Happy New Year!!!!

Now we can officially say that we will meet our babies THIS year!

SJ7108 · January 2015

Im 27 today!! Still in bed and its 9am.. I'm starving but I was hoping DH would continue our breakfast in bed tradition for birthdays so I have been waiting for him to get up. Clearly not happening. Him and DD are knocked out next to me. Family coming later to cut a bday cake for me and then probably take out for dinner since we can't go out because DD is sick.

ETA: Happy New Year ladies!

Woke up at 4:30 this morning and apparently DH had been sleeping in the recliner all night with DS2 because every time he'd lay down he'd start crying. DH finally tried to pass him off on me at 5:15 so he could leave for work and it wasn't happening.

I'm a stickler I guess. I just told him to lay him down and let him cry (he's 19 months). He cried for a good 20 minutes and fell asleep. Both boys are still sleeping. That would be great except I have a pounding headache. Boo!

Happy Birthday, @SJ7108‌!

Thanks @amc2511‌

I'm trying to determine if my nausea has turned to vomiting at 11 weeks, or if I have a stomach bug. Either way, not a great way to start the year. Today is my mom's bday and I had planned to spend the day with her. Doesn't look like that's happening now.

My SIL just did a new years eve announcement that she's pregnant, due August 2015! We are so flippin excited for them (this is #2 they have been wanting) and that we will have cousins exactly the same age! I was hoping for this, I only wish they lived closer!

caymarks · January 2015

I've been eating peppermints like crazy and I had a dream that one of the tests at my OB office tested positive for high doses of peppermint. Don't know what that means but it kind of freaked me out on eating more.

RWPhoenix · January 2015

Everyone slept in until 8:30. DH has the day off so we are planning a relaxing, clean up day. Plan on taking it slow since I'm feeling cruddy. Also we announced on FB today so we got that going for us. Happy 2015 ladies!

yelah250 · January 2015

Today I'll be caulking the built in my husband made. And doing some painting with the respirator on. Haaaaappppppyyy New Year! (Starting to hate my hobby)

yelah250 · January 2015

My mt. Everest today. Lol

apbogan · January 2015

On the way to our get together last night my 15 yo decides to be a total uncharacteristic brat and set me off to where I was sobbing uncontrollably for at least 20 minutes which started her crying and poor dh had to stop at a convenient store for tissues. I couldnt calm myself down. Needless to say my night was spent on the couch, dozing off by 9:30, and we headed back home by 11. Now my eyes are swollen and I feel hungover. I seriously contemplated a glass of wine and a cigarette with the girls last night but glad I didn't.

Looking forward to the usual pork, black eyed peas and collards at dad's today though. Happy 2015

BeachMom15 · January 2015

Happy 2015! This is our year! I think I felt my best I have in a while last night, surprisingly made it till midnight! I think because I was so excited for 2015 to arrive, the year we all get to see our babies!

tigerlynx31413 · January 2015

DD and I made it past midnight last night. We were at a friend's and I wasn't sure she was going to make it towards the end. Then since she is still sick (congested) she woke up 6 times between 2 am and 6:30 with coughing/crying fits. I got up to comfort her 4 of the 6 times and now I'm exhausted.
I just got a call from MIL to see if I want to bring DD over early (we're going over for dinner) to play with her one cousin who will only be there for lunch. I have no idea what I want to do.

dancingbelle · January 2015

Happy New Year!

And Happy Birthday, @SJ7108‌ !

I made it to midnight (and beyond!) last night. However, I'd had a raging headache the entire evening! I really wanted to tough it out and let it go away on its own, but I finally took one Tylenol a little after midnight (we still had a few friends hanging out at our house). Not thinking, I was on a completely empty stomach! So, I bid goodnight to our friends, and DH entertained them until about 2:00!

One awesome thing I woke up to: my friend from high school has an amazing kids boutique (and I don't think I can share the name here but she does super cute onesies and bows!) and last night she posted a drawing for a $50 gift card. This morning I found out I won! I am so excited! I've had my eye on several things in her shop!!

