Our nursery is coming together! We bought a dresser this weekend. The nursery should be painted by this weekend, barring any setbacks with the painters.
I had a breastfeeding class this weekend, which was informative. At one point, the instructor passed around examples of what the baby's dirty diapers should look like during the first week. I took a picture of one of the diapers for DH (he didn't go to the class and we're gross like that) and the instructor saw me. She thought it was funny I was going to text the picture to DH. She also said it was the first time anyone had taken a picture of the dirty diaper and I didn't know whether to feel special or embarrassed.
I ran outside this morning for the 2nd time all year. Hooray for spring finally arriving!
We were at my brother's for my niece and nephew's birthday party and not one person asked me why I wasn't drinking. Not. One.
So it's now official that my ILs - both of them (FIL is lumped in there by default because he is a man-child with a peter pan complex) - are now the most gauche people I know. Which is saying something because my SIL had previously held that title for talking about Brazilian bikini waxes with strangers at a college basketball game.
This is just a vent - If one more person tells me I'll start feeling better soon I'm going to kick them in the shins. I'm still throwing up every morning and have zero energy. Everyone is all "oh you're going to start feeling the best you've ever felt soon! Just hold on." Suck it. You people have been telling me that for weeks and guess what I still feel like crap! Stop giving me false hope and let me wallow in my miserableness!!

I came home from drill this weekend and DH had put everything together in the nursery. Now I'm trying to figure out decor and want to poke my eyes out.

tulips and adlove add me to the spray paint mishap list. We had an extra white shelf laying around so I got bright orange spray paint for it. Yeah, it was windy so my feet ended up orange, along with the driveway, and the paint ran so now DH insists that I sand it down and do it again. I'm ready to just quit and say forget the shelf. Ha.

Adlove, your nursery looks great!
I went to a wedding this weekend and saw a bunch of people for the first time since I was pregnant. People kept asking me if I was feeling ok and it always took me a second to figure out why, so I spent the whole weekend worried that I looked like I was about to pass out or something.
I enjoyed the weather this weekend, high 70-low 80, but I also (silly me) had called a dance rehearsal for a production I'm choreographing so I lost 4 hours of sunny bliss on Saturday.
My shower date is set for late July and I sent a little save the date text to my closest girls because they are some of my most important guests IMO, and one already says she cannot make it. Why are my friends' lives so overbooked that they know they can't come to a shower with 3 months notice?! I got all pouty and stupid over it and whined to my mom because I'm hormonal, and then felt like an idiot for being so dramatic. Oh well.
OHH!!! Total AW here: DH bought me new diamond earrings...just because! They are round brilliant and big ;-) YAAAAY! (I've been wanting an upgrade for a few years, but I thought I'd get them for a bday, anniversary, etc. Not "just because") Super happy.
My friend posted a status on FB about a woman breast feeding on the subway in NYC and how it was nasty. She's not a parent and has some bizarre views about parenting in general. I wasn't going to comment...not worth it to me, but her family member called her out politely stating basically its better than letting the kid scream its head off. But I honestly dunno why people feel the need to post these things on FB lol.
Remember my friend who wanted to bring her boyfriend to my shower? She's not coming. Because she can't bring him. I haven't seen her in years and I'm a little that she's blowing me off for him.
I'm having mom issues, too. I'm predicting a total meltdown on Sunday and I'm stressing out about it.

Today I enter the 2nd trimester! I woke up feeling the worst I have this entire pregnancy. I've had no sickness, thus far, but thought I was coming super close this morning. Of course morning sickness in the 2nd trimester is the worst thing to google about.
We told friends last night that we're expecting. Now I am kind of feeling like I'd prefer to tell people through emails or phone calls. They were excited for us, but I'm paranoid we'll tell someone going through infertility that we're unaware of and it will make them feel sad.

