Don't worry once we get close to fall holidays it'll all pack on! I gained like 10 pounds easily between thanksgiving and Christmas last pregnancy. Everyone wants to make sure you're eating enough and when you're that far into third tri it feels like there's never enough. Haha

Had our 14 week appointment today and all is perfect! SCH has bled out and baby was wild and crazy. My doctor turned to DS during the appointment and said she thinks he's going to have a baby sister. I ... don't know what to think about that lol. Just gonna wait to get excited until the anatomy scan 9/13.
My son is mad at me right now because I took away the Oreos he took from the pantry. Kid, I ignored it when I saw you take 2 earlier because I’m tired, but you pushed it too far when you took 4 more. And then tried to hide them behind your back as if I didn’t know exactly what you were up to.
I can’t find the thread about announcing at work! Anyway, I just told my boss (after speaking to HR yesterday), and he was totally fine with me taking 6 months off! I told him that I know 6 months is a lot to ask for, and if he’d rather have me quit I would understand, but he said “6 months is a long time, but I’d be an idiot not to have you come back”. Yay!! He’ll hire a temp while I’m gone, either for my position or for the front desk position and have the current front desk person take over my job. It all works out! Such a huge weight off my shoulders!
Taking both kids to the zoo yesterday without DH made me feel so much more ready to have a third than I thought I was. They still didn't listen, but I didn't lose my mind either, so you win some and you lose some.
I read this good, short article from The Atlantic that was published today about the high occurrence of doctors ignoring or dismissing women, especially in terms of reproductive and sexual health. Highly recommend it!
@hannahbananas11 my last OB did that to me. I had labored all night and was throwing up because of the pain, but since I wasn’t dialated he said it would be another 24 hrs and that I should labor at home. I told him I wasn’t leaving (we live an hour from that hospital) so he ordered me to be put on oxytocin. Fortunately the nurse assigned to me did recognize I was in a lot of pain and didn’t do that. Within an hour and a half my water broke on its own and I was fully dialated, and almost went into labor without an epidural. So yeah, listen to your body, and get a doctor that listens to you.
This is the first work HH (we have weekly HH at work with beer, wine, snacks etc) since I found out I am KU that I am kind of sad I can't partake. Pity party for one over here.
Same, I used to have wine or beer almost every Friday/Saturday, which is why I'm surprised I don't miss it more. I guess I did miss it a little during my vacation, some meals just taste better with a nice glass of wine.
@kayjay44@grebretso I'm generally okay without wine but weekend before last my parents were over and we went to a local vineyard for lunch and the wine was so good. I was feeling pretty sorry for myself
I drank on weekdays, week ends, noon on sundays sometimes! I totally miss it!!
Sameeee. Went out for tacos with some work friends tonight and they drank Coronas and I had to excuse myself to pull myself together I was so upset lol. I don’t enjoy feeling drunk, but I looovvveee the ritual of pouring a glass of wine after DS falls asleep. Or having a nice cold beer at the pool.
Welp, I just bought all the maternity clothes I'll ever need. Leggings, tights, pants, camisoles, t-shirts, shirts, dresses. Asos is having a sale. Don't judge.
I hear ya ladies. I liked to have a drink on days that ended in Y. I just got home from a wedding. A Mexican wedding at that. Even kids parties have alcohol. Add GD. Can’t even have tortillas and cake. I did steal a sip out of H’s beer.
I miss wine dearly, see username. Fridays, Saturdays, any days after our DD's bedtime. My H's and my date nights were usually dinner and hanging out at the local winery. I'm missing it like woah, and the long haul of pregnancy and then also monitoring my wine during nursing once this baby gets herelooks bleak as shit.
So I used to be an athlete and in incredible shape. Today, I went for a (slow) walk outside for a few miles for the first time in 7 weeks because I finally don’t feel super nauseous all the time, and right now I can barely move. So that’s my life right now...
I want to jump DH’s bones...I am praying my MIL keeps DS over night so maybe me and DH can have a normal dinner and low key evening that leads to the bed sheet mambo haha
and no we wouldn’t normally wait to do the deed until DS is out of the apt but we have been so exhausted and overworked and DS has been a bed time warrior so we just haven’t had a moment of peace

Weirdly enough I haven't missed alcohol at all so far. Ask me again during the holidays though. Also my birthday! No wine when I turn 30? Boo!
