daily bitching ....

[sake]

I am FUCKING UNCOMFORTABLE. My back hurts, I keep getting kicked in the cervix and bladder, and I do not want to be at work anymore. Not just like, I don't want to be at work today, but like, I don't want to come back until March.

Unfortunately, I have to work until I go into labor, b/c I don't have short term disability, so all of my leave will be unpaid. So I have to drag this out as long as possible.

I just want to go home, and lay down. WHIIIIIINEEEEEE :-(

[imoan]

I'm hungry! And I pretty much burned through my fun money last week during Hurricane Sandy by eating breakfast and lunch out every.single.day. But damn it- I don't want to eat the shit I brought in!!!

[sake]

The 10 weeks between 20 and 30 seemed fast, but i feel like the 10 weeks between 30 and 40 are going to DRAAAAAAAAGGGGGGG on and on.
These last 2 weeks have seriously lasted like 3 months in my mind.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but you're totally right about the last ten months.

I hate the phase where regular clothes don't fit but maternity clothes are too big. I think I am also between sizes in mat clothes so it might be leggings, boots and dresses-tunics for awhile. I just look fat right now!

[wkatie]

I am really irritable today. One of my coworkers is really dumb. Like, really. Usually I can just ignore the stupid and get on with my day. Today I want to push her off a cliff.

Daycare is killing me, man. We looked at three today and I'm so overwhelmed. The one we liked the most has a crappy schedule and is just closed for two weeks in the winter and summer. WTF? Our FT jobs don't give us winter and summer break. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.

The one we liked second best doesn't have availability until late October so I would have to extend my ML by a month. I think work would be fine with it, but again WTF? How is anyone less pregnant than me already looking at daycare? How is the waiting list a YEAR? This is mediocre suburbia, USA not fucking Manhattan.

Hmm. I should probably start looking at daycare, huh?

[jessuhmarie]

I'm bumping this for today.. My belly fucking hurts. My skin feels like it is tearing and the only relief I can get is when I hold it. I'm obviously not going to be walking around holding my stomach up 24/7

[sake]

We found a baby sitter we like, but she wants too much $$. We could send our baby to PRIVATE SCHOOL for what this lady wants. So I don't know what we're going to do about that.

Also, my dog puked this morning, and I had to clean it up, while i gagged SO HARD over and over, and almost threw up everywhere myself, except then I knew I would have to clean that up, and it would be a never ending cycle, so I made myself hold it together.

[urbancowgirl]

My boobs hurt and I'm starving. I'm going to the doctor for a physical (scheduled before I found out I was pg) and I have to fast. Also, my cat pissed all over the place and it took me like 45 minutes to clean it up.

Sake, I feel your pain re: the dog vomit. My H has to clean up cat vomit because it makes me want to puke. We have an agreement: I handle anything that comes from the back of the animal, and he handles anything that comes from the front.

[sake]

H is much better at puke than poop, so that's our agreement too, but he had already left for the morning, so there was no choice.

[urbancowgirl]

I probably would have left it, lol!

[sake]

the thing that sucks is, it wasn't even our usual puker. Our lab throws up WAAAAY more than our other dog, and the lab was happily snoozing away while the other one threw up. UGH, can't win today.

[sake]

I was doing ok with the nausea until recently. I got sick a total of 3 times early on in my pregnancy, then felt fine until last week. Now it's hit or miss about how I will feel, and eating is becoming more complicated, b/c I don't want to "ruin" certain foods for myself by getting sick after eating them, then never being able to eat them again.

OMG sakelp, I feel your pain. Last night while my H was out getting Zofran, I came home after voting to a pile of poop in the kitchen. This was right after I threw up every drop of a hot chocolate in the elementary school parking lot.

BUT I have Zofran now! I'm still a little nauseous, but less so! And I can eat! It's a Christmas miracle.

YAY!!!

[iheartvino]

I am going to kill my H. I wanted to wait until 12 weeks to tell everybody. H didn't want to wait that long. I said, ok, let's tell our parents after the first appointment.

