It's May...Hooray!

name1109 · May 2020

My random continues...anyone else still mentally realizing they're pregnant? I'm wearing my compression stockings and had some awful bouts of morning sickness and insomnia so the signs are all there...But it's been kind of surreal. I so can't wait to feel her kicking around in there!!!! Previous pregnancies I felt a "fish" feeling right around now-ish. I'm really hoping for that soon. Baby is growing as is my belly! Holy smokes I'm so excited. BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hedgepig · May 2020

@name1109 This time it has felt so much more real to me to know the baby's sex, and also because my belly is getting bigger quicker! It took a while to sink in for sure, but is feeling pretty real now. I do still have that unreal feeling from time to time though! I'm excited about what you said about feeling a fish around now - last time I had an anterior placenta and didn't feel movement until 18 or 20 weeks, but I thought I might have felt a little fishy flip the other day, so I am hoping this time is different. It all feels so much more real when you can feel baby move!!

On a related note, I can't believe that my A/S is only 6 weeks away!! So soon!

⚠️ It’s a Rant!

Today is my first day back in the office. I’m starving and nothing here sounds good. I just want my pickles in my fridge at home!!! 😫😫😫...
and why am I here, I have been here for 8 hours and have talked to only one coworker. There is no point in being here... they keep sending reassuring emails that admin have been cleaning the office with Lysol. I’m not worried about my office or coworkers infecting me. I’m more worried about the elevators and the parking garage door handles, and people roaming the halls of our 12 story office building.Its a downtown building so we get plenty of riffraff.

@name1109 @hedgepig it's just now hitting me that I'm actually pregnant since I saw baby dancing around in my belly on an ultrasound last week. I can't believe it. With DS I had done so much research and preparation by this time because of the excitement. I haven't even thought of announcing it or baby names or really anything lol. I also had an anterior placenta with DS and I'm hoping SO BAD that its posterior this time. I didnt feel baby kicks until 22 weeks with him.

@potofgolden ugh that sounds so stressful

dumbledoredies · May 2020

I legit cant wait to get off this app. It drives me crazy how if I'm commenting on something and I go to look something up or grab a gif I have to go through the entire process of clicking on the community and finding the thread I was on all over again.

lurvleybunchococonuts · May 2020

@dumbledoredies I was super hesitant to switch to FB when my BMB moved. I had been on TB for over a year in TTGP and then moving to my BMB so I was sooooo comfortable using the app and looking up gifs etc. Now I'm like WTAF how did I do this?!

krystrist2014 · May 2020

@lurvleybunchococonuts I was the same when I was in the D14 BMB. There was a huge switch to FB at one point and a smaller group of snarky ladies was like, no way! I stuck with that group until eventually we were all comfortable enough with each other to make the move to FB but that literally wasn’t until after all the babies were born!! I’ve been lurking some of the other BMBs and they seem to be making the move to FB sooooo early on! Im worries the same could happen here and I’m just so not ready yet.

I do agree though that the app is a pain In the ass @dumbledoredies!

krystrist2014 · May 2020

I currently have an obsession with tomatoes! I have to buy 2 of these 1.5lb containers of tomatoes every week! (Pic in spoiler) I bought two on Saturday and have already finished one and now working on the second one and it’s only Tuesday!

windywoman · May 2020

My problem with the app is it will not load on my phone unless I turn off wifi and use data. I don't get it. It also won't load on my kindle at all.

My random.... my DH went back to work yesterday because construction was deemed essential and it was actually kinda nice have some alone time at naptime. I also feel like I was able to get more done.

mimser · May 2020

@windywoman My fiancé will also be back to work on Monday because construction is being deconfined. As much as I'm worried he'll bring COVID-19 into the house, I'm also sort of looking forward to some alone time...

jaclyn0405 · May 2020

@windywoman @mimser My husband went back on Monday and while I miss him and all the food he would cook for me, I am kind of happy he is back as well! My DD is back on her routine of going to my in-laws and I actually took a 35 minute nap today and was shocked. I NEVER do that, but I needed it and couldn't have pulled it off these last (5) weeks.

dumbledoredies · May 2020

@lurvleybunchococonuts @krystrist2014 I mean, I'm definitely not in a rush to move to FB. This app is just such a PITA to use and it's so hard to keep up 😆.

