𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: The nausea is beginning to wane a bit, thankfully, which is right around when it happened with my daughter. I'll have a couple bad days followed by a decent day, and they get more and more spaced as time goes on. I'm still so hungry, but I'm keeping my weight in check (🙌🏻). Headaches are happening now, but Tylenol knocks them out most of the time.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Ummm... ranting about how much work I have to catch up on stove my house because morning sickness has done me so dirty.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: My brain is still 80% convinced this will end up being a MMC or blighted ovum and it's going to stay that way until I see a live fetus on the ultrasound. Symptom wise, I'm tired all the time, peeing all the time, and boobs hurt. Not super nauseous, but most food right now is just "meh."

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers are the bane of my existence and are going to be the death of us.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: Really stressed today. It just comes and goes. Yesterday, I felt so pregnant and was feeling much better overall. Today I'm just a wreck. I know I need to prepare myself for the possibility of a MMC, but I just can't even think about it without breaking down. Symptom wise, I feel exactly the same as you @kboydbowman.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: One of my best friends just told me they're moving back to the area at the end of the summer!! Her husband's a marine and they've been in Okinawa for the past 3 years but just got orders that they're coming back to Pendleton. I can't wait!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: I feel fine for a long time and worry, and then don't want to think about food.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: I was "influenced" to get the revlon hair dryer brush and I love it. I feel like I can look put together easier than having to dry my hair and then straighten it. I can't blow dry and use a brush at the same time, my hands can't do two things at once like that lol.

I mean if they're your siblings obviously not talking about that. I have a couple friends that will tell me about their parents in a story and say something like "mom came over last week to help with the baby and told me that there's going to be a new store in the neighborhood"... She's not my mom.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: We told my parents this weekend and my mom was so excited! We got pregnant during a break from fertility treatment so she was more surprised than she has been with the other two kids and it was fun to kind of catch her off guard.

Amphibious22 · February 2022

@jhysmath 10-4 is basically just an acknowledgement that you heard what was said, so essentially an okay. Something like, "we're on our way back with the guests" "10-4" makes sense, but if I ask "Does x walrus have another bucket?" and someone says "10-4", I'm like well does he or not?

Eta also I totally agree with your pet peeve. I have a good friend that does that (actually same friend moving to Pendleton) and it weirds me out every time.

mokay19 · February 2022

@Amphibious22 how quickly do they usually turn around your bloodwork results? Thinking of you today!

Amphibious22 · February 2022

@mokay19 the results from Saturday came in after a few hours. I went after work though, so I feel like I should wait until around the same time to have it be as close to 48 hours as possible. Which unfortunately means waiting until 4 this afternoon.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: Low grade nauseous most days and exhausted (but couldn’t sleep last night 🙄). Sundays seem to be the best. I get Saturday to be lazy and then feel decent for a few hours Sunday.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: My husband is driving me crazy with the chores. I work about twice as many hours and am pregnancy exhausted. The house is a mess, and he honestly doesn’t even notice. He keeps saying “make a list,” but it’s like how do you not notice the dishes in the sink, the multiple laundry baskets that need to be folded, or that the trash can lid doesn’t close it’s so full!!! Also, it’s always the same chores: dishes, laundry, trash, cat litter. 20 minutes tops. He’d be done before I even make it home from my second job!! Ugh, rant over, thank you for listening. In fairness to my husband, if I make a list, he does do it, so I’m just complaining.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: Well I've been feeling great other than just being exhausted, but I started feeling nauseous last night and it's still here this morning. Hoping it doesn't stick around long.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rave: DH went somewhere with his friends yesterday so DD (who has basically dropped naps) and I napped for almost 3 hours. It was amazing. Rant: just covid in general. I'm so tired of talking about it, hearing about it, having to switch up our lives for it I'm just over it.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: Exhausted and nauseous basically all day.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: DH really isn’t comprehending the full extent of my being tired and nauseous and it seems like he thinks I’m overreacting a bit. I will say I didn’t deal with any of this last time around and got off easy, but it takes A LOT for me to admit I’m tired and not feeling well… so I wish he’d figure it out and ease up a bit.

mokay19 · February 2022

Oh @whitta1015 pet peeve made me think of one that I forgot so I’m going to share a second one lol… I get irritated when people try to compare having a dog/pet to having a child. I had a dog before kids and never once thought caring for an animal was similar to a human baby. It’s oh so vastly different!

@laj0217 I just sent my husband a picture of the laundry and said “you need to fold this tonight.” Hopefully that gives him enough info on what I need from him 😂

laj0217 · February 2022

@mokay19 if that works, I’m gonna have to try it lol!

jhysmath · February 2022

@mokay19 yes I get angry at the "fur baby" comments. I'm sorry but my dogs never required my full attention all day long for starters. Last I checked its also frowned upon to leave your baby at home for multiple hours a day.

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: Finding out! I'm too Type A not have a plan.

𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: 2/23 for my first appointment

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?:Physically fine, emotionally on a roller coaster. Once or twice a day I get a little queasy. Like very little. It feels like an easy hangover, but then it goes away after 10-15 minutes. So, I think I'm just looking for something to feel so that I know that I'm pregnant. Basically I spend most of my time worrying/wondering/and trying not to think about it. Meditation daily seems to help.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Ranting about how slowly time moves when you're pregnant. Raving about about my husband who has kicked it into high gear to earn more money now that we're expecting.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: NATM

But, now you've asked so I feel obligated to give a real answer. Just because it's Monday, doesn't mean you need to say anything more than "good morning" or "how are you". I think we've all agreed that "how are you" just means hello, so that doesn't bother me as much.

@mokay19 I totally agree with your pet peeve too! We have only had a dog for the last 12 years and I have NEVER said fur baby. He is not a baby. He is a dog, who I love, but still a dog.That phrase makes me cringe!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: went to Target over the weekend to pick up my husband’s birthday present and got distracted in the baby section lol. Elephants are my husbands favorite animal and there are just so many darn cute elephant things for babies lol! Picked up a couple of things which made it seem real!

Amphibious22 · February 2022

+1 to pets not being the same as babies. A coworker just got a puppy and made a comment about how similar it must be. As the only mom in my department, I quickly informed her it is not.

Also @channas20 to go along with your pet peeve, I really hate when people act like they can't do anything on their Mondays and Fridays. Like if I ask a question and they go "I don't know, it's my Monday" or when I try to get help with some project and they say "it's my Friday so I can't start a project". Like what you're only capable of working 3 of your 5 days a week? We had some intense walrus behavior the other day (it's breeding season so things are a bit crazy right now) and my coworker goes, "I don't want to deal with it bc I don't want to die on my Monday." Umm but it would be fine to die on your Tuesday?

mokay19 · February 2022

@mamamoomoo12 I’ve been baking foods with protein powder added to give me a few extra grams of protein even with baked good snacks. For example, banana muffins with protein powder substituted for some of the flour. Pancakes with the kodiak cake mix and a scoop of protein powder. I’ve also been making veggies scrambled with hasbrowns and have been good with adding eggs to those and dousing it in hot sauce. Also, Greek yogurt! And you can make it special with granola, fruit, or chocolate chips!

Hopefully that helps with some protein suggestions!

mk2022x · February 2022

@mamamoomoo12 I ordered some protein powders specifically made for pregnancy! They’re called Baby Booster and so far, I really like them. 20g of protein and is made with DHA and folate! I ordered the vanilla, mocha and the strawberry and I’ve tried the vanilla and mocha so far. Vanilla is delicious blended with ice and almond milk and a big spoonful of peanut butter!

mamamoomoo12 · February 2022

Thanks! I think I need to get a bit more creative with protein powder. I have been loving fruit so at least smoothies are a good way to sneak some extra good stuff in to my life

Other than seeing the first positive pregnancy test, it hasn't really hit me that this is *real* until today. My husband and I haven't told anyone yet so now my head is starting to swirl with when to tell family, my supervisor, etc.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Ehh, I'm just too tired to think about it haha.

If I'm talking to someone like that, I just tune out and don't bother trying but it REALLY irks me.

Honestly, I just don't like that my in-laws will tell the entire world like it's their news to share and would rather just show up in September with a baby.

@scimomma convo dominators are unbearable! And the long irrelevant small talkers irritate me too! @channas20. I think only being in the office 1-2 days a week has amplified the small talk - it's like 90% gossip hour and 10% worktime when I am in my office.

julwanderlust · February 2022

@mtlpeanut YES! Someone sent their kid to school clearly symptomatic and my son's entire 2yo preschool class tested positive for covid last week.

jhysmath · February 2022

@julwanderlust my MIL telling the world is what I hate too. She is such a gossip person and I can't stand it. I wish I could just show up with baby like that too 😂

theblondebump · February 2022

@trapperkeeper87 thank you for checking in! You're so sweet. I had a rough week or so - I was just feeling constantly nauseous and run down. I'd get up to do something productive and basically need to just get back in bed. We've been dealing with an injured pup and a few other random stressful situations the last week or so. Also, we lost our nanny for the entirety of last week. She had a sore throat and a fever, she went to the doctor and got a strep test and a covid test, they both were negative but by the time she got her results, half the week had gone by and she still had a sore throat, so it was like welllll even if you don't have covid, I don't want your germs so just stay home this week. She finally came back today and it was nice for DH and I to both have a break together at the same time.

