I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with H this weekend.
We may also rent a carpet cleaner - I want to clean the carpet in the nursery before our furniture comes next month and we might as well do the rest of the carpet while we're at it.
We're doing dinner and a hockey game with some friends tomorrow night which should be fun.

I am crazy emotional right now, have been crying off and on for the last 12 hours. Its awful, never felt like this before. I'm okay, then I just start tearing up out of no where. All I want to do is lay in bed with SO right now, not be at work. Just thinking about that is making me start to cry.
He just texted saying that he has a plan for dinner tonight and its a surprise. Guess what, crying.
It gets better, right? (I'm 15 weeks tomorrow and can't figure out a ticker for the life of me)
This crappy winter weather is cramping my morning sex style. We had a nice thing going in the fall. DH would go drop DD off at school and then come back home. Now he's taking her in a cab to school (it's a mile away, too far to walk or bike in the extreme cold) and then going straight on to work from there.
Waaaa. There will be no after-drop-off morning sex next fall with a new baby. I hope we actually get a spring around here.
Dh and I had a silly fight this morning. Total tearfest on my part.
I finally was able to poop this morning after nearly 6 days. It wasn't much but I will take it. I think I need to go back to taking Metamucil or something.
We leave for Vegas tomorrow!! We have never been. I'm really worried about the time different, my exhaustion, and being a party pooper. Hopefully I get some energy while I'm out there! I'll be 14w on Monday.
I'm also really excited about wearing clothes that show off my tiny (probably just looks like fat) bump instead of hiding it like I have been at work. I can't wait till about our next appt (15w) to tell everyone at work. This is getting hard!
I got to work at 7 just to find out that there's no one scheduled to close... So it looks like I'm here all day, with a break to go do my iron treatment around noon. I can't wait until Sunday- I need a day off with H.
I started a new job this month after being laid off. They don't know I'm pregnant and I'm so paranoid that I think they keep looking at my belly. I can't wait until my appointment on the 11th. After that appointment I plan on spilling the beans. I will have been here a month by then and I will have had enough appointments to make me feel secure about telling work.
I am holding back the tears all day today. I am just so frustrated.
First I take my son to school this morning and the lollipop man jumped in front of my car and started shouting at me in front of the school with lots of moms and kids watching. I had no idea what I did wrong because if I had not gone when I did I would have been stuck at a busy intersection. After I dropped DS off I went over to him to apologise for whatever it was, hoping he would tell me what I did wrong. Instead he apologised to me and told me he had been in the wrong, and had got a fright. It had to do with the timing of the lights.
Then I went shopping for maternity jeans as I need them. I found I have gone down a clothing size, but I had suspected that, but all the jeans I can find are 'super skinny' or straight leg. I need bootcut. I am not built for skinny jeans. I spent over 4 hours looking. I am now home with a pair of leggings and will need to order jeans online.
And then I phoned DH to ask him if he wanted to meet for lunch. We hardly see each other in the evenings lately because he has been working late and I have been going to bed early. He said he has not got time to meet me today for lunch and he is working late to tonight and then going straight to cycling. Which means he will only be home after 9pm. And then he is working tomorrow all day and will get home when I have to go sleep so I can work tomorrow night.
It does not help that I had to get up 5 times last night to pee. I could normally handle all of this but between the tiredness and the hormones its making me want to cry.

-While trying to present in a workshop to 60 middle schoolers yesterday, I got what felt like bad menstrual cramps. It lasted 5 minutes then went away. It didn't happen again the rest of the day or night. But it did send me into an emotional meltdown which involved me crying (again, lots of crying lately) to my husband about "HOW THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO RAISE A HUMAN!?!?!?!?!"
-I have a breastfeeding class tomorrow which I plan to follow up with a pedicure.
-Maternity pictures are Sunday afternoon! I'm doing them solo since my husband is working but I don't mind. I found lots of good solo maternity shots on Pinterest so I don't think it will be too weird. My sister is going to take some couple shots in a few weeks when my husband stops working on weekends.
-In the midst of my crying session, I told my husband that I would really like to settle on the day care center I toured a few weeks ago. I liked it there and I don't feel motivated at all to call in home places, even though I know I should, just to "shop around."
-I had Cinnamon Toast Crunch for breakfast this morning and it was amazing.

You will have so much fun! I love Vegas. Where are you staying? Do you have plans to see any shows?
blushing, sorry your day started out so crappily. I hope it gets better and you get to hang out with your H soon. And I bet you can pull off skinny or straight leg jeans!
I have a friend's birthday party tonight. It starts at 9 p.m. (AT NIGHT!) at a swanky rooftop bar with $17 cocktails. This is the type of joint I'd avoid like the plague, even if I weren't a sober giantess. I'm going to put on a happy face, though, and focus on catching up with old friends, even if we're going to be surrounded by DBs.
I feel a lot smaller in the belly today then I did yesterday. Weird. But it's good because I felt like I was going to explode yesterday.
I have days like this, too. My belly will feel like it's stretching and expanding so much some days that the skin all over itches, then it looks smaller to me the next day instead of bigger.

Me too. Yesterday I felt huge and stretched, today not as much.
I had my first "congratulations" from someone I haven't actually told I'm pg. And I'm not showing, soooooo I guess someone I did tell spilled the beans. It's a weird feeling. The person who congratulated me is the sweetest person in the world and I would never put her on the spot by asking her who told her, but I am curious. I don't REALLY care, but it's kind of a When Harry Met Sally "It's already out there!" feeling. lol

I am having a crazy day at work, and I'm back to the daydreaming stage of when I can walk in and hand in my 2 week resignation and be done with the bullshit for good. I've come to peace with the fact that I have to come back to work after mat leave, but I'm trying to live on the fact that I can come back for about 5 months and then be gone for good. I am just so damn tired of dealing with bi-polar, moody, unreasonable people day in and day out, but I need this job to come back to so I'm sucking it up and dealing with it for now. But the daydreaming part is nice.
Had some brownish spotting last night & this am, so I went in for a check. Everything's fine, but between the weekly P17 shots, bi-weekly appts for cervical length check, and my anatomy scan scheduled for next week, I feel like I'm always at the hospital.
I will be spending my weekend editing 3 of H's chapters as he's got a big deadline to meet in March (and an even bigger deadline in August before the baby comes). I'll probably go to the gym at some point and skype my mum and dad. Maybe cook quite a bit now that I'm feeling like that again. It's raining here again and I am just so sick of it, but I guess we're in the wrong country to be complaining about the rain. I am looking forward to sleeping in. I've been so tired lately - I think the exhaustion set in late for me. I've been coming into work late because I can't drag myself out of bed early enough, which means I end up working late, too.
I feel like my stomach exploded today. My big pants barely fit. My DH is getting concerned that I am wearing regular clothes and I am squishing the baby. lol
10 days to go until our NT Scan. Once I know everything is ok then I feel I can tell people. I have only told a few people.