Barfing at the thought of eating all those tomatoes. Yuck. I hate tomatoes lol.

I'm slightly jealous of everyone who's husband is going to work. DH is WFH for the foreseeable future. Unless the virus disappears it will most likely be through the end of the year. Oh well. DS isnt napping anymore so it's not like I get alone time anyways *sobs*

hedgepig · May 2020

@krystrist2014 @lurvleybunchococonuts I am with you ladies about not wanting to move too early to FB. I guess I'm just too private to be ready for that until I get to know and trust everyone pretty well!

lurvleybunchococonuts · May 2020

@hedgepig @dumbledoredies @krystrist2014 I am in NO rush to move to FB. It irks me when people come to TB just to try and recruit people to go to FB immediately. Nope nope nope. That's why I'm back on TB, I love my Nov '18 group and you can't find that on FB without weeding out the crazies through months of anon posting. Gotta check out who is and isn't dedicated to actually being in a group.

+1 for team tomatoes are vile balls of grossness #barf so are raw onions. *shudder* excuse me while I go vomit everywhere.

dumbledoredies · May 2020

Like I said, I'm not in any rush to move to FB. This app just really sucks dicks and I look forward to when I dont have to use it 😆

I tried the Heneiken 0.0 "beer" last night and it was delicious. I'm so excited to enjoy a nice cold "beer" on a hot summer day. I didn't have any non alcoholic beer when I was KU'd with DS because they all have small amounts of alcohol in them but the Heineken 0.0 has 0% alcohol. Woo!

csardaszz · May 2020

@dumbledoredies I’m with you on the husband WFH thing. Yes, he has an office in the house, but there’s an open floor plan so I can hear every keystroke, every mouse click, and even worse, every phone call. He talks on the phone a lot, especially when I want to take a nap.

FWIW, I’m in no hurry to communicate with you lovely ladies on FB. I am not a big FB user.

jaclyn0405 · May 2020

@dumbledoredies isn't it awesome?! I love that it is truly 0.0% and honestly tastes awesome!

dumbledoredies · May 2020

@jaclyn0405 I was shocked at how awesome it tasted. The last few weeks I've been craving beer and have been sniffing DH's beer when he would have one. Drinking the Heineken was so much better then just a sniff.

jaclyn0405 · May 2020

@dumbledoredies yes my friend that is now sober told me about it. He said honestly because you love beer I think you'll love it. And he was not wrong lol! Yay for cold "beer" for us this summer!

dumbledoredies · May 2020

@jaclyn0405 my dad is sober and I'm so excited to tell him about it! He said even in the non-alcoholic beer he can taste the traces of alcohol. Was it you who recommended it in the other thread? I cant remember which thread it was. If so you are a life saver and my hero

krystrist2014 · May 2020

Man..... so many tomato haters in here! 😜

Also, so relieved to hear that so many are also opposed to moving to FB earlier! I swear when I was lurking the other BMBs it looked like August had already moved and I was like, damn, I’m just gonna lose my group if that happens in N20 because I’m not gonna be ready!

@dumbledoredies and @jaclyn0405 thank you for the non alcoholic beer recommendation!!! I will be buying that this weekend!! Have been craving a beer so bad!

jaclyn0405 · May 2020

@dumbledoredies yes it was me that recommended it in the other thread! And yay I am so glad that he can have an option!

I am glad to be your hero on this gross and gloomy day here in MD!

