Re: Weekly Randoms | 2.6.17

  • 1) Finally got my OB appointment scheduled.

    2) I am so tired and I want all the coffee but I'm trying to limit myself. Booooo.

    3) I cannot remember how much I have forgotten about what is and is not kosher during pregnancy. I need a refresher.

  • @jessafishy yay for the OB appointment! Boooo for the coffee limits. 

    I'm really not wanting to be at work right now. I want to just be a free, wild spirit outside in the world! But, must adult. 

    On the brightside. My coworker brought me a breakfast burrito. I am eternally grateful.

  • When people expect me to drop everything I'm doing at work and help them with their problem. Yeaaaa. let me get right on that. NOT.

  • I made pizza for lunch for me and DS. He refused to eat any. What toddler doesn't like pizza?! Oh well. More for me!

    I could have written this haha. I finally got my OB appointment scheduled this morning too. I'll be 8 weeks and they said they won't do an ultrasound until the appointment after (so at 9 or 10 weeks). I'm so impatient! I'm having coffee and Dr. Pepper withdrawals and I'm so exhausted, top that off with a cold that has made sleeping so hard. It's been 4 years since I was pregnant with DD, so I'm having to look up what is safe too (especially with this cold, though I've been to nervous to even take the "safe" things).

    Mine is warming up to pizza, finally, but would still choose a PB&J over it. He isn't a huge fan of cheese.

    He also loves tomato soup (and I do too) but I find that such a strange food for a toddler to love.

    Right?! DH was picking up dinner the other night and asked what I wanted and I almost said sushi. I know the rolls are probably okay but... you never know. It was one of the few things I didn't risk last time.

  • @jessafishy Whenever you're in doubt, you're probably not allowed to eat it. Lol at least that's what it feels like. I miss sushi and I've only known for a week.

    I have an overnighter tonight for work so I have to stay in a hotel room alone :( so boring. And I am so overwhelmed with work and school to the point where I just want to take a nap and not do any of it.




  • @bluejeanbabi05 There are a lot of things you aren't "supposed" to eat that I still ate in moderation last time around. Like cold lunch meat and soft cheeses. Mostly because you have a higher risk of contracting listeria from fresh fruits and veggies than from those items. 

    I'm sure there were more things but I cannot remember, my brain dumped all of that info already, haha!

  • I have no restraint. This is my 45th baby and I wasnt going to tell everyone for a long time and I'm a week in and already feel like getting it over with and telling people. Plus I'm supposed to be taking my co-worker out for a drink Thursday...it's going to obvious
  • 1. I stayed home today in order to catch up on work and schoolwork and some rest, and yet I'm sitting here watching Netflix and not getting anything done. So I guess my day is heavy on rest. 

    2. DD is getting another tooth and refuses to do anything on her own (play, eat, sleep), I must be with her, preferably holding her, for each of these activities.

    3. We started whole30 yesterday and after reading all of your weekly randoms, I now want pizza and sushi and pb&j. 
  • I have to decide between care providers and it's making anxious D: 

    1. My family doctor who is so, so lovely and supportive and helpful. How cool would it be for a doctor I'll probably see the rest of life catch my baby??
    2. My obgyn who helped us finally get KU again

  • DS woke up multiple times last night , so I'm exhausted. He said he felt good, then school called and sent him home early with a fever. Now, I feel like I may be catching it. 

    I have had cramping on my lower right side for a week, sometimes it's more painful. I'm a little worried, but my dr appointment is Thursday and I can't make it sooner without cancelling a bunch of important meetings and causing issues with my boss. 

    @jessafishy yay to first appointment. I feel your pain in the coffee. I have been doing half regular/half decaf to get ease my way off. 

    @mommac2017 lol my DS is the same. If I make pizza he won't touch it, but school has it, he is all over it. 

    @keraflores it's been forever for me too. I'm googling everything.

  • Ugh DH is away for work tonight and I hate hate hate sleeping alone. I'm convinced every sound is someone breaking into the house. And to make matters worse, our French bulldog gets super protective when DH is gone and explodes out of the bed barking if he thinks any noise is suspicious. Fun at 3am. Needless to say, not much sleeping happens.



