@izzfrancisco I do like the idea of a working mom thread - it feels like we're all getting close to (or have already?) telling work, so it may be time. I haven't told my boss yet, although she knows we've been trying, simply because we haven't been in the office at the same time literally for the last 6 weeks.
@kayjay44 When I was pregnant with DS the guy at Starbucks asked DAILY if I was sure I didn't want decaf - and he had the balls to fucking WINK at me when he asked. By about 20 weeks I started to just played dumb and asked why in the world I would want decaf. He gestured to my stomach and winked again. I continued to pretend like I had no idea what in the world would cause me to want decaf and returned that awkwardness to sender real quick. He didn't ask anymore.
I only limit caffeine in first tri - I limit to 250 mg a day. After that, it's fair game. I want this baby used to caffeine so I can drink as much as I need PP while BFing.
I’ve gotten openly hostile towards people when they’ve tried to shame me for my coffee. I limit to the recommended amount, but I’ll be damned if I’m giving up my life source. Lol
My other random for the day: I finally broke down and got Zofran. I never did this with the other two kids, but I just couldn’t suffer any more. It’s been so bad this time around. Way worse than the last two. It was really starting to mess with my mind and man is it nice not been nauseous right now. I’ve actually gotten some stuff done today! I wish I would have just gotten it sooner.
@PurplePoppy424 - I never used it during pregnancy before (just for the annual norovirus attacks at our house). Man, it's a game changer. Make sure you take some colace with it or you will regret it.
Today I finally pulled the trigger and got a robotic vacuum on Prime. With soon to be 3 littles 3 and under and 2 dogs it was much needed. That combined with my first grocery pickup order today, and this is the happiest I’ve been in awhile. What does that say about me?
@LuLiLaEv ugh I messed up quoting. The robotic vacuum will change your life!
Mom of the year. Tossed on Netflix and hopped into a hot bubble bath. Maybe this will give me enough energy to feed my kids something other than Lunchables for the second time today.
Just called my midwife who was with me through my first loss. She has offered to give me the paperwork for my 12 week scan and blood test without doing a full consult as I am feeling pretty anxious about this pregnancy because of the sch. This month better go fast, I want to be able to celebrate this instead of being stressed all the time.
After my appointment today I was starving and met DH and DS at Drake’s for lunch. I got the most delicious sushi (fully cooked, don’t @ me) and I cannot stop thinking about it. DS are tater tots and nothing else, and I just don’t have the energy to feel guilty about that.
@BourbonBiscuits - I’ve had raw fish twice since I found out. No illness or worms yet. Since the fish is so fresh here, I’m not worried about it. Women in Japan live on raw fish while pregnant.
@kayjay44 there’s not a lot of good fresh seafood in Kentucky ... lol lots of freshwater fish, but we’re pretty far from any reputable seafood out here. Which is heartbreaking
Today is national hot dog day. I will be happily celebrating.
Oh how I wish I wanted a hot dog. I LOVE the Sonic one with pickles and tiny hot peppers and onion. My non-nauseated self would house that in an instant.
Tomorrow is my first appointment. I’m terrified I’m not going to get good news. Way more so than the last two. It’s so freaking stupid. I have no reason to believe things aren’t going well. I literally am just a nervous ball of energy right now thinking about tomorrow.
@purplepoppy424 sending lots of good vibes your way. Keep us posted.
I went to the Billy Joel concert last night for my cousins birthday and when I bought the tickets I had NO idea it was his 100th show at MSG. What an awesome concert...he was amazing and brought Bruce Springsteen out on stage too! I feel hungover not sure why hahaha but I definitely stayed up past my bedtime. Here’s to a sleepy work day today
My rack is beyond huge (and I am already huge on top) now to the point that my almost two year old son keeps pulling down my shirt and poking them. Even he notices. I feel like people at work are going to know I am pg just because of that! Ack

@danixbanani24 that sounds like an amazing concert! Totally worth losing sleep over I’d say!
