@BarefootContessa wow. That's terrible. I'm sorry @harveyisaboysname I'm sorry about your partner's job. It sounds like he needs some career counseling for a pep talk. It's one thing to be loyal, but I hope he knows his worth! My DH is the same. I feel he's underpaid, but he works for a very understanding, family friendly business, so it's worth it for now.
I had an OB appointment today. I thought it would just be paperwork (like my first pregnancy), but they transitioned away from that set-up 6 months ago. So I actually had an ultrasound and DH had to miss it. Sorry hubs My EDD is now May 4th, but I'm gonna stick around here. I imagine if I have a c-section it will be scheduled for end of April anyway. I lost almost a week though. I was so excited to be past 8 weeks, and now I'm back at 7+3. oh well. Time marches on.
I just updated my signature because I realized all the dates were way wrong. Like my BFP was 2 years and a day off. My due date had already passed. And it's not leftover from last pregnancy. I actually attempted to update it for this new one. Pregnancy brain already
I actually made it full grocery shopping today!! Like with a list with more than 3 items lol. And I didn't gag at the food :-). Woohoo, seems like 10wks is the tipping point for me (fingers crossed!). I'm still getting pretty nauseous occasionally throughout the day, but there are hours of relief. I am so worn out after shopping though (especially my legs, I feel like I ran a marathon, not slowly walked around WinCo lol)) that I put away the fridge/frozen and will ask my DH to put away the rest when he gets home.
@thatbaintforbetty Haha. Welcome to your new pregnancy week! Only 31(?) voms to go. When I vomit and when I feel nauseated don't seem to be correlated. Add it to the WTF pregnancy train.
Wow, it seems like everyone is really having a difficult week. I hope the rest of the week brings good news or at least some peace and calm for all of you! Hugs to @professormama@harveyisaboysname@kyashley1227@roo1381 and anyone else struggling this week.
@thatbaintforbetty Just did that this morning, 4am for me. I've never had trouble sleeping before, so this is unusual. Hoping for a nap this afternoon, I've called off most of today.
The May intro board is still having more drama than us, why are we all so normal over here in April?
So I worked from home (with my manager's blessing) Monday and Tuesday since DS couldn't go to DC. I have these daily status report meetings with this other woman in my department who is always SO RUDE to me when I come back from WFH days. She was so short this morning and would barely look at me. Granted, I am the youngest in my department by about 25 years and use my WFH more often than the other people, but I never do it without my manager's approval and I don't do it just for fun. Yesterday I worked from 6:30am till 10:00pm off and on. I know she thinks it's a cop out but I bust my ass days I work from home to prove that I'm NOT taking advantage of the system. So frustrating to come in and have her act like I'm shirking my responsibilities. Man she is gonna be PISSED when she finds out I'm KU and will be out on mat leave for 3-4 months.
@BarefootContessa, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine.
@MRDCle, that woman can go suck it. I hate people who assume just because we're younger or working from home that we're typical millenials and screwing off. I work my butt off for my job, even though most people would think it's a rather silly side job - it's my passion and I give it my all. Luckily my boss is super understanding about family taking precedence, so that's never been an issue.
Also, wth May '19? That was a crazy ten minute read....
@BarefootContessa I’m so sorry. Hoping for comfort and healing for your family
@harveyisaboysname I hope your husband finds another job really quickly!
@MRDCle I can’t believe some people are so uptight about work from home. Working from home is great and all companies should embrace it.
sounds like there are lots of rough weeks going on right now. I ended up in bed by 8pm last night, though I stayed up awhile zoning out and watching TV. Working from home awhile this morning trying to recover from the last few days, which have been really exhausting and stressful.
Holy shitballs @BarefootContessa I'm so sorry. That's a lot to process. Lots of hugs.
@harveyisaboysname I ditto whoever suggested applying for medicaid. That will at least help with healthcare costs and you should get approved after losing a job. Hopefully DH finds a new job soon.
OK guys, thanks for the May19 recommendation. That was entertaining. I am not going to lie, I really wish we had some crazies up in here. I guess we have time for them to come out of the woodwork.
I went to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando last night with my H and son. We had a blast, but walking around a theme park for 7 hours, with 85% humidity, and stinky humans is nauseating. I alternated between starving and sick the entire time. The haunted houses were on point though. Worth it.
@cabearit - are you from Orlando? I live in Orlando we were at Halloween Horror Nights on Friday. It was SOO hot but its always fun.

Not gonna lie but I read that entire crazy ass introduction in the may group with a jamaican accent, and I was sort of able to piece together that there were a bunch of dudes and a dog and lots of emergency rooms.. holy. Please god let this group stay normal and nice because wow.
I just need to vent for a sec.. cause I’m peeved. I left a really good and stable job for what I thought was going to be my dream job one week before getting my BFP. Since I’ve been here (two months) I have learned what a mistake I made. Management treats their employees terribly, the employees blame their coworkers for things instead of owning up, and I am thrown under he bus at least daily for projects I didn’t even know I had. I was hired under the impression that I would be training for a specific position and have since been told “that position is no longer needed” so I’m just picking up busy work and dealing with the crap no one wants. IM SO ANNOYED. Sometimes, people really suck 😔
@b9315 that sucks so bad.. I've been there too, I turned down a good steady Montessori teaching position for a full time nanny job for a family who had lost the nanny that had been with their family for years. It was closer and pay was better and after a week the old Nanny came back and demanded they fire me so they did because they "felt guilty".. not a week after that she took a whole week of vacation off. Now I nanny part time on the days she doesn't feel like showing up and look for something else. It's not your fault that people suck, and I hope you can find another better job soon, not being appreciated is the worst.
@b9315 I am so sorry. Any chance you could reach out to previous employer? I feel like you described my workplace. This happened to someone who was hired in on my team. Within two weeks they pulled her and put her on another team. She is furious and is performing no duties for the job she applied.
I just got an email about Paw Patrol Live being in town 3/8-3/10 and almost cried because I don't know if we'll be able to take DS and he loved it so much this past year. I think I should go home soon.
Anyone else here supposed to be wearing a retainer at night? I haven’t worn mine for about a month because I was getting major dry heaves from it and now I’m afraid that my teeth have gone wonky. (Haven’t actually tried yet because looking at it still makes me feel yucky).
My kid needs to go the f to sleep so DH and I can do, um, anything. Baby wrangling while negotiating a real estate deal is virtually impossible and we’ve been doing it all day because she only took a twenty minute nap. We’re both on the verge of yelling at the baby. And meanwhile FIL is in dementia land.
Who wants to provide baby and elder care for a week so we can get our lives organized?
@suchagoodone, I wear one at night and have definitely skipped a few more days than normal. I usually wear it six nights, skip one, but last time I was at the dentist they said I could probably wear it less than that. Which is a good thing cause I've been skipping two or three nights a week just because my mouth has such a bad taste in it....
My sister and I have been pregnant together which has been really fun. I'm 11 weeks, she was 20. She went in for her gender ultrasound and the baby had no heartbeat. The baby had been healthy the whole pregnancy and the heartbeat was strong 2 weeks prior. So it was a shock, devastating. She was induced this week and gave birth to a boy. They have two girls and really wanted a boy. It's just so sad.
My question is, what can I do for her? I've brought her meals and keep letting her know I'm thinking about her. I know there's nothing I can say. Just wondering if anyone has had experience with this and what was helpful. It's also uncomfortable still being pregnant when she's not.
