Apparently my newest pregnancy symptom is waking up at 4am every morning dying of hunger. So far I've been trying to out stubborn it and go back to sleep, but I might just cave and get a granola bar. I have never eaten in the middle of the night. This is ridiculous.
I've been MIA in the random thread lately...I just can't keep up!!
@Peledreamsofrain , this has happened to me, except it's usually within an hour or two after I fall asleep! So irritating.
My BFF gave me a huge garbage bag full of maternity stuff yesterday, which is awesome because I'm already outgrowing some of the pants and shirts I have. I gained 50lbs with DD and I was really hoping to keep a better handle on it this time, but so far I'm pretty much on track for the same totals. Hooray. Apparently I carry most of it in my belly, ass, and thighs so it doesn't seem to get noticed much, except by me.
@Peledreamsofrain I wake up in the morning starving and have to immediately eat. I've never been that way. I was always that person who had breakfast an hour or two after waking up.
I've been MIA in the randoms lately too. By the time I get to them they are 6 pages. But I am here!
My in-laws took us to Ruth's Chris last night and baby boy made me eat like a pig. It was amazing though. Stteeaakkkk. And bread. Lol
Me(29), DH (29) Married December 2011 TTC#1 Since November 2013 Dec. 2013... BFP! 12/31/13... Natural M/C 1/29/14 (8 weeks) July 2014...BFP!... 17dpo beta 581...19dpo beta 1419!!.. stick baby, stick! EDD: 3/20/15.. It's a boy!

This happens to me too but I'm way too tired to eat. Granola bar is a good idea - that did not even occur to me because too tired to think too.
Just took my son to school to find out that they only have school for two hours. Really?! Y didnt they just make their vacation start today..i would have loved to have those extra hours of sleep.. @-)
I could have slept in today. My son is home with the flu and all I had to do was call before 10 and let them know he was out today, but 745 and I was wide awake. My son and fiancé are both snoring next to me and I'm thinking about breakfast and enjoying my little princess kicking away
DS was miserable last night from 8:30 - 11:30. He is getting his 2 yr. molars and had chewed his pacifier until it was completely shredded. I stayed up with him and finally carried him to his bed when he fell asleep. Then, I couldn't fall asleep for some reason and was awake until at least 2. I am pretty effing exhausted today.
Just catching up on yesterday's random thread - hope the sick kiddos and moms get well soon. @mwerren, I'm so sorry about your co-worker's mom. That's horrible.
@ruemorgan, shame on your co-worker, and double shame if she accepts her gift.
@jennypm - We're going to the Hobbit tonight at 7! I hope I can stay awake.
Today I'm going to pick up a couple of small last minute gifts and get the oil changed. FFFC: I love going to get the oil changed - DH always volunteers to do it but I insist. It's at the Toyota dealership and they have great pastries and snacks and a super cushy lounge. I usually curl up and get some e-mails done or read. They even do manicures and massages some days, though not on Fridays unfortunately. Then I get a free car wash. It's pretty awesome.
I am so tired. I had ridiculous insomnia last night and only got three hours of sleep. I also just found out yesterday that I am anemic, so that is not helping.
I did pass my glucose test though, so at least I don't have to do the three hour.
@Peledreamsofrain don't try to out smart the hunger because then you will wake up at a normal time so hungry that you don't know if you should pee or eat. If you can even make It to the kitchen Without peeing. Not that this happens to be every day or anything.
Afm. Just got back from my gtt. Fingers crossed! And I get to work from home today which is awesome but awful at the same time because I'm not productive at home.
I went through something similar last January with our min pin - she was horribly sick and had to get an IV. They x-rayed her and ran tests but didn't turn anything up. They really wanted us to spend 750 dollars to keep her at the vet hospital overnight (that was just the boarding fee), in addition to the 600 dollars she had already run up. We live pretty close to the vet hospital so we made the decision to take her home and monitor her. She recovered but it was not an easy decision to make - I was so scared we would lose her. I hope your kitty is still getting better and that you are getting some rest.
Thank God For Friday! H is planning a small get together with friends on Sunday. He said he'd take care of the whole thing. But seriously. The odds of me sitting back and not taking over the food at least are zero to none. I try but can't let it go! I really should. But he can't even flip an egg so I worry about his party planning skills!
@jennypm GL on your GTT! My friend just saw The Hobbit yesterday and she said it was awesome!
@krystaloowho I hate shopping with other people. They can never seem to make up their minds. I'm much more efficient when I am on my own.
@Darbie914 What kind of work do you do? I noticed you said your title company was bringing in lunch and I work for a real estate office so it sparked my interest.
@Peledreamsofrain this has been a recent development for me too- I second the chocolate milk
ETA: how shitty I feel today with this cold. This seriously has to happen the weekend before Christmas- jfc. It pisses me off to use sick days too because I have tried so hard to save those babies up for maternity leave. It's just a big ole bitch fest around here today...
I had a check up with my OB today, well it was actually a different OB since im not gaurenteed mine in L&D, and all went well. We talked about birth control after LO is born(we are leaning towards an iud) and then she checked the heart beat. The Doppler was making A LOT of weird noise so I was like "is everything ok?" And she was like "oh yeah, thats your son kicking me away, we'll give him a moment to calm down." Haha, I thought that was funny. Its still so weird to see or hear him kick and not being able to feel it. I had figured he was facing my back since I hadn't really felt him this last week,but I guess he's just toning it down.
And my boss ended up letting me take a long weekend and gave me off today and monday , im so thankful. I couldnt imagine going to work with 16 two year olds and a double ear infection!
ETA I keep forgetting we do a weekly appointment thread now!! Sorry guys
Our friends are trying to plan a trip to Cancun in July and this sounds horrible but I just keep thinking that I don't know if I will be swimsuit ready by July. That is only 5 months to get back to it. Last time around it took me 8 months to be back in shape and have my pre preg body. UGHHH....sucks I wont be the only mom of the group but I will be the most recent mom and probably the most self conscious. Okay that was my vain random thought of the day.
@earthian I had the same worry before. I was supposed to be in a wedding in August but unfortunately her fiancee just called it off so now I don't have that worry anymore. Before I was just worried about fitting into a dress and now it is swim suit I have to think about.
At my 3 hour glucose test this morning. After hearing all about how bad that juice is, I actually don't mind it. Not that I would want to drink it all the time but I didn't think it (or the one hour juice) was bad.
Sucks sitting in the waiting room for so long. Wish they could give you results instantly. I am too impatient to wait! I'm dreaming of what lunch to have now once it's all over. Thinking of chipotle- yum!
So not motivated today! I am so far behind on holiday shopping and have to go to a holiday party at my H's gym. He trains a lot and fights for them so I kinda have to go - but I am not looking forward to being around 30+women with perfect bodies (the men are just gross and sweaty to me). It's hard enough when I'm not pg. I never worry about my H - it's just that I'm not feeling super hot these days - or even marginally cute.
In other news - my sister may come and visit me with her girls over the holiday. I love those little girls so much and am just going to smother them with love and fun. I hope she doesn't change her mind!!
I need to clean and pick up the house as I will have people over for cake and ice cream in 2 days to celebrate DS birthday, but I am apparently avoiding it. I definitely want it done, I'm staring to be grossed out by all the dog hair on the floor and carpet but I can't seem to get myself started and now is the perfect time to work on it since DS is still sleeping at 9:40 am.
Woop woop! Just ordered some baby washcloths to use as wipes. DH finally gave the go ahead to try cloth wipes after I was gushing over how much we've saved since switching to CDs a few years ago. I think I am overly excited about cleaning poopy butts with cloth... :-?
@WAMOM What did you end up purchasing? And how many? I was thinking of getting flannel wipes on Amazon the other day but didn't want spend more before the holidays.
I'm a bad teacher. my students are so wound up today that I am throwing in the towel and threw on Elf for them to watch. Next is polar express and if there is time after we will watch Charlie Brown christmas
I woke up starving! Then remembered I need to go to the lab for my GTT. I have Kaiser so no appt needed, but I've been putting it off and today is the only time I have a sitter in the morning. Sitting here waiting for these last 10mins to pass. I just want to eat already.

