Re: Weekly Randoms 2/8
@claireloSC Exciting!!! Congrats on the mortgage and good luck tomorrow! Is it far from where you live now?

Also, anyone else over first tri? I am only 12w2d and I am so constipated. Allergic to Colace and Miralax. I strained so hard last night out of pure desperation. Anyone have tips?

@bobbyflies2020 ugh, that is so frustrating about the Tampa situation last night! I definitely watched the game so I'm part of the problem, but I think they really probably shouldn't have had it this year... so much about it seemed like a recipe for pandemic disaster.
Try also rubbing your belly pretty hard and changing your position from leaning over and sitting up helps me a bit too.
Does anybody else have small/medium stools even after not going for 2+ days?

@bobbyflies2020 have you tried dulcolax? It really helped me in my last pregnancy.

@claireloSC fingers and toes crossed that there are no issues! A new house is so exciting (after the stressful part is over. Ha)
Mag citrate/oxide would be much stronger laxative. Milk of magnesia is another kind (magnesium hydroxide).
@bobbyflies2020 I 2nd the Natural Calm magnesium for constipation! While pregnant with my last baby I got their gummies. (raspberry lemons I think) They were so delicious I ate way too many and got diarrhea.
@jynjer3 yes yes yes to cleaning help! we've had our wonderful cleaners for 4 years and its the best thing ever. they come every other week. we do try to distance from them right now, which means they don't clean a part of the house (usually the basement). i would give up a LOT of things before I gave them up.
I'm nervous. I rescheduled my COVID vaccine for tomorrow. I was going to wait until 13 weeks but I'm just sick of the constant worry (take care of COVID patients at work). I don't even know if I could tell the difference between MS and vaccine side effects, but not sure if thats good or bad.
@litzi-2 good luck with your vax appt tomorrow. I’m getting mine Thursday so we can compare notes.
It is looking like DH may get a promotion very soon. This is well deserved and it is a long time coming. I’m so hoping it works out for him. Only downside is he will be required to be on hurricane squad during weather events meaning I’ll be alone with 2 dogs and 2 kids to either shelter through the storm or evacuate. We have no family near us. The thought of being alone during the storms scares the crap out of me.
I'm pretty jealous of all you getting vaccines. I won't be eligible until probably after babe is here. Good luck!
It was my 2 year wedding anniversary today. I gave a quick kiss this morning as the bathroom smell was seeping out. And then I had probably the worst headache I've ever had all evening and didn't get off the couch. Love you!
@emmylou78 i'm not looking forward to the second one. I might schedule out 4-5 weeks instead of 3, seeing all the info about likely just fine to delay second dose (and it just makes sense, I understand they probably did 21 days apart to expedite the study).
Also, BB2 woke up this morning with a bloody nose. When MH went to get him from his crib, the poor kid was just covered. I'm off to get a humidifier for his room this afternoon. Maybe I will pick up a cake while I'm at it.
