  • So I still have not felt LO move yet. I am trying not to freak out. I think I may just be missing it since I don't know what to expect. My a/s is first thing tomorrow morning so I am just trying to stay calm until then.

    My funny random is that I am substitute teaching today. I have a student named Letcher. For real.
  • @FLFishOutOfWater‌ I have heard of GERD being a trigger and I've had reflux issues in the past so it's definitely possible. I guess my thing is I don't know which doctor to ask about it cause they all seem pretty clueless... Like when my one OB asked how I was feeling and I told her I've been having breathing issues with my VCD she was like what's that? And I started to explain and she just cut me off saying "well everything is getting pushed up you know" and I'm like yeah... Not even worth trying to explain. She's obviously clueless.
  • @DragonflyDreaming‌ I was actually prescribed Xanax on two different occasions which stopped the symptoms literally overnight. It was a very low dose which Id wean off both times. But obviously I can't take that now. I was reading studies all night saying Elavil (amitriptyline) is often prescribed and that is an antidepressant, apparently it kind of just slows down the vocal cords. Needless to say though I'm pretty hesitant to take an anti depressant for something other than depression and once I have the baby I hope to breastfeed for a long time so also have to be mindful of whatever I can take after birth.
  • I read through the whole thread but don't have the mental energy to tag. Good luck to those with appointments today. I love the announcements for those who shared.

    Our DVR didn't record The Walking Dead at 6 so we had to wait until it came on at 9:30 and I am so sleepy today. It was worth staying up for, but I'm pretty tired this morning.

    Other than some insane coughing fits I actually feel a little better! @wishiwaspreggo‌ I've been wearing a mask and washing my hands a lot, making sure everyone knows to stay away. Trust me I hate when sick ppl come to work and get everyone else sick. But I have my own desk and my own stuff so nobody should be messing with it, and if they do, well, that's on them. Ha. Downing tons of water and popping cough drops like they're candy!

    DragonflyDreaming - I used PicMonkey to edit my photos/add words and liked it.  I was surprised at how much you could do, and it's free!

    Sorry, my mental energy to tag others quit early today.

    My random is that we got a new paralegal who seems wonderful but is a LOUD TALKER on the phone.  I can hear her down the hall.  This might be a problem.

    My double random is that I have a case of the sads.  I'm in the 7-10 day MaterniT21 result wait and trying not to freak out.  I haven't felt baby move yet.  My hips hurt when sleeping on my sides, which wakes me up. And I woke up with lots of lower abdomen cramping.  I just want my a/s and results to get here already.  Over and out.
    I have been having the same hip pain. It has kept me up a lot the last few nights. I absolutely hate it!

    Fx that your results come back low risk and everything is great!
  • @kcbizme and @tunnel Me three with the hip pain. It wakes me up every couple of hours all night long.
    :-<
  • I just thought I'd jump in and say headaches can suck it.

    @goofygoff din tai fung! i love that place so much. drooling just thinking about their spicy pork dumplings. i should go soon, i haven't been in months since chinese food has been making me sick. but i think i could handle some dim sum. the battle that is travelling to and in uvillage is also not great and bellevue is no better, let's be real.

    We went to the Lincoln Square location.  There's a reason we opted to go on a Sunday night.  Holy Bellevue drivers, Batman!

  • Stupid question time: am i supposed to go through the metal detectors when i fly this week?
    You can without risk of harm to LO, even the full body scanners. But you can ask for a one-on-one screening if you want to. My understanding is that the time in air exposes you to more radiation than the X-ray machines, but still not enough to cause harm.
  • So I just need to bitch. My work was going to let me come back just to take care of the campground, but now the new CAO seems to dislike me. No idea why! So now I am not allowed to do that anymore. She is being such a bitch, I can not stand her. I am no longer the safety officer anymore either that reverted back to my boss. Before I started here they had no safety program. I made the manual from scratch, I implemented the orientation program, I was trying to get our COR. I am so frustrated. They had a potluck that she "forgot" to invite me too.
    At this moment I am so happy that I only work here for 4 more months, and am so thankful that I am not returning after my maternity leave.
    Sorry about my rant, that I am sure is all over the place.
  • Over the weekend I found out my one cousin (who made smart remarks about me getting pregnant with "help") is still mad that I am pregnant and she is not. My uncle (not her father) told my dad that she probably won't come to the shower because she is mad. My mom said if c says anything rude or snarky to me at thanksgiving she will go off on c. I told her I will go off on her myself. Also if c wants to act like that she will never hold or play with the baby if she is around on holidays. I also told my mom her mom will probably say this baby doesn't count as the first great neice/nephew since she doesn't consider me truly family since I was adopted. F them.
    I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. At least your mom is supportive! Someone needs to kick c's ass.