  • @bluejeanbabi05 My DH used to work one overnight a week. Our Boxer would do the same thing in the middle of the night, and ONLY when DH wasn't home...multiple times a night. It freaked me out to no end, and would get little to no sleep those nights. DH said he was "protecting me" *eye roll* I feel your pain!

  • @purplestars Right! Like it's sweet of the dogs but not healthy for my heart. My dog is currently staring intently at the bedroom door like he heard something. I know it's because he's hoping DH walks in but it's still freaking me out. 



  • @bluejeanbabi05 haha when my husband would come home from work, at 6:00am on a sunday morning (grr), my dog would think he was an intruder and start barking hysterically again until he came in the bedroom lol It was... just great.

  • @purplestars Oh wow I bet you were glad when he stopped working nights. What a nightmare. 



  • @bluejeanbabi05 I never sleep well when DH isn't home. I toss and turn a lot. Hopefully you got some rest last night!

  • This fatigue is already getting on my nerves. I told DH this morning that I know it's still early but I'm ready for this part to be over.

    He asked if I had it bad with DS and I really don't remember. I probably did but I had the freedom to just flop on the couch for the entire evening when I got off work. Not so much with a toddler.

  • @bluejeanbabi05 I can't sleep either when DH is gone. I turn into an insanely paranoid nut. Hell, even when he is home, I'm a paranoid nut. I'm always convinced every noise is someone breaking in. Which is ridiculous obviously. But DH talked to someone at ADT last weekend about coming out and giving us info. I'm legit losing sleep over my paranoia.
  • I've been so tired that I've been passing out by 9 a lot of nights. My husband is a night owl and won't fall asleep till 12. It's a little frustrating for him, but my body seems wired to wake up by 6am at the latest every morning and I don't have time to nap during the day.

  • @bluejeanbabi05 i hope you got some sleep! Last time my DH wasn't home overnight, my dog totally stressed me out more than necessary. These pups just trying to keep their mommas safe lol 
  • I'm trying to plan a baby shower for my SIL with my mom and my sister. I love planning stuff. And me and my sister have a great system when we plan together. But my mom is stressing me out!!!!! Tonight is our second night in a row getting together to plan. I am tired. And I'm throwing up 3-4x a day. I don't feel like going shopping to look for safari themed decorations because you picked that theme!

    Ugh. End rant!

    So DH and I were watching Grey's Anatomy last night and one of the characters was being mean to her mom. DH goes "man kids can be so mean to their parents". He goes off and starts talking about  how hard it is to see your parents grow old. And since my parents live in Canada, I see them maybe 4 times a year. He goes "you must really notice they look older or tired since you don't see them so often"... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

    Let me just say how the most enormous lump gathered in my throat and I started sobbing for about 20 minutes straight. DH has never been so scared in his life. Well you know what? good! Who the hell says that to a pregnant lady who's hormones are already out of wack let alone a girl who doesn't see her parents too often!??!!?

    geez louise.

  • @jessafishy I give you big props for that, I used to do DHs hair and it was like torture for both of us!
  • @jessafishy @Myelhsa  You are both brave. My SS has curly hair, which is the total opposite of mine, so I won't go anywhere near it with scissors.

  • I JUST found out I'm pregnant and don't want to tell any IRL friends yet but I'm so lost with this being my first child! When should I try to see my doctor? Now? Yesterday? Not until I'm further along? Ahhhhhhhh
  • @jessafishy I'm terrified of even shaving DH's neck so major props for that!

    I'm covering a charity auction tonight (Emeril Lagasse and Zac Brown are here!) and people are buying bottles of wine for $30k. I'm in the wrong profession.



  • @bluejeanbabi05 that's awesome!! I looooove Zac Brown Band!

  • I'm stuck at work because I close on Saturday nights. I've been tired all day and I just want to go home and sleep. Unfortunately, I have a couple more hours to go. Of doing mostly nothing because I hardly ever get calls this late. Yeah, it's totally necessary that I'm here.

    Hi Meg! First, congrats! Second,  those are questions that will be best answered by your OBGYN, MW, Etc.  Give them a call the next time they are open. They will ask you some questions and you will determine together when's the best time to go in and see them.
