Re: Weekly Randoms go here...
You may be surprised that DH ate zero corn nuggets. Happy wife, happy life.

I feel this so hard lately. My H has been fishing a lot so it's just me and my kids. 3.5 and 16 months. I could really use a break man. Plus DD's preschool has a break for the next two weeks due to finals and new students. (She goes at our high school and has high schoolers as teachers as well as a normal instructor) so this momma is going to need a break!
Totally random but this was on my mind earlier today: there was a thread a while back about what to wear for newborn photos, and a few moms were saying stuff to the effect of wow it's so brave to be in the newborn photos, I would never, I look so bad after giving birth. It bummed me out so badly. Ladies, make sure there are lots of photos of you with your newborn and your kid at every point in their life. They're not for you. They're not glamour shots. They're for your kids, and when they look back at them, all they will see is their smiling, loving parents, not your tummy or the bags under your eyes.
I always wonder how often I'd have to post to make it on that weekly leader board on the side of the screen. Is that how it works? You get points for how often you post?
Today I forgot my Diclectin so I'm too queasy to crave anything.
ETA: DH says he won't get the sloppy joe mix Bc it will be too hard on my stomach and the OB said BRAT diet!!
My random at the moment: I'm bitter that my fun "you shouldn't do that thread" got completely shit on.

In other news, DH and I started our BRU registry. He went a little trigger happy with the scanner.....
Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!
@VikingGirl12 I'm really so sorry, but you're at the end, if it's a virus, it should be 48 hrs max and you should be almost done vomiting. Don't worry too much about water quantity and focus instead. on balancing electrolytes. Drink smart water, Gatorade, or pedialyte. There are pedialyte Popsicles. I was only able to take small sips or eat tiny pieces and every 30 minutes they come up anyway.
I was done throwing up in 24 hrs, but still nauseous and not full speed for the next 24. Ate and drank very little. Are you on the BRAT diet? (Bananas, rice, applesauce, toast), nothing fatty. My OB said to drink Gatorade and eat BRAT foods. I sipped chicken broth for some protein, but I still couldn't keep down rice yesterday so my diet is still limited. FWIW- OB was not at all concerned about LO as these viruses are short lived. If you think it's too violent, not passing, or food borne- call the OB or head to the ER just to make sure you are ok.
I did end up calling the hospital and spoke to the midwife on call. She told me to drink as much Gatorade as possible and to eat Popsicles, even if it just comes back out. If the cramping and diarrhea didn't stop by tonight to come to L&D. I sent my poor sick husband out To Walmart. We both devoured Popsicles when he got home and drank a bunch of Gatorade. We have both held it down for over an hour and I took a Tylenol and I feel soooo much better!!!
Thanks!!!
Thanks! It's been a lot of work so far (mostly for DH because baby is limiting my participation) and there's still quite a ways to go, but it'll feel so good to finally have it done. Worth it in the end.
@mrsschmity - I'm jealous of your pizza right now. I ordered a great chicken salad from a salad place nearby (with crasins, mandarin oranges, Parmesan and tons of veggies and balsamic) but immediately upon ordering it I wished I had gotten pizza instead.
