Ttc - big hugs. That is so tough for you and your family. X x (congrats on the line)
wish - i hope you find an opening for a new job. The old one sounds stressful. Im sorry abput your cat. We lost ours too in a similar way.
Miki - I confess I hated being pregnant. It was like having flu for 9 months.
 
TTC, so sorry to hear about your brother. It must be so hard for you and your family :hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs: I can see that second line, congratulations! You must be overwhelmed with so much going on in your life. I hope you are managing to cope.

Terri- Are you enjoying your brithday week yet? I remember it was in May, but I forget when! Blame it on pregnancy brain!

Wish- You're PUPO by now, I presume! So exciting!

Spud- How awful for you to feel so bad for 9 months :hugs: I too compare this feeling to having a really bad flu all of the time. And I don't get queasy from the flu, instead I have a gigantic appetite and enjoy food, so this is a lot worse for me.
 
Looking forward to hearing from you wish!

AFM - even lighter light today. I'm thinking CP.
 
Ttc- I'm so so sorry for your brothers Illness- that's just awful. Big hugs from here. And I hope you get some strong lines soon. Please let us know how he's doing and how you're doing 😢❤️

Miki- my favorite thing about pregnancy was the cute clothes (besides the babies at the end). It was hard!

Wish- hope u have a nice pampering weekend ahead of you! Will you test before NO? You are so gonna be nauseous soon too!!! Nauseous and fulfilled, with cute clothes :) and with a new job and everything.

Terri- I am so lane I haven't even planned anything for my bday. Can you plan mine too? My sister is getting married this weekend. We r gonna party tonight cause we have a babysitter for the first time in a while!!

Vonn- I'm sure you'll find the right balance of house vs saving money. You're always a thorough decision maker!! Yup, time for sexy comfortable shoes too 👟
 
Jesus, this is the second sibling this group has lost in a few months 😪😪😪
 
TTC--oh, goodness, that's a lot to deal with. Sorry to hear about the cp; ttc-ing is such a rollercoaster, even when you try to be chill about it. And what tragic news about your brother. I hope he is not in a lot of pain. I'm sure it's really hard to be so far from him.

Wish--can't wait to hear how the transfer went and how resting is going. Are you binge-watching something fun?

Rain--have fun on your night out & at your sister's wedding. How fun!
 
Enjoy your night out, Rain!! And congrats to your sister.

Taurus and I have our birthdays next Friday. I'm in NC hanging with my high school friends. It's been quite dramatic but we're headed home tomorrow.

Wish-hope you're still enjoying movies and a fire. This weekend has been chilly willy.
 
Terri--you've piqued our collective (okay, at least mine 😉) curiosity about hs friend drama! Did DH come with you? Let the birthday week commence. You, too, Taurus.

Happy Mother's Day to all the human and fur/animal baby moms out there. And to all those wanting that status.
 
Our friend is an alcoholic and moved to NC a few years ago. He's gay and thinks everyone is out to get him so no matter what happens he always thinks whatever happens is an affront to him. so he goes on and on about how he was wronged and can't get over it. Then, when we go out for drinks it's all she wrote. My bestie and him were in the street screaming at each other and he told us to leave his house and go home. We were fine with leaving last night except they have DUI checkpoints on the highway AND he wouldn't give us his house key so we could get our stuff and go home. My bestie apologized, we called his nephew to drive us home and we slept and got up at 5a and left. My bestie thought he wouldve grown up since he moved away from his drama filled friends but nothing has changed. I knew it was going to be a nightmare but she wanted to go see him so I took one for the team. This morning he was like, 'see you in June!' we just agreed and rolled out. We won't be seeing him when he comes to town. It's too much and we're too old for nonsense.

I'm glad I didn't have to go see my MIL though. Not sure which is worse. Ha ha.

Happy mother's day to all moms and dog moms.
 
ttc - I'm so sorry for what you are going through, I can't imagine. I, too, hope he's not in too much pain and that he is just filled with love from you and your family. Also - congrats? how's the line coming? I realize I'm a little late here... big hugs to you :hugs:

terri - oy, that IS a drama-filled weekend! Where in NC were you? Man, that boy has to grow up. Enough is enough.

miki - scan week? when is your next scan? I keep forgetting, i'm so sorry!

vonn - new house yet? :)

rain - ooooh, I hope you and DW enjoyed the night out partying!! What did you do? cute shoes, clothes, and nausea all sound great right about now. HAHA!

afm - successful transfer on Friday, albeit an hour and a half late, so my bladder wanted to pop right in the doc's face. And he insisted on walking us through EVER-Y-THING. I really wanted to give him the 'wrap it up' signal b/c I seriously had to go that badly. 'This isn't our first rodeo - I see the catheter - it's too grainy to see the marker - the screen for the sonograph is up over my right shoulder so I'm cranking to see it anyway - let's just go!'
The rest of the weekend was nice and relaxing - good food, fires in the fireplace, a great day with my kitty but followed by a bad night, movies/TV Shows (we finished Billions - anyone watch that?), grocery shopping (hadn't done full-on shopping in months) and that's it. Oh and one nap. HA!