Emeraldeyed315 · January 2015

We stayed out until 1:30am last night and had a great time with friends. The party theme was pajamas. Genius. DD also slept in until 9:30!

We all have colds today so we are continuing to wear the pajamas all day.

jgrace82 · January 2015

I made it to like 3:330am!!! Totally loving the fact that I'm not hungover today!

mamma2layla13 · January 2015

Happy New Years! I didn't make if till midnight and threw up all my dinner. DH and I had intentions on staying up but I was asleep before 10

it also snowed here yesterday which it has never done in my lifetime. It was a New Years miracle!

emiwalk · January 2015

I've been super inactive on here for the past week. So much going on.

Oh, and I definitely didn't make it to midnight last night. Fell asleep on my husband reading on the couch around 9:30. The sleep was glorious.

monkeydilla · January 2015

Good morning, ladies! Hope everyone had a great night. I was in bed before 10, but DH and I had some last minute 2014 sexy time! Woke up this morning, and I think I have an ear infection. I see a trip to Urgent Care in my future today. Boo. Other than that, we're probably going to take down our Christmas stuff and watch movies all day!

wells2010 · January 2015

my husband is out running a 10K (a tradition of his). I ate a bagel with tomato and cream cheese, fell back to sleep, and am now on the couch watching Doc McStuffins with DD. So happy to have a lazy day!

I do feel hungover... I usually don't stay up past 1030/11! I also worked a 16 hr shift yesterday. I'm sure that has something to do with this headache!

Not feeling nauseous today! So great!

Hoping to have some take out chinese for dinner. We haven't had any in a very long time.

jrcl14 · January 2015

Officially moved into the second trimester today- which has me feeling relieved and much less nervous. Today's far less positive randoms include... My skull has been throbbing with the worst headache for the past 14 hours, DH did not handle himself in a gracious manner last night and I won't be DD'ing him again for a long while, and my 21 year old sister had people over until 4am. Oh and one of her guests puked on the floor of the bathroom outside my bedroom and I stepped in it barefoot while brushing my teeth. Can you tell I'm starting 2015 in a glorious mood?! Finally caved, took Tylenol, and climbed back in bed.

crector421 · January 2015

13 hour drive home from Lake Tahoe today. And I'm soooo annoyed because SO had to leave our hotel at 3 to pick up his friends from an after party and he didn't get home until after 6 because one of his friends had left the venue and didn't say where he went!!!! Took 2 hours to find him wandering around outside in 10* weather. And once they got home, the other friend proceeded to snore soooo loud so I didn't get sleep after that. And I have the first 3 hour driving shift and I feel like shit.

petrichor14 · January 2015

Happy New Year, guys!

We went out to our favorite Indian restaurant and ate a bunch of spicy food and it was AMAZING. The evening actually started off poorly when I told DH I was going to have a half a beer at midnight to celebrate and he threw a fit about it. In the end, I ate way too much and had no interest in drinking anything, and we fell asleep around 11.

Today I am planning to chill on the couch and snuggle the dog, and maybe start taking down the Christmas tree. DH wants us to go on a hike, but it's in the 30s- so no. We announced on FB this morning, so that was fun. Oh! And I had cupcakes for breakfast.

RWPhoenix · January 2015

DH got my a blueberry protein smoothie last night and right now I'm sipping it slowly, hoping it stays down. I'm a little nervous that I have lost weight and still feel nauseous at almost 15 weeks.

lindylogana · January 2015

I wish I could take down the Xmas stuff today. Normally I drag my feet but for some reason this year I'm ready to have my house back together the way it was. Unfortunately MIL wants to come over and see all of the decorations along with the new toys the kids got so I won't be able to take stuff down until Saturday. Boo.

usermovedon · January 2015

I made it to midnight under protest and was asleep by 10 after. Thankfully the neighbors stopped their fireworks around then because our dogs were a nervous wreck.

