I’ve had headaches the past few days, and a really hard time sleeping.
Appointments/US this week
Nope.
Random Questions
Will DS ever poop on the potty? *magic 8 ball day- DON’T COUNT ON IT.* Ughhhh. He just straight refuses. He knows when he’s pooping and that he should poop on the potty, and that everyone else poops on the potty, AND that if he poops on the potty that he’ll get a cookie.... he still will not poop on the potty. -_-

We’re going to Disney Wednesday and I haven’t packed anything yet. We’re going with a group of friends and they’re kids and the whole trip is scheduled out and it’s overwhelming the crap out of me. I literally have 2 days to pack 3 people.

We keep the pregnancy off of social media, and probably won’t send anything out. It will travel by word of mouth. My grandma tells everyone everyone else’s business. We will post a picture of baby on Fb and send out a birth announcement in the mail like we did last time.
To tell my family out of town I just told them over the phone, and dh send a picture via text to his aunts out of town for Christmas of DS holding the ultrasound picture.
New/Interesting/Festering Symptoms The ever-present nausea that I fear will follow me through 2nd tri. New symptom is waking up with headaches. Might be from lack of eating at night due to said nausea. Dinner is a real trying time for me right now.
ETA: I forgot to add bloody nose! My goodness I got the craziest bloody nose last night and didn't know what to do. I know they are common during pregnancy and we've had our heat on for weeks, so dryness definitely plays a part. Still, it was a weird one!
Appointments/US this week Nothing this week. Start bi-weekly US appointments at 16 weeks to measure cervix length.
Random Questions Nada for now
Rants/Raves I just want to sleep but H has an opinion about everything I'm doing. He loves to tell me what he thinks about so and so and it's really getting on my nerves.
Are you doing a social media/snail mail announcement? If so, post your idea/your picture below! If not, any ideas on how to let your further away friends and family know? No announcements for us. I'm not really into social media other than browsing Instagram. H posted a happy birthday/pregnancy announcement last time so he may want to do something like that again but I'm not sure. I think pretty much everyone knows who I want to know. Otherwise, it'll get there via word of mouth.

We sent our snail mail announcement the week of Christmas and announced on social media New Years Day (picture posted in pregnancy announcements thread)

I don’t know if I will post about baby before baby comes but if I do it will involve my 5 year old sister wearing an auntie shirt or holding an auntie mug. Found some cute ideas on Etsy.
Edited because the bump ate my post.

My husband has been absolutely amazing since I started feeling sick on Friday. He works long hours in a hospital, but he has done all of the housework since Friday because I’ve been doing the bare minimum. I do childcare in my home so I can stay home with my DS and luckily today the weather was bad and one Mom was sick so I didn’t have any extra kiddos today.

I will post on social media when baby is born. I will be in my 17th week during the week of Valentine's day so I Thought it may be cute to send out a cute Valentine thing for friends and family that don't know because it seems fun and cute but wondering if close people expect or prefer being told more personally, verbally.
symptoms: while I don’t throw up, I still get waves of sudden onset nausea, usually when something is pressed against my stomach or other random things. Itchy boobs/stomach. Fatigue for DAUS! Wanting to eat all. The. Carbs. But being on a diabetic diet.
(I don’t know what happened to the rest of my post.

Questions: none
rants/raves: enjoying my bed with a head/foot that can raise and lower