@krystrist2014 yes! Definitely report back as to how you like it, I think you will enjoy it!

krystrist2014 · May 2020

Now that nausea is subsiding for many of us, is there interest in a “What my pregnant self is eating” thread? If so, I’ll get one started!

hedgepig · May 2020

@krystrist2014 Yes! I was just thinking the same thing! Do it 😁

krystrist2014 · May 2020

@hedgepig it is done! 😁

kitkatz1990 · May 2020

Tomatoes 🤢

mama-buckets · May 2020

@krystrist2014 GIRL! YES! I made hubby go to the store the other day SPECIFICALLY because I wanted tomatoes and mayo...for dinner. LOL. I ended up having BLTs because I figured he’d look at me like a complete lunatic if it was just tomatoes I was eating. Made more of a TLB with liberal slathering of mayo and it was everything I hoped it would be. Heartburn/acid reflux hasn’t really been an issue for me so I feel fortunate and I’m definitely so pumped that fresh tomatoes are about to be a thing haha.

krystrist2014 · May 2020

@mama-buckets finally! Another tomato lover! Lol! I can’t get enough right now. 😊

mimser · May 2020

Oh I've had tomato sandwiches with bacon all week for lunch...

hedgepig · May 2020

@mimser @mama-buckets @krystrist2014 Now I want BLTs! I love tomatoes, but am normally a snob about waiting for farm/garden fresh. This year I've even been buying grocery store tomatoes though! 🍅🍅🍅

windywoman · May 2020

I'm with @hedgepig I am a tomato snob and prefer farm or garden tomatoes. I need them to be super red.

I am with everyone else about it being way to early for FB. We definitely need to weed out the crazies and see who are really regulars.

Now I want a BLT 😂

krystrist2014 · May 2020

Agree @hedgepig and @windywoman - garden tomatoes are always better! Same for cucumbers! My mom and dad grow both but I’m in FL and they’re in upstate NY. ☹️

dumbledoredies · May 2020

I eat BLT's nearly every week but I hold the T because tomatoes are the devils "fruit".

@mama-buckets your user image makes me lol every time I see it.

lovelee3 · May 2020

I LOVE tomatoes and DH hates them. It works out because he always gives me his. A whole tomatoe with miracle whip and cracked pepper is 🤤 for me! Love it!

surlyjaneausten · May 2020

I just noticed this thread! I am sad to report that I’m team tomato hater. I went through a period where I tried to force myself into liking them by getting different heirloom varieties and eventually I just gave up.

So my principal got all her teachers vouchers for free frozen yogurt for teacher appreciation. And I am so excited, but I made a deal with myself that I can get frozen yogurt this afternoon if I do a streaming barre class. Currently I’m laying in bed with my cat working on my motivation to do this workout. Will I do it? I don’t know. Will I get my froyo? Probably.

mama-buckets · May 2020

@dumbledoredies this is definitely one of my professional wedding photos 😂

I made my best friend a coffee mug with it on there for Christmas hahaha

mimser · May 2020

Is anybody else having hip pain at night? Both sides are now uncomfortable to sleep on. I was fine for a few days but last night it came back. I sleep with a pillow between my legs, I think it helps a little. I'm approaching 15 weeks and it started about 10 days ago.

hedgepig · May 2020

@mimser The hip pain hasn't started for me yet, but it was so real for me later in pregnancy last time. I'd have to switch sides constantly, and switching sides isn't exactly easy at the beached whale stage. What I will say is that aches and pains I had last time at 16ish weeks, didn't necessarily just keep getting worse all the way through. They got better or stayed static, then got worse at the end. I hope yours let up soon.

mimser · May 2020

Thanks for the insights @hedgepig! It's also the first time I still hurt after getting up, I'm starting to wonder if I'm not just sore from my prenatal yoga yesterday.

I also obviously meant to post this in May symptoms 🤦‍♀️

surlyjaneausten · May 2020

@mimser I ordered a memory foam pillow made to place between your knees while you sleep and it’s helped me a lot. Last time around I have horrible hip pain and sciatica that made it almost impossible to even walk sometimes. I’m planning on seeing a prenatal chiropractor soon in hopes of preventing that level of pain this time.
