Toot your horn Tuesday 6.21

Jdlc1991 · June 2016

I finally have a more defined "bump" so I don't feel so frumpy, and I was told I was glowing yesterday! Might have been the fact that the gym has no A/C or that I was still wearing my make up so my highlight was there, but I'm taking it either way! Lol

Nothing too fantastic over here. I did somehow walk a total of 5.6 miles yesterday (2 short walks and a longer one). I got out of bed 10 minutes early today to do my "wake up warm up" 10 minute walk.

I just worked out in the gym. 2 days in a row!!! Of 30 min elyptical HR 155ish, and then some reps of push ups squats and planks. And some stretching.

It can be SO HARD to get back into working out after an extended break - I'm generally very big into fitness and it's still really hard for me. So I feel like really tooting about getting back into a habit. Now I'm going to go get a salad and NOT nachos bell grande because, turns out, I'd rather not feel completely disgusting.

16 weeks pregnant and haven't missed a single day of work. I don't know if that is something to be happy about as I was planning on using this pregnancy to get a few extra days off..

sourlemon · June 2016

I somehow have also not missed a day of work this pregnancy. Last time I was out for almost 2 weeks in the beginning so I'm happy this one has been better.

I was also put on bedrest at the end last time...hoping to avoid that too!

I resisted the urge to snark at people three two times on TB and countless times IRL. Feeling pretty accomplished over here.

Edited.

I made my husband lunch and got my daughter to school on time. I also got to work on time despite a big accident and traffic. I feel these are big because I almost couldn't get out of bed and when I did, I threw up.

First normal poop in weeks.

kbduke · June 2016

I haven't killed anyone yet today. This is a miracle considering how stupid people have decided to act at my job.

To add on to what others have mentioned.

I wore a dress proudly this weekend that showed off my small bump. We made the announcement public last Thursday, so after that... I figured it's fine to flaunt what I have going on. My thigh disguise shapewear was awesome to wear underneath.

I also was big into working out, and just haven't gotten back into the swing of wanting to. My energy has increased some the last couple of weeks, but I usually opt for the couch instead. Slow and steady... I just need to make myself a schedule and stick to it. I used to focus more on core, but figure I can still do that but maybe work on my arms more. I can bloat out other places, but have awesome arms? OK!

I only missed 1 day of work (15w2d today), and that was due to a nasty cold coming back at full strength and me just needing a day of rest to hopefully help it go away - which it did. Since I couldn't do my normal cold medications, I fought it naturally. So that is only 1 day this year. I have some coworkers who are at 5, and we only get 6 paid ones. Good luck to them!

I told my boss No. I was working on a task he gave me with another right behind, and then he asked me to do another time consuming task. So I told him no, I already had 2. When I expanded on the details he was like, oh wow, ok. Split it with the other 2. Small victory, but the other 2 are just as overworked as me. I hated to dump in them so I split it. Everything still got done.

We're putting an offer in on a house today and I haven't passed out yet.

jptrumptone · June 2016

good luck @cgss11! I hope your market is better than ours. We put offers on 6 houses before we finally had one accepted, but we close this week on our first house!

I've been working on overcoming major anxiety for seeing the dentist, and made it through my cleaning yesterday and am having a little work done Thursday without Valium. This is a huge step for me. It is super important to me that my kids not know how terrified I am of the dentist because I want them to have healthy teeth.

Sharkey · June 2016

I unpacked over 50% of my house in one day! Hallelujah!

I desperately need to get back in the gym. I was a major gym goer but then life took over and it slowed down around January. I haven't been since March. I really want to watch my weight gain this time around. Plus, I like the alone time.

I have been told by all 4 doctors at my practice that core work such as planks are ok but crunches are not. Basically if it compresses the baby area it's a no go. You can still have great abs while pregnant. This is important because I teach core based water workout classes.

@goldensnitch731 really? oops

yellingbanana · June 2016

Oh my gosh! Reading all these makes my heart all happy! I'm so emotional lately, but seriously, the working out- awesome, the house buying and moving? Sweet! It makes me feel like if I really make my brain to work I may get my ducks all in a row!
We've been planning our wedding and it's going down on Friday. It's small, but way more work than I thought it'd be. I've done 98% of the planning as I'm not working right now. (I'm a teacher and taking a yr or 2 off for baby and masters). That's my horn tooting, I've somehow managed to pull our wedding together with only a partiality functioning pregnancy brain.
I can't wait to tell you all how I laughed at inappropriate moments during the wedding!

yellingbanana · June 2016

@lalamomma - that's awesome!!! I try to do the same with my kids even though I have mini anxiety everytime I go to the dentist. I'm always trying to tell myself it's ok, but find my hands clenched at best. That's a big step to go without meds when you needed them before. Ah, the things we do for our kids, even when it's setting an example!
I'm terrified of spiders, but won't let my kids see it. I breathe, and smash it if it's in the house, and if it's outside I leave it and explain that it's their home. But I used to freak out when I found big spiders in the house! Now it's mama bear defense mode.

Not Tuesday anymore but...finally took my car in to get new plates since we moved. My registration was only expired for 6 months =\
And my renewed drivers license came in the mail. I can drive again without being worried about getting pulled over! Small victories.

PensiveCrayon · June 2016

Yay, exciting news on the wedding @yellingbanana! Small is the way to go. I don't regret having my dream wedding, but it was killer to pull off. If I had it to do again, I'd take the money and elope!

dmontgo · June 2016

Booked my maternity and newborn photography sessions today! Drove 40 minutes with DH to meet the lady, and I am in love with her photography style. Just another thing to check off my list...now to start researching doulas...

maamawaabangi · July 2016

I walked today, despite feeling crummy and drank a lot of water (which I hate) and feel like I popped out at least 3 weeks sooner than a normally do and I haven't cried once about it even though I feel like crying. Yay me!

ashleaf2018 · July 2016

I know it's Friday (oops) but yesterday I moved stuff out of my apartment in the 114 degree heat index, and I only threw up once. And we were moving stuff for probably 5-6 hours. I feel like superwoman.