Today is kind of shitty. I'm a sad sack.
Wow... what a class act. Unfortunately I think with a woman that has attachment issues like that it's not a big surprise she'd blow girlfriends off for a guy. Normally I wouldn't care about things like this, at all, but I sure hope she at least sends a gift!
I want to disown my mother. She's never been the warmest person on earth but she's gotten so much worse in the last few years. She can be so nasty and disrespectful. Talked to her this weekend and apologized for not calling her back for a week due to a crazy time at work. She was all, "Shepoz, I wish my life was as easy as yours, you don't do anything but sit around. You haven't worked as hard in your whole career as I did in one year of mine."
WUT?? Seriously, woman? Just because I work from home full time doesn't mean that I don't work just as hard or put in just as many hours as someone in an office. Nevermind the fact that I also have my 3yo son at home too, so it's double duty. And yet, I still get all my work done and manage to have raise a normal kid. ARRGHHHHHH! I'm so tired of her putting me down for everything. Nothing I do will ever be good enough and it's just exhausting.

I have thrown out so much food over the past several weeks. I feel awful about it. I used to pride myself on never wasting food. My appetite has just been all over the place due to feeling queasy all day. I can't bring myself to cook anything at home except breakfast. So I'm spending a ton of money on eating out and throwing money (groceries) right in the garbage too. I just want to feel normal again.
Thanks guys. I really don't think it's her boyfriend. I've known them both for the same amount of time and from what I've seen, it's more of her being needy and codependent than him being controlling. I could almost guarantee that if she said, "So we'll have to cut our visit short this weekend, I'm going to Snazzy's shower!" He'd be like, "Oh great, have fun! Send my best!" He's always been very sweet.
So I'm not really surprised, but I was really hoping to see her. It's not about the gift, at all. I just miss my college friends and I thought she'd make an effort to come. I'm a bit hormonal today
I know it's not about a gift, but I think it would at least be nice if she doesn't take the time to come on her own that she still recognizes you've tried to include her or is thinking of you in some shape or form.
What if you tried one last attempt to go to lunch or something? That might not change the dynamic of her wanting him there, too. Ick.
I have been up to my eyeballs in crap to do today. 6am run with a friend, went downtown to MIL's employer's HR office to sort out some life insurance paperwork, post office to overnight paperwork to SILs for MIL's retirement benefits (if they even try to bitch about the inconvenience of going to the post office to pick up the envelope or overnight it back to us I will kick their asses myself b/c we have done every.damn.thing to get the ball rolling on this estate BS and they have not done shit (both live OOT), OB appt, home for a bit. Dentist appt, back home for lunch, back out to meet a potential sitter, now back home for good today. Anyone who thinks having Mondays off is all puppies and rainbows and relaxation is full of shit. I want to take a nap so bad but if I do now I'll never get to sleep tonight.
On the upside, despite waiting in the waiting room for half an hour and in the exam room for 10 mins, my OB appt went great. Junior is measuring a little ahead (which I will gleefully tell anyone who says OMG YOURE SO TIIIIIINY!), and his HB/my BW/BP/etc are all good. And we talked BC options after Junior is born...I'm leaning towards an IUD.

I'm craving meatloaf today. I hate meatloaf. HATE it. But for some reason that is all I can think about eating today.
H and I had a huge fight this weekend, over something his mother said/did. I mean, huge. Like, biggest fight we've had ever in our relationship. We're okay, but it's just made my rage towards his mother even stronger. And I know it's cliche to not like your MIL, but guys, I really don't like her. It's to the point where I'm not sure there's any coming back from it. She's incredibly selfish and doesn't think about other people at all. And she's insanely critical of everyone and everything. It's ridiculous. I don't know what to do at this point because he knows that she's like that, and neither of us can change it, but I am so tired of dealing with it. *sigh*

I am having an urge to chop my hair off. Like, short. Pixie short. My H is totally not into it, but I already have short hair, (Chin length inverted bob) so I mean, its not THAT much different, right? I do worry that right now would be a bad time to do it, though, since my face is only going to get fatter in the next 5 months. But damn. Sometimes I get these ideas and I can't stop thinking about it!! Someone be on my side! lol

Haha thanks for the advice swizz and Lucy. I know logically that I probbly shouldn't do anything drastic while I'm pregnant. But I cant help but be like: cut off all the hairs!!!
Maybe I'll just settle for getting it colored at my next hair appointment. My grays need covered anyway.