Today it's football, snacks, and putting all my fancy dishes that have been boxed up for years in my new China cabinet I scored at a steal from our local buy/sell site. I'm giddy about it.

@DarcyHermione‌ and @RWPhoenix‌ I'm so sorry you're feeling so sick. FX it gets better soon!

bim38106 · January 2015

Our girls slept in until 10:30 today, and I got to sleep in until 11! I don't think I've done that in *years*!!

c-elizabethf · January 2015

Was with family and stayed at the in laws. We didn't go to sleep until 1 and right as I'm falling asleep dd starts screaming and it took me an hour and a half or so to get her down. So I didn't go to bed until 2:30 and I'm exhausted. On a normal day I go to bed around 9.

mrsklm09 · January 2015

My FIL is driving me nuts. Long story short we are moving 14 hours away next week. So for NYE we agreed to go away with DHs family to a place where his parents have a business and a second home (so they spend a lot of time there). FIL wants to take DD and my niece to see my other SIL's future MIL (confusing I know, but they can see each other pretty much whenever) 15 minutes before nap time. DH put his foot down and said no, so now FIL is annoyed with us. We made a 3 hour trip (and are spending 2 nights away) when we had tons of stuff to do just to spend time with family but it's not good enough because we're not on FIL's schedule. End rant...

Happy New Years ladies!

c-elizabethf · January 2015

Also my dd kept following my dh's cousins girlfriend around, she's really sweet and is a good friend. Well she is pretty short and kept holding dd. So my dh's grandmother was telling her she didn't have to hold her because dd can get heavy. Well I said yeah I know how that feels when she will never let me put her down, and his grandmother said yeah but so and so is a lot smaller then you. I'm not sure if she was talking about our height difference and it came out wrong or if she was talking about weight. My feelings got hurt and I actually teared up in the bathroom because I'm a baby. Anyways that's my pity party for the day.

rachacre · January 2015

Well I made it will past midnight unwillingly. This cold/sinus thing I have is making me miserable and all night I had the kind of scratchy throat that if you cough you dry heave. So I sat up in bed eating cough drops like candy and drinking tea until I finally took some plain cough syrup hoping it would coat my throat. I eventually fell asleep around 3 and woke up at 9 and have been laying in bed since. I really don't want to do anything today but I know FI will have plans. Ugh.

Brummy14 · January 2015

I was asleep by 8:30 last night. We have one kiddo with a 102 fever, and the other about 48 hours behind her on the symptom train. I'm going into work tomorrow, and I'm actually ready. I feel like I've done nothing by eat out the past two weeks and I'm kinda feeling the repercussions. Time to get back into the old routine!

@DarcyHermione Ugh that fucking sucks, I really hope you start feeling better soon. And like PP said, your body will prioritize baby and they will take whatever nutrients they need from you.

@monkeydilla FX that it's not an ear infection! I hope you feel better soon.

@cgiles120812 Old ladies are the worst about saying things that are NOT okay! My grandma used to pull that crap all the time. Try not to take it too hard, I'm sure she meant it differently than you took it. Plus you are adorable!

Thank you that's sweet, my mil said the same thing about dh's grandmother. Apparently she's known for saying rude comments and doesn't realize it.

munchkinsmama · January 2015

I don't want to be at work today

( hope everyone is enjoying their day off, this weekend can't come soon enough.

Danious · January 2015

Went out with a few friends last minute. DH had to be up early to work today so he was crashing by 8 and it was just gonna be me hanging out with my pregnancy insomnia.
So glad I went. I've been feeling like poop lately and it was nice to have an excuse to dress up a little and go out. I even got hit on, which upped my seriously waning confidence.

It was a good night with some fun people. And they loved having a dd. /:)

abcdefghijk12345678 · January 2015

What a crazy dream, @sassycassieb‌! I can't remember the specifics of some of the dreams I've had recently, but I know there have been several mornings that I've woken up totally pissed off at DH based on what's happened in my dreams.

