I think nausea is kicking in for me--now I'm having Randoms waves whether I am eating or not. I fear I may have to forgo spicy foods for a while. They are of course my favorite.
And I started crying when I thought about how much I love my sisters. I'm turning into a weepy mess. Not cool!
I had my first appointment last night since my original appt was rescheduled because dh couldn't go. I am slightly shocked and worried that the doctor said I was only around 5 weeks pregnant. I thought I was further along than that. I go back next week for another ultrasound. I found out I was pregnant on June 27th and my last period was 5/4 -something doesn't seem to be adding up to me. I have to stop googling I think :\
My supervisor leaves at noon so I plan on taking a long lunch and reading most of the afternoon.
Tomorrow night is my SIL's bachelorette party. She doesn't want to go bar hopping (thank you!) just dinner. It's at a sushi place I haven't been to in forever and they have a good selection of cooked ones as well as amaze-balls lettuce wraps.
I'm hoping to get ahold of my insurance this afternoon to find out which breast pumps they cover. I sent an email awhile back and they said I go to an approved pharmacy to get one. I have the list of which ones but want to know before I call the pharmacy which one I can get. I've heard some people get the medela with a tote and some don't come with a tote. I called them the other day and was on hold 10 minutes before I finally hung up. So annoying!
I found out yesterday that my insurance only covers Ameda breast pumps. I'm a little disappointed as they aren't rated as well as Medela ones, but hopefully it will work out because I really don't want to buy one out of pocket.
Also, under normal circumstances, being told to eat more would be awesome. But now I really can't. I feel full from a few bites and it's like I have a sand-filled beach ball attached to my abdomen. My H and mom keep trying to force-feed me and I feel like I'm failing.
I have been so hungry in the mornings this week. I think I need to start eating bigger breakfasts, but 1) I don't really have time to fix anything more than a bowl of cereal and 2) I don't really enjoy a lot of breakfast foods that much.
At my doctor's appt on Wednesday I was up about 6.5 lbs from my first appt. My starting preg weight was about 10 lbs more than I'm comfortable with. I think a few of those 6 lbs have been boobs growing, but I'm still a little worried about having a huge weight gain in 2nd tri.

My vision went blurry in my right eye yesterday. It was really irritated and it started right at lunch. After I took out my contacts and put on my glasses, I was fine. Today, I brought my glasses as backup.
Today, my H is taking me out to celebrate entering our 3rd trimester. I'm so excited.
I'm getting a pedicure and the massage chair is the most amazing thing ever. I can't get comfortable this late in pregnancy and always seem sore. I don't like people touching me so this is the best thing ever lol
I slept in my contacts last night. I rubbed my eye when I woke up and it was a bit red. Didn't think anything of it. I just looked in the mirror at work and my eye is completely red and blood shot and oozing junk. Now that I'm thinking about it, my eye were pretty much sealed with gunk this morning and I'm worried I have pink eye. Of course this happens just as my hives seem to be going away. If it is pink eye, please tell me I don't have to throw out my Naked palette. LOL.
And I'm pretty sure I've complained in every random I've posted. Sorry about that.

I've gained, too I'm up about 9 lbs at 17.5 weeks. It really jumped in the past couple weeks. Considering you're still making it to the gym, I think you're doing great. I just need some of your motivation!
I ate second breakfast and I'm starving for lunch. Yikes.

I'm kind of a hot mess today. My hips were hurting like crazy sleeping last night. Woke up and randomly got a bout of heartburn this morning. Ay yi yi.
This baby isn't even born and it's already not cooperating with me!!!!!!!!!!! I went in for my NT Scan today, and the baby would not freaking flip over. On its belly the entire time. The tech punched me in the gut with the wand at least 30 times. She's turning me on my side, making me cough, we stopped for a while and I went back a second time, and nada.
Yes little baby, I see you moving your legs and arms, but that is not helpful. Move over. Roll. No. Doesn't want to roll for mommy. Nothing. If this is a sign of things to come, I'm screwed.
The only good thing is that at least from what she could see, it doesn't look like there's an issue (other than my fibroids growing and more now apparently), so fingers crossed the blood test confirms that!

Um....I'm up almost 9 lbs at 13 weeks tomorrow. And I work out at least 3x/week. I started out only a couple lbs over my typical weight, but still. Very scary. So tacocat, don't worry. It is what it is.
ETA: I also will just leave this here - my doc basically said that if you're at a healthy starting weight, then just eat healthy and don't worry about it until your doc tells you to worry about it. And she expressly told me to stay off message boards and not listen to the back and forth. I mean, let's face it, that's not going to happen, but still. It was a good point.
I'll join in on the complaining: I have bronchitis and an ear infection.
Have been a hot mess for 5 or 6 days. Can't sleep at night because of the cough. Can't nap during the day because of my kids. My voice is shot.
My doc gave me a scrip for cough syrup with codeine yesterday and said it was my choice but I would be okay to take it for a short while. Finally had a full night of sleep last night.
And we're moving next weekend.
And yesterday DS1 got diagnosed with hearing loss in both ears. I've been on the phone all morning getting appointments for hearing aids and referrals for the private ENT so we can get his ear tubes replaced stat. I told a few family members last night and they are all acting like it's a terrible diagnosis and I should be crying. Instead, DH and I are feeling relieved because we have felt his speech has not been progressing in the last year. So now we have an answer. We won't know until he is older if it is permanent hearing loss.
Woah is me!
Oh, and I am desperate for a date night and all of our sitters are busy. Complain, complain, complain.
ETA: I would chime in about weight gain but.... it would be false complaining. I'm probably up 15lbs at 22 weeks and I am past the point of caring. Had a peanut butter Kit Kat chunky today and it was delicious. No regrets.
I'm getting a spur of the moment hair cut today. I never do this! All of a sudden this week I decided I needed to have a few inches cut off, like shoulder length or a little longer. I mentioned it to my DH and he says it's my hormones and I shouldn't do anything drastic. I don't think 3 inches is drastic! Lol So here I am waiting to get a hair cut.

