Weekend chatter

[ivy]

Congrats on the new job spearmintleaf! Two weeks off in between jobs sounds glorious. Are you going to do anything fun?

My husband has been out of town since Monday morning and comes home tonight! So excited to see him. I think we're going to tell my in-laws this weekend. My parents are never in town and will be next weekend (and lord knows when the next time will be after that), so we're telling them then. Was going to tell the in-laws next weekend too, but my FIL's bday is in a few days so we're getting together this weekend anyway. May as well tell. I get an anxiety attack every time I think about telling anyone.

No big plans this weekend. We're going to see the ILs in a couple days, so just last minute stuff to get ready for that trip.

[swiftlyirun]

ivy I feel the same way! I want everyone to know so I can stop making stuff up about why I'm not running as much etc. My sister is driving me crazy to go on long runs with her, and in 100 degree heat I just can't do it. On the other hand I'm terrified to tell anyone.

It's our anniversary this weekend and my SIL and her boyfriend are coming to visit. . It's a long story, but there's a lot going on with the BF(also DH's best man) and they need us right now. It's the right thing to do but dang man, more lying about not doing stuff and I'm so.tired.

We have a HUGE event at work next weekend so it's all prep for that (oh plus my normal job....!) I'm ready for things so slow down a bit!!!

I have a midwife appointment tomorrow morning. I've been too sick to leave the flat before noon most days, so I just hope I don't need to be sick en route. I mean, I guess barfing on the streets of London following a Friday night is probably normal, but it would be super embarrassing considering I'm not 19 and hungover. I think it's just a routine appointment to gather information and sign waiver forms, and I'm hoping they'll have all the records of our backgrounds from last time. It was a pain trying to check all the different boxes for my 'White (Other)' ancestry and H's 'Other Non-European (Other)' ancestry.

Enjoy your 2 weeks of freedom spearmintleaf!

Take plastic bags with you, loira. Just in case.


No GD for me!

The RE said I can come Monday for an ultrasound due to the spotting but I leave town on Sunday. At least it's stopped again and I have an OB appointment the day we get back.

We're going to Jackson Hole to see my parents. Should be fun! And we're getting a date night while there too, yay!

[ginkgoleaf]

My nurse just told me I can switch to Crinone twice a day when I go on vacation - yes! So glad I won't have to travel with the supplies and give the PIO to myself (DH is coming for just the second half of our trip). Woot! Last day of Crinone is 7/5, then OB appointment 7/7.

We were going to take DS to Hershey Park tomorrow, but it is supposed to rain all day so we scrapped it. I'm hoping the rain will slow down tomorrow night. I really want to go out for fajitas.

[G22]

Yay Muddled!

swiftlyirun, I had the same problem with hiding the pregnancy in the beginning. I wasn't allowed to run following IVF and I would try to keep up my IG posts but felt like a liar since I wasn't running. When I finally shared I was pregnant like 3 people were like "I knew it! You stopped running as much!". I was just glad no one asked me before I was ready to share.

[ginkgoleaf]

spearmintleaf, I agree. Sometimes I'm super itchy from it too, which sucks. I'm seriously celebrating my last day of it!

[ssg73]

Today was my first day of vacation so for the next two months every day is a weekend for me!. It was busier than I would have liked but oh well. My bff who lives out of state is here for a week so I had a quick visit with her. Then dd had a birthday party at a children's charity that provides clothes, toys and school supplies for needy children. It was fun but super hectic and very over stimulating. I then had to run to the party store to pick up a few things and then the pet store.

Tomorrow will be finishing last minute things for dd's birthday. I am making way too many things for it. Whoops. At least I decided to cut back on the food and drinks. It is from 2-4 so we are just having snacks (some cheese and crackers, fruit salad and munchies for adults and some healthy options for the kids so that makes my life much easier.

Tomorrow night we are taking dd to her first concert, Ingrid Michaelson, dd is obsessed with her. Hopefully she makes it through the night it is going to be a late one.

Sunday is her party at a local swimming place. She is totally pumped for it. We didn't do a big party last year and she liked what we did but still wanted a big party with all her friends so this year we are doing that.

Just really distracting myself until Monday. DW is asleep right now so I am taking that as a good sign. Unless she is just hiding in our room playing on her phone.......

What area do you live in? Near there? I'm in the Philly burbs.

We're not in PA. Hershey is a few hours for us.

Last night we took our dog to visit my grandmas at the nursing home. All the residents LOVED him!
Today we have a family wedding. We are making a pit stop on the way home at this place that has 100 milkshakes and 100 sundaes. I can't wait!
Sunday we are hosting a cookout for my husbands team. It's like the only day of the month without rain, thank goodness we can be outside.

I woke up with cramping a few times during the night. Debating on texting my OB.

