Randoms W/o 3/2

Re: Randoms W/o 3/2

  • @ziggymama06 I'm washing my hands more than normal, but I'm not sure I can do much more. It is concerning that the research and evidence on in utero effects are so small and limited to a Chinese study :/  I will try to avoid super congested areas (so I'll avoid going into the city for the time being). I am a little nervous that it's about to be spring break and people will travel for spring break and then bring something back to campus...

  • I would be more concerned about a supply chain disruption due to consumer panic and/or global economic crisis, than the bug itself at this point.  Thank goodness it doesn't seem to be too bad really, comparable to flu it would seem to me in terms of fatalities, and knock wood no fetal harm to preggos.  We just don't know I guess, but not going to lie - I am grateful to be home from work.  I was in customer service, out in the public with foot traffic all day, and sitting down face to face with clients.  Plus DD in daycare.  So from that perspective, the timing couldn't have been better for us to come home.

    I have some normal errands I have been putting off, but delivery is sounding like a great idea right about now! Lol
  • I’m definitely anxious because of all the unknowns about how it affects pregnant women and fetal outcomes. I’m washing my hands like a madwoman and will start working from home if it begins spreading here in Texas. 

    I want to keep a level head, but there’s a constant drum beat of conversation about it in my office because I’m in the travel industry and the virus is going to have a huge impact on our business. 
  • There's not a ton of research yet at this point, but what is coming out is that pregnant women aren't at additional risk for developing the virus and for some reason children have been spared. Someone in the county next to mine has an unconfirmed case (we find out tomorrow morning I guess) and that makes me a little more nervous, but other than hand washing and sanitizing there's not much you can do.  My office just emailed that we will receive more guidance tomorrow on how to deal with the virus at work (likely as a result of the potential case in the region). As a traveling therapist, I can do my part by not bringing toys into homes, alerting families if I'm not feeling well (especially for my medically fragile kiddos), and washing/sanitizing my hands when I enter or leave a location. Which...I was already doing because it's cold/flu season. We have enough cat food to last the month and I'll buy extra rice and nonperishables tomorrow when I go grocery shopping. At this point, I'm more concerned about a 14 day quarantine than I am about actually getting sick.
  • @WishesSheCouldCook i hope you feel better soon.

    @RedBaramid thats great your sister gets to adopt her!

    @rivercitynik i dont think you can have too much on your registry. I only question peoples registrys when they start registering for laundry detergent and special dish soap for infants. As far as inviting friends who can't make it i say invite them anyways. I would feel excluded if i wasnt even if the person thought i wouldn't be able to come. Inviting them doesn't seem gift grabby to me.

    Doctor checked husband. He said he thinks its a cyst And may clear up on its own. But to be safe he wants to get an ultrasound done. So we have to wait until the 17th for that.

    Also husband after we talked texted his sister. He told her everyone was told not to come to our house with out permission and that she had been Told no about the gifts. He told her thanks for the gifts and we appreciate them but we said no for a reason. He also told her a gift doesn't make up for the years of excluding or ignoring our kids.

    Well he told it to her blunt but nice. He didnt bullshit with her. His sister went off. Tried to blame us for her choosing to see our son twice in 5 years. She then went on a rant that she cant afford to buy my daughter a gift for every year shes missed. We never told her to. We just said no to a gift for our son because its not equal. She then went on the say shes not going to pay for shipping and she will drop off whatever she wants. Hahaha the husband blocked her at that point.

    If we tell you to not come to our home without permission you have 0 right at all to just show up.
    So shes blocked now. I was really surprised he had enough to block her. She was lying right to him about events he was around for. It was really strange.

    And I'm sick again. So is my son. Pretty sure we caught colds again.

    As far as coronavirus goes people are panicking here. My walmart is sold out of lysol in almost all forms, hand soap, and bleach, also no hand sanitizer either. They are even out of cans of chicken noodle soup. I'm trying to stay hyrdrated but being sick for the second time in like 2 weeks I've lost 7 pounds.

  • Re: accountant, yea, I'm glad we have them to tell us what more we need. We sent them a spreadsheet with the various types of business expenses we had, so what I'm hoping is we gave them enough info. I'm worried they won't know how to classify stuff (is this a consumable supply, inventory, stuff purchased specifically for a customer and immediately refunded by them) because we didn't know what all they needed so we would have to go through all our receipts again. 

    We had a hard time classifying stuff in TurboTax because all their business stuff and examples fall under a stereotypical office business with examples like copy paper and ink and desk chairs. And our business is not that, so it was hard to figure out where we put stuff. 

    I'm always in tears during taxes. Not so far this time!
  • Can anyone explain the toilet paper thing to me? I kind of understand that cleaning, cold and flu, and immune-boosting products would get bought, but toilet paper? I don't get it! It doesn't cause diarrhea as far as I know!
  • @coldlife just extra toilet paper on hand as an essential item that if you couldn't leave home for 2 weeks you wouldn't want to run out of. I mean, I'm sure we could make due without it, right? But it's not something you'd want to do, especially if you were sick (even if you were only mildly sick).