I am not the brightest.
I'm at work and these pants are just tight, and I'm getting ready to talk belly bands with you fine ladies, and then I go to the washroom.
And look at my pants.
And look at the tag on my pants.
And realize they are one size too small anyway.
So, woot that thanks to the gallbladder/pancreatitis diet I can zip and button my size 14s, but way to go dumbass on putting on the wrong damn pants this morning :-)

I do this all the time. Nothing feels as cathartic to me as chopping off my hair!
I had grown my hair out for the wedding, which was May of 2013. July 4th weekend, I lunch and a wine tasting with another GBCN'er, she left, I walked into a salon and said, "Who can cut my hair right now?" First salon could not, second salon did, and I took off like, four inches. And loved it. I had to go back to her a few times, even though she was super expensive, because I didn't want her to think she had done something wrong by chopping all my hair off :-)

I had a very small amount of spotting last night. I know it's supposed to be normal but I haven't had the slightest bit of spotting so far so I definitely freaked out. Nothing so far today so I'm hoping it was nothing and goes away! Doesn't help that I'm not feeling as sick as usual so my mind is running like crazy..

((hugs)) estrellita. Sorry about the spotting- I know how worrisome that can be. Praying it's nothing! When is your appt? I know it's coming up soon...
tacocat, ewall, and genet313- I'm up 13 lbs at 19 wks. I gained 4.5 in 1st tri, was up 8 lbs at my 15 wk appt, and have somehow managed to gain 5 lbs in the last 4 weeks. I workout (walk) every day, sometimes twice a day and yet the weight is still packing on. I figure I'm right on track for where I want to be though...my goal is to gain 30 lbs. I was also up 10 lbs from my first pg starting weight (I gained 5 lbs between each pregnancy). You ladies are doing great! Keep it up!
I have been so hungry in the mornings this week. I think I need to start eating bigger breakfasts, but 1) I don't really have time to fix anything more than a bowl of cereal and 2) I don't really enjoy a lot of breakfast foods that much.
At my doctor's appt on Wednesday I was up about 6.5 lbs from my first appt. My starting preg weight was about 10 lbs more than I'm comfortable with. I think a few of those 6 lbs have been boobs growing, but I'm still a little worried about having a huge weight gain in 2nd tri.
I was worried too (and still am) but I've noticed some weeks I have a huge jump and others I don't gain. So it evens out. But I understand the stress/worry over it. 2 weeks ago I gained 3 lbs in one week (I'm supposed to gain 1 1/2-2 lbs per week) so I was freaked! But last week I didn't gain anything. So I must have just ate like crap that week.

The eating like crap part I is my biggest worry. I have not been doing well with that at all, but this week fruits and things are sounding good again. I'm hoping to come up with a plan this weekend for lunches. I just want to be smart about it and not go crazy one way or the other.
My H's last CPA exam was this morning!! Woohoo!!! I asked him how it was, and he said he waffled between elation and despair every 5 minutes... Haha. Even if he doesn't pass (which I think he will, he's passed the other three on the first try), it won't be the full on crazy studying, it'll be reviewing and brushing up on notes and stuff. So, yay!
We're dropping off our son with my mom at 5:30, and heading to our mini Babymoon! We're going to the mountains this weekend to relax at a fancy hotel and see a concert. I'm about to burst with excitement!
VBS ended today! Woohoo! I was partially in charge of it, and it was a success, and I'm so glad it's all done!
I just called my orthopedist's office to see about sleeping without my boot on, because it's been really bothering me at night. His assistant said it was totally fine, as long as I am 100% sure I put it back on before getting up to go to the bathroom. I am unreasonably excited about this and hoping for a good night's sleep tonight!
My nausea is down, so I've only taken half the zofran dosage for the past two days (yay!). But the reduced dosage now makes me really have to poo, except the zofran I'm still on (plus the nonstop carbs I've been eating on this research trip) means that I still can't. The poop is like right there, but won't budge.
I spent 30 minutes sitting in the bathroom at the library earlier, wanting to cry. And I am really not looking forward to a 3-hr train ride home this evening, if this situation is still ongoing.

That burrito last night gave me terrrrible heartburn. But it was so delicious!
