𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: still good! Dealing with some fun oily and dry skin at the same time and I feel like I fill up on food really fast haha. Also, feeling super blessed that I’m feeling some definite movement and kicks now!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: we went to see family this weekend (live on the other side of the state) and came home with some cute things for William! We’re also seriously considering moving over there in 12-18 months to lower our cost of living… so a bit of a mentally draining weekend, but exciting! Also - how are we already almost halfway?!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: well, didn't since last Thursday, and now I've pooped 3 times today one of which I had to get someone to cover my class because I needed to go right then, so that's fun.

I've caught a cold likely from my children, my husband complains off the same cold as he takes shots of day quil and I'm like I guess I'll take Tylenol to try to get my throat to stop hurting, but I'd love some advil and pseudofed.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: I dropped chocolate milk all down my shirt this morning so I have a giant stain going down it. My classes are being shits and I'm canceling the fun activity I had planned for one today because they decided it was ok to throw cream cheese in the trash and get it all over the wall instead, and then to leave a marshmallow in the iPad charging station. They get a "break time" to eat breakfast between blocks and normally I have no problem allowing them to eat in my room as it's only 10 minutes and to get to classes and through line in the cafeteria is not a lot of time, but I've never had such problems before so I think I'll also be not allowing food in the classroom either.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: You're having a dinner party. You can invite three people (famous or not, living or dead). Who's coming to your dinner party? I like dinner, I like attending parties, but I don't think I could figure out who to invite. I'm don't do small talk so if I don't know them, I probably wouldn't talk to them.
I'm thinking I'd invite my best friend who I haven't seen since August. My best friend from high school because she didn't do the social media stuff and I don't think I've seen her since my second year in college because she never came home on breaks adhd instead went to stay with her father in Florida. And then maybe FIL because he's not alive and I'd like him to tell his son that he's an idiot sometimes, FIL liked me.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: Pretty good 😊 some minor aches during my evening walk and when i lay down for bed.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rants: My step-daughters mother asked me to exchange pleasantries with her when I ride with my husband, bc step-daughter thinks we aren’t friends (gee, I wonder why). So, I get out of the car yesterday, say hello, make a comment about her upcoming soccer game - all smiles - and she turns around and walks away while I’m talking. So, this is no longer on me or my responsibility.

Raves: my best friend, who is a high school art teacher, and paints murals for local businesses on the side, offered to drive down from NC this summer (5 hours) and help me paint a mountain mural on the nursery wall 💕 Im so lucky to have these wonderful, talented, generous people in my life and my kids lives.

Also, my OB just relaxed their covid policy, so my husband can now come to any appointment he wants, although they were very clear this doesn’t mean you get extra ultrasounds 😂

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: How are y’all discouraging people from touching your stomach, preferably without being rude or confrontational?

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: You're having a dinner party. You can invite three people (famous or not, living or dead). Who's coming to your dinner party? Probably my 3 deceased grandparents.

𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Two weeks for anatomy scan

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: Feeling overall pretty good. My lunch yesterday was not sitting well and while I was trying to fall asleep and feeling miserable I very distinctly felt baby for the first time, like I was being poked from the inside. It was like he was saying its all ok.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rant- I decided to finally splurge on a jumpsuit from Free People last week and after it said it was delivered and wasn't on my porch I realized I typed my address wrong and it probably ended up in sketchy downtown.... so no jumpsuit for me.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: none

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: You're having a dinner party. You can invite three people (famous or not, living or dead). Who's coming to your dinner party? I would invite my grandfather. I lived my whole life on the west coast and he was on the east coast, he passed away when I was in high school so I never got to know him well. But this man is probably the most interesting person ever. He was an OSS spy and took down prolific Nazi's during WW2. When my dad was little they were undercover in Germany living in the Nuremburg Castle. I am such a history and political buff that I want to know EVERYTHING about his experiences. I can't think of anyone I would rather spend time with.

