Well all...I got cocky today. Lately, I've only been able to brush my teeth for a max of 30 seconds... Today, I was feeling great and went a WHOLE MINUTE. That's a new personal record during this pregnancy, BUT I couldn't even make it to the toilet and threw up my breakfast in the sink. Yay.
@brittanynmorris I rarely gag brushing my teeth. This morning was a whole new experience. Oof. Sorry you yuked in the sink.
@mdfarmchick I'm very particular about my chocolate chip cookies. They have to be my mom's recipe (which is actually the recipe on the back of the Nestlé Tollhouse semisweet chocolate chips bag) and they have to be soft. Snickerdoodles just sounded cozy last night lol
is anyone else having aversions to more then food? all the stuff I used to love I can't get interested in. I love to read but can't concentrate, my favorite podcast is annoying me. I hope its just first trimester irritability. I'm not depressed just can't find .... contentment ?
@Katek819 I've been finding that sensory overload increases the "ick" feeling. So I may be feeling fine if I'm sitting in a chair, but if my loud kids get up in my face and start climbing on me and yelling (their normal talk voice is yelling), then I start to feel icky or nauseous. Is it a sensory thing? I also can't do podcasts, because the disembodied narrator voice talking at me grates on me. Like if I'm driving and the radio turns to talking it starts to make me nervous and lose concentration in driving. I'd rather have silence in the car than listen to the radio morning shows.
@Katek819, @wisewitch222 plus one to being extra irritable and unable to concentrate on things like a book and yesss to the sensory overload of loud kids in your face, climbing, wrestling and yelling. Ha.
Ok. So I caught my break, my hives never got worse and completely vanished with loratadine!!!
But, now today my sink and toilet are clogged. We have a plumber here now who just asked me to flush the toilet and said “uh oh” when I told him I did…. I can’t wait to see what this is going to cost. Ugh.
Update: He thinks it’s broken, closer to the street, which would mean it would have to be dug up and a HUGE project. And probably cost. Ugh. I had to leave to pick up ds1 from school and told mh he has to meet him there- because honestly I don’t even want to deal with it anymore.
@paytonpedro OMG what a huge hassle! Is it still your personal responsibility to pay/fix if it's broken off property? I mean, of course you want it fixed and who else is gonna pay for it but still...seems unfair. I am not a homeowner and have zero clues.
@starkette I think it depends where exactly it’s broken. We have a sink hole in the street right in front of this that the water company and village are constantly repairing- literally probably right where this is broken, and I can’t help but think it’s related to that. I don’t think it’s an emergency, and he said the sink isn’t related. But yeah. It’s stressing me. Also technically my mil owns the house. She lives downstairs and we live upstairs. We don’t pay her rent but we help with maintenance and repair costs. So, prior to this bad news we just planned on covering it all. But now we’ll have to figure out how we’re going to split it.
@paytonpedro this almost exact thing happened at my mothers house. And of course the break was right before the city would have had to fix it. Not to scare you but this cost us $3000 in cash and that was with a huge discount and knowing the guy. I heard it could cost double that. I really hope it’s broken where the city needs to fix it. We ended up with raw sewage in the basement so there was no option to not fix it.
I just graduated my little guy from the allergist 2 weeks ago for his milk allergy, and said to the doc “No offense but I hope we never see you again.” So of course, yesterday my big kid had a crazy mystery allergic reaction that rebounded badly after Benadryl, which earned her some steroids, and yes, a referral to the allergist! She’s totally fine now, but why oh why, did I say this thing??? Tempting fate fail!
Thanks for all the positive vibes, keep sending them!! It’s all bad news ugh. The break is before the village would have to fix it and we’re responsible. The kitchen sink has galvanized pipes in the wall and he thinks they’re corroded so that will also probably have to be fully replaced- worse case scenario. Best case, it just the first part and only one pipe will have to be replaced. He couldn’t do it today so until he can get back I don’t have use of my kitchen sink or dishwasher because it drains into the same spot. Ugh. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I have major FOMO because the "what my pregnant self is eat" thread is sooooo active. However, I still cannot get myself to open it and the thought makes me feel nauseated.
Haha @leahrnmom I’ve had similar thoughts about that thread, I think it’s the only one I haven’t opened at all. I know it’ll either make me nauseous or jealous of someone’s food 😆

@leahrnmom right there with you! I cannot handle thinking about ANY food (this has been going on since about week 6). Scrolling on social media has been a NIGHTMARE. I never realized until now how often people post pictures of food! 😖
My oldest has a playdate over the weekend with a friend from school and they want to come to our house but OMG it's soooo messy. And since her friend will want to play in my daughter's room, it means I have to clean upstairs too. I usually hide our mess in the upstairs hallways when guests come over. I've been meaning to do a deep clean/reorganization of everything (especially the hallway) but I don't wanna. Wah.
For those still following, may God bless Tessiesmom in October 2022. Girl is working on getting that BMB organized!
Also, I cannot STAND to look at any other community threads. I was scrolling in breastfeeding and there are so many threads with zero answers and no organization. So, long story short, thank you to everyone for the effort to keep this BMB organized!! Even though I may not reply to everything (sometimes that is too much pressure for me) please know that I read them all!
@brittanynmorris I stopped into October and saw that tessiesmom started to try and organize things over there. I'd like to echo what you said about keeping our August BMB organized! Thank you!!! And never ever feel pressured to reply. Just the fact that you're here is enough. 💗
@paytonpedro I saw yesterday she graduated too and immediately gave that board what it needed! So happy for her! Also yay for a bucket seat to use. 🥴 to the walls getting holes cut but at least the problem will be getting fixed.
@paytonpedro it’s such a relief to not have to spend money on certain things. My sister said I could borrow the car seat, her solly wrap, a swing, clothes/swaddles. All stuff I would have purchased happily. But I just fee so grateful I don’t have to spend money on items I’ll only use for 6 months.
My exact sentiment @and_peggy! Gives me money to buy other things! Lol. Like if this baby is a girl, a whole new wardrobe!
@wigglyicecream I still don’t know if it will be fixed today. Because of it not being used, now it might have froze 😓 super huge headache and currently still no kitchen sink or dishwasher.
But a positive here would be, it was pretty easy to convince mh that I’m not cooking and we need to have Mexican For dinner.
@mdfarmchick@paytonpedro If mine's a girl she will definitely be wearing her share of monster trucks and tractors. I have so many nice clothes left from the boys! And it really bothers me when I see baby/toddler girls in uncomfortable "cute" girl clothes. She definitely wouldn't exclusively wear boy hand me downs, especially as she gets older, and I do plan on infant ear piercing (UO, I guess?) so she would look like a girl before having hair, but I definitely won't overhaul the entire 0-2T wardrobe.
I was just thinking about this but if you don’t know, you can get a free breast pump through your insurance. I’ve gotten 3 free ones (insurance changes a lot 🙄) and it’s 100% no strings attached.
@paytonpedro go out for Mexican! That's our go to when we don't have dinner plans every time, or about once a week. Side story: Our regular waitress knows our margarita orders before we even order, but when I told her I was pregnant she was so excited, she asked if she could follow us on Facebook!
@wisewitch222 oh no, she will definitely be wearing her share of boy clothes and I have some favorites from each size but as the only granddaughter on my side of the family, I won’t be able to stop my mom and sisters from doing some shopping 😆 And I’m sure I’ll want to buy something