[ssg73]

boiler717 my dw is a social worker at a nursing home and several of the people she works with often bring their dogs to work. The residents love them. I wish I could have a dog at school.

I also hope the cramping is nothing. Call if you will feel better.

Since this weekend is so busy I am kind of in denial that we are leaving for vacation in a week. I need to start making some lists. After the party tomorrow.

I finished one of the projects last night. Only a few more things to do.

I am starting to be so nervous about Monday. Nothing I can do , what will be will be.

I am making dw sleep all day today. We have a concert tonight and she needs to stay awake.

[belovedbride07]

I threw up again last night and still feel a higher-than-usual level of crappy this morning. I'm eating a pop tart in hopes that improves things.

DH is out doing his volunteer thing. They needed more help and I almost volunteered, but now I'm really glad I didn't!

I think I might have found the perfect cat from the adoption group I've been following. I'm going to put in an application later; our furry boy needs a sibling and I don't think the two hairless ones are going to count in his eyes!

[dollyllama]

boiler717 that place sounds awesome! Sorry about the cramping, I've had some the past couple days and battling trying to stay calm. Hope yours subsides soon.

We are 2 hours into a 3.5 hour drive into the mountains for the weekend. We're both playing in a tournament that starts today. There's a good chance that this will be my last one for the year... I'll keep playing as normal but the tournament stuff has been hard with first tri not feeling well and when that passes I'm not sure I'll have the energy and basic ability to compete. Happy weekend!

[loira]

Sorry you're feeling sick belovedbride07. I can commiserate.

Midwife appointment went well. She started telling us she was going to make a referral to the FMU, and I was like 'Oh, that's already done. Yep, I'm in touch with the genetic counsellor. Oh yeah, I've already been seeing a psychotherapist specialising in pregnancy loss for the last year." She laughed and said I didn't need her. I'm glad I wouldn't have fallen through any cracks in the system though. They gave me my 'book'. It's this dossier where you keep all your records and you're supposed to bring it to every appointment. I remember ripping up my last one and throwing it at the wall when we got the news about V. H has kindly hidden this one from me.

I'm at a lake resort in the TX wine country. Right now, I'm laying on the beach working on my tan (sunscreen on, of course). Massage and pedi later today. Our last weekend away before our lives are turned upside down and so far so good.

[boiler717]

Headed to a family wedding. When we told my grandma last weekend about the baby we asked her not to tell anyone yet. She took one look at my belly today and said "I think people will figure it out at the wedding." LOL

Related, has anyone else had their baby eat their butt? I expected to be pregnant in my butt, but now it looks so flat! I need to work on some squats, stat.

[boiler717]

Ugh I am so upset. My mom is the primary one who takes care of my grandma. She moved into a nursing home June 1 after living with my parents. Since then, the only people to visit her are my mom, her sister, my brother and me. My grandma has 5 living children and 25+ grandkid and 10+ great grandkids, most within 90 min or so. The four of us who go try to have someone go every day -- my grandma has dementia so seeing family regularly, playing games, etc are so important to her health. My mom is having a knee replacement on Tuesday, she will be staying with me after so it will be really hard for us to get out to see grandma. I asked my aunt if they could make a point to see her in the next two weeks. Her response? "She doesn't need visitors all the time like that, she lived alone for years." I am so disgusted.

My baby ate my butt. It was there while I was pregnant, but now it's gone. GONE GONE. Sigh. I liked my butt. Maybe now that he's crawling I can do squats while I chase him.

You look so cute and happy!

Ugh I'm so annoyed. I pulled in the driveway home from acu and DH was going out. He said I couldn't come with him and he'd be back in a few hours. He was super giggly which means he's up to something that is meant to be a surprise for me, but I'm pretty pissed. I'm hungry, I kinda want to go shopping or do something, and if I just go out he'll be upset and I'll ruin whatever he's planning. But fuck dude, it's not cool to just go out and not say when you'll be back and expect me to just sit here. I also don't feel like texting him to ask when he'll be home, because I know he's trying to be cute but I actually find this to be pretty rude. I'll probably do what I always do which is just go out and ruin whatever he's planning. I did this once before- he wouldn't tell me what he had planned and I somehow refused to go along with it and missed out on reservations at my favorite, super exclusive restaurant.

ETA: I just realized I sound like a crazy person so I called him. He said to eat and he'd be home in an hour. I asked why all the secrecy and he said "maybe I'm doing something for you" and I was like oook. It's our first weekend day without the stepkids since mid-May so i kinda wanted to spend time together. I'm sure I'll be touched but right now I'm just so annoyed. Anyway I'm going to saladworks for lunch, and then target since as of this morning my bras no longer fit. Trying to reign in my bitchy mood...

So what was the surprise??