@laj0217 I made it very clear before I had a belly that I was not ok with free for all touching. I told everyone in my family that the only person who has free reign to touch the bump is my husband, everyone else can ask and I will likely say yes. My family also knows that I am not a very touchy person to begin with so I think they naturally are giving me space.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: My abdominal area is getting more tender/sore. Not painful exactly - just enough to give me that "oooof" feeling when I move certain ways. But it's a sign that baby is growing, so I'll take it! I'm also feeling more motivated lately to get some exercise!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rave: My husband started a new job where he only has to go into the office 1 day/week, so he'll be home a lot more often! (and I work fully remote)
Rant: My husband only has to go into the office 1 day/week, so.....he'll be home...A LOT MORE OFTEN

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: NATM

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: You're having a dinner party. You can invite three people (famous or not, living or dead). Who's coming to your dinner party? One of the three would definitely be my husband (he's much better at small talk than I am). And the other two would be Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Betty White! And I would probably serve Ina Garten's Wild Mushroom Risotto as the main dish.

laj0217 · April 2022

@mamamoomoo12 It is less my family and friends. They know my boundary issues lol. It’s usually someone from my husbands family. I get along with everyone, and don’t want to step on toes by saying “you’re in my bubble,” but they’re in my bubble 😂

mamamoomoo12 · April 2022

@laj0217 so tough! I had one of my friends touch my belly in front of those that I knew would not respect my bubble and I kindly told him, "next time can you please ask? I know it is exciting but some times I am uncomfortable with touching". It helped me bring up the conversation around others with out being to confrontational.

mokay19 · April 2022

@bigworldlittleg I’m cracking up at your rant and rave 😂

lucyg00cy · April 2022

@bigworldlittleg totally feel ya! my fiancé and I both transitioned to being fully remote in March 2020. Love being able to see him during the day, but my God sometimes I’m like please just go somewhere for an hour so we can get some space 😂

𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Tomorrow for MFM consult (so they can try to talk me out of any thoughts of a TOLAC - we'll see how that goes), cervical ultrasound, and blood draw for second trimester screening. 4/29 for next cervical screening, 20 week appointment, and also my anatomy scan!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: Pretty good. Getting more regular flutters, which is nice on the one hand but then also makes me anxious when I don't feel them for awhile. Still have four more weeks until we start to get past my ugly milestones (22+0 and 22+3). Still worried my cervix is going to start getting weird.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rave #1 - Boss and I talked for like an hour and a half today and it was good! I think she's finally seeing some of the sabotaging stuff the other QM lead is doing (fortunately that person is being reassigned in July, so the amount of time I still have to deal with her is time limited) and is also appreciating some of the work I've been doing for her. Rave #2 - Boy person has been making lots of tasty food lately. Rant #1 - Boy person continues to be a slob, and the tasty food results in a lot of dishes. Rant #2 - My dogs keep wanting to reign holy terror in the middle of the night, completely destroying my sleep.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: None right now.

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: I'm all about history, and there are a ton of historical people I'd love to meet. Maybe...Eleanor Roosevelt, my great-grandmother Meiko (she had a FASCINATING life, including being a bisexual woman in the 1920's and 1930's, but was already senile by my early childhood), and Cleopatra.

mk2022x · April 2022

@mamamoomoo12 @laj0217 I’ve been lucky that no one besides my fam and friends have tried. lol the first time it happened was at 15w? One of my friends grabbed my bump the first time I saw her since she found out and was like “OMG ARE YOU SO TIRED OF PEOPLE TOUCHING YOUR BELLY YET?!!” Just you, girlfriend… just you. I can’t even imagine how awk it would be if a stranger tried???!!

my hubby, Paul Rudd … and probably Mad Max Fluffy Road (Maxine) the Instagram dog 😂😂😂

jhysmath · April 2022

@melyrae I believe they say magnesium helps the best. We don't absorb much through eating it now though and they suggest a lotion or soaking in Epsom salt to get it.

