New week, new randoms!

galentine · February 2019

What is everyone up to today? I have the day off work, which is good because the nausea is kicking my butt. I'm going to channel my inner sloth and not move from the couch at all today.

LMMama · February 2019

I'm working at home, but my kids are here so there isn't much work happening.I was in sloth mode all weekend, so I've made a deal with myself to be productive at least every other day if I'm feeling relatively okay. Today I'll do some work, work out, and take my kids bowling.

brownbarista · February 2019

Some cousins-in-law invited my kids and I to go to the zoo with them. Great, we love the zoo. Except I am nervous about handling my kids with in-law family without my husband’s help. I really hope they behave well and aren’t too wild. 😬

brownbarista · February 2019

@galentine Couch sloth sounds lovely. Enjoy!

prpl11butterfly · February 2019

@galentine I spent most of yesterday in sloth mode. I maybe folded 2 baskets of laundry but not much else.

@LMMama yea, kids and WFH really don't mix.....

@brownbarista fx they behave.... it's always such a toss up. They'll either be total angles or total maniacs!

Not much happening in my world. Niece isnt home this vacation and DH will be headed out for a business trip tomorrow. Going to be a nice quiet mama/DS week. And mama's gonna Netflix binge after bedtime!

mchalfpint · February 2019

I'm at work today, but my focus is absolutely 100% NOT! I feel a little guilty about it. Until we go public with this pregnancy it's like the largest secret on my shoulders and I'm struggling! Thankfully it's a quiet day at work for me, then we have dinner with the in-laws tonight - a regular every-other-week date, but our first since I got my BFP.

prpl11butterfly · February 2019

@mchalfpint I feel you on the secret. I've told my coworkers about my pregnancies before but I'm starting to feel like the boy who cried wolf. I don't know when I'll cave but I think my office mate is starting to get suspicious. She overheard a phone conversation with my mom in which some things were said. I've been totally open about my situation so I'd be more surprised if she hasnt already figured it out.

cmbt2 · February 2019

I did the leg work to file our taxes today instead of napping. I call that a win.

cooaladolly · February 2019

I lost all the baby weight from my last pregnancy but not the bump, due to my lazy butt never exercising it off. The other day I caught my super-duper, overly nosy, overly judgey, co-worker side eyeing my belly and it's been bothering me since. I know when I finally do announce at work she's gonna be all "I knew it". Meanwhile this last week I've actually still been losing weight. She's such an annoying 'thinks she knows it all'.

kindbytealikat · February 2019

Add me to sloth mode, well mostly. I had to leave the house to get something notarized and run to the grocery store, but I've done nothing else today. I also feel like hell today so there's that. Idk if it's pregnancy stuff or if I've picked up a bug or if its from the amount of progesterone i'm taking(200mg twice a day)

brownbarista · February 2019

@prpl11butterfly They did okay. Not great but not terrible. The family didn’t mind them running around because “they’re so cute” so at least I wasn’t judged. 😂 I was exhausted by the time we got home though.

sorarose · February 2019

I woke up this morning just to take a nap a couple hours later. But we did get some good family pizza outing and grocery shopping in. I enjoyed our 3 day weekend with DH doing the heavy lifting because I'm exhausted. Hoping our first day back to the regular schedule tomorrow goes okay.

galentine · February 2019

I woke up this morning to more MS. I sprinted to the bathroom and was sick for a few minutes. When I came out, I expected to get some hugs and hair pats from my husband, but instead he said, "I don't feel well today." Excuse me, YOU don't feel well?! He has the dreaded Man Cold. Can I blame pregnancy for being irritable with him today? 🙄

manillabar · February 2019

@galentine omg huge eyeroll to your husband 🙄

ETA: they really don’t get it. I remember when I was pregnant with my first, my husband told me once that I shouldn’t force myself to vomit 🙄. I was like “I’m not forcing myself, I’m involuntarily dry heaving!!”🤬🤬🤬. He never said anything like that again lol

nyshopgirl152 · February 2019

@galentine @manillabar Husbands are not having a good day today. I had terrible stomach pain last night that kept me awake. This morning I woke up instantly nauseous. I go to DH for a hug and he asks what's wrong. I tell him I'm not feeling well and he says, "Ugh, is this what the next 8 months are going to be like?" I said no thinking, this is a first trimester thing you oblivious buffoon (too strong?). He says, "Well you haven't been feeling well every day!" He was right, this is going to be a long 8 months.

galentine · February 2019

@manillabar and @nyshopgirl152, I really shouldn't complain, because my H has been so sweet and sympathetic, and he has been taking great care of me while I have been feeling ill. It was just something about the poor timing of the comment that I just had to share here. Like REALLY, H? Come on, man! 😂

brownbarista · February 2019

@galentine oh buddy...no. Just no. 😂

My husband doesn't believe pregnancy cravings are a thing. He thinks you should just control yourself. I can't get him to understand the giant finger poking you in the back of the brain 47,000 times an hour trying to get you to eat that thing.

