My sons preschool held their Winter Festival today. It was so cute and fun! They use to do fall festival, but being outside in 90° in FL wasn’t fun. So they changed it to winter and it was only 75° today 😂. Both boys had a great time though and were wiped afterwards.
Im getting some energy back and decided to tackle decluttering and cleaning the master bedroom today. Losing energy now though, so maybe it won’t all get done today. At least it’s a start!
Add me to the sick club too! I took a mucinex because it was on the list of approved meds from my doc but then after I took looked on google and it said only 2nd and 3rd tri. I'm still a week/week and a half away from that so I'm hoping I didn't do anything stupid.
@meandlittleb I didn't journal a pregnancy, but I love Polka Dot Print Shop for baby books and toddler books and they also have a bump/pregnancy one!
We have been on a livestock buying freeze until we fix a few pens (it's been killing me because I want all the things) but H stopped by a swap today picked up these two beauties because our Lenny needed a couple of girls.
Everyone meet our new guineas, Polka and Dot.

MH may not see tomorrow. Instead of any sympathy about being sick, he’s angry that I’m grumpy and don’t feel like doing much. I’m gonna kick him in the teeth.
@indulgentgypsy excited for you during you new home buying adventure!
@motherofdogs and @wineandcoffee I will be starting the Makena shots at 16 weeks too. I think February 4th. I had my DD at 36 weeks. I her the subcutaneous pen isn’t so bad. I think they’re sending a nursing service to my house weekly?
@Happyin14 The other day, I puked, which obviously sucked, and I announced I don't like puking, and then later I sneezed, which hurt my whole body because muscles/ligaments are moving around, etc., and I announced I don't like sneezing. My husband's response? "You don't like puking, you don't like sneezing, what DO you like?" I almost threw things at his head...
@greeneyedgirl12, that made me laugh because of how ridiculous it is! I really, really wish I could somehow get him to feel like we do. Or at least friggin google something.
@Happyin14 Overall he's been great, and he was kidding, but yeah, definitely almost threw things at him...
His other bad (and less sarcastic/he actually meant it at the time) one was before X-mas, we were discussing what we were getting each other (we went smaller, because I'm probably going to need a mom/new car), and I went and puked (central theme to my past 9 weeks) and came back and was feeling utterly shitty and shortly thereafter he said he was "getting me a human." Nope. Nonononononononononope.
@leendenny sending someone?! Jealous. Mom hoping for the pen too but I have to do it myself... she said worst case I go in and they will do it for me. Can I be nosy and ask how your pregnancy with DD was? Any labor before that or anything?
I'm still very much feeling like it's blump more than bump, but the blump is more pronounced on one side/my stomach is slightly uneven/LO appears to be picking a side. Anyone else?
@greeneyedgirl12 I haven't noticed it visually, but I've felt a hard lump on my left side of the uterus a few times when palpating around and it vanishes after pressing for more than a moment. Coincidentally, that's the only area where I pickup a HB with the doppler too, so I just assume LO is chilling over there.
I’m so sick of the cold. It makes me gag. I have to travel for work the next two days and waiting for the shuttle this morning at the car lot was torture. It’s about 18° right now. I’m also super anxious I’m going to be found out this week. Or that I’m going to feel guilty about it and rat myself out. Ugh. I’ve been in an interim roles for almost a year now and I’m really hoping they will make it permanent, but I Feel like if they find out, they will postpone the promotion until after I’m back from maternity leave. Ugh. So much anxiety. I cried myself to sleep last night. Also, having to wake up at 3:30 am isn’t fun. Fingers are crossed for a chill day. And that I survive east coast time. I wake up at like 8am mountain time, so Eastern time is always hard on me.
@hakele sounds like a lot of anxiety. I hope you find a way to relax. Of course legally they can’t postpone a promotion but I know the fear is real. Remember most of the time it’s our own insecurity actions which give us away. Try not to over analyze yourself and I think you’ll do great! I hope your flight(s) is uneventful.
Totally had a dream this baby was a boy. Now I'm dying to know for real for real. So I just sent my H a link to an elective ultrasound place. Ugh. I have a problem lol.

@indulgentgypsy - Thank you so much for sharing your experience as a teacher. I'm actually in the process of going back to school to swap careers to become a teacher, and this is one of my biggest concerns! Many years ago, I worked for a youth development organization. I had a mixture of extremely high income kids who had overly involved parents and low income kids whose parents were absent (many just struggling to do the best they could with limited resources). At that time, I actually decided against being a teacher, just because I was flat out traumatized by the overly involved parents. They were AWFUL! I don't know how you do it! On the flip side, I actually LOVED working with the low income kids and parents. Of course there were more behavioral issues with the kids, but as long as I showed them love and respect it felt like they appreciated me at the end of the day (or year at least. haha!). Now that I'm doing this mid-career swap, I'm hoping I can get a job as a middle or high school history teacher in a lower income school. Do you think the "parents telling me how to do my job" aspect will be minimalized there, compared to say... where you are? haha. I am fine with constructive criticism from people who know what they are talking about, but criticism from people who do not just drives me insane!
@cindler we will start moving some stuff probably this weekend. For the big move I'm not sure.
@strickland8052 well.... so I'm dual certified in History and SPED. History positions are hard to come by. My 1st 3 years teaching I taught history in a charter school where I had more or less free reign over my curriculum and parents LOVED me. Hands on, lots of projects, fun lectures...
In Alaska I have been teaching SPED, low low low low low income levels, subsistence villages and homesteader areas. Parent involvement both placement did not seem to correlate to income or socioeconomic status at all. I've had parents that thought I hung the moon and stars and parents that think I'm the devil. It's really more for me what the administration will let me do or get involved in.

@indulgentgypsy So excited for you! FX that everything moves along smoothly!

Ugh I have a d*mn pimple in my ear .
