@lalala2004 I've been very tempted to grab my snoogle from the closet. Now I just need to get over my laziness and wash the pillow case so I can use it.
I woke up wide awake at 5:30am today, exactly 30 minutes before my alarm was set to go off. Whhhhy couldn’t you let me get those extra 30 minutes body?!
i just made my viability US appt (12/29) and first OB (1/19) appt so excited to have something to look forward to!
August '18 March Siggy Challenge - You had ONE JOB
@lalala2004 I really want to pull out my snoogle to ease my back but I don't want to listen to DH complain so I'll give him first tri to have bed space LOL.
@lalala2004 I really want to pull out my snoogle to ease my back but I don't want to listen to DH complain so I'll give him first tri to have bed space LOL.
Oh my gosh yes, I went ahead and bought a snoogle early on at the advice of friends and tried it over the weekend and DH was suuuuch a baby about how much bed I was taking up with it. Sorry dude, you will have to deal with it come second and third tri. But also why have I not been using one for years, pregnancy aside? That sucker is comfy as hell.
AFM, DH is being a big baby because he got some blood tests at his annual exam and his cholesterol came back a bit high. He has all these conspiracy theories about why, and it is taking everything in me to not be like "you have gained twenty pounds since our August wedding from eating whatever you want and you never ever exercise. Mystery solved!" Instead I'm just like "why don't you join me in eating clean and healthy while I am pregnant?" Men tho.
*TTC History*
Me: 37, MH: 38; Married August 2017
TTC #1 October 2017: BFP on 12/1/2017, DD born 7/24/2018 @ 37+1 after induction due to preeclampsia
TTC #2 January 2020: AMA, dx with DOR in May 2020
IVF July 2020: 16 eggs retrieved, 14 mature, 12 fertilized, 3 blasts, 2 PGT-A normal
FET 10/7/20: BFP on 10/12/20!!! (EDD 6/25/21); First beta 10/16/20 (9dpt): 148; Second beta 10/19/20 (12dpt): 621; Third beta 10/26/20 (19dpt): 4732; Fourth (and final!) beta 11/2/20 (26 dpt): 22,000+
@legallykate OMGoodness my DH is the same way. He complains about getting sick well how much gluten and dairy have you had this week, two of your big allergy triggers that you know lead you to sinus issues, but no that isn't it. I'm so tired but I can't sleep, me:have you gotten any exercise this week, no but that can't be it. My blood pressure is high even with meds how is eating well and exercise going? But no that not it. IT DRIVES ME INSANE! At least I own it when I know I feel like crap because i've bene eating and exercising poorly
@ecwk I'm so sorry for PTC. Those days are the worst. @hezzer78, @msmonalisavito I can NOT wait until Friday at 3. It has been the longest start to the school year ever.
AFM: I really want that one pillow that was all over FB a couple months ago. It was a straight pillow, that could fold any-which way. I want one for all the time.

@princesslockness ugh I'm jealous! We have two full weeks of instruction until our break. The 22nd isn't even a half day. But I'll take what I can get. All I know is that when we get back from break, it's going to be crazy intense with administration pushing us to do PARCC prep.
Like, can I teach these kids what they need to know without the added pressure?
OMG sssoooo many ads on TB now, so annoying. I went to my intake appt today, I'm 6w1d, she almost snuck me in to ultrasound to get my first US but was worried that if my date was off there might not be a heartbeat. I explained that I understood but because of my mc I'd be happy to see that there was at least an embryo and not an empty sac. She thought on it a little (it was the nurse, intakes are with the nurse) and scheduled me for Friday instead. I'm so excited! With my first I got an US during the eighth week, with my mc it was during my ninth week. So, US pic coming on Friday!
I switched from New Chapter Perfect Prenatals, which you take three times a day, to rainbow light prenatals and DHA because the Next Chapter were too expensive...like $16 a month and no dha so i had to buy dha too. However, now I get nauseous with my prenatals because I take one in the morning. Or maybe its because they are less "whole food based" and more synthetic but who knows with vitamins? I could be taking a pill that's 50% hamster shavings and no one would know.
@smashjam did you look them up on labdoor? I wish I had last pregnancy when I was taking the cheap gummies. I had no idea how inaccurate the labels can be!
Anyway, I was taking Rainbow Light and they are decently rated, but they have more iron than the Garden of Life Raw Prenatal I’m taking now (which still has iron) and since they are in a capsule they are easier to get down, at least for me. I though the Rainbow Light tastes gross. They are more expensive, but it was worth it to me. I was so glad when my Rainbow Light ran out so I could switch.

