an overnight visit.
    6. That means 12 people are staying overnight on Friday and Saturday.
    7. @JLaVO888 My dog has gotten sprayed by a skunk twice now. It’s the worst!
    8. I ordered curtains from West Elm and they’re being delivered tomorrow. I’m excited.
    9. I want this humidity to end
    10. I met with my new OB yesterday for my first appointment and I really like her.
  • @bluebelle08, WORD! coffee IS hard to cut out! :s  I think the most I can cut down to is half caf. 

    1. just poured all my deepest darkest thoughts for the entire internet, and I surprisingly already feel lighter.
    2. my son is driving me CRAZY scratching himself bloody. 
    3. hoping my husband doesn't try to have sex tonight
    4. need to get back in the cooking game. I haven't cooked shit in about 2 weeks.
    5. need to find safe exercise for this pregnancy. I was committed to body boss method for the last 3+ months, but stopped once I got my positive. bummed I had to give it up, and swimming is tough b/c the two closest YMCAs don't have convenient lap swim hours. open swim is a nightmare.
    6. definitely not happy w/ my starting weight this time around.
    7. grateful for my lack of morning sickness (so far).
    8. can't wait to slide into all things maternity wear :D 
    9. trying really hard to convince my 3yr old to share a shower w/ me so I don't have to bathe him.
    10. I'm losing the argument. 
  • @JLaVO888 I’m so jealous of you having all your appointments scheduled so late! It’s actually on my “things to do” to talk to the office on Thursday at my US appointment about my next visit it’s at 3:00 that’s not going to work for me all school year. Maybe I’ll ask if I can do that! 

    @purpleteacher82 I go to my classroom for the first time since May tomorrow... ugh! My mom and DS are coming with me so I have no idea how “productive” I’ll actually be. 
  • @ashley14598 My nurse’s kids go to my school so she is supper accommodating! I love her for it. She did the same for DD!

    @flyingmombula
    Lol, it's likely something about the materials they use to make the swing, probably that it sends out some kind of off-gas or something. I'm sure it's just silly, but since I'm a paranoid pregnant person, I will stay off of it! I think California puts that warning on most things made of plastic. I'm sure I sound like a looney person for saying that, but that was what the warning said and I'm not taking any chances! 
  • 1. I'm always hungry but nothing sounds good
    2. I'm sick of all the shots from IVF and I hope I can stop them soon.
    3. My cat had surgery last week and she has been super snuggly and sweet.
    4. Today is my dad's birthday
    5. All of my shorts and pants are tight already!
    6. I could watch Friends all day every day
    7. I'm sad summer is coming to an end
    8. I haven't cooked dinner in 2 weeks because my morning sickness is horrible!
    9. I want to see Christopher Robin this weekend but I'm afraid I will cry. I loved the Winnie the Pooh as a kid.
    10. Chapstick is life!



  • @teachermama4 Christopher Robin looks sooo good! But also worried I would need 5 boxes of Kleenex. 
  • @purpleteacher82 Ha! I just declared to my husband that eating in bed will be the new normal.

    1. I am supposed to wear a corset later this week because I am a Historical renactor.
    2. I don’t think that’s going to work.
    3. my husband wants to go to a comedy show this weekend, I want to go but also don’t want to get out of bed.
    4. My dogs have found the cat’s hiding place and it’s super annoying.
    5. I miss coffee. A lot
    6. I miss alcohol a little bit more.
    7. I’ve been binge watching mistresses on Hulu. 
    8. It’s awful garbage and exactly what the doctor ordered
    9. I’ve been home all day for the last three days but can’t manage to do dishes.
    10. Luckily my husband gets how miserable I am and isn’t holding any of this against me!
