I got like five seconds of sleep. I need to get to work but I'm avoiding getting out of bed until Dh lights the fire. I'm eating M&Ms under the covers. That counts as breakfast right?

Sneak me some? I'll share my twizzlers.

Rain! Glorious rain! Thunder, I hate your guts, don't wake the baby.

I'm willing to part with some in exchange for twizzlers. My bedside candy stash is starting to get a little out of control.

I'm tired. I'm trying to not go to DD at night unless she's actually crying. She'll wake often and whimper a bit or babble or sing... And a lot of times when I go in then, she's only half awake. I think waiting till she cries is right, but right now I wait and stress about if she's waking up or going back down, or if she's upset or how long she's going to be half awake and is she sleep deprived... Anxiety is fun. It takes me forever to fall back to sleep.

I came down for breakfeast and DH is eating major crackers. He said he'd cleaned after dinner. He sucks at cleaning after meals. He always leaves something. Last night he said he got it all. He didn't wipe the counters or the table. There was visible food on them! He didn't clean DD's high chair tray. There was a bowl half filled with soup in the sink. What the HELL, DH.

I'm determined to finish my freaking book that I've been trying to read at work for months! I'm sure my boss cares deeply about whether I get through it or not.

DS slept in past 7, which was nice. Of course, the cat tried to make sure we were both up before that because she hates me, but ya know.

ETA somehow my number 7 got eaten? DS slept past 7, in case y'all were wondering.

BluepointToasted · October 2014

I just want to eat my breakfast uninterrupted at my desk. Instead everyone and their mother wants to talk to me.

RondackHiker · October 2014

Evelynmonster can crawl!

My level of pride is probably completely disproportionate to the achievement, but I don't care.

Go go go!

My girls are out on fall break this week, so of course we woke up to thunderstorms this morning. Kinda crashes our picnic in the park with a hike after plans for today.

Gotta run into work for my annual hearing test this morning then I'm not sure what we'll get into after. I have to leave in like 15 minutes so I should probably get dressed, but I'm totally not feeling it

@RondackHiker‌ do you use a sound machine? We have then for both kids because we get anxious hearing every sigh and cough. We ask sleep better when we can't hear everything.

I should get one, especially because they share a room. They don't seem to wake each other up, but I bet they hear each other.

Do you still hear them if they're really needing you? I worry that it'd make crying hard to hear.

My first appt is tomorrow. I'm nervous. Nothing about this pregnancy feels real. It's almost like I'm waiting for the doctor to show me the ultrasound and be like, "yep, there it is" before I really get invested.

I also felt so much more certain the first time around. I feel like my overriding feeling now is anxiety.

Big hugs. Will you get an ultrasound tomorrow?

bearfootz · October 2014

My thinning hair is getting worse so I decided to try the metformin again to see if it will help (I didn't think it did last time so gave up on it). I'm easing into it with half a dose at a time but the side effects are still not fun. The bathroom is way too far away from my desk and this is a very dangerous situation but not one that I want to explain to the boss so I can work from home. Should be an interesting Monday!

HakunaMatata04 · October 2014

I got no sleep last night. Ds was up so much and ready to talk and play. We had to start supplementing on the weekend cause I'm having supply issues and I was not prepared for his diaper this morning. I opened it and yelled, he laughed and I then gagged and almost cried. Cloth diapering is about to get a lot more disgusting haha.
It's beautiful here today and so is off in an hour hopefully we'll go do something outside!

littlestjerry · October 2014

They might do an ultrasound if you've got that variation on EDDs @HilarityEnsued‌. That's what my OB did with DS.

angelashly · October 2014

Good luck tomorrow @HilarityEnsued‌

phunkyphish · October 2014

I'm freaking out because I don't know if the dog or child misbehaved and ate some bread (through the plastic) in the kitchen, or if it was a rodent/other animal. I made the mistake of googling, and found out that rats can come through sewer pipes and hide in toilets. Toilets! I'm never going without inspecting first now, and I'm just going to pray it was the dog.

bearfootz · October 2014

phunkyphish to avoid further talk of rodents we're all just going to assume it was your dog

Good luck! Starting met can be... interesting. Are you taking extended release? That made a huge difference for me.

no, they are regular, I'll give this a couple of days and if it's still bad maybe I'll see if we can change them. I suppose I'd better look up what foods to avoid too and see if that helps.

That's my plan. She has eaten plastic before, and I didn't see any other evidence. I cleaned the hell out of our cabinets too, and found nothing to indicate it wasn't the dog. It was just weird because it was still on the counter, and not on the floor like it is when she gets into stuff.

