Re: Randoms - Week of 3/11
I have tomorrow off for my son's birthday. I think we're going to take him to an indoor play place and lunch. I'm not feeling so great so I'm hoping I can power through it all.
Ive got a wedding coming up on Saturday and I’m low-key freaking out about it. I’m a bridesmaid and all my girlfriends who are also in the bridal party know we’re trying and know my love of wine. There’s no way they won’t notice when I don’t have mimosas with everyone. My one friend even told me after the bridal shower back in January that she’s going to notice if I’m not drinking so she’s going to have hawk eyes on me. The bride made a prediction that three of her bridesmaids would be pregnant for the wedding and I’ve made that come true (2 others are 20 & 22 weeks). Also I have been soooo nauseous since Sunday so it’s going to be fun... lol 🤦🏼♀️
@kopp5988 Peppermint always helps me. I eat a lot of peppermint Altoids when I feel nauseated (although maybe that's a little too close to ginger). Also, I second the preggie pops or sour candy @creamcheeseplease suggested! Have you all tried the sea bands? I used them when I was pregnant with my son, and they seemed to help, but it might have been all psychological! They're really ugly, so I had to hide them under long sleeves too, which probably won't help at the wedding! Good luck!
@mvc003 That's so funny about your BIL. I'm not sure any of my family members are that perceptive!
@kopp5988 oh man that's going to be tough to hide.
My MIL will be home for the weekend (she works OOT) and will notice I'm not drinking so we've decided to tell our parents this weekend but we'll wait until 2nd tri to tell everyone else. I'm excited and nervous to tell family.
@mvc003 I hope you BIL kept it quiet!
@abbsters-2 if the preggie pops don’t work I’ll try peppermint next! I got one flavor that raspberry ginger and hoping the raspberry will mask the ginger enough. Sea bands will be my last resort because I don’t want someone at work to see it.
Because we did IVF and I'm an open book about our infertility journey, so many people knew we were cycling. So quite a few people (immediate family and a handful of friends) already know about this pregnancy. I have a girls night with a few friends Saturday, and one of them already knows. The other 2 surely will by the end of the night.
I have 2 friends visiting from out of town this week and have no idea how I'm going to hide it. Especially since I've been really crabby and tired...I just hope I'm nice to them lol.
I have already had a full day with the kids. We did school, planted our flowers, I bathed them all, fed them all a big lunch, and then put them all down for a nap. Now I'm watching some Grey's and eating cookies.
I have never spoken to my OB about getting dental xrays so I'm not sure what their opinion would be. I'm sure every OB's opinion would differ somewhat depending on how comfortable they were with it.
If you need anesthetic during any procedure, your obs office should give them a list of approved anesthetics that can be used. I felt like I was getting written correspondence all the time when I worked in dental lol.
@xilovemybabiesx the exhaustion is no joke right now! I get off work at 430 and yesterday I accidentally took a nap from like, 5 to 8. I felt really guilty not getting anything accomplished all night 😖
I took advantage of my decreased nausea and the 70 degree temperature yesterday and got in a 7 mile run after work. Felt so good, even though I was a little tired, but I didn’t know when I’d feel that not-nauseous again and wanted to feel a bit like my old self again.
This is our first, and we are so excited to share! On MH side, it will be the first grandchild! My sister has 2 kids, so they'll get a new cousin! What has everyone decided or done in the past as far as sharing news? I appreciate the input!
@kopp5988 7 miles, wow that's great! I wish I was in 7 mile shape right now. I'm hoping for 2-3 today. It should be 60!
@creamcheeseplease hopefully you can get out there and enjoy a run in the nice weather! It was my first 7 miler in a while after being out of running most of 2018 with an injury but I’m trying to slowly ramp up for a half in May.
I do believe every baby should be celebrated though which is one reason I always shared the news right away. It just depends on what you're comfortable with.
As for sharing, we told our parents the day we found out. But we did IVF and they knew about that, so they were anxiously waiting for news as much as we were. Now at 5 weeks, way more people know right now than I intended but I was super open about our fertility journey so that comes with the territory. I'm also of the mindset that a baby is a celebration for us, so sharing is such a personal decision and to each their own on what is decided.
