My FIL is making some good improvements. They are currently trying to ween him off sedation meds. He did good this morning when they started, but then he started fighting the machines and worked himself into a tizzy, so they had to sedate him again. Still so many things up in the air, but the progress is making us hopeful he pulls through.
Ugh, nothing beats waking up for a middle of the night pee, to get back in bed, almost be back asleep, and lose power because of a huge storm. Oh the joys of living on a tiny island in the middle of the pacific 😂
It’s so weird how peeing at night is a pregnancy thing. I NEVER usually wake up at night pre-pregnancy, but it seems I am up twice a night to empty a full bladder!
Uhh the night pees are the worst - I find myself trying to go several times before I get into bed for the night because I am trying to avoid getting up later... never works.
Oof DH just got a call from his doc saying his cholesterol is high... I generally consider us healthy eaters so I'm a little perplexed and a bit worried!!
Totally agree about the night peeing. It sucks so much!
@canucklehead123 cholesterol can be a super genetic related thing. Some people could be the healthiest eaters in the world but still end up with high cholesterol. Luckily the meds that are used to treat it are usually super effective so there’s no need to worry a ton about it
@canucklehead123 I have genetically high cholesterol but my good cholesterol is high too so it balances out. We keep an eye on it, I wouldn’t be surprised if eventually I need to be on medication. I do small things like buy cholesterol free creamer or use oat milk, etc
The staff at our middle school did a wall of gratitude then made an individual list for each employee with what their colleagues said about them. I just got mine and totally cried reading the wonderful things people said about me and my food services department. 😭😭😭 My job is so damn stressful but I work with some of the best people. ❤️
Today was pure insanity. H and I caught and sold 5 pigs, butchered 2 roosters, cleaned half our house, did a grocery store run, and started repairing a good portion of a fence. So exhausted. 😴😴

we told the family today. Was very surprised that both my mom and MIL reacted positively. They were both excited. So relieved, I was stressing out so hard over telling the family.
Yeah, I definitely think the doc’s office has my due date wrong (7/8) and the nurse must have misheard my LMP. Sucks to move my due date back a week (7/16), but I hit 7 weeks yesterday by my calculations and the nausea has kicked in full force today. No vomiting yet, thank God!
We go out and cut our own Christmas tree every year. H is leaving in a few days and won't be back until Christmas, it's gross and rainy out, and I'm sick as a dog so it's just not happening this year. We ended up buying a pre cut one from the Christmas tree farm we usually go to. H just brought it home and it's a beautiful tree but I totally cried. This year man... 😭😭

@pharmd93 I watched one of the Elf on the Shelf movies on Netflix with my kids yesterday. I cried during it because the mom wasn’t going to make it home for Christmas - even though you knew at the end Santa was going to work some magic and she would be home. Add me to the crying over everything club.
I almost bursted into tears last night because my son gave me a kiss on the cheek before I could kiss him goodnight (which I do every night). It was so sweet and unexpected. So add me to the club and I’m not usually an emotional person at all.
Our main trash can officially lives in the garage it’s a few feet away from my work station in the kitchen at home (thanks covid) and I cannot tolerate the smell. DH even took the trash out before he left this morning and I still can’t tolerate it
@nopegoat we got a pre-cut this year too and it just WAS NOT THE SAME, my DH is like it's fine and I'm like no we are never doing this again, I have no family picture of us getting the tree. Garbage ha

The base clinic finally just called with the results and my pregnancy is officially confirmed! For those of you non-military, dealing with military healthcare can be a giant pain in the ass. I took the test last Friday and didn’t get a call back until I sent them a message today.
Hi! Idk if anyone noticed 😂 but I haven’t been around much since I got a ton of orders over small business Saturday and have just been working on those and mom-ing. I also finally got all the bajillion appointments set up for my kids that they need. It’s been a productive but tiring week!
I’m so miserable right now. I’m nauseous but nothing helps I’m also absolutely EXHAUSTED. Both apps I use said that 9-13 weeks are the worst as far as symptoms and it is dead on for me. I started feeling awful yesterday which is when I turned 9w
@canucklehead123 what kinds of things do you guys like? I’ve been on a pasta kick lately so we’ve had spaghetti, tortellini with Alfredo sauce (this one didn’t sit well) and lasagna this week so far 😂 2 of my nephews are visiting with my daughter this weekend so we are doing pizza tonight and decorating Christmas cookies for dessert (and something to keep them occupied for a while).
@canucklehead123 my kids like when I make tacos, Shepherd's pie, chicken pot pie, nuggets. I can pass on a recipe if theres something you think your kids might like. Also, my kids dont eat cooked veggies so I always have a fruit and veggie platter out.
@tiggywiggles those are all my staples too 😂 @daisy528 those noddles look delish, I’ll definitely be trying! @Beckyf321 i always forget about baked potatoes!!! Next week I’m definitely doing that!
Thanks all for the suggestions - I ended up buying pork chops for the first time in a long time, a pizza kit, felafel for a Greek night and some tortellini!

@daisy528 oy the peeing
idk if it’s the Zoloft or pregnancy or both but I am sick of waking up drenched in sweat. It’s so gross. I go to bed freezing and wake up disgusting.
