@mrsbaker89 I've been exhausted too, but have been having trouble sleeping and waking up in the night. Go for a walk though! It might energize you. The days I do some exercise I feel better both physically and mentally.
I work in a big building with a cafe at the bottom. I just went and got soup downstairs but they didn't have any more oyster crackers. So I had to eat my soup with saltines
@mrsbaker89 I've been so tired too. I have trouble sleeping though, waking up in the middle of the night. Like @creamcheeseplease said, exercising usually makes me feel better. It's just so hard to do when you're tired.
@creamcheeseplease sorry about the oyster crackers! that's literally my favorite part! I've gotten into this there's-nothing-I-want-to-eat-ever mood. -_- All I want is soup!
@mrsbaker89 plus one on the tiredness; like @creamcheeseplease and @mvc003 said exercise usually helps me, but I can only do it first thing in the morning or the tiredness wins. I tried waiting until 2pm on Saturday to go to the gym and it was like nope, did the most pathetic thing easy bike workout lol. But then Sunday I went first thing and was able to run 6 miles on the treadmill.
I jusy had had the most amazing soup- Amy’s organic lentil and vegetable (low sodium version because even that one the sodium is like woah). I’m all about the soup too! Yesterday I made the mistake of bringing a hard boiled egg to work as a snack, that did NOT get eaten, the thought of it made me want to throw up lol.
I feel y’all on the tiredness! I’m traveling for work this week and I crashed at the hotel before 9. I’ve just been sleeping so fitfully. I’ll fall asleep and wake up at 3 or 4 and toss and turn until my alarm goes off. Once the travels are done I’m looking forward to getting back into a routine, I’m hoping that will help.
My boss is taking me out to dinner and he’s big on pushing alcohol. I’m planning on saying I gave up booze for Lent. 😁
Add me to the exhausted train. Last night I just couldn’t stay asleep and kept tossing and turning. I can’t wait to get home and go to bed.
Anyone else’s appetite just acting weird lately? I thought it was too early to have aversions but I literally don’t feel hungry until mid-day but then the only thing that sounds appetizing is fast food. The regular stuff I eat just isn’t doing it for me. I really hope it doesn’t last long, as I don’t normally eat fast food.
This great to hear that I’m not the only one tired and just passing out lol. I still have an appetite though just not for fast food. All of a sudden I been wanting home cooked meals. As long as it’s not cold I’m going for a walk last evening.
I have a bad cold so I’m not sure if I’m tired because of that or pregnancy. I was nauseous earlier but that also could have been from post nasal drip. I ate and then felt better. I also haven’t been exercising at all since I’ve been sick. I plan on mostly just taking walks with my daughter since that’s all I was doing before.
Sleep....what’s sleep...🤪🥴... I am so exhausted. I’m going to join you ladies. I have a cold and have been up coughing the past few nights on top of my sons waking me up at 6:30 every morning. I could really use some zzzz’s....maybe I’ll attempt to go to bed early tonight...we shall see.
Ugh I feel you ladies on the exhaustion. If I don’t take a nap during the day, I’m completely useless by 7pm and that’s when my kids get rowdy! Then since I’m napping, I have a hard time sleeping at night. 🤦🏼♀️ And Im hungry all the time!!
Also on the tired side, it was so hard to exercise today, but I didn't yesterday so I made myself just get started, and once I did it wasn't so bad to finish. I took it a bit easier than usual, though. It really helped that DH and I are exercise partners so we inspire each other to keep it up.
So just prior to my first beta I got hit with the morning sickness (more like all day sickness!) bad for about 2-3 days. Also had some lower back pain. Last few days the MS has died down, not as intense. Also getting tired here and there at night. Has anyone had this diminishing symptoms in week 4-5? You know how we analyze every change :-/
I’m on the plane back to the frozen tundra from gorgeous Miami. I miss my hubby and pup but DAMN I am reeeeeally done with winter. We’re due for another 6-12 inches of snow this weekend. 😭😭😭😭
@rachelredhead I am usually all about an extended "winter" down here in TX but since I'm moving to AK in June I'm so ready for the summer heat to hit. I want to enjoy the pool before we go up there.
Excited because I had an ultrasound and saw the baby’s heart beating and it now has its fetal pole I had an ultrasound on Monday and there was only a yolk sac... it’s amazing how fast they develop.
@MusicalFamily that’s awesome! How far along are you again? I want to go in for an early ultrasound as well but I’m afraid they won’t see anything at 5 weeks.
Today is going to be fun. My daughter has dance and then we are meeting some friends at the zoo. I love taking my kids to the zoo. Plus the weather is suppose to be in the upper 70's so I'm going to soak up some of the warmth.
