AW Wednesday

mrsschmity · November 2015

Alrighty, this week we decided to try out Attention Whore Wednesdays to switch things up a bit. This is where you can brag about whatever you want - whether it be something you accomplished, something somebody else did, or the fact that you simply put on pants today. Anything can be brag-worthy!

I've been an emotional mess this week leading up to our 7 week u/s. I'm so scared that the baby will have passed and i've been anxious and honestly a wreck.

DH bought me flowers. And snacks. And cooked dinner. And has been SO lovey dovey and supportive. I don't know what I would do without him right now.

I am going to attention-whore my husband, and cheese.

Thank you husband for cleaning up dinner last night without me asking while I was passed out on the couch at 7:30. And for being so understanding of my complete and utter exhaustion and not complaining about any of it. You the real MVP.

Thank you cheese, for being the one consistent food in my life since getting pregnant. I can always count on you to sound good at any time of the day.

That is all.

Read this while eating a cheese string. Literally the only thing in my house that sounded good this morning. Thank you, cheese!

I've had my new dog for 5 days now. I took her outside this morning in our un-fenced backyard off-leash. She came when I called her by her new name, she stopped at the property line when I asked, AND she peed in the yard. My dog is a genius. Thank heavens!!

This is a big deal because she apparently requires 3 (what?!) walks down the street in the morning before she'll even pee a little bit. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING. I don't know about you, but priority numero uno when I wake up is to pee. Not her--super weirdo. So anyway, this morning was major progress.

mrsschmity · November 2015

@crdo That is HUGE! So awesome. I remember when our dog was a puppy and we were house-training her. When she finally started going to the door when she needed to pee/poop instead of trying to find somewhere to go in the house, I almost cried.

They grow up so fast, don't they

Thanks! So relieved. My dog is 4, so we just have to train her to use our yard since she's already housebroken (phew).

A+ for training a puppy!! That's a lot of work and commitment, and I probably would have cried for the same reason!

@mrsschmity - while cheese was my go-to for the last 2 weeks, the past few days have been cheese-less because the thought of it is slightly repulsive now... WTF!

@crdo - Hooray for puppies (all dogs are puppies) doing what their told! I'm impressed by your dog's genius!

I'm going to AW my DH as well. He wouldn't let me do anything helpful on Sunday, instead he insisted that I nap... for 3 hours. The BEST! Then on Monday, he suggested going to a movie and eating not-fancy food for our anniversary so that I would enjoy it. This morning, he told me that he was making 2 dinners tonight. 1 for him because he wants to start eating healthier and 1 for me so that I don't have to eat gross veggies and don't have to pick out snacks from the pantry for dinner. WIN! He's seriously the best. And he keeps reading everything about pregnancy so that he knows what's going on with me. He's so cute...

#3 for AW-ing my husband. He has been amazing, he took over most of the chemical-related cleaning because he doesn't want me to inhale anything dangerous or accidentally touch something that later turns out to be dangerous but he's a bit of a germaphobe so using natural options is out of the question. It means I get out of cleaning the bathrooms which is a win for me.

He's also been amazing about making sure I have food I can eat. I was crazy nauseous the other night and the only thing that was remotely good sounding was soup which we didn't have. He went out to the store in the rain to get me a can of soup so I could get something and not risk puking all over the store. All around, he's been amazing with all this because, in his words, He's getting the baby that he has always wanted without having to go through any of the issues that I am and at least this way, he feels involved in it in some way.

@mrsschmity I am so jealous of your consistent love for cheese! I can do regular cheese, but any cheese with a sour/bitter flavor tastes awful! So I stick to Cheddar and Parmesean. And also, my DH was a rock star Monday night as I fell asleep on the couch :-)

I don't have much to AW, but the fact that I am glad my husband has been cooking dinner. Although he is still learning what smells I need to avoid (like hell no to tomato basil and chorizo).

My amazing husband came home yesterday with my new fav Starbucks drink and a tray of California rolls which I have been craving sooooooo bad! He also made Swedish meatballs, bought pumpkin pie, donuts... He is just the best!!!

satcher08 · November 2015

Today is my birthday and dh sent me a big teddy bear and a bouquet of flowers to work. He even made sure theyvhad my favorite lilies in them. Needless to say he did good.

WSU2015 · November 2015

So jealous of all you ladies who have husbands who are helping with cooking and cleaning! My DH won't cook or clean no matter how many times we've argued about it!

I'm going to have to go ahead and give myself a pat on the back right now. On Monday I took my LAST nursing school final. All I have to do to complete my program is finish my senior practicum which is 3 weeks of working side by side with a nurse in the hospital. My first day of practicum is tomorrow and I will be on the mother baby unit so I will get to see lots of brand new babies and their mommas! I officially graduate on Dec 12th and I will receive my BSN degree. It's been a long road getting here. I got pregnant with DS when I was 19 and I chose to take a year and a half off school so I could cherish all the firsts. I'm just so happy to be completing this chapter of my life!

AW to my nausea for being gone. I worked up the courage to not take my b6 the other morning and actually felt okay! Fx for those struggling with it still

goldie987 · November 2015

Okay I'm going to do a second one because I'm feeling very AW-ish right now, sorry. I did 3 loads of laundry (and folded it!), changed the sheets, cleaned the floors, and baked soft sugar cookies just for funsies (and didn't puke). I'm feeling oddly productive and not nauseated which is a bit unnerving but I'm guessing it'll be back in full force tomorrow so I'm having a productive day for once.

Aw-ing over for real this time.

PBear93 · November 2015

@Sgoldberg247 just reading everything you did made me tired. Go you!!!

I don't think I have anyone/thing to AWW.

meggyme · November 2015

I may not have been very productive, but I am being creative! Too lazy to go grocery shopping so I made a bunch of bean and cheese burritos for lunches and plan to repurpose some frozen stir fry veggies as a delicious topping for my ravioli tonight.

itsStackie · November 2015

I will AW my energy coming back. In the past two days I have gone through all DD's clothes (2T down) and sorted hand me downs to only three containers. I had four and at least 2 trash bags before.
I will also add to DH being amazing, I finally cooked dinner today, but it's probably been a week since I have.

Emztron500 · November 2015

Shout out to my husband for intervening when I was dramatically gagging while trying to change my toddler's diaper. Never had a gagging-with-disgust moment for the past 19 months of dealing with all manner of poop/puke catastrophes with her, but tonight I just could not deal.

MynaBird · November 2015

Guys, I ate two salads today. Made of actual vegetables. And did not puke either time. That makes up for three weeks of crackers and Popsicles, right?
