I'm currently in my car outside of DD's (3yo) school trying to slam a strawberry shake before I go in and get her because I don't want to share with her.

Today we administered the PSAT test to our 8th graders. They want you to walk around for the entire 4 hours. Best believe my pregnant self sat down most of the time because I am always out of breath. I can't wait for STAAR this Spring.
Day before Thanksgiving break and my students are watching Monsters University. I am almost all caught up on my grading and haven't had to yell at anyone so far today. "Wasted" instructional day but oh so important sanity saver.

I'm currently in my car outside of DD's (3yo) school trying to slam a strawberry shake before I go in and get her because I don't want to share with her.
When I was pregnant with DD2 I had a thing for Frosty's. I would tell DD1 they were coffee.
I ate two lunches today. Nausea in the evenings has meant that I can't eat dinner (or, if I do, I can't keep it down) and a girl has got to eat. My blump is definitely present and accounted for today.
I wore maternity jeans today not because my regular ones no longer fit but because I just love having an excuse to wear pants with an elastic waistband to work. They did come in handy when I went out to lunch today. As they likely will on Thanksgiving.
I didn't feed my 15 month old a single meal today at the table. I can't handle food prep. I'm not eating any meals. I basically just handled her a snack every hour. A banana here, some applesauce, a cheese stick, dry cereal, another banana etc.

I had a dream yesterday while I was napping that my husband went on a nice vacation without me and lied about it saying he had to be out of town for work. I woke up like "huh that was a weird dream" but even knowing it was just a dream I was still irrationally angry with my husband all night. Ugh I hate being this hormotional.
I mean, granted a lot of his work trips end up being like the yearly regional directors meeting on a cruise to the Bahamas where most of the day everyday they're out swimming with the dolphins and scuba diving in the coral reef and stuff. Then my husband comes home and tells me about all the fun he had and how amazing it was. We've never been on a single vacation together. Ever. Not one. Not even a day trip to the beach that's an hour and a half from us. Or a weekend trip to the mountains 2 hours away. Nothing at all. I've been trying to get my husband to take me somewhere for like... 2 years. And we never have the time or money. But we strangely have the money and he has the time to plan an impromptu bachelor party for his friend halfway across the country. I'm just not a priority and since he has all the fun without me I guess he doesn't feel the same desire to go do things. I mean I wouldn't be in any huge hurry to go on a cruise if I just got back from one I guess. I wouldn't know though since I've literally never in my life been on a cruise. I just want to go do something fun at least once. Is that asking for too freaking much?
So I mean it was just a dream but it wasn't. And I'm obviously still angry. Sorry not sorry.

I'm starting to get irrationally jealous of everyone on here who has had appointments already. Even more jealous of those of you finding out the sex. I think I'm about 9 weeks and they won't see me until I'm 12 weeks since I have already had one pregnancy with no complications. My first appointment and ultrasound is December 5. Granted that's not that far away now. I feel like I can't tell anyone but family I'm pregnant because I haven't even had an appointment and don't know what to say for a due date. No one at my work knows for the same reason. I will just count this as a good lesson in being patience.
@kassyfry I can definitely understand being jealous of people who already had appointments. I'm sure waiting till 12 weeks feels like waiting forever. I feel like I've pretty much been pregnant forever already and I'm only 11 weeks.
As for telling people: I'd say just use your LMP. You can always tell them later that the doctor changed your EDD if it's really different than your calculated EDD using LMP. Or, ya know, you could just not tell anyone even if it changes. It isn't like it really matters too much whether they know they exact day or not. If you want to tell people I say just tell people.

I second this. We've only told a few close family members, but when anyone asks the due date I've just said June. No one really cares about the actual date and they won't even remember it. Every time I saw anyone when I was pregnant with DD they would ask me my due date, no matter how many times I'd told them before. I think, if I'm honest with myself, that's one of the reasons I haven't told many people I'm expecting. I just have no interest in answering the same 4 questions over and over again for the next 9 months.
@doodleoodle@NamelessAria I think the real reason I'm afraid to tell anyone is I since I haven't had an appointment, I'm just not sure everything is ok. I haven't had any bleeding or cramping but I still feel like I need that first appointment to calm my worries.

@NamelessAria I don't think you're irrationally pissed about this situation. I would be totally annoyed if my husband was contantly getting to go on vacation- like trips and he and I had never gone anywhere together!
Don't get me started on the bachelor party thing. We were pretty strapped for cash last year and my BF managed to muster a good $600 to take a 4 day trip to Canada for his friend's bachelor party. Did I mention the last day of that trip was my DD's bday? I can't with these Bach/Bachelorette parties that are full blown trips now. You're supposed to get one night!
But anyway, yeah. I would be insisting on at least a nice beach or mountain vacation asap.
My mom annoys me. My MIL also annoys me. Not sure which is more annoying, for different reasons. My mom NEVER has good advice, not that I would trust it anyway, and she just tries to one up me when I complain about something. Like if I say, "I'm so tired lately" she would just say "try being pregnant with two kids already" or something. I talk to her maybe once every two weeks. My MIL is annoying because she constantly repeats the same stories from 'back in the day' and asks the same questions every time we see her. There, rant over. Ahhh.

My cousin is throwing her husband a surprise birthday party at a restaurant/bar tonight. A bunch of my family will be there that we are not ready to tell yet. Instead of being at a crazy busy loud restaurant squished at some table, faking drinking. I just texted her that we won't be there, that I woke up not feeling well. She bought it and understood. DH and I plan to go out to dinner on our own, in peace, in our own town 30minutes from where they will be.
