First day back after a 5 day weekend is rough. I just want to sit home and look at my Christmas tree.
I am feeling so uninspired this year with my Christmas shopping. I usually have ideas for at least a few people but I am stumped for gifts for both sides of the family.
I'm calling my OB today-I am a bit freaked out because my RE tan my progesterone on Saturday and my numbers are still really low. They don't know what to do for me since they usually don't have women this late. My first OB appt isn't until the 10th, but I'm hoping they can see me today.
Also- sometimes when I roll over in bed, it feels like something is tearing. The pain is so sharp it will wake me up. That is freaking me out too. I guess I'm just a big bundle of nerves right now, ugh.

Hugs to you, I know how you feel. When I sneeze I get the worst pain below my belly button like that. It freaks me out. I'm sure your OB will calm your nerves.
Elsa, round ligament pain is what you're feeling, and it's totally normal but it does make you think of horrible things. With subsequent pregnancies you get them earlier and earlier. I hope you get great answers on your labs.
I'm starting to miss our old house. It's stupid because we're much better off where we are now for a lot of reasons.
I miss my old house payment. lol.
Lol! Yeah I don't miss that! That's a good point! I don't miss our old driveway either. We'll appreciate the nice, paved flat driveway this year when it snows. It's just the memories.
The 9 month old had a crappy night, which means I had a Dr appt night. I overslept slightly this morning and had 30 minutes to get 3 kids up, fed, presentable, and out the door. I pulled it off but didn't get to eat and now I'm starving. I won't be home until probably 11 either

I hope they're able to get you in soon!
I get the same tearing/pulling feeling, and my RE assured me that it's round ligament pain, and it's possible to get it very early. I've had it since week 6/7. It's actually been better lately, although I was laying on my back the other day and sneezed, and had a sharp pain all the way across my belly. It's freaky.
I go for my first appointment with my OB tomorrow, and I'm nervous too. I thought we'd be able to hear the heartbeat, but they said it might be too early. If we can't hear it, and I don't get another u/s, how do they know everything is ok?
This weekend was... a lot. Thanksgiving was actually perfectly delightful. Friday we had to go OOT for a funeral that was further away than DH thought it was. Luckily we left early thinking DS would nap in the car.. HAH! Or that he would nap during the service -- DOUBLE HA! He finally napped FIVE HOURS after his normal nap time, and only for 30-40min. Saturday was fine and relaxing.
Last night we were having a perfectly lovely moment after bath time as I was getting him ready for bed, after a day where he pushed looooots of buttons/boundaries, and I was having a life-is-good moment... when somehow the child managed to poke me GOOD in the eye to the point where I couldn't open it for close to 10 minutes. Luckily DH was home to grab the baby, since he was standing on the changing table and I could no longer see. lol. UGH. I woke up crying like 4 times from the pain last night, and it's red and swollen and painful today. I was really hoping I'd wake up and it'd be fine. Newp. HAPPY MONDAY!
DH went out of town this week. I'm a little relieved. Things have actually been really great for the last month, we've been working pretty hard on our marriage but I'm grateful for the break.
He's been much more involved with DS which is great, however he does endless threats with no consequences and DS has figured out that he's a chump and has been a total asshole as a result. I'm hoping to reset him this week and then "train" DH when he gets home.
We are getting a real tree this year and waiting for SDs to go get it. I'm really annoyed that I don't have a tree up already. This real tree stuff is for the birds.
Some of the daycare teachers are not speaking to me anymore. I cried the last two mornings after drop off. None of them are A's teachers but still. I haven't posted about it here much, but our daycare is NFP government funded like about half the daycares in Quebec. I'm the chair of the board and have been on the board for 4 years. The government has been cutting funding like crazy so we've had to do cuts in our budget. As a result the employees unionized two years ago and the negotiation process has been fucking hell. But they just stopped speaking to me a few weeks ago. I think it is related to one particular situation where a teacher also had a contract as a service provider to clean the daycare for the last ten years. After a few issues of not cleaning properly, being rude to the manager when it was mentioned to him, his wife (also a teacher) cleaning on her teaching shift and him possibly stealing cleaning products, his contract was terminated a month ago. Just his cleaning contract. He is still a teacher. And while we approved the change of service suppliers, I had no real day in that decision. But I agreed with it. So him, his wife and two other teachers whom I lived don't speak to me anymore. Like I say hi and they look at me and don't answer. I'm torn as to whether I should confront them, ignore them, quit the board, switch daycares. I don't know. I always had warm fuzzy feelings towards the daycare and now I want to cry every day.
Man this turned way long. It feels good to get it off my chest. Pdq I will DD.
We ordered these enormous prints of photographs of the hocking hills area for our living room and it was an ungodly amount of money. Why is art so expensive??

Surprisingly, the holiday and resulting five-day "vacation" left me energized and I'm really ready to start the work week. I started a new job about six weeks ago and this is the first week I FINALLY have tangible work and meetings to keep me busy, so I'm excited.
I give it another two weeks before I am over it LOL.

Me too. I brought some work and am sitting at a coffee shop at the mall. My goal is to tackle a whole bunch of kids.
I've upped my workout this past week. About 12K steps a day, ran three times and added strength exercises 4 times a week (short length). I've also been watching what I eat. I gained a pound. Fuck this shit.

Stress? That always happens to me when I'm stressed
I'm dreading looking at my bank account after 5 days of food, shopping and I don't even know what else. Thank goodness it's payday for me and I can get everything straightened out.
I hate returning to work after a long weekend. I feel like I did nothing.
Our tree isn't up either, I feel defeated. Granted, we're looking to buy a real one this year. It will be my first!
DH has planned something for my birthday this Friday. He asked that I take a half day on Friday, I have no idea what's in store, but I'm excited to learn about my surprise.
I'm having a stabbing pain in my left abdomen, where I imagine my ovaries are, and it's awful. I go to the gyn for a checkup on the 9th.
I changed my makeup and feel like a clown. H said I look fine all i left it.
I'm exhausted. I hope I'm not getting sick, I can't afford it. H has been sick for days. He never calls off work...he has once or twice in ten years. He stayed at 6 today and was back home by 8:30.

I am grumpy about bring back to work. Last week was super busy with hosting and having someone staying with us. This morning I had to get up early to fly out of LAX (took 2 and a half hours to get there) and I won't be back until Friday. Blergh.
Someone down the hall is hacking up a lung, and not the "I'm sick so I need to cough" kind of cough. It's grossing me out. Yay being back to work!
I only have my mom and my two nieces left to buy Christmas presents for. I've hated this time of year for the last 5 years, but I'm actually looking forward to it this year. Ds is at an age where he will actually participate and enjoy it and that is helping.
For the life of me, I don't know why I let family get under my skin the way they do.
I spend all year minimizing contact with these people because I know they don't care for me, I know they are toxic. And then the holidays come, I get all earnest in my sense of togetherness and BAM, my ego is crushed and it takes weeks to fully recover.

at my first one, they did blood work and then scheduled my u/s for the next day. we weren't given a doppler option at all, so maybe they'll do that!
