    I’m so tired of telling people “I can’t commit to that thing in September/October because of personal reasons.  Yes, I know it will be fabulous, no I won’t tell you my personal business, now F- off.”

    And my dance club’s anniversary dance is four days before my EDD.  I never miss that dance.

    Dude just lie. Or tell half-truths. Be like “yeah so excited!” Or “that’ll be so fun!”. They’ll understand you cancelling later when you announce your pregnancy. We’ve been invited to an October wedding that’s an 8 hour drive away. ABSOLUTELY not going. But I told the bride I was happy for her and implied we’d be there. By the time the invites have been sent we’ll have announced, I’ll rsvp our regrets, easy peasy.

    @kiwi2628 It's going to get better! At 9 weeks and 1 day, the worst of my symptoms disappeared and haven't returned. Still really tired all the time, but better than being sick!

    Yeah- but just like the ladies planning to be part of Wedding Parties- I’m one of the organizers of the Anniversary Dance.  

    Last night we were debating changing locations from where we’ve held it the last six years, and I had to tell them that they might be one set of hands short. If they needed my help figuring out the logistics of the new location on the date of the dance, then they should consider my potential lack of availability before changing locations.  

    I’m super glad we aren’t changing venues.  I love my friends- but they are incapable of making executive decisions.  Sometimes- you just have to say “we are doing it this way.” And move on.

    I understand pregnancy is magical and shit but I want to hit FF through the first tri SO BAD. I have emetophobia, this nausea has got me on edge all the time! Plus the constant not knowing whats going on in there! I am ready to feel some kicks and get back to not feeling like crap on a platter. I am so impatient! (Plus I wouldn't mind FF through weeks of work).

    Wow.  And I thought some of the other MS stories were bad- you get a double whammy.  I truly hope your experience with MS is more like mine than some of the other ladies.  (I’ve been able to keep all my meals down so far.)

    My husband's cousin is getting married in Nov. We are in MI and the wedding is in SC. He asked us this weekend if we think we will be able to make it, thankfully we just announced to family this weekend. He simply responded that we'd be a bit busy and sent him a picture of SS in his new Big Brother shirt! I don't really feel guilty though, because they didn't come to ours last Oct...

    My last pregnancy I had no MS symptoms at all and I went into trying again knowing things could be different but desperately hoping it would be like last time. So far its not been like last time at all, its got me so anxious! I am just hoping it goes away soon. I haven't actually gotten sick yet, partly sheer willpower and luck I am sure. I am still very early though and I know it peaks soon. I don't think my doc is willing to prescribe anything better than reglan or diclegis despite my fears. I know, first world problems compared to what could be. Healthy babies at the end(fx) will be all worth it!

    @kiwi2628 I’m with you. It’s getting old! I’ve felt awful since 4w5d and I’m 9w6d now. It’s not letting up. By this point last pregnancy Inwas having breaks. 

    @ninji15 I would be all about it!

    So I’m just annoyed. I scratch one of my coworkers bumpers with my car about a month ago. It was totally my fault, but it wasn’t bad. But she said she wanted to get it fixed. So she got an estimate and I paid her for it because I wasn’t having my insurance go up over this. Well she still hasn’t fixed it. And like I understand it’s pretty typical to pocket the money, but we freaking work together, so like I know you lied to my face...

    @sammierose464 where in SC is the wedding? 

    Im tired of H expecting me to do everything around the house, while he just gets to come home eat dinner and then sit around and do nothing. I'm tired and I just want to sit around too!

    So done with today. Woke up feeling craptastic. DS is also sick with a cold. I found a lump on his neck that scared me half to death, but Google says it’s swollen lymph nodes from being sick. I haven’t slept in like 2 freaking weeks, and when I finally got some sleep from a nap, I have a very vivid nightmare that my mom’s cancer came back. 

    The only redeeming factor was that DS said “I love you” for the first time today. That was a big one. But still...ugh. What a day.

    I’ll be happy when I’m not throwing up anymore.  And not crying because I’m throwing up. I couldn’t make it from the car to the front door. I got it down my arm and in my hair when I was trying to protect my kids from getting hit by said vomit.

    @purple_2012 My H was the same way. Last Thursday I finally had enough when he made an unnecessary snide comment so we had a talk. He’s been much better since.

    @concreteayngel DS get huge lymph nodes when he is sick. Luckily the first time I noticed we were already at the Ped so I asked but it freaked me out!!!

    I feel like a live in nanny/cook would solve 90% of my problems. And I don’t even have any other kids! Shout out to all you moms for real. I don’t know how you do it!! I feel like I’m being such a baby all the time. If I’m not crying over something stupid I want to throw a kicking screaming tantrum because I’m tired of feeling like crap.

    Honestly, right now I’m glad I live alone.  I don’t have to worry about dinner or dishes- if I don’t have wanna, then I don’t.  Unfortunately, the result of that is that all my clean underwear is in a heap of laundry in the basement. Whoops!

    I second @kiwi2628, @jynjer91, and all the other ladies who are sick of feeling sick. I swear it’s through sheer willpower that I’ve not actually thrown up yet. 

    I will add to the list - students who still don’t know basic expectations after over half the year. Kid “why are you mad?” me “I’m not mad, I still just don’t understand why you’re yelling at your friend instead of reading since we do this every. Single. Day.” Sigh.

    I feel like my husband doesn't understand how miserable I am. I told him on my way home I was exhausted. I got home and barely wanted to talk, couldn't figure out what I wanted to eat and just got felt like crap. I threw up before we went grocery shopping and when I barely talk he acts like it's such a huge inconvenience that I don't feel well. His ex wife never talked about her pregnancy or how she was feeling during it, so I feel like he expects me to be fine. It's now 8pm and I'm already in bed.

    @sammierose464 I’m sorry YH isn’t being as supportive as he could be. I hope he comes around soon. Men are so funny that way. Meanwhile, they get the sniffles and they act like they’re on their deathbed.

    I know it’s Tuesday now but I effing hate insurance companies. I pay $160/month for there to be ZERO obstetricians within a 30 mile radius of me... I’ve been so stressed out this entire pregnancy so far.. sigh.

    @Shidoni What?! That sucks!! I hope you find something more convenient.

    My bitching has carried over to Tuesday too because I. Am so. Sleepy!! I woke up at 2am, couldn't go back to sleep, got a call at 3:00am (I've been on call for my job), REALLY couldn't go back to sleep, and then finally just gave it up when DH got up at 4:00. I literally want to crawl under my desk and pass out.

    I'll give him some credit. This morning I started puking like crazy in the shower. He decided to stay home with me to make sure I'm ok.

    @Shidoni I hear ya! Our insurance is crappy. The only female OB that accepts my insurance is in Seattle 30 miles away. And a hospital birth is going to cost us about $7k. I guess that’s something I can add to my otherwise empty list of things I miss about California.
