rant: all I wanted was egg and cheese on a bagel. my husband got it for me and the cheese wasn't melted the egg was cold and it was soaked in pepper lol
Pretty good today, aside from the start of a cold creeping in (ew).
Rants/Raves?
I found "Preggie Pop Drops" yesterday to help with nausea...I was so happy! These should help me survive the middle of the day nausea that often hits me. And I managed to get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep last night! It wasn't much, but it was an improvement...so I'll take it!
GTKY: What is your favorite way to unwind or relax?
It used to be a hot bath & a glass of red wine, lol...now I've been enjoying just putting on comfy clothes & either crawling into bed or under a blanket on the couch & watching something good on TV. It's nice to mentally clock out for a bit.
How are you feeling? Still doing okay, actually woke up in the mood to have sex today for the first time in awhile... DH was happy about that!
Rants/Raves: I have so much homework to do and all I want to do is eat left over candy and binge watch Netflix. Thank god I'll be done with this program on December 14th!!!
GTKY: Favorite? Mani & Pedi. Most realistic? Take out and watching mindless TV.
How are you feeling: a wave of nausea here and there, tired, but mostly good.
Rants/Raves: Ugh every show or movie I watch has someone drinking wine! It's only been 2 weeks, but I miss it so much. Last night I had a dream I caved and had a glass. I try the NA sparkling wine, but it's s poor substitute. Why has no one invented an NA wine that tastes like real wine! Before I got the BFP, I was drinking NA beer and it wasn't terrible.
GTKY: a glass of wine and a mindless movie. I am getting a massage today, I'm excited about that!
How are you feeling? Overall pretty decent. Boobs and nips are a bit more tender, lots of stretching and twinges happening, lack of energy/appetite, tired.
Rants/Raves? Rant: I just sat down to try and get a couple of eggs and toast in my belly...when our dog decides to throw up. There goes any appetite I did have. Rave: Pregnant sex is awesome. For almost a month my cervix has been so sensitive and sex was super uncomfortable. Not anymore!
GTKY: What is your favorite way to unwind or relax? Spending time in my home gym, cozying up in some comfy clothes with H on the couch with movies and pizza.
How are you feeling? I feel like I've had a week long hangover this week - and have to go back to work tomorrow after a week off - not sure how I will hide it!
Rants/Raves? Have manager to exercise slightly more this week as haven't been at work
GTKY: What is your favorite way to unwind or relax? Having a nap on the sofa!
How are you feeling? Eh. Woke up okay. Then nausea set it. Ate toast and an egg, felt better. Took a nap (yup, right after breakfast) and now I'm feeling naseous again.
Rants/Raves? Just found out my mom never was nauseous when she was pregnant with me or my brother and kind of pissed about that. She keeps telling me to be grateful for it. What is it with people being excited or telling me to be happy for feeling like I'm going to puke all day?
GTKY: What is your favorite way to unwind or relax? It was a nice glass of wine which is off the table. Now it's settling down with a mug of hot chocolate and a good book.
How are you feeling? Overall good. Sore nips, blumpy, tired.
Rants/Raves? Took down the Halloween decoration this morning. Upside? Even though we had boatloads of trick or treaters last night, we still have a whole bunch of candy left. Score!
GTKY: What is your favorite way to unwind or relax? Good tv/book, PJs, hot chocolate, couch.
How far along are you? 5w3d

@crdo DH was so worried about all the kiddos taking all our candy, that he hid a stash without me realizing, lol. I swear he kept more for himself/us than we gave out to trick or treaters. I told him I thought that was cruel...but I'm pretty thankful for it today! Leftover candy while being KU is a definite win!