I am taking Nature Made + DHA because that's what I first saw at Kroger and that's what I bought. I feel like I haven't put any thought into the brand other than convenience. I had never heard of labdoor, but heading to that site to check it out!
@lalala2004 I have looked at lab door and was so depressed about it! I spent $16 a month for something that's only 74 percent accurate on the label?! wtf? I might do the garden of life when I am done, but I want the DHA and DHA vitamins are so expensive to buy alone. It was only $24 for a one month supply of rainbow light and dha, and that was at the store amazon might be less. I'm waffling.
Not sure if this is the best place for this - but here goes. There seem to be a lot of teachers on our board (you ladies rock btw!) and at day care for DS the week of the 18th - 22nd is like Teacher Appreciation week. They've got sign up sheets to bring in goodies for the staff and we usually send small gifts for the teachers in DS's classroom.
So 2 questions - What kind of treats would be good to send? It's kind of a free-for-all, there don't seem to be any restrictions except no tree nuts. And it can either be home made or store-bought.
Second - last year we did a card with a little ornament and I think a gift card to either Target or Amazon - any suggestions for something different this year? He doesn't have the same teachers so they would never know it's a repeat so we could do the same thing but I go back and forth.
@SmashJam@lalala2004 just popping in here to say that I get the Garden of Life Vitamin Code prenatal and DHA Omega-3 on Amazon. $42.21 for the prenatal and $25.58 for the DHA for 2 months with subscribe and save. Total of $33.90 a month. For me it's worth it to know I'm getting good quality and I get them automatically delivered so I don't have to worry about stocking up or running out.
Additionally, with Whole Foods now being owned by Amazon I have no doubts that it is the exact same product that you would get at the store.

Finally got around to calling the dr. I've got my first appointment Jan. 4. So far away! They told me unless I was having issues, no reason to come in earlier. So I will wait, simultaneously wishing time would slow down because I love Christmas, and speed up because I can't wait for the first appointment!
@vinerie mine is 1/2 and that was by choice. They wanted me to go in next week, but I knew it would be too early to see a heartbeat on the ultrasound, so I pushed it out.
I haven’t partied on TB since the mass exodus of 2014. But
now that Im ktfu I need a place to hangout. Nobody IRL wants to hear me moan
and groan about pregnancy shit. Anyway, Im Jaz and Im hoping Im here to stay. I
literally just POAS and got a faint BFP so Im keeping my fingers crossed Im
here to stay. Im pretty snarky but I heard that maybe frowned upon in these
parts now, so just let me know if Im violating any user rules. I should
probably go read up on those, but aint nobody got time for that.
Anyway, Im an IF mom of 1, and my 1st beta is on
the 21st

@jaztastic the snark is still appreciated, but the BGs are known to bring down the ban hammer for making TB an “Unwelcome Environment”. So have your fun, just don’t get banned! Welcome back to TB!
@mrsbubbles-2 I always have appreciated a bottle of sparkling cider/grape juice, and a gift card. One year I had a student gift me a start from his Aloe plant. That was pretty awesome! This year a player on my team gifted me one of those candy posters that described why I was 'the best'. Something that shows you know the teacher a bit, such as a ornament that shows their hobby, or something is wonderful and heartfelt. For the snacks I found a wonderful popcorn thingy that I about died over. You get the buttered popcorn puffs, then make a Karyo Syrup sauce/glaze/topping mixture of Karyo +sugar+color if wanted and cover the popcorn in it. AMAZBALLS!!!! @jaztastic Welcome back!!!! I jumped over to TCF for a bit, but I preferred TBs format better, so I'm back here again. Snark is still in good favor, but like @lalala2004 said, warnings are very common for unwelcoming atmosphere. So be careful, but so far this BMB is pretty calm.
