Weekly Randoms - Week of 4.16

maureenmce · April 2018

What's going on this week everybody?

maureenmce · April 2018

As for my random today - here's a live shot of me FINALLY connecting my extreme bloating this weekend to the half a jar of pickles I ate and alllll that sodium.

Activebaby · April 2018

I cannot stay focused today. I’m sitting here trying to eat lunch, but I’m not feeling so great. I’m hoping I’ll feel better once I’ve eaten. I’m going back upstairs to my office and I hope I can be productive. I got a few things done this morning, so I haven’t been unproductive. I’m just used to multitasking very well...and well I’m so distracted today.

morgantu · April 2018

@Activebaby oh i feel you! I cannot get my stuff together today. My job (Sign language interpreter) is obviously very performance based and not something i can really fake. Every time i go back to my office all i can do is sit there and have a snack. Thank goodness i only have like 2 more weeks of work. I feel like i'm going to have to spill the beans soon.

AFM, not a ton going on this week, but the weather is gross and all i want to do is nap!

runrinserepeat · April 2018

This morning I registered for a membership at the community pool for this summer! I'm so excited, never mind the fact that there's 4" of snow on the ground at the moment. Mostly just because I get to just let it all hang out this summer and not worry about having a flat tummy LOL

I'm dog sitting for my parents this week while they're on vacation. Their dog is 15 years old and she's been having a good amount of seizures lately. She's on medication which has been managing them really well, but I'm petrified she's going to have one this week or that something worse will happen! At least she has my dog for company and it's only for a week!

My dog has been on meds for seizures for a few months now, and it's really been amazing how well they work. For a while we tried weaning him off, because they also make him fat and lazy, and he had another seizure. So back up to full dose and make sure we don't forget, and he's fine. I hope your parents' dog makes it through - they're scary, and there's not much you can do for them during or after

CecilB93 · April 2018

@Activebaby and @morgantu I feel you guys on not focussing well. I've been in such a haze this morning! I was half tempted to nap in my car during lunch, but decided against it. I'm just hoping this afternoon goes quickly.

Tonight I'm going out to dinner at a restaurant called Margarita's with some girl friends. One of them is back in town from Ohio and we're all meeting up to see her! They're all old coworkers (technically still coworkers, but different branch) so I'm excited to have all of us together again. I still haven't decided if I plan to just tell them or try to hide the pregnancy, it'll probably come out at some point if I'm not ordering alcohol. I honestly don't mind, I just don't want to take any spotlight away from the other girl who's back in town, she's bringing her new husband along so we can all meet him, so it's kind of all about them in a way.

hkom · April 2018

I'm having the same issues today with focusing and just generally not feeling well at all. Luckily, I work for my dad and he knows I'm pregnant, so around 11 I just told him I was going home to work for the rest of the day. Promptly came home and laid in bed for about an hour and just cried for absolutely no reason. I feel a little better and now I'm TRYING to get some work done so I didn't waste the day entirely.

@runrinserepeat That reminds me I need to do the same thing! It's snowing here today as well, but nothing on the ground. All I want to do is sit in the sun and drink a slushie by the pool.

runrinserepeat · April 2018

OMG somebody I work with just said, "you're not pregnant again, are you?"

texas_t · April 2018

@runrinserepeat What did you say!!!??? I'm just waiting for someone to ask me because I haven't walked in with my Trenta Iced Coffee in a couple of weeks, lol

runrinserepeat · April 2018

::much awkward laughter:: and then, "let's not go there"

The perks of me not being a coffee drinker

Not sure if I could lie though if someone directly asked me!

mag1cbeli3ver · April 2018

@runrinserepeat AHHH! That's crazy! What would make them ask that, I wonder? I had a similar experience this past weekend. I was at my cousin's wedding on Saturday and my Aunt walked up to me and said "Congratulations!" with a big smile in front of some others (we haven't told anyone except for the grandparents, yet). I looked at her for a good 5 seconds unsure of what to say, thinking "how does she know?" And I finally asked her what for, and it turned out to be something work-related that I had posted on FB earlier in the week! It was definitely awkward and I was on the verge of spilling the beans!

runrinserepeat · April 2018

@mag1cbeli3ver He was talking about mailing me a hamburger (yeah, um, I don't eat beef, but cool), so I told him I'm already waiting on chocolate in the mail. He told me I needed a hobby and it couldn't be chocolate because I weigh 85lbs (eyeroll, and not even close to true), so I told him about the $30 of chocolate I picked up at 70% at Target after Easter. Which led to that question, so... This is someone who works at a different site, so I don't ever see him. It's gonna be so awkward when I have to be all, "yeah, remember when you thought I might be pregnant? You were right!"