Haha, good thinking on your DH's part! Gotta have a good KU candy stash!
I told my DH that he's going to have to take *some* of the leftover candy to work, otherwise I'm serving halloween candy instead of pumpkin pie when we host Thanksgiving.
Rants/Raves? Told some immediate family this weekend. That was fun. My mom didn't believe me. Then I had to put our 19 yet old kitty down today. My mom came up with her to visit and she wasn't going to make the drive home. think she had a seizure in the middle of the night.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to unwind or relax? Comfy pants, or no pants, no bra, and sleep.
@KOR121 losing a pet is never easy. Everyone I know treats their pet as part of their family, so I can imagine how difficult it must be to lose two in a short period of time.
Agreed! I thought I was starting to get at least some of my energy back last week. Nope. Last night I slept for 8 hours and have taken two naps so far today in between cleaning and baking. I haven't been this tired in a very long time lol most definitely worth it though hoping we get to see him or her at my next appt on the 16th!
I'm so damn tired! It's hard to get out of bed. It's crazy. Also one minute starving, the next, no thanks. I haven't thrown up at all, but having bowel issues. I eat, then bathroom it is! Fun stuff. I'm ready for this 1st trimester to be over!
How are you feeling? Feeling okay. Tired all the time, mild waves of nausea that mostly feel like carsickness (minus puke), and acid reflux like CRAZY. Burping and uncomfortableness in my throat on and off all day and night. Thought acid reflux came later in pregnancy?! Also, mood swings seem to be calming down!
Rants/Raves? Can't wait for my first appointment and u/s in a week and a half! I just want to make sure everything is okay. This is my first pregnancy and it took my husband and I about 10 months of (fun!) trying. Thinking all the good thoughts!
What is your favorite way to unwind or relax? Netflix, sweatpants, and my puppy by my side.
How are you feeling? Utterly exhausted, starving all the time.
Rants/Raves? I'm sick of being hungry constantly! I eat and an hour or two later I'm starving again. If I don't eat, I feel queasy. It's a vicious cycle. I'm also tired of work. I have no energy and teaching all day is exhausting on a normal day. I wish pre-maternity leave was a thing, you know, 7 months early.....
GTKY: What is your favorite way to unwind or relax? Well it used to be having a yummy craft beer with my hubs or getting to bed early and using my hearing pad on my lower back to ease some aches after a long day. Can't do either anymore. Now it's bed early and play time with my puppy.
I am experiencing dizziness and fatigue. Nausea from time to time, but that's about it.
Rant/Rave: We went for a 2 hour walk today. I feel that entitles me to more halloween candy
Unwind: WINE. All of it. Nothing I love more than sitting on the back deck w my husband and a bottle of wine in the summer. So for now - I sleep....and watch Netflix.
Hoping everyone has a great week....despite how much I hate that tomorrow is Monday
arteduc8 I feel you on the teaching! EXHAUSTING! What do you teach? I teach kinder and I can barely make it through the days anymore. Plus, my patience is thin lately. Poor kiddos, lol.
How are you feeling? Surprisingly good. Boobs are sensitive and huge, maybe some nausea, def tired, but haven't had much of an appetite. Still thinking I'm not normal for lack of MS.
Rants/Raves? Pregnancy sex OMG! Don't know why, but it's been so amazing lately.
This bloat/non-regular bowels is driving me insane. I'm about to start drinking Metamucil to get my system moving already.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to unwind or relax? Cuddling up to my baby daddy and warm showers followed by pajamas.
Rants/Raves? I've only had a few bouts of nausea but the smells - OMG. I can't be around anything being cooked. Also tired of not being regular. I definitely have a baby bump......or more appropriately...a poop baby
GTKY: What is your favorite way to unwind or relax? Wine, dogs, DH and a good movie. Now, the same minus the wine.

Baby #2 Due 3/7/20
How are you feeling? Fine. Boobs are still tender and I've had occasional light spotting once a day over the past week.
Rants/Raves? I woke up feeling rested for a change! So that was nice. And I am escaping the day of football watching to go shopping with my step mom!
GTKY: What is your favorite way to unwind or relax? Elastic waist pants + book - people = perfection.

@DeePaddy24 boo on getting a cold, but yay for hopefully finding some relief with the preggie pops!

Yes! I was reading baby doubles in size this week so I am not looking forward to more energy loss. But totally worth it!
Except for panara's creamy tomato soup. I've been really into that, going to have to find a copycat recipe!
Agreed! I thought I was starting to get at least some of my energy back last week. Nope. Last night I slept for 8 hours and have taken two naps so far today in between cleaning and baking. I haven't been this tired in a very long time lol most definitely worth it though