Ever since we've found out on Sunday (yea, only three days ago), H keeps on saying how hard it is to keep it in and how he wishes he could just tell his parents. It was so annoying, so I said, fine, tell your parents. And turns out, he told somebody at a party on Saturday that he thought I was pregnant. And somebody else guessed it. So now 4-5 people know about it, and I am so scared that my parents will find out by somebody else.

And mostly, I'm just not ready for people to look at me as a pregnant woman just yet.

I know he's just excited. He just doesn't understand why we wouldn't tell people already. He's an only child and its the first kid in his family since him. I just need to let it sink in before we tell other people.

It was a little different for us, b/c this was unplanned, and not really at a time where I was wanting to have a baby, so I just told H that I wasn't ready for other people to be happy for us, when I wasn't even happy for us yet. And he understood, and kept his mouth shut.

If I were you, I would just sit him down, and explain the 1st tri risks, and tell him that you don't want to possibly have to explain a miscarriage and have a bunch of people feeling sorry for you or feeling like they don't know what to say, if something WERE to happen.

Oh, I have. And his response is that if something does happen, he'd need their support. He's done telling people until I'm ready and what is done is done.

I love my H. There are 1000 fantastic qualities about him. Keeping things to himself is not one of them. I knew this was going to happen, even though we talked about it a lot before I was pregnant. The man cannot keep his damn mouth shut.

Thanks for the perspective, though.

I only got one ultrasound at 8 weeks for dating until 12 weeks nt scan option. Maybe try heartrate?

omg how did I not notice that? Duh, Blindy! lol

[candreco]

I am so freaking tired of DH being OOT. He ended up with a bunch of different things stacking up, and so has been OOT for most of the last month, is gone this week, and will be gone next week. It calms down a lot after this, but fuck I'm tired of taking care of DD, working FT, covering all of the daily routine stuff and keeping up with all the other crap, which includes prepping for DD's birthday party next weekend and Thanksgiving the week after that, by myself while trying to also make sure I'm taking care of myself/baby.

I will say that I'm grateful that this stuff is out of the way now, and not piling onto February and March.

vino, I am your H.

My H is so reserved this time around. He let me tell a lot of people last time and when I miscarried it was really disappointing for both of us to pass the news around.

We're just going to tell everyone at Thanksgiving. I'll be close to 10 weeks by then. Here's my question though...I had an ultrasound at 6.5 weeks for measurements/dating. I have another appt next week that will technically be my first prenatal appt. Do you think I'll get another ultrasound to confirm everything and make sure everything's still growing in there? All these stories about women whose babies stop growing at 8 weeks with no external signs of miscarriage are freaking me out!

Snazzy, I had one at 6 weeks, then another at 9 weeks bc there wasn't a heartbeat on the first one, just the sac bc it was too early. I hope they will give you another ultrasound. Or at least find the heartbeat on the Doppler, to put your mind at ease.

[imoan]

I had one at 6 weeks because I was earlier than I thought, then one at 8 weeks for my real first appt, then 12 weeks for the NT scan. I'll have my next one at 20 weeks for the a/s.

[sake]

I go back to the doctor tomorrow for another growth scan, and a non stress test. I have to start going weekly now. I'm looking forward to the ultrasound, even though I've had a lot of them. But not looking forward to having to go in every week.

[adlove]

I think my morning sickness is starting +o( |-)

[sake]

Just walk into your she's office and ask them to use the Doppler on you. Mine has offered to do that for me anytime I'm worried About anything. They will do it, it takes one minute, and you will feel much more at ease!

[jessuhmarie]

Ruxin, I went through a few weeks around how far along you are and I felt crazy too. It scared me how fucked up I felt. The Doppler was the savior of my sanity. Things got a little better every week, but I still find myself imagining awful shit happening.

[jessuhmarie]

Also, my symptoms disappeared completely for about a week around this time of insanity and they came back 10x worse ):