CecilB93 · April 2018

Anyone else's app keep opening ads when you try to type or love a comment?? It's ANNOYING!!!!!! I've never had issues with the app until all these stupid ads they've started showing! GRRRRRR!!!!!!

coco2787 · April 2018

I’m wearing maternity leggings today because my regular leggings are squeezing my bloat and giving me a cute double spare tire. I have no shame in busting out the comfy clothes early.

coco2787 · April 2018

Ugh, yes @CecilB93 the new ads on mobile are driving me crazy. The lack of ads was the one advantage to using the app. It’s like TB wants to drive users away

texas_t · April 2018

My big accomplishment for the day has been to shower. Yay, me?

Hey, me too!

runrinserepeat · April 2018

A nurse from the OB's office is calling me at 2:00p today to ask me questions. Apparently this is going to take 30 minutes. I'm very anxious and curious about this.... I don't remember it being a thing last time.

PensiveCrayon · April 2018

Me three on the shower thing! You know, I never had trouble taking regular showers when A was a newborn because he was so chill and would just watch me from his Boppy. But these days I just get so caught up in everything that I tend to stretch longer than I would prefer between showers.

texas_t · April 2018

@runrinserepeat I hope it's not, like, math questions....

@PensiveCrayon I'm just lazy.

westcoastfoodie · April 2018

My husband just went to pick up some lunch for me and the restaurant has stopped making my go to. I was irrationally sad and immediate went to "But... but... I've been ordering that sandwich since I was TEN! How could they do this to me?!"

Hormones are a bitch.

rosebud332 · April 2018

@CecilB93 I love titted your comment and pulled up an ad, so, yep. I used to be able to handle the glitchyness of the app without too much problem, but the last few days it has gotten SO much worse. Where’s that pop up that asks if I want to rate the app. I’m about to tell them about themselves.

I’m ok, honestly.

laceyrochelle · April 2018

We are only 4+2 so we are having our labs tomorrow and will probably tell our parents Friday when my dad get back from a work trip. We have a daughter who turned 4 in February and have struggled with infertility the entire time... exciting!

runrinserepeat · April 2018

Apparently no ultrasound for me until 20 weeks! So uh... there's that.

clbness · April 2018

@runrinserepeat NO! How can they make you wait like that?!

ETA: I'm now reading on other posts this is relatively normal. *embarrassed blushing* It still seems like a long time, I'm sorry.

PensiveCrayon · April 2018

@runrinserepeat whaaaaaat?

maureenmce · April 2018

@runrinserepeat Wow 20 weeks! I wouldn't change OBs over the heart rate while running thing, but I *might* change over that. It's so long to wait!

runrinserepeat · April 2018

Usually she does a quick ultrasound at the first appointment and then sends me for a dating u/s. I’m still kinda hoping she’ll just sneak a quick peak? Ahhhh, so long.

I should still get to hear the heartbeat beat on the Doppler though, so at least there’s that.

texas_t · April 2018

@runrinserepeat Ugh! That's forever away! No fair!

texas_t · April 2018

Nothing we have at home sounds good to eat. This is lame.

maureenmce · April 2018

@texas_t Girl, same. And I just went on this huge kick about how we need to budget more and cut out unexpected expenses and...I basically want to go to the posh grocery store by work and spend $$$ on their fanciest salad and a pound of olives, lol.

texas_t · April 2018

@maureenmce OMG, that sounds delicious!!! I'm coming and having dinner at your house, lol

hkom · April 2018

@maureenmce I'm coming over too! A big fancy salad sounds AMAZING. I've been eating like absolute garbage because when it's time to eat, the only things i can seem to choke down are, like, boxed mac and cheese and I NEED VEGGIES. I did manage to eat a big carrot for a snack today so that's a start?

maureenmce · April 2018

@hkom and @texas_t Y'all are encouraging me when you should be discouraging me, lol. But yes, come on over for dinner. These salads are gooooood. (They're also like $13 a pound - yikes - but...I still really, really want one.)

rosebud332 · April 2018

@maureenmce Girl, you’re pregnant! We get to eat! ESPECIALLY if it involves veggies. I mean, you’re feeding your baby! (Am I being discouraging yet?

)

maureenmce · April 2018

@rosebud332 Lol, I'm going to print these messages out and show them to my husband when I explain our pricey dinner bill!

Activebaby · April 2018

First what is going on with all these ads on the app. Bump please fix this!!!
Are they also on the website? I’m going to have to check once the kids are in bed.
Second, I went to Five Guys and a bakery for dinner because h is working tonight and I don’t want to cook. Well turns out I can’t eat it because I’m grossed out by it. I managed to eat a 1/4 if it before gagging. That’s what I get.
ETA: ds1 is loving dinner. Ds2 is just causing destruction.

pickle-chips · April 2018

@runrinserepeat 20 weeks is the norm where I live. With BB-1 it felt like an eternity, because I assumed I'd get one between 8-13 weeks like everyone else on my bump board. NEWP.
