Appointments: A/S on Thursday!!
Happy/Crappy: Happy - the state fair is going on now. Food, yum! Crappy - pregnancy brain is getting the best of me this week, and it's only Tuesday. Wah!
GTKY- What was your first job? I worked at Hollywood Video (I miss video stores!) It was the best job for a high school student who loved to watch movies - free rentals (and discount on purchases) and could watch new releases the Thursday before they came out. I loved it!
Symptoms: It seems like my RLP gets especially bad when I am really gassy, like the gas puts pressure on the rest of my joints in that region. Last night was especially painful.
Appointments: I had a check-up yesterday and I have my A/S a week from today!
Happy: It' raining today and I love the rain! Finally got to break out the maternity tights and they are sooo comfortable.
Crappy: It was my husband's bday last night, so I was out late with him and his friends celebrating, and now I'm tired. And yes, still gassy.

Happy/Crappy: Happy - Today is my 30th birthday! Crappy - I slept horribly last night.
GTKY- What was your first job? I babysat for friends&family starting when I was like 13 or 14. I think my first job other than babysitting was being a hostess and busser at a Chinese restaurant in town that my friend worked at. Their crunchy noodles are still amazing!

Crappy: Still have this rash, and it's driving me crazy.
GTYK. My first job was working in a toy store my mom had been I was like 8.

GTKY- What was your first job? My first job was at HEB (grocery store) I started as a bagger and made my way to cosmetics cashier. Loved it!

I worked at a video store too! In college though, so it wasn't my first job. But- it was really easy and I liked watching movies in the store We weren't supposed to play anything more than PG but I'd always cheat and push it to PG-13- ha!
Feb '16 Siggy Challenge: Favorite Thing About Fall: Haunted Houses and Scary Movies!
Symptoms - Diarrhea. I don't know if it's pregnancy related or something more. It's been coming and going for 2.5 weeks, and I haven't discovered a pattern yet. My MS is the best it's been, but something still triggers it once a day or so.
Appointments - dr apt and AS two weeks from yesterday
Happy - Had a great morning with my kids.
Crappy - DH is out of town for a week again, starting today. Glad we got off on a good foot without him (DS1 is sad when he goes) but I'm still kind of dreading the week.
Symptoms: Just started to experience some foot swelling now and again and Acid Reflux at night. I never had it before but there was no mistaking what it was... my chest felt tight, and I felt like I needed to throw up or burp-- but it wasn't coming from my stomach-- it was from my esophagus so that's why I think it was reflux. Felt like there was food in there. Gross.
Appointments: Have a checkup on Monday the 21st. She'll go over the results of the anatomy scan, but I already know everything was normal
Happy/Crappy:
Crappy: I have massive writer's block at work today!!!
GTKY- What was your first job?
Babysitting, technically-- but my first real, real job was at Modell's Sporting Goods the summer before my senior year of high school.
Feb '16 Siggy Challenge: Favorite Thing About Fall: Haunted Houses and Scary Movies!
Symptoms: I have been so tired this week, but i think it's because i might be coming doing with a cold or maybe it's all the smoke in the air from fires...i'm not sure. I've also needed to eat like a trucker!
Appointments: A/S next week
Happy/Crappy: I just can't think straight so i don't feel like i have anything.
GTKY- What was your first job? My first job was with a catering company when i was 14. I helped clean up tables and set up, stuff like that. It was pretty fun.
P.S. It sounds like the next couple of week are going to be fun with all the A/S coming up! I can't wait to hear what everyone has to say! Good Luck!
Symptoms: Baby brain bad. My energy is slowly coming back and we're crossing our fingers that my sex drive is right behind it.
Appointments: I was supposed to have an ultrasound last Thursday. I called to confirm my appointment (thank goodness) and found out that the hag who does the checkouts/follow up appointments at my OB never entered it into the system. She's always rude and always finds a way to make you feel guilty about your appointment time. Every other woman in my family has the same problem with her. So that frustrating. I now have a check up next Monday.
Happy/Crappy: Happy: We had a beautiful weekend and I got to get out and enjoy it. Crappy: Kidney stone/UTI/ both. Went to an urgent care clinic yesterday for antibiotics. Hopefully they help the pain. If it's just a kidney stone trying to wiggle out, I'll just have to suck it up. Joy.
GTKY- What was your first job? I was a nanny and private tutor all through jr high and high school. My first "real" job was working as the secretary for my high school football coaches. I loved it. I'm a teacher now.

Crappy: Tying in with the symptoms, just don't feel good ;( GTKY- What was your first job? Technically babysitting like a lot of others, but my real job was working at a pizza shop. It was awesome. I loved all the people and got to make up some awesome foods to try.
Weeks/Fruit: 19 weeks / mango Symptoms: some RLP, fatigue, and now I have a cold-type thing going on and it suuuucks Appointments: Had the anatomy scan 2 days ago and we have to go back in 3 weeks because he wasn't cooperating and they couldn't get all the measurements needed Happy/Crappy: Happy: we get to see little man again in 3 weeks, our crib and dresser have shipped faster than we planned, H is working diligently to get the nursery painted and some other projects completed before the furniture arrives.
Crappy: My Co-irker doesn't know how to cover her mouth when she coughs and her germs have migrated over to my cube and now I have a sore throat and spent half the night awake because I couldn't stop coughing. GTKY- What was your first job? I worked for a party rental store starting when I was 14 -unless you count "helping" make the donut holes at my dad's DD when I was 3
I am a day late, I have been off of TB for the last couple of days and trying to catch up.
Weeks/Fruit: 19 weeks / mango
Symptoms: Hungry, tired, random aches and pains.
Appointments: Consultation on the 28th re: my platelet disorder to see if they will let me attempt natural delivery or schedule a c-section so they can cauterize if needed. I'm prepared to accept whatever they to keep me and baby healthy.
Happy: Finally took announcement photos that I will post to social media on Friday.
Crappy: There is some kind of cold or bug going around, a couple of coworkers and a ton of patients have been sick. I am washing my hands and sanitizing the crap out of everything constantly. Do not appreciate sharing.
GTKY- I bagged groceries and pushed carts at a local grocery store. It kind of sucked really, but I still have friends that I made there 12 years ago. We like to joke that nothing forges friendships like the hellfire of a shitty job.
