Today was the first day I just didn't feel like myself. I felt tired and sad all day. I am not sure why. I am a very happy person. Also, is it weird to have indigestion at night? My stomach will NOT stop making noises lol.

I ordered cable today! hahaha. We have gone the past 10 months since we moved into our house with just basic cable (10 basic channels) and netflix. I said since we aren't going to be going out I want cable! I watched A Baby Story on TLC today and sooobbbbeeed like a baby. I just can't wait to have a lo of my own . I really hope every thing is alright with the little guy in me! hahaha. Hope you had a great day.

Lilly, I HIGHLY recommend preseed! We only used it once of the three times we were ovulating back in Feb. But in Jan. we used it about 5 times lol. It just wasn't our month. DH also took zinc and we were at the gym together 3 times a week. That really helped as well. The working out helped with both of our sex drives.

Good luck! Keep us updated!

 

[Bookity]

I agree that preseed is amazing! Good luck to you, hope you get a bfp!!!

 

[ErikaJo85]

I took a test today again...bc I am a freak and need to test every day! My test line was wayyyy darker than my control line....I hope that is a good sign. I can't wait til the 9th so I can have some sense of relief!

 

[Bookity]

LOL, I took one yesterday (or was it the day before??) and same thing. Way darker line that showed up immediately. I remember wondering if there would be dye left over for the control line! Haha. I still have to wait til 4-24 though. BOO!

 

[ErikaJo85]

I COULD NOT wait that long haha. Hang in there. At least we can talk to each other about it. I keep having waves of nausea....I wonder if it is real or all in my head. Haha. It is sooo beautiful out I am going to go for a walk tonight.

 

[Bookity]

Ugh, I had to entrust baby to DH today for a few hours while I got a bit of a nap. Horrible headache and some nausea. I think it could be because I didn't get to eat today until 4 o'clock apart from a granola bar (yeah, so filling!). So I'm hoping something like this doesn't happen when he's not here (He was off work today, but will be working the weekend). Oy. I just sent him to get me a baked potato from wendy's. This headache is still bugging me. Wish I could take something stronger than tylenol.

 

[ErikaJo85]

I took tylenol a few hours ago and I feel so much better. It is hard bc I am a bit of an ibuprofen junkie.
I had a baked potato from Wendy's a few days ago! haha. With chili on it..soo good.
I am nervous for work tomorrow. I don't work until 3 during the week but I work 8-4 on Saturday's. This will be my first full Saturday working of being pregnant. With the way I felt today I am very nervous for tomorrow!

 

[Bookity]

You'll be alright. What kind of work do you do? Do you work with food? That might be difficult.

Is it wrong that I wanted to puke when you mentioned the chili?? Haha. I'm not much a fan of their chili. Too spicy for me. I'm a very bland girl. If I start craving that I'll know it's all baby!

 

[ErikaJo85]

Too spicy??? hahaha. I think their chili is so weak lol. I don't work with foods but I coach competitive gymnastics. It was fine today. I got 9 and a half hours of sleep last night. I feel like I am not sure if I should be spotting the kids or not. I don't feel like I did at all yesterday. Maybe I just needed a good nights sleep!

DH is having his sister and some cousins over tonight and we are going to grill and have a bonfire. Such a beautiful day out. I kinda hate when I don't have symptoms because it makes me feel like something is wrong.

 

[Bookity]

I know I know, I have a very bland pallette, it doesn't take much for me to call something "too spicy" lol. A good night's sleep is really helpful. I didn't really get one last night unfortunately. DD woke up at 2 am and didn't go back to bed until like 4. I was so tired, I made DH handle getting her back to sleep. She woke up again around 6 and went back to sleep within 30 minutes. Got up at 8:30 for the day, had breakfast at 9 and at 10 was all ready for nap time. She slept for 2 and a half hours! Haha, that's what happens when she doesn't sleep well at night. I wish now I'd taken advantage of it a little more instead of napping myself.

I know what you mean about wanting the symptoms. But try not to think about it too much. There will come a time when you'll be wishing the opposite.

 

[ErikaJo85]

I woke up this morning and I literally felt hungover! Haha. I am sooooo tired. Maybe some symptoms are kicking in. I hope you got a good night sleep last night. I didn't go to bed until about 1 am! I was trying so hard to stay away with everyone but I had to leave and go to bed lol.

Today I went thirft store shopping with a friend and I found a cuteeee 80's highchair. It was wood and only $7! I wanted to buy it and paint in but it is too early. My friend bought a vintage coach purse and I really wanted one as well but I felt guilty spending any money so I bought NOTHING. I can't wait til I can start buying things!

 

[Bookity]

Got a bit more sleep last night. Still feeling nauseous today. I dislike it, but if it means the bean is sticking I can handle it! Still crazy tired, which is making me feel like a terrible mother. Michaela took another long nap today. Like an hour and a half! Usually her naps are 20-30 minutes. I did work on laundry this time as badly as I wanted to nap too. By the time I was at a point where I COULD lay down she'd already been sleeping for an hour and I knew I'd only feel more tired by the time she woke up. I'm going to make an effort to go to bed earlier tonight.