But similar to what others have mentioned, I get annoyed by people who are socially unaware and obnoxiously opinionated. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I have a family member that is always telling everyone what they "need to do" *eye roll*. Oh ALSO, I've been getting super annoyed lately by the whole "just wait" comments - I have one friend who was the first among our law school friends to have a baby. Even when the rest of us were pregnant, or now that we have babies but they are younger than hers, it's always like "just wait for this" or "just wait until they can do that." I can fully appreciate that there's a lot about having kids that you just don't know until you have one, but I think it's annoying when people act as if you can't possibly fathom things without kids, or without kids being a certain age, or without multiple kids. I have family that does that all of the time too. Like I can't say I'm exhausted from taking care of my baby without someone saying "oh just wait until you have two to run after." Like sure, I'll be more tired when I have two, it doesn't mean I'm not tired now!

Amphibious22 · February 2022

@theblondebump sorry you've had such a rough week! Also I totally agree with your pet peeve, but also to flip it, it bothers me when people without kids or people with babies make sweeping judgemental comments about things they will never do/let their kids do. Like my friend has a 10 month old and is all "my baby eats everything and I'm never going to let him eat off the kids menu or make him Mac and cheese for dinner" 🙄🙄 yeah okay, please tell me more about how you know best about your hypothetical child/toddler.

@Amphibious22 I usually use 10-4 as shorthand for "I understand what you've just told me."
@jhysmath I solve the hair problem by never blow drying my hair ever. Too time consuming. Air dry all the way baby.
@laj0217 I'm sorry, but that sounds SUPER passive aggressive from your husband. Have you heard of the concept of "emotional labor?" Because this is exactly what that is - he's expecting you to take full accountability for being the "household manager." Would he fail to wipe his a** after taking a s*** unless you specifically told him to do so? I think not. It's obvious the chores need to be done, you shouldn't have to itemize what needs to be done. It's great that he's willing to actually do the chores, but he's 30 and not 3 - you shouldn't have to tell him to do what obviously needs to be done.
@mokay19 I admit, sometimes I call my cats and dogs my furbabies. But I also call them my furbeasts, my hellbeasts, my fur monsters, etc... and I don't remotely think of it in the same way as a human child even though I love them all madly.
@channas20 I *loathe* small talk. Get to the point or leave me alone lol.
@mamamoomoo12 I'm thinking of asking the boy person to make me some protein powder infused pancakes for dinner

@chelsraec ever dealt with a close talker with halitosis? THE WORST.

theblondebump · February 2022

@Amphibious22 I can understand that when it's an absolute, like "I will NEVER do XYZ", but I also think it's okay to have opinions about how you're going to raise your child, even if your child hasn't reached that age yet. For example, I have a mom friend whose child is older than mine and if I say something like I don't plan on letting my child watch screens until 18 months+ or when my daughter was younger, if I said, I'm not going to give her baby foods like teething crackers, puffs, etc (I only gave/give her homemade versions of these things), she takes it as an automatic dig at her parenting choice to do those things, when it's not at all. She gets super defensive and it's so annoying. I try to avoid parenting discussions at all costs with her but its next to impossible.

trapperkeeper87 · February 2022

@theblondebump I think it's all in how it's approached. Like, if your friend asks you if you plan to do something and you say no, that's fine. But if you just drop it into conversation, unprovoked, then it can very much feel like a dig. I can be pretty sensitive to things, so my comment is coming from that perspective. Kind of along the same lines of, "don't offer advice if it isn't requested." I've been guilty of it (thanks, ADHD), but I usually know when I make a social snafu and try to fix it.

theblondebump · February 2022

@trapperkeeper87 it’s never directed at her but just like comes up in conversation or in response to her suggesting a particular thing. Like for example, she’ll say, does “DD” eat puffs? My son was obsessed with them at this age, I bet “DD” would love them. I’m not going to lie and say yes lol. I’ll respond and say the truth which is, I don’t feed her any store bought baby food. Or something like that. It’s like she can have her opinion, but if mine is different than hers, it’s offensive.

I started typing an outrageous example from this week but then I got super paranoid that like what if she went on this message board and read it? She would def know it’s me lol. I think that all the time. I share way more juiciness once the board is private lol.

Amphibious22 · February 2022

@theblondebump yeah it's all about phrasing and not dealing in absolutes. People who claim they would NEVER do something make me roll my eyes. And people who use their parenting decisions as a way to judge other choices are just awful. Like using your example, there's nothing wrong with saying you choose to make all the food for your child and not offer store bought snacks, but if it was flipped and you were watching your friend feed their child puffs and you made a comment like "oh you feed your child puffs? I only feed my child food I've made myself" that easily comes off as judgemental. I just have one too many friends who love to say all the things they would never do if they had kids that I do with my son. It very often comes off as a dig from my perspective.

theblondebump · February 2022

@Amphibious22 haha yeah I get that, I would never say something like that unprovoked to a mom feeding her child puffs. It’s more like she’ll suggest it or ask but then gets offended if my choice isn’t the same as hers. And we have different opinions on basically every. Single. Parenting decision. Lol. We were friends before having babies and then after babies, it feels like we are such different people, but we still have a mutual best friend, so it would be difficult to like grow apart.
