Monday Randoms and Links

[Deleted]

Good morning! How does Monday look for you?

I'm counting days til break starts...on the whole, my kids are good, but I am so ready for vacation.

More sleep concerns: community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/70358145.aspx

Just wait til she has a newborn...heck, just wait til she hits third tri.

[sake]

My monday looks pretty foggy and rainy here. 14 more school days until break for me! Then I won't be back till mid March! YAY!

That girl is crazy. I still sleep on my stomach-ish. As much as I can on my stomach, b/c that's the only way I can sleep. People who over exaggerate their issues in the first tri get on my nerves. Morning sickness- totally understandable, and you can bitch about that all you want. But complaining about pretty much anything else makes me side-eye you.

Talked to my sister this weekend.... that's always a REAL TREAT.
She was talking about how DEAD TIRED she is, and about how she is sore, and blah blah blah... she's like 15 weeks. I really have no sympathy. She had my dad come over and put up her Christmas Tree and decorate the whole outside of her house. I am 34 weeks pregnant, and put up 2 tress, decorated inside, and did all the outside decorating that didn't require standing on the roof. I can't stand how helpless she is sometimes.

I didn't even know I was pregnant until I was about 6 and a half weeks, b/c my ovulating schedule was messed up. 5 weeks pregnant doesn't hurt at all... except maybe sore boobs.

My week is starting to look better than I thought. Last week at work went GREAT, so things are finally starting to calm down. Woohoo!

We have one final push before the end of my project, and I'm hoping I'll be able to work a few overnight shifts so I can go Christmas shopping during the day.

And then to be a total AW, I'm trying REALLY hard to eat well and run throughout this pregnancy, and I logged 2 4+ miles runs and 1 10.5 mile run last week. Woo hoo! ;D

[mrssandro]

I roll my eyes at these 1st tri posts with all the complaining. It's like they have nothing better to one up each other on non existent pregnancy symptoms.

I also completely decorated my tree and living room with all the Christmas stuff. I didn't want to but that was because I am just lazy. But dd really wanted a tree.

I also work out 5-6 days a week and I think it really had helped a ton with keeping regular and getting through the afternoons.

[baconlettucetomato]

Morning! Well heck, it's almost lunch time, woot! So bored at work, I hate Mondays. And I have an actual full week of work, the last three have been short weeks. Boo.

1st Tri is full of cuckoos.

[iheartvino]

I haven't had a good night sleep since the week before I got my bfp, but that is because my body refuses to let me sleep past 4 am. Since that has been my only real symptom, I consider myself lucky. And I sleep on my stomach, since, you know, there isn't any more fat there than there was from before I got pregnant.

mswax, great work on the running! I was so good about working out, until Thanksgiving. Then H got bronchitis and stayed home from work, and I couldn't get out of bed to go to the gym without him in the morning. I'm weak.

Thanks! I exercise at night (mostly) after the kids go to bed. I'd be unable to drag myself out of bed in the morning too

mswax, I second the congrats on the running! I wish I had the motivation to keep exercising. I half-heartedly tried the elliptical last week and made it about 10 minutes. Pathetic.

I think people in general tend to worry too much during pregnancy (and I am naturally anxious!). I think the best thing for baby is a relaxed mom--if it takes regular Subway or caffeine to get there, so be it.

Good lord I totally agree with you. I refuse to give up my one cup of coffee in the morning. It keeps me sane and is the only thing that ensures I poop daily. Suck it TB telling me no caffeine!

Jssy!! That is awesome news. Good work, baby!

I have Mondays off to spend with G. Today we have music class in the morning, then I am going to see my grandparents and do some Christmas shopping. After nap time we will take Jimmy to the park if it isn't raining.

[baconlettucetomato]

Good news Jssy!

I was seriously eyeing the same Scarlett but this poster has totally ruined the name for me now.

Blech. I can't believe this is a trend. I couldn't imagine naming my kid Pypyr or Bynjamyn.

My eyes are bleeding/

[baconlettucetomato]

Ugh. My mother told me to quit my job so I could SAH. No mom, thanks for the advice though.

[osulori]

Scarlytt? Oh good god.

My initial appt is tomorrow. Probably just pee in a cup and blood testing, but I may smile real big and see if someone would be willing to give me a quick u/s for some peace of mind. I know it probably won't happen, but part of me thinks it wouldn't hurt to try.

I'm going on a run in a little bit...in a tank top and shorts. Yay for 60+ degree temps in December...in Ohio, no less! But first I need to let the Raising Cane's I had for lunch settle, otherwise it could get ugly real quick.

[iheartvino]

OSU - good luck at your appt! I hope you do get an ultrasound!

I thought Natalie with a y was going to be Nataly, not Natylie. What is wrong with people? Why the y's?

I told my boss! And we're going to announce on FB tonight. Pretty excited.

Wait, we can't sleep on our banks in second tri? I mean, I usually sleep on my side anyway but sometimes my back. Is this a thing I should know about?

No, you're supposed to sleep on you bank. That's how you pay for the kid when it comes out!

[joolz]

NQB, I wake up a lot on my back. Don't worry.

Imoan, that name thread last night made me so postal.

I can't wait to tell FB. DH's mom is being a royal PITA(she accidently found on FB through a relative, long story) and I want to let him work things out with her first.
