My dog had a cluster of bad seizures Friday night so we rushed him to emergency where he stayed almost 24 hours without much improvement. They recommend he be transferred to UC Davis for an MRI/ brain scans so my H picked him up last night and drove him the hour away... hoping to hear some good news today 🙏🏼

We are having a socially distant get together at our playground with a few of our neighbors this afternoon. Our state started opening up this past Friday but we are staying pretty secluded but sometimes we need adult conversations. It’s also supposed to have off and on thunderstorms today so I wouldn’t be upset if this gets broken up by those. I’m not really looking forward to it - my all day sickness is getting worse (I’m 6w5d today) and I always end up being mostly on kid watching duty and don’t get to sit and relax like everyone else.
Successfully got through a weekend with my parents without them realizing I'm pregnant. Probably helped that 2 weeks ago I told my mom I had my period (honestly thought I did, but turned out to be implantation bleeding). I know it's not ideal that they visited, but they needed a place to stay while driving up from Florida (they've also been very good about self-isolating, so we figure the risk is low).
Thanks everyone. He’s not fully reacting to seizure meds so they think it’s something else that’s causing them.

@bearmomma1 Hope they can figure it out and that he’s ok!
I had to give myself this little speech yesterday, just sharing in case anyone else needs to hear it: This is not a normal time to be pregnant. It’s always ok to not be perfect, but now more than ever. If you need to eat bagels and crackers all day and take a couple two hour naps just to get through the day, that’s ok. You can forgive yourself for not being the perfect, healthy-eating, yoga-every day, power walking, read-every-book pregnant lady. It’s ok to be sad sometimes about the state of the world we’re in. Just do what you need to stay sane and be kind - to others and yourself.
I think I am over the grocery store situation. My family does not want me going to the store, so I have been putting orders in for them to pick up. I have been putting orders in every two weeks, but what I am able to eat changes a lot faster than that. Like avocadoes were good for a minute, so I have a bunch of those. Now I can't stand to look at them. Ginger ale might be nice, but need to wait to order it. I appreciate @laurenspdx sentiments that we are all doing the best we can right now. Just wish that part of this could be easier. (Although if it was, I would probably be back at work. That would be its own mess of problems as well).
@dobiemom11 for real. We can't get grocery delivery here (it's nearly impossible, I did a regular two day delivery from Costco 12 days ago that hasn't shipped yet). And when people DO get delivery, they don't get half of what they picked. I would probably blow a gasket. I do my shopping by myself at Trader Joe's since at least it's a small store and generally very well cleaned, let alone now. I go every 8-10 days depending on how much milk DS chugs. I wear a mask and don't touch my face until I get home to wash. No Rona yet (that we know of).
@willashbaby. It might actually be an okay thing. I had to pick up a prescription today and just wandered around the drug store putting different things in my bucket. My husband was like you came home with multiple types of Twizzlers. The baby wanted them! I was able to get some stuff that will hopefully settle my stomach, but the candy aisle was brutal.
