Sunday 4/19/09

Is it Sunday already? I'm enjoying the 75-degree weather we're having (instead of the usual rain)!    If you have not sent me your information, you can do so at any time. Congratulations on your BFPs and feel free to post any information about yourselves here, including symptoms!

Question of the Day (QOTD):

What is one chore you hate that you tell your DH/SO you have "no energy" for? (Yeah, I'm talking about how you take advantage of him/her now that you're pregnant. Angel)

Stacia: I hate cleaning the bathrooms (especially toilets and floors). I tell dh that it makes me gaggy/nauseous. He jumps right on it if I ask!

Re: **Jingle Bellies Sunday check-in**

  • Right now, I'm pretty much useless because m/s is so bad already. I was really sick with my daughter and hoping this time around it wouldn't be as bad, but so far all day sickness has really thrown me for a loop. Poor DH is pretty much doing all that he can on the weekends for me. I'm trying to save up all my energy so that I can try to take care of DD while he's at work.
  • Loading the player...
  • Hmmmm. He is making a lot of meals, although I don't hate doing it, because I am not finding anything tasty and don't have a strong appetite. However, when he puts it in front of me I chow down.

    I will play the pregnancy card when it comes to cleaning the bathroom.

  • I hate bathing the dog, walking the dog...

    DH does this morning and evening along with feeding the dog.  Just the smell of dog food makes me gag.

  • Yay!  I am officially a jingle bellie.

    symptoms: sore/enlarged boobs, tired, slight waves of nausea (but nothing major yet), dizziness and food cravings oh and some cramping.

    There is no chores being delegated to the hubby as I am a SAHM and my job is to maintain the household stuff. He is good about bringing me home food and taking out the garbage though.

  • our dishes piled up the other night when we had some friends over for supper, so i told him the smell of the night before dishes combined with the new ones was making me gag, so he totally did all of em! i didn't feel bad at all because he never ever does the dishes.

  • i haven't started that yet although he is changing more dirty diapers right now. but with c it was cleaning bathrooms. i hate that.

  • For me, it is the laundry and washing dishes. My husband has been great about helping me. I love him!
  • I've never been really big on cooking but now my husband is cooking a lot more.  After we both get home from work, neither of us want to cook but we both worked all day and I'm making a baby at the same time so I get a free pass. YEAH!!!  He is a great cook so whatever he makes is way better then what I would have made anyways.
  • DH is pretty good about helping out so I haven't done anything like that...yet Stick out tongue Although I did notice that anything with food (including doing dishes) makes me want to hurl so I might have to have him do that too Big Smile
  • Dishes! ?Until this week I felt like I was doing dishes all the time (including having to do almost ALL our dishes after Passover and then 4 days later after Easter). ?Then this week with the morning sickness, tiredness, and just general crappy feeling I have been asking DH to do all the dishes, and fortunately he's been great about doing them.

  • Last week, when I was feeling SUPER tired--DH did almost every chore in the house!  He has been great about taking care of cleaning/cooking.  I am pretty OCD when it comes to a clean house, so the fact that he is doing so much and so often is such a relief :)
  • Hi ladies, I am super new......just a few days with a really faint positive 2 days ago. I still need to get a new ticker and add the Jingle bellies logo!!

    Looking forward to getting to know you all!

    Well, I am soooo early on, I guess I can't really take advantage yet.....but looking forward to it :-)

    I hate the bathroom too, but no way would DH clean the toilet, even if I was gagging. He would literally hire a maid, and I would not want to spend the money. So, probably dusting......hate it!!  He would do that for me. I love to cook, but if that starts being a problem due to smells, he would ldo that......and I would take advantage!

  • Ditto on the dishes! If they aren't dealt with immediatly I won't touch them. The sight/smell of old food is not good right now. Also we cloth diaper and dh is taking over some of the diaper laundry (it's not really that bad, but getting dh to help with that one is an absolute pleasure Stick out tongue)

  • Definitely bathrooms. I hate doing them anyway, and as soon as I said something about the chemicals and smells, DH was all about it. Oh, and he scoops the kitty litter now, too. Yay.
  • So far I am not getting out of any chores, or attempting to get out of any.  We'll see what happens in the next couple of weeks!

  • doing the dishes! lol i tell dh it makes me sick.
  • Nothing yet.  I am saving that for worse days!!  But my husband is great, he will do whatever it is.
  • Hi ladies!

    I am pretty much exhausted all the time right now! ?The weekdays I can get by pretty well because at work (I teach) i have NO sitdown time except for lunch. ?But on the weekends and evenings I feel like I've been hit by a ton of bricks!

    Hmmm DH pretty much does any cleaning I ask him to, but so far I've just asked him to get me stuff from downstairs because it feels like I run a mile to get up and down one flight of steps!?

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Grocery shopping! The thought of pushing around that heavy cart and lugging the groceries into the house makes me tired just thinking about it!
    BabyFruit Ticker Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • He does doggie duty a little more than before but I don't ask him to do too much more. I am saving it up!
  • Changing the cat liter!  I tell him of course I can't do it anymore, his response:  "I think a woman made this up so her husband would do it for nine months and it is a rumor." HAHAHAHA!  Either way he has the duty for 8 more months! 

  • I've never been a fan of walking the dog, but now that I'm KU, he's a lot more forgiving when I don't want to do it lol.   But I think that's it.  Oh, yesterday and today, the m/s has been real hard so he's had to do the cooking.  But that was for real, not so much taking advantage lol.  :o)

  • Definitely dishes! It's the only thing I am enjoying about m/s lol. I HATE them!
  • I've also been trying to get DH to clean the bathrooms. I also haven't been helping bring the groceries in the house.

  • Before getting pregnant DH cleaned the house and did the laundry anyway, but now he doesn't want me to bend over at all, so he has to pick up things on the floor or tie my shoes for me. Smile
  • I have no energy to do laundry... Our washer and dryer is in the basement, and that's TWO flights of stairs from the bedroom.  DH is awesome!  He'll carry all the dirty stuff down, and then bring up al the clean clothes once they're finished.  And as always, if I need help with anything he is always there to lend a helping hand.  I'm so lucky! 
  • I am new to the group too.  I just got my BFP last week.  I am excited to get to know you all.

    My DH was pretty great about doing the chores before my BFP.  I absolutely hate doing the dishes, even before.  We have an agreement that he will do he dishes, and I will put the extra food away after dinner.  Tonight though I pull the pregnancy card, and got out of both Smile  I am just a little bit spoiled!

    U/S #2 5/3/11 No heart rate found. D&C done 5/4/11 at 9w 2d.
  • He has taken over our litter box duty, which is nice.  We have 4 cats, so litter boxes get done (at least scooped) 2x's/day.   And vacuuming around the cat boxes . . . that part I hate because it just seems to take so much effort.

    Helps out with lots of other things too.  Normally I don't ask him to do a lot of household chores b/c I am a control freak, but lately since I have been so exhausted, he can go for it!

  • Kitty litter duty!  Yaaay!!  (and he even disinfected the fridge today bcs he read somewhere that he should....love it!) 
  • Feeding the dogs.  Hate it.