AFM, I'm at work and I have a bunch of meetings today so that's annoying. Tonight though I'm just hoping to relax, give myself a pedicure and go to bed early. It's been a long week somehow.
@mvc003 enjoy your trip. I haven't been to NYC since I was a child. As of now, that would be a trip when my kids are older. I don't want to be pushing a huge stroller around the city. Although, the ability to keep then contained is appealing. 😂
@creamcheeseplease enjoy your pedicure. I gave myself one of those last week.
I got back from a work trip yesterday and the hubs and I fly to STL today to see family and (maybe) run a half-marathon. I’m gonna play it by ear on whether I run. All the travel is wearing me out so I’m just gonna see how I feel.
Getting my second beta in a couple hours. Anxious and excited!
@emeraldcity1214 enjoy the zoo! I’m so jealous of the warm temperature your going to have today! It’s 35 out right now by me.. brrrrrr
@mvc003 enjoy the wedding! Hopefully you’re not too sleep deprived combined with daylights savings. But at least you won’t be nursing a hangover like everyone else!
@rachelredhead good luck on your beta results and good luck on the half if you decide to do it!
Im only working a half day today woot! So only 2 hours left at work. My parents are visiting this weekend for my dads birthday and we’re telling them today before we go out to dinner. I’m hoping they get here in time to go to a late lunch with me because despite the nausea I’m craving one of my favorite restaurants that MH doesn’t like as much as I do and he won’t be home yet so I can get my fix without dragging him haha
@emeraldcity1214 We took my son to NYC with us when he was 18 months and it was honestly one of the most child friendly trips we’ve taken. We used a baby carrier a lot and a compact umbrella stroller but just in general everything was very kid accessible and family friendly. Only thing we really missed out on was broadway.
@emeraldcity1214 love the name and we just went to the zoo on Sunday for DH's birthday, taking advantage of the mid-30s weather? Lol it started snowing as we left! It was still fun though, we mostly spent time in the pavilions, and DS (14 months) at least noticed a few of the animals.
Well, the zoo was pretty great. We had 2 big melt downs and they both caused a lot of stares but it was because he didn't take a nap on the way. The weather was nice except we got rained on a bit.
We have a birthday party tomorrow and then I need to clean the house. The living room looks like an explosion of toys. 🙄
So my husband has learned quickly that I'm the one making the food decisions now. I just went into the other room and said "I want vietnamese for lunch" and he said "if that's what baby wants that's what baby will get". He also brought home some pocky for me (I didnt ask for it, it was a surprise) and it was so sweet of him to think of me when he was at lunch with his coworkers yesterday lol
@justaplainbagel enjoy your lunch! Glad YH is on board with your food cravings haha.
@emeraldcity1214 glad you had fun at the zoo! I can’t wait to take my son this year (it will be his first time) once it gets warm. He loves animals.
Im about to take my son to get a haircut. Never fun lol. But since I’m at the mall I’m going to get some delicious mall food... probably Auntie Anne’s.
@creamcheeseplease DH is working out of a few days each month for the next several months and it's near a Sea World. I'm trying to get up the courage to take all my kids by myself while he works. I'm worried about all the walking and stroller lifting though. I got a SCH last pregnancy that grew really big and I'm worried over exerting myself may have been why it grew so big. I may go in May sometimes after I have had several US to endure the placenta is attaching correctly.
@emeraldcity1214 oh wow sea world sounds so awesome but yeah it’s a lot with all the kids. Maybe you can enlist a friend or someone to come with and help?
@kimmer1412 my pants are tight too 😕 I’m a little concerned since I would like to hide this at work for as long as possible due to my status (I’m a contract employee and I want to apply for an FT position, depending on what that would do to my eligibility for leave). I mean I know they can’t ask me even if I walk around visibly pregnant but still.
Speaking of tight pants has anyone gotten and liked the side panel maternity pants before? I’m curious about those before the bump is big enough to hold up the panel, but I didn’t buy any of those in my last pregnancy, just toughed it out and then went straight to full panel.
Also so it snowed here overnight 😕 not a lot but still. So over winter!
@creamcheeseplease I have never tried a side panel. They always look uncomfortable to me. As for Sea World, I'm thinking of asking my MIL if she wants to fly down and go with us.

What's everyone else up to today?
I’m heading on a super fast trip to NYC for a wedding. I’m dying to go back, but not excited about being tired and it’s day light savings on Sunday 😫
@emeraldcity1214 upper 70s sounds amazing. Enjoy the zoo!