So, I created my Match.com profile last night pretty late, and I have like, 4 or 5 emails. But I don't want to have to pay for the subscription to read/respond. Omg, what if Match is scamming me and they're not even real emails?!

Damn it.

It's about $20/month. I just don't know if I'm ready for that kind of commitment.

I am getting married on Saturday! YAY!

Everyone keeps asking if I am nervous or stressed and I just am not. Everything is taken care of, anything that might go wrong will not stop me from getting married, so I just am not worrying about it.

I took off Thursday and Friday so I have two full days to iron out final details and I think that is almost too much time lol.

Yay!!! Have an awesome day you deserve it

jesuisfatiguee · October 2014

**hugs** @nonniedee. I don't know if this helps, but at least the year is almost over?

jesuisfatiguee · October 2014

I'm so excited for you, @becwheat!!!

My sister met her H through her joke dating profile

Well, now I know what I need to do.

jesuisfatiguee · October 2014

I guess I'll do the 7 day free trial. Because now I supposedly have 7 emails.

I bet they all say something like "Hey, how r u?" or something about Batman. Losers.

Rogue Lily · October 2014

Flying out to LA for a few days this afternoon. I am lame because I am mostly excited to have lots of time to get work done uninterrupted. I am seriously giddy over it.

I feel like an a-hole now. I am also sad about leaving my kids. Obviously.

My MIL gave me a gift card for my birthday. I think I'm going to do a little shopping at sephora.com this morning.

They typically do a dating ultrasound between 7-9 weeks. I'm also nervous since I'm pretty sure my EDD is 6/1 that if they do do (lol... doodoo) an ultrasound tomorrow, they won't see a heartbeat. And then I will just be more over-the-top anxious.

I need to just hakuna my friggin tatas. I know this.

If they do an ultrasound for you they can do a transvaginal ultrasound and see the heartbeat anytime after 5 weeks. On my last they did one at 5 weeks and could see the little heart flickering

bearfootz · October 2014

I ate cheetos for breakfast.

I will feel no guilt because they were the baked kind.

But I do feel a little Miss Piggy like now that there is orange powder all over my keyboard.

angelashly · October 2014

Did anyone watch the new show stalker on Cbs?

I'm actually attempting to give up cheese this time too (

Short of an allergy or intolerance, I'm not sure I can comprehend why anyone would do that

aforst · October 2014

@HilarityEnsued I hope you can get some peace of mind at the appointment. I hate those first several weeks, they're so stressful.

DD woke up around 2 a.m. this morning. I'm so tired now. I'm an asshole for complaining about this b/c she is an incredible sleeper and sttn all the time. She ate a bottle and went right back to sleep.

I'm also an asshole b/c DS1 was sick this weekend and I was kind of hoping it would carry over to today so I could stay home with him and snuggle.

DS2 turns 4 today which doesn't even seem remotely possible.

DH and I went and Saw Annabelle on Friday night. I was relieved to see that I was not the only adult walking out of that movie shaking. It was so freaking scary. DH thought it was funny to scare me all weekend after that.

I joined Weight Watchers yesterday. We didn't really have the money for me to do it, but iam so tired of hating the way that I look, hating my body, and sometimes myself for letting myself get so out of control with my eating habits. I saw a pictures of me that was taken last weekend, and that was the last straw for me. I can cut some things out of the budget in order to be able to afford $19 a month.

No. The hb starts AROUND the 6w mark. With DD we couldn't even see a fetal pole at 5w3d in spite of high betas. DS had a super low hb at 6w2d so it was just starting. Telling people it can ve seen at 5w is going to freak them out because...generally no.

Just going by my experience and what the us tech told me. At 5 weeks 2 days the heartbeat was clear as day. A tiny sac with a little flickering light. You couldn't hear it, but you can very easily see it.

EVA116 · October 2014

Good morning. I feel like shit and I have swimmers ear from my ear buds. WTH.

I just want to go home and catch up on my fall shows.

I had fantastic sex with DH this weekend. I can't stop thinking about him now.

jesuisfatiguee · October 2014

@mcbenny sorry you're so tired! But yay for a Texas home

angelashly · October 2014

We loved it @mcbenny‌ I think I looked like that through most of the show

insertclevername · October 2014

DS2 slept from 7:15pm to 5:30am. I really hope that this becomes a pattern. I actually did not mind waking up at 5:30am. I made a cup of coffee, cuddled and read him books. It was a great start to a Monday. No case of the Mondays today.