I think it's perfectly normal for things to feel different during this time. Sometimes I feel insecure and feel like I'm not as "close" to DH because our sex life has slowed down since my BFP. There's a lot of changes going on right now for us, physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, etc.

As for you not feeling confident and attractive at the moment, it sounds like a little pampering might be in order! Maybe if you're feeling a little better one day, you could go get your hair cut? I hardly ever get mine cut (once ever 6 months-2 years, and even then it's at a $10/haircut place), but when I do, it feels so much fuller and lighter, and it makes me feel pretty. I too have been spending most of my time in PJs lately, but whenever I leave the house, I make an effort to look nice, and something about dressing up a little makes me feel better, even if I'm nauseous and have a headache! Perhaps you could try some little things like this and see if it helps make you feel better about things as well? What works for you might be different than what works for me, but I'm sure you will find something that makes you feel more like yourself again!

Okay so last night I had a dream that I left DH and one of my best friends alone at my aunt's house (it was Christmas dinner or something?) and I guess when I left I said something that made them think I gave them permission to sleep together. So when I returned DH was no where to be found but my bff was like "We did it! It was great." and I was all confused and then figured out that they had sex and she was so earnest about thinking that I had wanted them to that I felt like I couldn't get upset? And then DH showed up and I took everything out on him.

It was so weird and vivid that I'm actually still mad at DH and my friend even though obviously it was a fucking dream and my crazy pregnant brain made it happen. I think I'm feeling nervous about a lot of things. We don't have sex nearly as much anymore although I do try to keep it around once a week even if I'm not feeling it. More than just the sex, though, I just don't feel attractive anymore. I haven't had a haircut or my nails done since the wedding, I wear pajamas pretty much 24/7 now between being on break and being sick. Ugh. I don't know. I'm not feeling super confident anymore.
I had some seriously ridiculous dreams last night. Novel worthy. I'm trying not to let them bother me but they were just so weird and like...real. It sounds like you need a me day to get your confidence back! Take some time for yourself, but also give yourself a break! I am sure your DH doesn't even remotely think that about you. We are our worst critics.

Right?! If it wasn't so so realistic I would just forget about it but they are just so damn vivid.

I agree with you, I need to get a fucking haircut and stop sulking around. I plan to start walking everyday now that I'm feeling better (as far as nausea and exhaustion) but this stupid cold won't go away and it's making me super bummed.

I'm also secretly afraid about getting super huge and just being a giant blimp for the rest of my pregnancy. I'm only supposed to gain 15 and I haven't gained any, but I can't stop googling pictures of twin bumps and being afraid of what I'll look like at my shower or after giving birth. I know it's superficial, but I'm afraid.

OH MY GOD WHO AM I? I NEVER HAVE THESE PROBLEMS.

You're a normal person. Don't worry about it.

You will not be a giant blimp. I just lost 20 lbs before my BFP and I still had some more that I wanted to lose. It's all about making yourself feel better. Start walking, go to a spa, do your nails. Do something to make yourself feel pretty. And don't worry about your husband. You did this together so he will understand. Also, make sure you're communicating with him and telling him "I don't feel that great today". I totally get not feeling in the mood and doing it anyway just to have some intimacy. I haven't felt much like doing anything either. And I haven't shaved my legs either. Just remember to take things one day at a time. And you're amazing.

anfranklin2 · January 2015

So jealous of everyone sleeping in today! I had full intentions but my pager went off at 655 and I went in about 20 minutes later. Felt like I set up those surgeries in my sleep, and now I'm back home praying to won't go off again.

thiscoffeechick · January 2015

I was in charge of dessert last night for our 3-couple potluck party and I made a Pinterest-worthy fondue with ALL the dippers and chocolate/peanut butter dip. We were too full to eat it until after midnight but it was perfect for the drunkies!
