@modoodles my close friend has a goldendoodle and, I swear, those dogs will eat anything! A few halloweens ago he ate one of my socks and threw it up a week later... yuck!
I got some munchkins otw to work after my US and then thought... okay, maybe I'll just announce with these. My RE said that, at this point, with a HB present and all the genetic testing we've had done, we're at a 90-95% live birth rate. So, that feels safe. And then I panicked and changed my mind back to, nope! Gonna just get big and let them ask when they ask. So, now, everyone is eating my announcement munchkins, announcement free lol
@blaf322 tbh, this sounds sort of fun to me. Like... who's going to be the bold one to straight up ask first? If my office politics were different, I'd love to try doing that.
@blaf322 I found out very quickly that it was just a good idea to keep hydrogen peroxide handy to induce vomiting with this doofus. I did a ragnar a couple of months after getting her; and as I was emptying my bags to wash she grabbed a sock and ran. I hobbled along trying to catch her before she ate it, but it was a no-go. She ate it too fast They were fairly expensive running socks too!
@modoodles whoa! I'm impressed that you completed a ragnar! My BFF's H just did one. He was living his best, night trail running, life and we all thought he was nuts lol... He also did a trail half while I was there for my dinky 5k so, he's just on a different level than I am
@blaf322 welp, that 2 years & thirty pounds ago LOL. I did the Bourbon Chase Ragnar in Kentucky with a team I have run other relays with previously. I ran all through my last pregnancy, and was in waaaay better shape than I am right now.
I'm meeting up with one of the moms from DD's BMB to cheer her on for her half marathon tomorrow morning... but that means I have to drive about 5 hours after work to get to Richmond, VA Just hoping to not be super nauseous during the drive and that going to bed before 9pm last night gives me some energy tonight!
We have plans to meet up with some of the other girls for dinner tomorrow night though. I'm excited to get some QT in with a few of my faves... Even if it means a million hours of driving this weekend
@KatieEl I knoooooow... my friend is going to freeze her tail off. I'll be warm in my car, tracking her progress so I can get out when she's getting close to the mid-way cheer point and end lol
BTW, if you have any suggestions for things to do while we're there, let me know! We haven't seen each other since the big group trip this summer, so we may end up taking it easy between race and dinner... but some ideas if she's up to it would be nice if you have any!
@blaf322 the VMFA is awesome if you like art (and inside!) otherwise, it's fun to walk/eat/drink (coffee lol) down Cary St. (Carytown). Do you need dinner suggestions?

@KatieEl yaaaay! My BFF and I were pregnant together with our girls. It's so much fun to always have a sober friend at get togethers and to be on ML together FX for her!!
We took family pictures this morning and I bribed the kids with donuts...did not think through I was going to have to go into the donut shop looking like a disco ball 😬😂

Anyone else hanging out here today? I've got some randoms.
1. We went to see Charlie's Angels yesterday and I loved it. It was, obviously mediocre plot but it was funny and I loved Kristen Stewart in it.
2. I think I'm getting a cold.
3. I went to a friend's house for a hostess party of some sort- ugh- and I got there half an hour late and avoided the wine, but I wasn't even there for 20 minutes before this conversation happened. Her: So when is the baby due? Me: What? Her: The baby, when's the baby due? Me: Who's baby? Her: Yours! You were expecting, right? Oh no- did you lose the baby? Me: We had a mc in September. Her: (Tearing up) I'm so sorry, I'm the worst at putting my foot in my mouth Me: (also tearing up) It's ok, and, we aren't sharing yet because it's so early, but we did find out I am pregnant again a few days ago.
She was definitely not getting the hint, and I could have let her feel awful for even asking, but she is a very close friend. She never mentioned it again, and I know she won't broadcast it. It was just- the first time I'd seen a friend since we found out and it was a deer-in-the-headlights, put-me-on-the-spot moment.
4. Yesterday I went to lunch with dh and got a huge, beautiful, hot chocolate and shared it to my snapchat story. Another friend (who knows we were trying) sent me a snap saying, "That's not wine or liquor. I'm getting vibes." I snapped her back and told her I love my hot chocolate with salted caramel crown... I'm apparently going to have to be super careful to keep it on the down-low if a snap like that will out me!
@modoodles yeesh! sounds like you need to be careful to not let the secret get out too soon. You've got some friends with a 6th sense.
Sorry to hear you're getting a cold. I got sick right at the beginning of my 1st pregnancy and it was rough. Lemon tea and some honey saved me. Hope you feel better soon!
I've been into hot cocoa and chocolate milk lately, too. It's been fulfilling my coffee need, but I have to be careful with all the calories. Have you tried the hot cocoa mix from Williams Sonoma? It's sooo good! It's not a powder; it's actual flaked chocolate. They should have it there now for the holidays.
@modoodles girl, your friends are on. top. of. it. It sounds like you're about to have to go on a social media hiatus Our house is a cough/cold disaster area right now so I feel you on the cold. DH and I were awake from 2-4am coughing last night and keeping each other awake. The good news is, I was able to google what I can take during that time and it looks like both Mucinex and Robitussin DM are safe. One of those plus some Tylenol might help you feel better, if they're needed!
@blaf322 what's really awesome is that one of the girls is a good friend from my August 2012 bmb!
Thanks for the meds info! I'll probably have my husband bring something home- I'm definitely not going out unless I have to. I had betas and a thyroid check this morning, (should have results tonight!) and have been running a fever since yesterday afternoon. I woke up with a cold sore today. Hot mess Express over here! I hope you are feeling better soon!
