    -a lime! 

    How are you feeling?
    -Saturday I felt better than I had in months! It's been a rough few months! However, I came down with a stomach bug or something on Saturday night into Sunday.  I have never been so sick in all my life.  I almost went to the ER.

    -My mom came up this weekend to help out and it was perfect timing.  She was able to help with out 4yr old and even helped me get caught up on housework! 

    GTKY: Did you do anything special for Valentines Day? Did your Valentines Day go as you had hoped? 
    -Well I never left my bed except to vomit so I'd say I had a horrible Valentine's Day!!  I woke up feeling better this morning and just ate a bowl of cereal.  Let's hope the stomach bug is over and nobody else gets it!

    Lime

    How are you feeling? 
    Not great.  Nausea every evening and food aversions have gotten worse and I have a cold/sore throat.

    Rants/Raves/Randoms?  
    My NT scan is Wednesday morning and I'm terrified.  I'm praying that everything looks good.

    We are remodeling our bathroom so we spent the weekend doing that. DH met me for lunch on Friday and we went to one of our favorite places since we knew we weren't going to be able to do anything this weekend.

    Kidney bean

    How are you feeling? 
    Eh... I have no appetite and wicked sore boobs and some cramping.  Besides that, I'm good.

    We had out first u/s on friday.  It was a relief to hear the heartbeat.  Next u/s March 15 so we're back to waiting.

    GTKY: Did you do anything special for Valentines Day? Did your Valentines Day go as you had hoped? 
    We didn't do anything, which is fine by me.  We might go out next weekend instead and still trying to decide if it'll be a date night or if we'll bring the boys.

    How big is baby? Size of a Lime 

    How are you feeling? Pretty damn good actually. Sleepy in evenings.

    Rants/Raves/Randoms? Rant - my 18 month old never goes to bed. (Refer to previous question if your wondering why this is a problem) he's been breastfed since birth and refuses to let daddy put him so sleep so it can make for some frustrating evenings. 

    GTKY: Did you do anything special for Valentines Day? Did your Valentines Day go as you had hoped?  We went to see Deadpool - we don't ever make a big deal of valentines day but it was nice to get some alone time for a few hours.

    lime!!! That seems huge!

    How are you feeling?
    Way, way better. I cleaned my kitchen cabinets and washed all the windows this morning for the first time since getting pregnant :/ you can tell I'm feeling nearly back to my old self again.

    My current temporary boss sent me a meeting request for Tuesday morning to "update on some things". Things have been weird around work lately, we had someone walk away from a senior management position without notice a few months ago and those roles are hard to fill so we've been making things work since before Christmas. A coworker has been really bugging me to ask for a formal promotion since I already do a lot more than I should but I feel weird pushing for a promotion and then saying "by te way I'm leaving in Septmeber" a couple of weeks later. Still haven't decided what I'm going to do.

    We're in Ontario so this weekend is Valentines and Family day. We celebrate family day a lot more than valentines. DH bought me a card and some chocolates and I made cinnamon buns with strawberries for breakfast yesterday. Today is the family day holiday so once DS wakes up we're heading to a big winter carnival that I'm really excited about :)


  • How far along? 10 weeks! Hooray for double digits and being 1/4 of the way there. :)

    How big is baby? Prune/neon tetra fish

    How are you feeling? Worse than I was. Still
    exhausted and now I've been having horrible afternoon/evening nausea that will even wake me up. So grateful not to be puking, but maybe it would be a relief. I don't know. I also have had diarrhea the last few days. I don't know if it's a bug or just my body deciding to change it up from constipation. And room-clearing gas. Terrible. I didn't expect things to get worse at 10 weeks. I thought I might be on the upswing now. Alas. 

    Rants/Raves/Randoms? Just the above. Haha. And I'm excited to be less than 2 weeks from my next appointment. We'll go public once we hear that beautiful heart beat again. 