I don't think I'll be able to do a whole lot of buying this time around... unless we find out we're having a boy. There are certain things that I just don't want a little boy to have to use (like our pink carseat!). I get enough people thinking that Michaela is a boy (when she wears all pink I have no idea), I'm sure if I had a little boy in a pink car seat there would be endless "she's so cute" comments, lol.

 

[ErikaJo85]

Good thing. You will have to go to bed earlier now. I am a night person and a few weeks ago my bedtime was 1-2 am. Now it is 10:30-11:00 pm! haha. Funny how things change. We just went to the Hunger Games and me being so emotional and hormonal I cried and cried haha.

I am totally fine with buying versitlie things I think. I mean if I have a girl obvi I will buy her SOME pink things but I think we are going to basically buy things so we can reuse them. I also found a brand new pack and play at the thrift store for $35. It was green with zoo animals and sooo cute. Ahh. I can't wait to start buying. Hope you are feeling better today.

 

[Bookity]

I know. I will be going to bed shortly. I cannot handle staying up as late as I was. Not while still getting up with DD in the morning. I have been taking a half unisom tab the last 2 nights and will be taking another tonight. Not because I have trouble sleeping, but it's supposed to help the nausea. I think I may have to try and take some in the morning too (think paired with B6 it would -hopefully- counteract the sleepy part). I wonder if I should look into those seasickness bands...

I saw the Hunger Games on Friday with DH. I thought it was very close to the book. All the stuff that was different I read about beforehand in Entertainment Weekly so I understood it and was expecting it. So I didn't annoy my husband "tsking" every thing they changed from the book. LOL. I didn't really cry... got teary a couple times, but didn't cry. I think the book made me cry more.

I know, I really should have gone with more unisex stuff. Actually the carseat is probably the main thing that isn't unisex and should be.

I haven't completely thought thru what we are going to do about sleeping arrangements. I guess by then DD will actually be in the nursery (she's been sleeping in pack n play in our room), #2 will be in bassinet or PNP in our room. I think DH is talking about getting a cot in the nursery because he is way too paranoid that someone is going to get in the house and kidnap her. Oy, SMH.

 

[ErikaJo85]

Haha that is cute he is worried about that. We have a tiny two bedroom house so I am not sure what we are going to do. My parents live 4 hours away and come and stay with us once a month so the spare bedroom is basically theirs lol. We also have a lot of people stay with us since we live so close to the city. I love where we live. We live about 10 mins from Minneapolis but we live off a lake. Too bad when we buy a house in a few years we can't afford to buy in the neighborhood we live in.

I agree. I did cry reading the book and I knew what was going to happen in the movie but I still cried. When Rue died. Uffff. lol. I read the books last summer. I would sit out at the lake on my day off and read read read. I only work 3 and a half days this summer I am excited to be able to do the same thing this summer!

Ok, so I feel awful at night but when I wake up in the morning I feel great!?!!!??! Is that weird? I got 12 hours of sleep last night and I feel like a new person today. It is when I get tired I feel like I am soooo hungover.
Well I hope you got a better night sleep last night.

One weird question... Do you eat potato salad during pregnancy? My friend is a nurse prac. and she told me not to but my sister in law is a RN and told me I could. I LOVE potato salad and we have a huge tub of it in the fridge from our get together last weekend and I really want to eat some lol.

 

[Bookity]

I'm quite close to a lake myself, though I don't live right on it. It is quite nice to get those lake breezes though!

I don't know how to answer your question as I don't eat potato salad ever and don't think I've ever heard of pregnant women not being allowed to. There isn't like raw egg in it is there?? I personally don't do anything w/ mayo or mustard because I'm a picky eater and it grosses me out.

I'm STILL nauseous today. I think I'll have to try and stop commenting on it because I don't see it changing anytime soon. LOL. DD slept a bit fitfully last night. Woke up this morning to find the temp very low in the house. Furnace was off, UGH. All better now.

 

[ErikaJo85]

Haha, well I am going to continue to eat it. You do sound a little picky . Haha. My husband thinks I am picky.

Our cat got sick and threw up and pooped outside her litter box today. I am so mad. I had to clean because I cannot let it sit there all day and wait for DH to get home at 5:30. Just had to vent.

So I have 1 week and 6 days until my appointment!!! yay!

Are you still testing? I haven't taken one since Saturday and it is killing me but they are SOOO expensive. I am not sure I need to test anymore??

 

[Bookity]

No I definitely don't think you need to test anymore. I haven't tested for like a week I think. I'm fine with that. I still have one more test in my bathroom drawer, but I don't feel the need to test anymore. Especially not now that the nausea has hit and doesn't seem to want to go AWAY! Ugh!

I really hate how picky I am. I do make an effort once in a while to eat something I normally wouldn't, trying to expand my horizons. So that's how I know that I do like cheesecake, and spinach and artichoke dip. (not together, ew). I really hope that my kids are more adventurous eaters.

How exciting your appointment is getting closer! Mine is finally less than a month away!

 

[ErikaJo85]

I didn't know if I should be testing or not still. But then I get nervous because besides being tired and sore bbs I have felt fine yesterday and today. I am such a worrier though.

I love cheesecake and spinach dip! Haha. Not together either though. We had THE BEST spinach and artichoke dip at our wedding last summer.

Yay for your apt being less than a month away! I have been watching baby shows all day today. I need to go and do something . Haha
