Re: Randoms 4/5
What makes you guys poop? It’s been like a week and I need new things to try.
This is the only thread I even keep track of 90% of the time. I get bored talking about pregnancy. I guess that's my Flame Free Thursday Confession? Lol
The root canal place I interviewed with finally called me.... and offered me a clinical position. I'm actually intrigued, but I'm also pregnant and have trouble being on my feet. Plus I went back to school specifically for insurance and facility management. Pay wise it's the same, but it feels like a step down.
She says she feels like it's a better fit for me because I come from almost a decade in the beauty industry and I'm all about the clients and patient experience. But I'd be going from running my own office to assisting the dentist. I'm flattered she loved me enough to find me a spot in the practice, but I don't know if taking xrays and digging around in people's mouths would be the right fit for a pregnant lady...
the liquid thing works the best, but it's so hard right now.
@dunkindecaf lots of water (I try to get over 100 oz a day), chocolate milk, ice cream and Colace.
@rc-cola I have yet to experience it... but sure hope it comes soon. I think DH is getting jealous of the pillow that is always lodged behind my back or between my knees.
@rc-cola Kind of. I had no drive at all for the last 2 months. Now it’s coming back, but I still don’t have enough energy for it - so it’s really pathetic and frustrating right now. I’m only 11 weeks, so I’m hoping by the time I hit second tri I have more energy.
Random NPR: My sister chose this light gray suit for my boys to wear in her wedding (with a matching light gray bow tie).
What color shoes do I get them? Would black look funny since the gray is so light?
I was really afraid of pooping after Ziggy (i tore pretty badly so eek) and so i lived in prune juice for a while. My partner labeled it "warrior's drink" and thinking of Worf everytime made me feel better about it.
I’ve had a pretty balanced diet and can’t figure out what gives. For example, today so far here’s what I’ve eaten:
B: rolled oats w/ vanilla almond milk, cinnamon, almond butter, and banana; with a cup of black tea
S: small latte from work
L: salad w/ romaine, feta cheese, shredded carrots, sunflower seeds, and basalmac vinaigrette; an apple; and trek mix from TJs; then I was still hungry so I grabbed a pack of cheez it’s feom the vending machine
I have a balance of carbs, protein, fruits, and veggies so what am I doing wrong? Why am I so hungry?
I have some food with my mid-morning coffee...almonds, pretzels, whatever I feel like. Also, maybe some additional chicken/protein (sorry can't remember if your veg or vegan) or avocado to your salad to fuel up?
edit: Also, props to you for eating so healthy!
I had a small surge the other week where I was super horny. Now it's back down to minimal. It doesn't help that DH is working 10-12 hour days and not having much time off. He's working all weekend again. And so he's also in a funk.
@ladyofarlington That honestly doesn’t look like much protein to me. Maybe have some eggs in the morning and/or add chicken to your salad at lunch? If you’re vegetarian having something with beans or quinoa would get you more protein at lunch.
@sammierose464 Not really. I jump in and help around the office, but I'm administration. I was a nail tech back in the salon, so I've done the whole hands on/direct contact with the client/dirty work type thing. I went back to school to sit behind a desk. Lol.
But I'm also kind of bored? I wonder if that would at least get my foot in the door at this specialty place? Or at least get me out of my current company for now and I can always apply for administrative positions later, either at the specialty location or possibly private practices?
I don't feel like it's a huge risk, because I know I want out of here. And no matter where I am, I know a huge chunk of time off is coming where I could reevaluate. I just have zero idea how hard it's going to be on my body through the rest of my pregnancy.
Also, I'm joining the 2nd tri party (in spirit, cause no gifs on work computer) even though I'm 13 weeks. One app says I'm in, one says I've got a week to go, and I think it's so silly that no one can seem to agree exactly when it starts. So I vote that I'm in!
@ladyofarlington Try plain green yogurt with fruit or granola. I buy the protein granola for a little extra protein and eat that with the yogurt as my mid-morning snack. I eat about every two hours otherwise I’m starving!