csardaszz · April 2022

@melyrae A few weeks back I was waking up with painful cramps in my calves. My doula suggested I eat something high in magnesium before bed (e.g., a handful of almonds) and that resolved the pain for me. I hope yours goes away!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀:

Rant- work drama and tons of people quitting so there’s a lot more work on all of us who are staying.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rave # 1 - We have Braves tickets for Mother's Day weekend and I booked our hotel today. I am SO excited. Rave #2 - Only 3 more days at this job! Rant #1 - I put in my notice last Monday and my boss still hasn't come to talk to me. If she doesn't talk to me by Thursday, I'm just not showing up Friday.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: pretty good. Heartburn is still there but definitely more manageable so I’m able to enjoy food more (which idk if that is a good thing 😂). Feeling the occasional movement/flutters and it’s been nice for this to feel ‘more real’.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Someone at work I worked relatively closely with got fired yesterday. It was pretty unexpected to everyone but apparently while it seemed like they were getting work done they were not and were really taking advantage of the work from home situation. So kind of bummed today bc while they obviously deserved it, they were a really nice person and it’s just been weird today.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: rave: My husband and I are an amazing team and I am so happy that I get to spend my life with him. Whether fun or trouble, like getting the tarps down yesterday so the scaffolding wouldn’t damage our home, we are great together!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: My principal is so good at making us feel like we don’t do enough. I’m an art teacher- I GET IT, I know realistically everyone likes to say “the fine arts matter” but in reality the schools don’t really care about us. They usually at least pretend. But my principal actually had the balls to tell us she doesn’t care about the quality of the kids’ artwork, just do it. Completely undermines mine and my colleague’s entire existence in the building. That’s the main thing we should care about! Quality, are the kids doing their best? She wouldn’t tell a math teacher she doesn’t care about the quality of math as long as they’re doing it, or she doesn’t care about how good the football team is as long as they’re doing it. She really solidified that working for her isn’t for me.

And my Mimi who died before I could tell her my husband and I were trying for a baby. They’d all be thrilled to see where we are now.

I have an appointment with my psychiatrist to discuss when I should start taking my med again. I’m nervous about it, but literally every doctor I’ve spoken to thinks the benefits of starting up again in the third trimester greatly outweighs any risks to baby

𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Midwife appointment the first week of May. Might have an appointment with my doula soon, too.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: Overall, feeling good. Today I have some period-like cramping, and at times it feels like the skin of my belly is stretching to the max. I did go for fire cupping yesterday and that helped my back pain some.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁s/Raves: New nanny started yesterday and it’s looking like she’ll work out! I’m so thankful to have the opportunity to rest while my daughter has fun with someone else.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: My current questions are of more of an existential nature at the moment.

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: You're having a dinner party. You can invite three people (famous or not, living or dead). Who's coming to your dinner party?

Salvador Dalí, Thich Nhat Hanh, and my sister.

𝗘𝗗𝗗 / 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 + 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀: sept 1 / 20 weeks!

𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮(𝗻) / 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁: endive? Paper airplane. Banana

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: pink

𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: next week anatomy scan, then follow up midwife appointment

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: feeling great! A few minor aches and pulls but don’t feel like I am pregnant mostly. Finally got a handle on the headaches in last week - I am having caffeinated tea right after lunch (only caffeine all day) and it seems to keep the headaches from coming on. If I forget or wake up with a headache I take Tylenol with caffeine and it goes away in like 20 mins! I am so glad I found this but wish I figured it out over a month ago!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: rave is caffeine and ice cream. Oh and started prenatal yoga and I love it - it’s not too hard and it’s such a nice feeling to be in a group (so far online but maybe next week in person)

Rant - I am impatient! Feel like I need more to do and prep. I’ll get more organized on my registry I guess and try to find the wallpaper I want for the baby room.

off the top of my head today I would pick three funny people - like Ryan Reynolds, Taika Waititi, Melissa McCarthy and then just sit back and let them entertain me with whatever banter they have!