@tunnel I'm right there with you on the acid reflux. The choking bit is the worst when you just can't hack up that little bit of acid that's stuck in your throat. Ugh! I was coughing up/crying in the bathroom sink a couple of nights ago. Last night, I popped some Tums and slept in a more upright position and didn't have any issues. FX that your diet change keeps that ick at bay!
GL to everyone taking their GTTs today and FX to those waiting on results.
Today is D's last day in the office for the year. He gets to WFH for the next two weeks. Yay! Since I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow (OMG!), the last of my activity restrictions will be lifted. Hopefully, the weather cooperates and we can hit the trail behind our place and go for some nice, long walks.
@peeppeeppeep he's doing much better! Thank you for asking! He has to be on medication for the next 7 days but he should be just fine. He's currently snuggling in my lap
5) Something got into me this morning. I have already cleaned the kitchen, main bathroom, done two loads of dishes and laundry. I just need to do my room and that's it for today lol. I hope this is my energy returning.
29 weeks today!
I was feeling GOOD about getting up before my alarm AND starting a load of laundry before I went to work - then I read this Please send some of your motivation my way! My house could use it
I am staff at a college - and today is the first day with NO students. I think I am going to play Christmas music, bump, and MAYBE clean my office today instead of get anything important done. I am just SO glad to have some peace and quiet

Today I get to fly home to MN to see my family. So excited!

Going to the mall today to finally get the Christmas gifts. It's going to be a madhouse and I'm not looking forward to it. But...Cinnabon.
Good luck with the appointments today ladies and have a wonderful Friday!