    I'm happy to see the married couples are still together.
    I'm gladd Jennifer called Jessica out on her bullshit tbh.
    Also I'm sad to see the one couple didnt get married. I cant remember their names but they are a white couple and they seemed perfect together. 
    I'm surprised Damian and Gihanna prob spelled that wrong are still dating. 
    I am wondering if Carlton was edited to look like the bad guy? I feel bad him and diamond have gotten death threats. But I feel like him being bisexual should have came up in the pods. One of the first questions he could have asked on each pod date was "what is your stance on lgbtq rights?" If they said they don't support it he could have said to no to more dates. If they said they did he could have asked for questions on the dates and finally told his potential partners.
    I know I have always asked men their stances on it because my sister is gay and I wont be with someone that is against supporting lgbtq.  And I have always asked what if my daughter was and if they are against that possibility I wouldnt date them anymore. But thats just me. Thoughts???

  • I completely agree that Carlton should have been honest about his sexuality from the start! Him and diamond seemed like Such a great fit! I’m sure she would’ve came around to it without feeling - tricked into it? 

    I was more shocked that Kenny and Kelly hadn’t had sex or that she felt she didn’t have that chemistry? I’m pretty sure I could see the chemistry just watching lol From that moment I just had a feeling it was all for show at that point. Along with Jessica. Alll for show. I feel bad for Mark - he should’ve been able to make a real connection. I feel like Jessica used him as a rebound to Barnett’s rejection. As for Barnett and Amber... I predict a nasty divorce. 
    I’m sooo happy for Cameron and his wife! (I forget her name) they ooze love and it’s so sweet!! 
  • @charhar0820 I agree about carlton he should have told her right away 

    I think kelly is gonna end up alone. She friend zones all men. She isnt going to find a story book romance.

    I felt bad for mark. Jessica wasted his time and she was totally using him as a rebound. I so agree about a furture divorce for Barnett and Amber. 

    I can't wait for a season two. I'm curious why nich lachey and his wife are the hosts. Him being a cheater is all i think of when they are on.

  • @riatortillaxo that sounds amazing! Happy Friday!

  • @ziggymama06 so exciting!!! 🎉

    I've actually been a bit nervous, because I thought I was feeling a lot more already, and then things seem to have quieted down in there... :/ My next apt can't come soon enough!
  • @wife-and-mommy I'm also worried about daylight savings. For my own selfish reasons, I do not want to lose an hour of sleep and I'm also dreading the effect it will have on my little one.
  • @BusinessWife Same here! That's why I decided to use my doppler the other night. Then, of course, the next night I was feeling little movements again. I should've just been patient. :#
  • I'm glad it put your mind at ease tho ❤️@lachnessmomster Anything I feel these days is either super subtle, or full on cervix stabs. :/ I'm like, uhhh, are you really doing that baby? or is that my body being weird!???
  • @BusinessWife I feel movements so sporadically I cant predict them. This kid is all about being difficult. It's just super irregular now. I cant wait till later on when I will be begging for lesser movements, lol. 
  • @BusinessWife Thanks!  Aww, I bet your baby is just being difficult...  Hoping you feel some movements soon. When is your next appt?

  • @wildrainbow right?  What a fun problem to have!

    @ziggymama06 Next Wednesday, they will be doing a scan to check cervical length sonim all 🤷 Maybe we just check the HB at that point too, while we're at it... 👍
  • @ziggymama06 that’s so exciting! I’m patiently waiting for feel something but I know it could be weeks off. I had a quick appt today and they checked the heart on the Doppler and the midwife could hear the baby moving around but I couldn’t feel anything!

    @BusinessWife im sorry you’re feeling anxious! Jw.. is it normal to get cervical length checked at some point? Ftm clueless about everything over here... 
  • @fitandnerdy YGPM
  • Wooo, what a catch up. Ive been trying to be focused on what I’m doing and leaving my phone put away (thanks to @BusinessWife and lent). Which means I’m sooooo far behind here.

    @BusinessWife I was expecting to feel more by now, too. So I am suspecting this pregnancy is also an anterior placenta which dampens the feelings. We’ll see on the 20th if I’m right. I had it with my daughter and it feels very much the same as her vs my son. 
  • @BusinessWife I'm glad you are going in on Wednesday so only a few more days.  Since I'm switching practices to the MWs, is that a normal procedure at the 16w appt?  I was just assuming they would listen to the doppler and chat with me?  Like @fitandnerdy I have no clue what to expect.

    @fitandnerdy Glad you had a good appt today and got to hear baby's HB!   <3

  • I've been feeling the baby quite a bit but I felt both my babies very early. DH acctualy felt them the other day too when they must have done a back flip or something because that movement was huge. Other days I haven't felt much but at this point they still have a lot of room to hide in.

    @BusinessWife Have you heard of Lovevery they have a montessori toy subscription service. I think it's not worth the money for the subscription but they are good for ideas of what kinds of toys to get at each age range.
