DH is working over nights for the next 3 weeks. I don't know how I'm going to get any sleep. At the moment I'm laying on the couch with full intent on sleeping here. Too quiet in our room.
So, back to all the weight gain things. I put on FB that something about being in the car and asking DH to remind me NOT to eat that much in the future. I put this up because I had heartburn from HELL after gulping down two plates of turkey dinners (and some not so pleasant lower intestinal issues too.) but I didn't specifically put that I told DH that because of heartburn. A pregnant friend of mine, a few weeks behind me, comments on my status "Good for you for not gaining too much weight." Ummmm...this has nothing to do with weight gain AT ALL. I'm not stressing about weight gain. This had everything to do with the massive amounts of pain and suffering I experience from eating too much!!

I have only posted one picture of me pregnant this pregnancy. I put up a picture of me pregnant and said "halfway done 20 weeks." I got a lot of "so cute" or "wow that's gone by fast" but I also got a lot of "what a tiny bump" or "you're so small". I "liked" the other comments, but not the ones about me being tiny and small because I don't really think that's a compliment and I wasn't sure how to respond... I'm not big or small I'm just letting my body do it's thing... It was kind of awkward. Hopefully nobody noticed but me.
Finally broke down and bought new bras yesterday. OMG WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?!?! My boobs are so much happier with me now. Not to mention they look waaay better now too ;-)
On another note, screw the permanently stuffy/swollen shut nose I woke up with on Thursday, and can't get rid of. I swear I used to have dreams of having a stuffy nose while pregnant and suffocating in my sleep... Definitely feel that way now most nights!
Laying in bed can't decide whether to get up or not. Have plans to go shopping with my sister today and then to our moms house to work on sewing projects. We'll see how far we get in the projects. Should be a fun day
Fashion emergency- my non maternity tank top is way too short. I'm covered up because of all of my layers, but I keep ending up with the tank up by my boobs. Coooooool.

April 14 August Siggy Challenge- "This time last year.."
I'm so depressed. Sitting here feeling totally normal and healthy and I can't work. I feel worthless. I know DH doesn't feel this way but sometimes I feel like it looks like I'm just on vacation. Lounging reading watching movies, not cleaning or doing laundry or cooking dinner. Plus I've now cut our income income in half... Right before Christmas.

I'm feeling your pain! This is my first week on a reduced schedule. I can only come into work 2 days a week. They other 3 will be working from home IF that gets approved by HR.
Mom to 10 year old DS and 7 year old DD. Twin girls coming soon!

I'm sorry you're feeling down. You are doing the best work you could possibly be doing (keeping that precious baby cooking)! I'm sure you know it already, but it's so much more important than anything else you could be doing with your time and it's something to be proud of! I hope that as time passes the negative feelings subside.
March 2017 September Siggy Challenge: Favorite Fall Things
@embear The heat is hard during pregnancy. I really don't like driving in ice. They don't do school closures or anything unless it's -35 or below. I never had a snow day growing up. You literally just have to dress like you're in the Christmas Story, lol.
So I received my secret onesies today and was excited..... thanks to another user posting the H&M deal (40%) I ordered the LO 4 onesies and a denim dress. Also got two gifts out the way.
I'm really kind of upset at my MW. I had to go in today because I have fallen awkwardly on my butt 2x now since last night- once moving a recliner decorating for Christmas and today I tripped over my daughter's boot. She kept pushing that i'm abused at home. I fell during my last pregnancy so she combined both of the problems. I am nowhere near abused, yeah DH is kinda dumb sometimes, but never has he ever abused me or anything ever. I told her no, and she kept saying that I can tell her if I need too, and proceeded to look for bruises. I realize this may be a problem for some couples, and she has to ask- but she kept pressing. WTF?
I hate heartburn! I took some tums before bed last night, which helped until I woke up to pee at 2 something, and then had to get up again a few minutes later to take more tums because it hurt so bad I couldn't sleep. Now it's creeping back up on me at work, so much fun...
@michaelad3 I give the thumbs up to calling your OB on this one. I did and got a prescription, and its been life changing for me. (Except when I'm stupid and overeat, but, that's my fault!)

Wait... I thought this was the look we were going for! At least for our HDBD photos with our trailers in the background!
@poru yes my child, I am the mucus queen. Benadryl helps slightly. Tea helps a tiny bit too. Lemon water (when it doesn't give me heartburn). Avoiding dairy and sugar- both mucus triggers for me.
