What’s on your mind this week?

Working from home, DS and H are home so I moved upstairs to my bedroom. 100% chance I fall asleep 

birdiejo

I love the Ali Wong Netflix specials.

@moguippy --hope you had a lovely nap! I had two before noon today. They were excellent.

I'm visiting my parents and sisters for the week, a blissful break from the stressful last few weeks of grad school. Not looking forward to the return to reality, but that is next week's problem. 

WildMagelet

I'm hyped up about a short work week, getting to see my best friend for the first time in 3.5 months (boo COVID), and sending a TON of sticky baby vibes to my brother and SIL who are going through their first round of IVF next month!  I'm 100% down for sharing pregnancy time with my SIL and having cousins super close in age.  We can baby-geek out together and commiserate when necessary.  My cousin and I that were 3.5 months apart have been close our whole lives.

All the strawberries I bought Thursday got mold over the weekend 🤬 And I wanted to make strawberry tea today. And the chips I’m currently eating are kinda stale but I’m too lazy to get up. 

szwill86

@mdfarmchick ugh, the worst! I got those blue apple things for my fruit/veggie drawers and that seemed to help my strawberries last about a week before they started to get soft. 

WildMagelet

@mdfarmchick - and now I want strawberries.  Maybe we'll plan on having shortcake this weekend

PSA: Floor is Lava (on Netflix) is good brainless tv if you can’t sleep. Though now I want to turn my living room into an obstacle course...

Was thoroughly grossed out this morning and almost puked for reasons entirely unrelated to pregnancy: got a McChicken Biscuit from McDonald’s for breakfast this morning and there was a very tiny BONE in (what became) my last bite. Had to spit it into the wrapper.

Trying to recover now so that I can choke down my prenatal, which also makes me wanna puke. What a fun morning.

Has anyone ever had dental work while pregnant? My filling just broke and of course because of covid they can’t get me in for a full week!

mdfarmchick

@vizsladogmom oh no! That sucks. 

BourbonBiscuits

@vizsladogmom NOOOO omg no. That is my nightmare. 

moguippy

Had to put on fancy clothes for the first time in months to go to a wake. I just went straight for the pair of “fat pants”. Didn’t even try to put on a pair of my regular nice pants.

@babymamadimo
I work in dentistry and we routinely do care on pregnant women. 2nd trimester is the best time but if it's an urgent case it is ok to do it anytime. And definitely still get your teeth cleaned while pregnant! Good luck and sorry your filling broke. 

babymamadimo

@RoseTyler72 thank you! Luckily it isn’t bothering me yet, but I go in on Tuesday to have it checked. Maybe I can have them schedule me out a few weeks for the 2nd trimester.

hannahbananas11

@babymamadimo I would definitely try to get in during second trimester if you can. Brushing my teeth makes me gag during the first tri, so I can’t imagine how nauseating a dental procedure would be... 😬

babymamadimo

@hannahbananas11 lol such a good point...I gag every morning

moguippy

I just ate half a jar of pickles... and I still want more

mdfarmchick

This whole stupid state that I live in is under the misconception that everyone here wants spicy McChickens from McDonald’s. I do not. I want a regular one. And I keep seeing commercials for the stupid spicy one and it just makes me want a regular McChicken even more. 😣

birdiejo

Now I want pickles but I bought these pickles from Costco that taste off to me and I just need like some good ass pickles. Damn it! 

I’m having a food moment... that’s lasted for a week.

WildMagelet

@moguippy - I've abandoned all hope of wearing normal pants right now.  It's fat pants or no pants.

KLS123

@WildMagelet @moguippy if it doesn't have an elastic waistband then it's not getting anywhere near my body rn.

Cats*in*space

@WildMagelet @moguippy @KLS123 I have definitely already dipped into my maternity pants.  Those inset style ones are perfect for this stage.  This is my second pregnancy and I compared photos - at 8 weeks I'm as big as I was at 12 weeks last time. 

Yiggle09

@Cats*in*space I'm there with you but I gave all my maternity stuff away! I'll be hitting up target and kohls monday.
