My allergies are killing me, and my mind is in a fog from having the last 5 days off of work. Thank God I have a 4 day work week, because I'm barely hanging on. I've only been at work for 2.5 hours.
Yeah, I’ve totally been enjoying my maternity pants. Sure I’m mostly the same size, but they make such a huge difference when sitting. I wonder how long I’ll wear mat pants PP?

@echo-charlietango You may be surprised. I swore I was never going back to regular pants but once the baby was out I wanted to distance myself from those damn full panels as soon as possible. (Also the sudden lack of belly made them slip down a lot more.) I ended up buying a larger size of cheap jeans at Target to get me through. This was still while I was in Utah, so probably only a week after A was born.
Now, though, I’m surprised by how positive toward them I feel again. So nice to let the flub hang out.

WHY do people post those stupid polls on their IG stories?! I always tap thru them too fast, and end up accidentally voting on them. I just voted thumbs down on someone's outfit
@Hollyyyyy IG has polls now? Oy vey. I have no patience for that platform. Sorry that folks don’t take one second to notify others of upcoming story participation! Also sorry that adults lack the confidence to pick their own outfits.
(PS, my outfit today is probably thumbs-down worthy, but it is comfortable, so anyone who doesn’t like it can just suffer/look away )

@echo-charlietango You're not wrong. I have seen them when the poster is involved in some sort of MLM/Pyramid Scheme, like "Are you interested in Beach Body?" "Want to know more about Essential Oils?" Otherwise it seems to be more for fishing for compliments (hence the outfit poll) Stupid.
@Hollyyyyy Yikes, I have not seen those - I only used IG for two weeks before I was fed up with everybody's cries for attention and "OMG look at my baby" when I was struggling to conceive. Luckily I have enough MLM friends on FB that I don't need to go far at all for the fishing. Uuuugghhh. Remember when photos were shared without prior staging and advanced editing? Those were the days.

I use IG more than Facebook. I never update the apps though so I don’t think I have polls yet lol. Honestly I like just the pictures way more than the comments and articles and fakenews on Facebook.
I don't understand the point of stories on Instagram or Facebook in general. Like what exactly is the point? If you're gonna make a story out of something, why not just make a regular post?
@runrinserepeat I prefer IG as well. I have FB, but literally have not posted on it for probably over 5 years. I keep it since it's linked to my Candy Crush account (lol), and I have a ton of industry contacts on there.
OMG DH and I just watched Coco tonight since it's on Netflix now. DS had to go to bed about halfway thru, but man I'm almost glad. I bawled like a baby. Even DH was crying and I've only ever seen him cry one other time, and never over something like a movie. Guys, if you haven't seen it, you need to. But at the same time, I'm not sure if watching it for the first time while pregnant and hormonal is the best idea
ETA I guess I could have put this in Why My Pregnant Self Is Crying...I kind of forget that thread exists lol.
Guys, I got sooooo much done today! My kid took a 2 1/2-hour unicorn nap (seriously, he’s only napped this long a handful of times in his life — I’m attributing it to severe sleep deprivation over the past couple days) so I was able to completely unpack from our trip, get the laundry started, plan meals for the week, and write my grocery list while he slept. Also H and I WDTPT.
Then! After the babe’s PT at 1 we came back and went on a walk, got the groceries (he was a freaking gem and I came in under my weekly budget to boot), I made a nice supper, and got him in bed on time.
THEN! H is flying nights this week so my evening was distraction-free. I folded and put away all the laundry, bleached the babe’s diapers, made @echo-charlietango’s watermelon aguas frescas, fried up a breakfast skillet for the week, cleaned up the entire kitchen, and had a nice chat with my dad.
My butt hurts and I’m ready for bed. But all in all, not a bad Tuesday!
P.S. I take naps nearly every day, but today for some reason I just didn’t get my normal afternoon slump. Maybe it was the walk, I’m not sure. I’d give it up if I felt this good every day!

@CecilB93 Thanks for the tip that Coco is on Netflix! I need to watch it. I'm actually currently working with one of the cultural consultants for the movie and haven't admitted to not seeing the movie. Ha.
@PensiveCrayon Can you come to my house and be that productive??
Also, my car died this morning. I cried a lot (could have put this in why my pregnant self is crying or Tuesday TW). I just paid this damn thing off in March. My husband knows about cars, so he tried to reassure me that it could be something quick and easy. I on the other hand, believe that it is likely something expensive and time consuming, because that is my life. I will now be looking for a new car online today.
@Jens_Hoes Totally there today in my work pants. Bad choice.. Maybe they'd fit better if I could poop.
@CecilB93 I watched that movie when I was pregnant with DS that had all those emotions (the cartoon movie with the girl who moves with her mom and dad and we see the emotions in her head) and it totally made me cry. I can't for the life of me think of the name! Was it called Joy??
My random is that I want all the food. All the time. I try to eat relatively healthy for the most part but I am SO HUNGRY and I feel like I shouldn't be.
Also, I have my first sonogram today at 9w 4d and I am super nervous.

@Jens_Hoes fx that it's a quick/cheap fix- at least your husband has car knowledge, I feel like that's always helpful in knowing if you're getting a fair price for repair.
GUYS I AM GOING HOME TOMORROW!!! Ever since learning I'm pregnant my homesickness has been real. I'm homesick for everything- people, food, air conditioning, cars, less cigarette smoking, the English language, I miss it all. I'll be in the States for 4 weeks, and my husband will be joining me after 2... and after he moves us from one apartment to another without me there to help I feel bad I won't be here to help but feel sooo happy to be going home. Ugh I can taste the root beer floats already!
@deutschmama safe travels!! That's awesome you'll be home for a solid chunk of time! I went to Spain a couple years ago for two weeks and I didn't realize how much I miss hearing people speak English around me! Enjoy your time!
@deutschmama I hope you have an amazing month back home!! How much longer are you going to be in Germany? Will you be having baby over there? Safe travels!

@CecilB93 I saw Coco not pregnant and cried like a baby.
@hkom I don't get IG stories either. They have them on FB now too. I never watch them, just make it a regular post!

@AdorkablePixie@Llynde5 yes, it's called Inside Out! I love that movie. DH hates it because sadness makes him angry.. which is ironic.
@echo-charlietango your watermelon fancy drink hit the spot for me last night. Thanks again for sharing I'm excited to try more!
I put some Jergens Natural Glow on this morning in hopes to look a little less ghostly for the beginning of our wedding season next week and I smell like crap. What instant tanning lotions don't small bad?
@AdorkablePixie We watched Inside Out when I was working at a school and I totally cried. I was not pregnant either. I also cried while watching Waiting for Superman at school. And also while we were on a field trip to the Holocaust Museum. Those kids saw me cry a lot.
@PensiveCrayon nice work! I folded half a load of laundry yesterday and was ready to be done. Lol, I guess I need to step it up!
@kadeephd Waiting for Superman just made me really angry. I watched it years ago, so I don’t remember all of the details, but it just felt like, to me, that they didn’t offer any solutions to make public schools actually work. It was just advertising vouchers and private schools.
@tumbleweed-1 I am not a proponent of school choice so I put off watching it for a long time. I was forced to at school. I cried because of how we are failing these kids.
Too lazy to scroll back but thanks for the tip on Coco! I haven't seen it yet, but it's on my list.
Also re: yesterday's productivity, I actually googled whether there's such a thing as mild bipolar disorder and there is but I've concluded that I don't have it. I think it's just comes down to the fact that one of my first-trimester symptoms is lack of motivation to do anything. Same thing happened last time around. Fun!
