October 2011 Moms
Anyone planning something special for making it to 2nd tri?
I've told my H that I'm waiting to actually look at baby stuff "in store" (let's just say I'm already poking around online - heh) after I make it to 2nd tri. It feels like a fun way to celebrate making it past the 1st tri crazy. There is a Right Start and an independent baby boutique right next to my gym and one morning after class, I'm totally grabbing a tea latte and having a morning of window shopping. 
Anyone else planning to do something similar?

Re: Anyone planning something special for making it to 2nd tri?
OMG I LOVE cherry coke and you can't get it in Canada!!!!
::knock on wood:: I haven't really been too sick, but the food aversions have been tough. Although, one of the only things that regularly sounds good is Asian food. My poor H likes it well enough, but not the way I do these days. Oops! Hope you enjoy that buffet when you get there.
Not wearing tons of layers to cover up my changing figure! Going public at work.
And cooking again!
Yeah, I told H that I would feel more comfortable with that after 1st tri assuming the spotting stays far away. I'm guessing he is looking forward to the end of the month even more than I am.
LOL!!!
I feel so bad... Poor DH! The one night I was feeling okay enough to have sex, he seemed so giddy... lol! So I know what you're going through and how excited your DH must be!
For me, I think this is more of a celbration of MH. I am always so worried abouthim feeling left out so I want to do something special for HIM once we hit the BIG 2!
I feel guilty that I get to have all of the "fun" (I use that term loosely)... but I want him to know that he's still my guy.
Perhaps we will go out to dinner. Turn the TV and Phones off and just chill.
Sex. I have been on progesterone for 3 weeks now. DH HATES IT! So, it is his choice to abstain.
That is when we will tell the world. Actually not until 13+ weeks though. Easter is our anniversary and next time we will see most of the family in person...so that's what it'll be!
We'll also wait until then to tell DS. He will tell the world. And if something happens, how do you explain a miscarriage to a 4 year old? Last time we didn't tell him...he was 2.
I am hoping at that point I will feel secure enough to start touring daycares and hospitals, looking at baby gear and deciding where to register, etc. - all of the things I am too scared to do right now because I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.
Also, I am looking forward to getting to take my allergy pills again, especially now that it's springtime.
What allergy med are you on? I take Zyrtec with my doctor's permission. I would be miserable if i couldn't!
Yes! I've been making the odd meal here and there, but it's been pretty pathetic in our kitchen for awhile now.
We'll tell a few friends (not going public yet). Try to relax for a week or two. Maybe have sex.
13 weeks is still way too far off from viability for me to pick out baby stuff or let my guard down. Though I will be extremely happy and relieved if we reach 2nd tri.

I take Claritin, which is approved for pregnancy. My doctor said I could take it if I really needed to, but she would be more comfortable if I waited until after all the development takes place in the first tri if possible, just to be on the safe side. Luckly it's been so cold for the most part that none of my seasonal allergies have been a problem yet. I know I won't be able to hold out much longer though!
Ah, so fraglette is an AE? I'll be interested in your coming out party then.
This for sure. Not telling work people (esp friends) is excruciating.

I totally missed this the first time. Is that what you mean, fraglette?

Hey, no stones being thrown with the AE. This handle is one for me, too, because I wanted to keep this underwraps while we were TTC and then for a few weeks into the pregnancy. I just told my nestie pals and am back posting on other boards.
I'll look forward to your reveal m'dear!
Fair enough. But if you've never posted a pic of yourself or anything, how would anyone have known the you on the boards is you IRL? I never post anything identifying about myself; other than 1 person around here who knows me IRL, and those I've met IRL BECAUSE I'm here, there shouldn't be any way of someone finding me.

AMEN to this! I have to buy a couple shirts this weekend to last me through the next couple weeks (some baggy, flow-y types). Of course I can keep wearing them. But having to hide my growing abdominal bloat is getting HARD! People here at work HAVE to notice....I know I would on someone else.... hehe. Next week is casual dress week at work...and I'm kind of bummed, because my work pants still fit...but not so much my jeans
So besides wearing what I want, I'm also going to start hitting the gym 3 times a week - hoping that the energy finds me again within the next couple weeks!
This all makes me quite intrigued for your big reveal. So Oct. 2011 is not your first rodeo. Good to know. Just out of curiosity, are you still posting under your usual SN on your "old" boards?

Nice! You're better than me though. The idea of logging in and out of my regular name and my AE made my brain hurt. I just disappeared for a bit. Oops. :P
Yeah, I wouldn't be able to keep that up, even with the flask and the coke.