The next time your H says something like, "wintersong, can you make that pot roast of yours that I love so much? I've been craving it" that you should tell him to just control himself 😂

I should. He us supposed to be on a low cholesterol diet and is TOTALLY on board with that unless he feels like he wants something (example: hamburger). Like, eating a diet means you follow it EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO....

wintersong · February 2019

Also: does anyone else have to click on all the threads even if they don't want to read them so that everything shows up as "read" in the list? No? Just me?

prpl11butterfly · February 2019

@wintersong 🙋‍♀️

cooaladolly · February 2019

I'm not sure if this is a TMI or an LOL: sitting in the doctor's office (rheumatologist this time) and I have the worst gas, but it's a small office so I'm so afraid to let anything pass because of course the doctor will surely walk in right then. But eek holding it in is making me more nauseous! I can't tell which is worse. Please hurry mr. Doctor!

kindbytealikat · February 2019

@wintersong I do that too.

greenbean-2 · February 2019

A random rant: doctors offices shouldn’t tell you that you’ll get results tomorrow if they really mean they’ll get the results tomorrow and you’ll get them at some future date after your doctor has a chance to look at them.

I’m impatiently waiting for the results of my betas, and the office isn’t open much longer today.

Do you have an online portal? All my labs are sent to the hospital so I’m able to log on to the portal to see them myself

greenbean-2 · February 2019

@cmbt2 I spoke too soon! They just called

galentine · February 2019

@greenbean-2, glad you got the results!

ceclarlinetlo · February 2019

I know myself well enough to know I am heading towards a bad place mentally/emotionally, so I am trying to be proactive as much as possible to minimize stressful inputs. As nice as having this place to give support and recieve support is, I think that participating may be fueling some of my obsesive thoughts, I need to take a break until I can get to a better place mentally. I do hope to come back but I don’t treally know if/when that will be. In the meantime I hope everyone has a healthy, happy and boring 8 more months.

galentine · February 2019

@ceclarlinetlo, I'm so sorry you feel like you are going to a bad place. I hope the break gives you the clarity you need, and I hope you'll be able to come back with a clear head soon. We'll miss you!!

greenbean-2 · February 2019

@ceclarlinetlo Kudos for recognizing what you need and what is just creating more stress in your life. I hope to see you back here soon, but if not, I wish you a happy and healthy 8 more months.

manillabar · February 2019

@ceclarlinetlo I completely understand. Hope you’re able to get the mental rest that you need. We’ll be waiting with open arms if/when you come back. Wishing you all the best ❤️❤️

cooaladolly · February 2019

@ceclarlinetlo I've been there too. In fact it's why I don't actually participate in certain threads. Give yourself as much time as you need and I hope you feel your best you soon!

Schumerator · February 2019

@ceclarlinetlo I’m sorry lady, take as much time as you need and I hope we see you back! Thanks for all the support you’ve showed to others ❤️

@galentine husbands can be the WORST with that stuff. MH always jokes that “we” are going through this and both struggling and both craving and he just thinks he’s the funniest with those jokes 😆 but! One time after DS was born he was maybe 6 weeks and was starting to wake more and cluster feed through out the night, he turns over to me at like 7 am after having slept since probably 10 or 11 and goes “oh my gosh I’m soooo tired!” And I was like 🤨😳🙃 basically probably had crazy eyes and he goes “what am I never allowed to say I’m tired ever again?” And I said yes. That is exactly right. Please do not ever say that to me again. 🤣 It gets better but at the moment I just was dumbfounded that those words came out of his mouth!

prpl11butterfly · February 2019

@Schumerator omg yes!!! Even now when MH says he's tired I get crazy. Oh, I'm sorry, did you spend 30 min awake in bed "waiting" for toddler to wake up (because our bodies just KNOW thses things) and then 30min laying with him until he fell alseep again followed by another hour of trying to fall back to sleep you self last night? No, you didn't? Ok, STFU then.....

melanier26 · February 2019

My husband had a work meeting that ran late. He’s usually home and done working by 6...it’s 6:40 and I haven’t heard from him that he’s on his way home. My anger towards him is definitely escalated by the fact that he’s bringing dinner home and I’m starving and there’s not a damn thing in the house that I want to eat...

Almost an hour (and full stomach) later, I am sane again. The only thing worse than hangry me is pregnant hangry me 👹

nachellebeck13 · February 2019

I'm debbie downing this randoms with a vroooom.

I've been absent from lurking, but I'll go back and catch up.

We lost my Grandmother unexpectedly (is it ever really expected) on Monday. I found her unresponsive in her recliner on Friday night (she lived with us) and called 911. She suffered another stroke, this time was a major brain bleed.
I basically watched her wither away over the weekend and then had to tell my 5 year old. They were inseparable. He was sad...but I don't think he really understands the finality of it all.

I'm sad she won't get to meet her second great grandbaby. She was like a second mother to me. We spent time with her when my dad couldn't make it for his visitation weekends (so every other weekend from 6 to 18 years old).

cooaladolly · February 2019

@nachellebeck13 I'm so sorry for your loss. Grandparents really hold a special place and losing them is so hard. I hope you have a lot of family support.

manillabar · February 2019

@nachellebeck13 so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to be the one who found her. I’ll be praying for comfort and peace for you and your family.