    GTKY: Did you do anything special for Valentines Day? Did your Valentines Day go as you had hoped? Nothing too special. I had to work in the afternoon. We exchanged nice cards and had cheesecake. And then I fell asleep while we watched a movie and went to bed at 9:30 feeling sick. Romance.

    How big is baby? Brussels sprout 

    How are you feeling? Not the best. Throwing up every day, fatigue, irritable, etc :( 

    Rants/Raves/Randoms? I have an appointment with my nurse midwife today. Woo! Hoping to hear everything is looking good in the hood. 

    GTKY: Did you do anything special for Valentines Day? Did your Valentines Day go as you had hoped? DH is in New York for work so I spent the day with my mom :)

    Prune

    How are you feeling?
     Not awful.  I get nausea pretty bad in the evenings, but I'm figuring out how to pace my eating to stave it off.  Still can't stay up past about 9, but at least I know I'm getting plenty of rest!

    Rants/Raves/Randoms?
    I have to go to a full day of professional development to learn about our new state standards tomorrow...except my master's program anticipated this and already covered all the material in detail.  No opt out, so I have to sit through a seminar full of teachers (who make THE WORST students...) to hear about things I already know.  But, then again, I'm not fully planned for the week yet, so I can hopefully sit near the back and get my work done.

    GTKY: Did you do anything special for Valentines Day? Did your Valentines Day go as you had hoped?
    It was very nice.  Played video games with DH, had salmon with rice a burre blanc sauce, salad, and homemade chocolate mousse, and watched Spinal Tap.  It was just the right balance of traditional romance and geeky nerd-fun for us. :smile:

  • I missed a few of these because bumping makes me feel nauseous, so I haven't been around a ton, but I'm a Monday lady! 

    I'm 10 weeks! 

    Feeling way way better than I did with my girls at this point. I am only puking a few times a week which is amazing! Still feeling exhausted and nauseated though so I can't wait for this part to be over. 

    My Valentine's Day was fine. I worked both days this weekend and my husband (the romantic man he is) potty trained my 2 yr old while I was at work.  :)

    How big is baby? Prune..

    How are you feeling? A little rough. I was almost symptom-less until this past week when MS really hit hard. Starting every morning with vomit does not make me a happy ray of sunshine. 

    Rants/Raves/Randoms? Job hunting while pregnant is rough!  Interviews are stressful enough without having to worry about being too hungry, too full, vomiting, diarrhea and whether or not you can make it more than an hour without peeing.  And to top it off my go-to interview outfit is getting a teeny bit tight. Hoping a job will come through soon otherwise I might be stuck waiting out the next 9 months at my current company  :'( 

    GTKY: Did you do anything special for Valentines Day? Did your Valentines Day go as you had hoped?  Not really. DH and I have both been slammed at work and needed Sunday to catch up for the week. We made a tasty dinner for the two of us and watched a movie before I got tired and passed out. Still a nice time but definitely not going down in the history books as our most romantic Valentine's Day ever.

    @star18star -- I'm sorry you are not feeling well, but I have to admit I'm kind of glad to see that someone else's nausea/MS got worse at the same time as mine! I was so expecting things to be better, not worse, at 10 weeks! Here's hoping it passes soon. 
  • Was traveling so this is a day late.

    Raspberry

    How are you feeling? 
    Constipated, tired and nauseous if I am not eating.  BBs are not as sore anymore and cramps seem to be gone completely.

    Rants/Raves/Randoms? 
    Thursday we got to see and hear the heartbeat!!! That was one of the most amazing experiences in my life.  The first doc thought there was two sacs but the second one did not and thought the first doc was crazy.  The u/s was at least 15m and was kind of odd having the two docs take turns looking, I was a bit sore for a day afterwards. 

    We traveled back to our hometown and told lots of people: H's immediate family, my grandparents and a couple cousins, and his best friends.

    GTKY: Did you do anything special for Valentines Day? Did your Valentines Day go as you had hoped? 
    No, we were out of town staying at my parents, they did cook a good meal.  I didn't really care about Valentines Day this year, I guess I would have liked some steak....
