Ten Things Tuesday 6/8
bkjade
member
1. I'm procrastinating rn so I thought I'd bring this back.
2. I don't want to clean my house yet.
3. Getting ready for my college kid to come home for the summer so I have a lot of stuff to get in order.
4. Thinking about doing the sahm thing this time around but have a lot of *feelings* about it.
5. I have been eating croissants from the bakery every day for breakfast since I've been too exhausted to cook and I am not mad about it.
6. I am *so* tired.
7. My friend is having a book release party this week and I am already imagining ways I can get out of it so I don't have to see a million people and talk to them
8. I'll end up going (and prob enjoying myself) but the social anxiety after this past year is real.
9. I am so sore from yoga on Sunday! I feel like I am so out of shape for taking the past month off.
10. V excited for my appointment tomorrow. Hoping to shake some of this PGAL first trimester anxiety off with an uneventful visit.

Re: Ten Things Tuesday 6/8
1. Hubby told me I need to start cooking food again because frozen food is getting old.
2. Cooking is exhausting and makes me nauseous so I dont wanna do it.
3. I feel like my entire family is suffering nutritionally during this pregnancy and I feel kind of bad.
4. Got my NIPT results back, looks good!
5. I am so tempted to call and ask baby's sex, but hubby doesn't want to know until we find out together at the anatomy scan. I don't know if I can wait.
6. I worked today and yesterday (and tomorrow). 3 days a month isn't honestly enough for me. I like the break from my toddler, but the work is in a school for children with special needs, so it's pretty exhausting, too.
7. MIL was late today again and it's driving me nuts. She is doing us a favor by watching DD so I can work and make a couple extra bucks each month, but I asked her to be here by 8 and she has shown up 8:20 both days so far this week.
8. My skin is stretching so much on my stomach already and I'm soooo itchy.
9. I am burping like an old man lately. Gross.
10. Finding 10 things is harder than I thought.
4. I keep crying at sad/sappy things. 🤣
5. I got my Rhogam yesterday, holy crap my butt hurts!!
8. I’m trying to find some balance with work/home life, so I’ve been trying to take weekends off. This has been amazing!
@bkjade yay appt! I hope it goes well! And yes I’m sooooo tired too.
@rgn12 - #10 yes! 🙂
@bkjade totally feel the procrastination and not wanting to clean the house...
@rgn12 I ended up telling my work day after I had my appointment at 7 weeks. Seems crazy and I kind of said definitely early etc but my Gyno said I needed specific tests done as soon as possible (especially working in a school) and my school has a company doctor they book it through. I totally understand why you wait though and in a different job or situation, I would have too. It is somewhat frustrating that a lot of staff already know and my close friends and family dont yet.
1. This is my first pregnancy and to be honest, I am starting to think that pregnancy is....just wanting to do a billion things before baby comes but then simultaneously just wanting to lie in bed or sit on couch and literally count days and hours til next appointment because you just want to see/hear that everything is going well.
2. I am hoping this feeling goes away in second trimester....
3. I am soooo good at organizing a plan of what needs to be done in the house... I am so Mari Kondo fan and Wannabe Minimalist
4. .....but I am sooooo bad at executing the plan....and havent even done the first "step".
5. I am still so tired...especially after a terrible sleep last night but when I went for a nap I couldn't sleep...
6. As I said to my husband I will go for a walk shortly, we heard thunder...
7. Anyone else craving sour cherry candies?? I can't find them anywhere.... but other sour gummies are sufficing...for now...
8. I have an 18 hole golf tournament on Saturday and I feel exhausted thinking about it.
9. @scaredunprepared you are right...it is hard to think of 10 things.
10. So the NIPT results will not automatically share the gender right?
2. I decided to monitor my blood pressure at home since I'd been feeling so crappy and turns out it's already high and I'm kind of freaking out
3. I can't go on bed rest at 11 weeks
4. Although I am hoping that I can convince my job to continue letting me work from home instead of going back into the office full time
5. DD was up at 345 this morning and was generally a nightmare
6. When I dropped her off at daycare her teacher told me she's an angel at school
7. My sister in law is also pregnant right now, which is fun because we were both pregnant together with our firsts
8. I get hungry so quickly but nothing ever seems that appealing
9. We got a patio put in this week (after waiting over 6 weeks for them to start)
10. I can't wait to sit by the firepit with smores this weekend

@bkjade I am specifically thinking of these and can't find them anywhere... *sigh* though I must say there is quite a variety of sour candy... though I accidentally bought peaches thinking they were sour...was so disappointed... hehe.. I swear I am a rational human being and candy didn't control my life at all before this... I haven't bought candy in years and years before pregnancy. I am usually more a choco fan.
@melbel0824 sorry to hear you are having a rough pregnancy. Hopefully clears up soon... and you end up with some energy. They (books and websites I read) keep promising this energy as of second trimester...I am holding onto their words tightly. I know the hungry but don't know what I even want to eat feeling...though I do know if I had an option to eat a Smore I would be totally in it/on top of it (not sure the preposition I am wanting to use..but in the end, most important part is to know I would be devouring it....)
@scaredunprepared cooking is just not a fun thing right now.. and that is super frustrating about your MIL 😒
@rgn12 weekends off are the best!!
@j-to-the-amie a golf tournament does sound fun, but exhausting!!
@melbel0824 so sorry this pregnancy has been so rough! And it certainly doesn’t help when your kids don’t let you sleep at night! I hope it’s gets better as we enter trimester 2!
1. I’m sorry for not popping on here lately, it’s been busy at work which is usually when i find time to mess around on my phone 😬
2. I really dislike this app, it’s just not easy to work from a phone.
3. I got excited when I saw baby is already the size of a lemon!
9. I had a tick attached right along my underwear line last night. Not. Cool. 😩
10. Within 5 nights, our dog got into a scuffle with 3 raccoons. He’s gonna get himself killed. The last one nearly drowned him. My poor dog is getting too old for that, but I’m pretty sure he’s an adrenaline junkie.

2. I feel like a shit mom, we all got so burned, despite applying sunblock religiously.
6. I’d much rather name 10 baby girls, than one baby boy. I’m just not fond of boy names.
7. My nausea and low energy came back last week, just in time for vacation.
8. I’m also not in the wanting to cook club, but I’m also tired of eating out.
9. I’m so excited that we’re in second tri territory.
@midwestmomma2 thanks for commiserating!
@savedbygrace1213 I am slowly looking forward to the golf tournament... I think it will be fun. Haven't played 18 holes in a long time...but is a ladies tournament. I am also nervous cause the lady golfers at my course are generally older but partiers...there will be sparkling wines and drinks at the start and throughout most likely. I am going to be more of an advocate for alchy free options now on! Lol ..before it didn't occur to me people may not want to drink or can't drink because I have always been someone that says yes to a drink.... until now obv.
P.s that sounds so cool that you live on a farm in Kansas.... though that sounds way more exhausting than golf... !

@savedbygrace1213 I dislike the app too! I miss notifications and messages and everything. I received a handful of messages from another group and didn’t see them for months
2. I’ve been telling myself that I’m going to start walking and exercising buttttt I haven’t started🥴
3. I’ve been eating watermelon like crazy!
5. I’m so ready to know the gender of Baby B!
6. Sometimes I have mommy guilt because I haven’t been active with my 2 boys yet for the summer.
7. I wish I didn’t have to go back to work until Aug. 2022!
