They’re delicious, even though DS spilled half of the batter on the floor midway through.
I’ve been lurking but not posting much lately because I’m spread super thin with working from home with DS here. But I’m thinking of all of you ladies!
So I decided today to go public with being pregnant on social media.
I decided this because I am super detached to this pregnancy. I realized I'm not celebrating this last baby because I'm so afraid and have been since day 1. I'm hoping being able to share with friends of mine will make it seem more real. Like i know hes real. But Dh got onto me for still calling him and it and not him or his name.

@psychobutthead I get feeling detached, I’ve been feeling that way too. I think mostly because I still have no bump at 17 weeks and have yet to feel anything. Sometimes I don’t even remember I’m pregnant until after my half a cup of coffee in the morning. That’s part of why I stopped lurking and started participating in this group. Looking at my 13 week sonogram helps, I’ve been doing that more lately. I hope sharing your exciting news helps!!
@viola_mama i forget im pregnant too sometimes but i look pregnant. I dont feel him move because where the placenta is. Its hard. I feel bad. I was so excited for my first son.

@psychobutthead I felt detached from my pregnancy up until my A/S. I knew that my bump was getting bigger, but not feeling much of anything at 20 weeks was a little discouraging and I thought something was wrong. But seeing him move around a lot in there was so reassuring. I hope that you sharing your pregnancy brings you a step closer to feeling more attached to your LO.

@psychobutthead Congratulations on going social media public! It is exciting news and a crazy time that I think we all could use a bright spot when it comes! :)
I am looking at the evenflo stroller wagon as our “double” stroller target has them on sale for 70.00 off. It’s so tempting but I also realize baby won’t use it for a long time and it may be worth waiting.
@WishesSheCouldCook is it the one you would have been buying anyway? If so, I mean, why not! I always do that, where I sleep on it and hesitate and then the sale ends. :/ I'm trying to be more proactive and jump on the deals when I see them now.
Where are you guys finding all this energy to clean and organize? Send some my way please!! I’ve just survived my first isolation week at home with the kids and am exhausted by the end of the day. I hate to say it but each night I have this “Ugh I have to do it all over again tomorrow” Groundhog Day feeling. It’s tough because I’m self isolating to be extra cautious as a pregnant lady so we leave the house once a day to go on a short walk (or a drive yesterday since it was pouring rain). It’s still cold here so we are bundling up and it’s not that nice to be outside.
@riatortillaxo Oh I’ve been craving cupcakes or muffins for days now! I might have to make some today...
It's been such a weird week! I'm excited it's the weekend but I've been home all week so it doesn't really feel like a Saturday. My husband will be home though so that will be nice to have an extra set of hands to help with the dogs and the little one. We have the box set of all the Harry Potter movies and I'm hoping we can have somewhat of a marathon this weekend.
@riatortillaxo yeah, super weird. Several people have asked me what I’m doing this weekend and I’m just like “This. This is what I’m doing every day for who knows how long.” The weekend seems like an arbitrary distinction now, except that I won’t be getting messages from people at work all day.
@gomillis It's a weird thing, but in a way I think a lot of it is holding on to a sense of normal. The weekends are "different" and it's so ingrained in us to ask about someone's weekend and how it was different. It's part of our regular polite society vocabulary. It's gonna take some time before those things fade.
I've had a tension headache for about 3 days now.. and I've been avoiding medication for it because I just want to avoid taking unnecessary medicine.. I can't tell if it's the weather with all the pollen hitting us (and I've had our windows open for fresh air and bird noises) or if it's stress settling in. Yesterday I didn't squeak in my workout because I didn't feel up to it and felt guilty about it all day and I still pushed myself to get a lot of chores done, today I'm going to just focus on being chill and relaxing. I feel like maybe if I just let it all go for a day then maybe it will ease up. Right now I cracked the spine on a coloring book my best friend mailed me for my birthday called "Pregnancy Problems." It's full of pretty floral mandalas and patterns with sassy commentary on how it feels to be pregnant. I pulled out my fancy art markers. I think I'm just going to color today away if at all possible. Maybe turn on a live stream of my favorite exhibit at the Georgia Aquarium. I'm sure DD will join me in this and we'll have a good time.
@BusinessWife Sorry I only just saw that post. Yes we do 100% call toilet
paper loo roll . In fact I'd even say as much as 50% of the time. We also
call the toilet the loo and it isn't considered rude. Some people call it the
bog and bog roll but that is considered a bit crass.
@riatortillaxo@gomillis I’m the same! I keep forgetting what day it is, and to be honest, without work, daycare, or any of our daughter’s usual weekend activities (dance, gymnastics)... it doesn’t really matter!!! All that matters to me these days is ... is it sunny or raining? Is it warm enough to get outside for a quick walk? Other than that each day is the same. Feel like I’m caught in the movie Groundhog Day.
Hope everyone is having a good “weekend” (it IS Sunday, right?!)