    (I am finding I'm aggressive today :P)
  • @megaugust10‌ thats so infuriating!!!! F them!

    My random is an apology for being less active on the board. Today is the anniversary of the last time I ever saw my mom and wednesday is the anniversary of her passing away. Im trying to work through having my first child without her around. And today were going to pick up our dogs paw prints and ashes :'( . Ill bounce back, I always do. It just really sucks right now, one of those weeks where everything makes you think of them.
  • @megaugust10 That is so messed up! So glad your mom is being supportive at least.
  • @ruemorgan Big hugs to you!

    Also sending hugs to @MrsLaurenandDan for your Halloween milestone coming up this week!
  • My random-famous Dave's for lunch yesterday and the leftovers for lunch today. Both were delicious. I love good BBQ (cut me some slack I'm in California so Famous Dave's is the best we have here)
  • @ruemorgan Hugs for you, sounds like a rough week for you.

    Pregnancy Ticker Anniversary

  • People. We had a full day but I am SOOOO FUCKING SORE over it :( this pregnancy is so much more difficult on my body than my last!! I seriously cannot even walk right now. Ugh! Anyhow, it was a nice day, except, that job I've done four interviews and a three hour task for still has ANOTHER final round interview...hour and a half in person. I'm asking about salary and hours before accepting the final round because this shit has consumed so much of my time already and I don't even know that the job is right for me...
  • @ruemorgan‌ >:D<
    @megaugust10‌ That is effed up, but especially your last paragraph. I'm with you, F them if that's how they feel.
    @FrecklesInside‌ Jeez! These people! I hope they make a damn decision soon.

  • @ruemorgan Hugs to you and hope that you have some good support and lots of love around you this week! You definitely have some here from your M15 Mamas.

     

  • Hugs for @ruemorgan

  • @ruemorgan‌ hugs to you! I can relate.
  • Oh @ruemorgan, I'm just another internet stranger offering hugs, but they are sincere. What a crappy week.

    @FrecklesInside -- You are STILL interviewing? Absurd! People need to make up their damn minds.
  • I kind of skimmed the random thread, and hope those of you who are sick start feeling better soon!  This is the first week that I am feeling decent in a while, and it's such a relief!  I wanted to do a dance but I'm afraid I'd throw my back out or something else stupid.

    We went on a quick vacation with DH's family this weekend, and it was fun!  His mom had a panic attack when we went on a boat ride, but she pushed through which was good because I was NOT going to let her anxiety get in the way of my dolphin spotting!  hehe  We did lots of eating and I definitely maxed out my seafood allowance for a little while!

    This Friday is my a/s!  I'm so excited - Halloween and the a/s all in one day!  It is also my first appointment with my new doctor.  Did I mention that debacle on here?  I started my pregnancy with one doctor, then after I had a scare and they were unresponsive I switched.  But I stupidly didn't check that the new place was covered by my insurance, so I ended up going back to my original doctor's office after speaking with the doctor about why I was upset.  But it has still been one problem after another capped off by the office calling me in the wrong prescription, an antibiotic not recommended for pregnancy, which I didn't realize until after I had finished the whole course of it.  Then when I called the office to ask the nurse didn't know how it happened and tried to blame someone else in the office.  So that was the last straw, and I made an appointment with a new doctor, after checking that my insurance will cover it!  Wish me luck!

    I read on TMZ that the victim of Mama June's child molester boyfriend was her own daughter. If that's true, she is the most disgusting, pathetic person on TV. I'm glad her show got cancelled.

    I'm honestly not surprised. A piece of shit hillbilly exploiting her family's disgusting behavior on Tv for all the world to see turns out to not be such a good person? Shocker.

    I always hated that disgusting show and am also very glad that shit is finally cancelled.

    I don't watch it but over the weekend someone told me what they used to eat - like noodles with butter and ketchup and I no bullshit wanted to vomit.

    --end quote--

    I actually think the 2 seconds of that show I ended up watching by accident included something like that, some vile concoction of food and they were all burping and the mom sneezed into the food and thought it was funny. I gagged and changed the channel. I've found myself indulging in some dumb reality tv but that is just.. No words.
