Fess up - no judgment shall be passed!
I've been feeling queasy for the last week and basically the only thing that I can stomach is carbs with cheese. I have eaten cheese pierogies no less than four meals this week.
Someone posted a pickle dip the other day and I've been thinking about it constantly, but when I go to make it my stomach sudden turns. I have a feeling the pickle dip with haunt me into second tri!

Follow through with the pickle dip! It is amazing!!
My FFC is that I totally ordered Chinese food and ate dinner in bed while watching Big Brother at 9pm. Unhealthy much?

DD #1 passed away in January 2011 at 14 days old due to congenital heart disease
DD#2 lost in January 2012 at 23 weeks due to anhydramnios caused by a placental abruption
I'm on the carb wagon too (when I can get food down
Tuesday night I had 2 pieces of buttered toast, greek yogurt and a piece of cake as "dinner". I'm usually much better than that but the nausea was SO bad, I just didn't care. UGH.
If you start making rules you become TTGP and I refuse to be anything like that. It might bother people (like me) but you just have to roll your eyes and let it go.
I thought about getting rid of one of my cats today. It was a brief thought but it happened. He is RIDICULOUSLY stinky. Like he is the total man of cats... comes up and cuddles until he rips a silent (but very deadly) fart then he gets up and leaves.
We have that arm & hammer double duty litter and usually I think it's fantastic but OMG I walked downstairs this morning and started dry heaving. I have yet to vomit from this pregnancy but boy did I come close today. I kept trying to wait for the stink to pass (and tried spraying febreze... but that made it worse). Finally I went up and woke up my husband and made him come clean the litter box.
I felt bad because it's his day off so I try to let him sleep in but I couldn't even breathe through my mouth without gagging and since the box is by the laundry room (in the kitchen) I couldn't get any breakfast until the stink went away.
I seriously contemplated buying more internet cheapies so I can continue testing until my appointment in 2 weeks.
Yesterday was the first time since the BFP that I didn't test (saving the last one for my mental emergency) and I was paranoid all day.
I want to buy a 100 pack
What is Blue Moon??
I think the Blue Moon she is referring to is a beer.
A pretty tasty one at that.
I would kill for a glass of wine right now!
I'm really worried that if this LO turns out to be a boy I will have gender disappointment. I love my DS to pieces but I want a girl.
I'll come to terms with it, of course, and love this LO just as much as I love DS, but it will take some time.
I feel guilty because I know I should just be happy to be pregnant and not worry about this.
This. Exactly this.
It's a pale ale. Very light and usually served with an orange slice. It's a pretty tasty beer.
My confession is I am sick of summer and ready for fall. I'm tired of getting sweaty.
I'm also sick and tired of my workplace taking advantage of me. I only work Friday nights and special events and two weeks ago my boss said she is canceling all future Friday night events since she has to pay out more in payroll than what we bring in. Fine, whatever, I understand it isn't cost effective. That was 6 hours a week of payroll for me - just 6. It's not like I'm rolling in the dough. But the tips were separate from the whole rest of the week, so servers who worked Friday night got to keep all those extra tips. We're talking upwards of $45 in tips. So it was worth it in that to just put some extra $$ into our savings.
The switch out I'm being offered is early morning hours once a week - 7:45am-11:00am. Three hours and fifteen minutes. And pooled tips with all the other weekly servers which drags my tips down to about $10-15, because the lunch rush is much much smaller than what we serve on the weekend. I am so pissed off!
On top of that I always have morning sickness around 11am. So yesterday I told my boss I refuse to work mornings for less pay, less hours and also I'd be throwing up at work and I don't really want to do that. I'm thinking I'm just going to quit entirely. Tonight is the last Friday night so I'll probably just quit after my shift is up. And this is just 1 small example of the ridiculousness that goes on. I could go on and on and on.
lol!
When our cats leave a fresh one, I hold my breath and cover it w/ some litter. That usually helps. One of my cats is good about covering (sometimes she even covers the others' poop), but the rest of them... not so much. They just leave a turd on top of the litter and go on their merry way. Dummies.
I don't think we get Blue Moon in Canada.. sounds like Rickard's White which is also quite tastey.
I fully plan on having some NYE!
I'm having flashbacks from when everyone was AW'ing their wedding pictures on the Knot and I had the slow photographer...now I'm the one with the doctors office that won't schedule the first appointment until 9 weeks! I just want to join in the fun! I want a heartbeat!
I got mine at the local grocery store. I was AWESOME. Yellow cake (super moist!) with buttercream frosting. YUM!!! Not sure what it's like in your area, but around here (PA Philly suburbs) the grocery stores will sell slices of individial cakes in the bakery department, especially later in the day.
I'm about ready to throw my cats out the door and be done with them. I love them. I really do. But I swear, if I come out of my room and find more stuff trashed, I'll put the guilty party into the washing machine and turn it on.
I'm also just freaking sick of bleeding. I miss sex way too much. DH and I weren't abstaining after my BFP, but once the bleeding started, we had to avoid. I've been having wild sex dreams pretty much every night and am feeling super deprived. I've been looking online and I think I have a subchorionic hemorrhage that is just running out instead of clotting. Sucks either way. Ugh.
ETA: I'm thinking about eating some sushi this weekend. I want it and I'm being good about everything else...I feel like I deserve a cheat.

Just started 1st IVF cycle Feb. 20.
All I ever want to eat is greasy, fatty food - and I don't want to cook!! Eating out is my friend right now. We were at Applebee's the other night and I had 1.5 dessert shooters, all of my husband's fries, and pretty much the whole serving of spinach artichoke dip with chips. I was SOO happy that night
I accidentally ate a whole sandwhich from Jimmy John's, without heating it up. I didn't think about it until it was almost gone. Oops.
Also, I "tasted" (it wasn't even a full sip... more like I stuck my tongue in it) a wine slushie drink at the state fair.
Little things that probably won't matter, but I still felt guilty.
I ate my lunch of leftover homemade pizza at 10:30 am.
My actual lunch time lunch.... a peppermint chocolate Luna bar chased down by a cupcake. Good going down but I kind of want to puke right now.
I confess I have bribed multiple bartenders to only serve me nonalcoholic drinks, regardless of what I order, and plan to do the same at a rehearsal dinner tonight and wedding tomorrow. This pregnancy secret is difficult to keep when my friends know me to go out 4+ times per week. I drank six pints of seltzer water with lime at the bar last night ("another gin and tonic, please!"). I had to stop to pee twice on the <1 mile walk home.
I have four more weddings, an out-of-town 30th birthday girls weekend, a big work gala, and a 60th birthday bash (all with open bar) before I plan to "come out" with this pregnancy. We'll see how long this lasts...
