    After a four day weekend I am having an extremely hard time getting back into the work flow!

    Ditto having trouble getting back into a work mindset, especially with our first appointment on Wednesday and another 4.5 day weekend coming up!

    I'm so exhausted even though I've been sleeping a lot - nodded off a few times at my desk after lunch!

    I'm having the opposite problem... I'm off today and I can't stop feeling guilty about it! I keep checking email/texts to make sure there haven't been any emergencies that have come up.

    Although I will confess that it hasn't stopped me from taking a 2 hour nap today. This exhaustion has hit me hard...

    i'm craving baby carrots & ranch dressing so badly i actually just sent my assistant at work to the grocery store.  these food cravings are so intense, but the payoff for eating something i've been fantasizing about is akin to what i assume it's like to eat while high- so profoundly delicious and gratifying.

    We're supposed to go to a holiday party tonight.... I don't feel good and don't want to go, the nausea sucks!
    Luckily it's snowing and turning to sleet so I have a reason to not go, thank you Wisconsin weather

    Do you guys stalk other month's boards? I've spent most of my work day reading what's going on with July, June, May, April....I need to get a life.

    We have been having a brutal ice storm ALL day! It is freezing and windy. If you go outside it pelts the side of your face. Horrible!!!

    @mimihatesyou I have been craving salad with ranch dressing CONSTANTLY. I ate 3-4 plates of it for dinner the other night. DH is shocked because with DS I basically had the diet of a toddler for the first 4 months (pizza, grilled cheese, no veggies) but this time is so different!

    I'm also kind of jealous of the ladies with wintery weather. It's been so warm for this time of year up in the northeast. I know I'll probably be kicking myself for saying this in a month or so but I would really love some snow!

    @mrsmd1224 I stalk June and Julys board. Mainly because I can't handle all these repetitive threads about if we are tired. Yes, yes I am tired. It's Monday, maybe I'm being a bit harsh.

    @Lynnlove28 hahaha yes, x100. There have been a lot of those- I guess everyone's nerves are a bit frayed with being in the middle of the first Tri. I've also noticed that the drive by posters are the worst offenders. Hello, there is another post identical to yours three posts down...read before posting!

    Also I think it's fun and also slightly scary to peek at what's ahead- I looked at the newborn 0-3 mo board yesterday, that was a little anxiety-inducing but awesome at the same time.

    I am obsessed with raw peppers these days. Orange seem to be my fave. And now, thanks to @mimihatesyou and @Bookhousegirl, I want to smother them in ranch dressing but I don't have any :-(

    Also, just confirmed the appt for my first ultrasound on Wednesday (at 8w3d). It's getting real!

    Same on the ranch dressing. That and I've eaten almost a jar of pickles today. But REALLY, how am I supposed to name this kid??? I feel like DH and I will never agree on a name.

    @alyssajrob22 have you gone over to the baby name board? I've gotten a lot of good ideas from just lurking around over there.

    I am staaaaaarving. All day. Finally. I wasn't able to eat for the first couple of weeks. But I'm so very lazy that I just ordered a giant grilled chicken salad so that I didn't have to get up. Online ordering is my favorite thing in the world.

    @Bookhousegirl I have a little bit, but not recently. Going through our baby name book first to see if I can find something.

    My craving is Caesar salad. I really just want to drench croutons in dressing.

    We ordered pizza from my favorite place tonight, and it was just OK. Usually it's the best thing ever.

    Thankful for the horrible weather. I woke up horribly sick and my boss said to stay home due to road conditions. I felt much better after a couple more hours of laying down and dozing.

    And I'm off tomorrow! I'm telling my boss next Monday and have been worried about hiding my sickness. So a 3 day work week is sure to help!

    As for food. I was craving Chinese BAD. Made a new recipe and it sucked. So bad. I very rarely dislike new recipes I choose. I wanted to cry but knew I was being insane. DH even volunteered to get me food but I said no! And ate disappointing ramen. Which did help my belly issues lol

    My body does not know how to deal with 2nd shift. Nausea normally hits in the evening and I'm normally home so it's fine but it is so hard to work through this. I'm a phlebotomist so I have to keep moving even though I want to puke all over these patients.

    I feel so nauseous all the time and it's gotten to the point where I can't eat anything unless I'm specifically craving it. Thinking of food - any food - that I'm not craving actually makes me start dry heaving. All I've been craving is boxed macaroni and cheese. That's not healthy at all! I feel terrible for eating just that the past couple days... I hope this passes soon.

    Also, I LOVE coffee normally. But drinking it, smelling it and even thinking about it makes me puke. I need at least 4 ounces of coffee a day in order to not get headaches. I'm hoping this passes soon too...

    And I feel like it's way too early for pregnancy brain, yet I can't remember anything! For example, I've watched one of my favorite shows hundreds of times and I suddenly can't remember how it ends.

    @JournoGrl23 SAAMMMEEE WITH THE PREGNANCY BRAIN!!! Last week I literally drove past the highway exit to my house causing a 30 min detour to get home. That stuff is REAL

    @saam0815 Oh no! I'm sorry for the 30 minute detour. But I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this!

    This evening I had about a half a brick of cheese and 5 or 6 green olives for dinner. Calcium and vegetables, right? I'm calling that a healthy meal.

    Almost went through a stop light tonight, in a residential area with all stop signs! I've taken this exact same road home from work for 8 years. My mind is wandering