I don't know if I'll test before NOLA or not - I would like to but if it's negative, I'll want to have drinks. But I'd think if it's negative by this Friday (which would be 13dpo), then it's a negative. OTD was supposed to be Monday but b/c we're traveling, it's next Wed.

I'm trying not to obsess again but we all know how successful I am at that. I'm doing ok for now though so no S4 updates. :)
 
Miki- so happy you had a great ultrasound and a nice, strong heartbeat!!!! Woohoo :). What are the next steps?

Wish- I'm crossing my fingers for you and your painful sneezes ;). How are you feeling?

Terri- Ugh, that is just a lot of drama. I tend to cut people too much slack when it comes to that stuff, but at some point you just give up.

TTC- I'm so sorry about your brother. How is your family coping? I hope you are getting some good or better line news.

Had our fetal echo today and it looked good. Even my anxious self was not particularly worried about the test however as they only did it because baby's position has made it difficult to visualize the heart. Otherwise, we are working on arranging for some larger home renovations (getting all floors upstairs redone, redoing basement, and fixing up garage).
 
Actually, it was a CP. line faded nothing and then af showed. Fortunately, having a LO smiling up at me the whole time made it much easier to cope with.

Wish - I'll be following closely!
 
Rain- I hope you had a fun weekend! Haha, it does seem like there isn’t that much to love about how hard pregnancy can be. I’m not sure if my hideous commute is adding to the difficulty, it can take me almost 1.5 hours to get home! I dread work nowadays because I find it so hard to function at work. I’m hoping that I’ll get used to things, and that it gets better!

Terri- Sorry your drama-loving friend tainted your night out. You’re wise to keep your distance from him right now. At least you’ve got your birthday fun to look forward to!

Wish- Yay, you’re PUPO! But what a nightmare, enduring an hour and a half extra wait with a full bladder for transfer! Anyway, I’m glad that you got some good rest and some nice times with your kitty. I’ll be watching to see when you test! And waiting to see if you provide more S4 updates :haha: Oh, my second scan is in one week, next Tuesday. I'm so worried!

MsR- Thanks, I’m just awaiting my second scan, and trying to stay sane! I’m so glad that your fetal echo looked good. I hope that your renovations are going well!

TTC- I'm sorry that it was a CP this time. Thank goodness for your LO! I hope you’re ok. I’m keeping you, your brother and your family in my thoughts :hugs:

AFM- Just hanging in there, trying to cope with the nausea, constipation/diarrhea and associated cramping, uterine cramping, dizziness, extreme exhaustion… It seems that I am experiencing everything at once, just that each symptom ebbs and flows in strength. It’s a struggle functioning at work. I’m useless lump on the couch at home. Thank goodness for DH, who does basically everything at home, including cooking (he's a great cook!).
 
Wish--ooooh! It hurt when you sneezed. Yes. So yes.

MsR--I'm glad to hear the fetal echocardiogram went well! Good luck with the renovations.

Miki--Sounds like first trimester. Unfortunately, it may last for first trimester. Good news is you will almost certainly feel better in second tri. Be safe driving, that's a long time on the road when you are exhausted.

Terri--that is nonsense drama. Ugh. I hate drama like that. What a good friend you are to go with your bestie even though you knew something like this might happen. She owes you one!

Rain--how was your sister's wedding?

TTC--hugs on the cp. :hugs:

Taurus--what plans do you have for your birthday?

Spud--how long until you go on your big trip to the UK?

AFM--I ordered a bunch of maternity clothes online. Very few places carry clothes for prego ladies in stores, so it's necessary to order & return online. Now I have to get to the medical supply store to buy my compression stockings. In talking to the insurance co about coverage, I did find out I can get an electric breast pump covered at 80% (they will cover a manual pump at 100%), so long as I get a prescription for it. I'm pretty "pumped" about that!
 
MrsR-glad the fetal echo was ok. The doctors always try to scare people so they can order one more test or one more thing. Hopefully you'll be in the clear the rest of your pregnancy.

Vonn-its no wonder all the stores are going out of business. They don't have much in stock. Its prom season and Nordstrom's didn't have any gowns in the juniors section and most of the gowns in the women's section were very 'mother of the bride.' I found one for the military ball that I'm going to on Saturday but I only had a selection of two. Plus, they didn't have many in my size (hence shopping in juniors). Glad you found some clothes.

Our friend in NC has been our friend since high school and we cut him so much slack. I was actually happy he moved so he could take his drama elsewhere but still-it was just too much.

I went to my doctor yesterday and he told me I could stop taking my blood pressure meds (I've been on them for >7 years). He noticed that I lost weight since my last visit (when I was prego), and I told him those shots made me fat and this is my normal weight. I'm happy to be off them but it's weird. He also wants to check my thyroid but I'm 99.9% sure everything is perfectly fine. Just another test. I'll have to go back in a few months but I need to buy a blood pressure cuff. Booo. #firstworldproblems

Have a great day. I'm having lunch with a friend today and it's going to be 90 degrees. Yeah! No more hats for my bald head. Booop boop.
 
TTC - I'm sorry for the cp :hugs:

miki - sounds like you're being put through the wringer. I'd HATE that commute on a regular day, let alone every day and while nauseous and/or exhausted! I hope it eases up for you soon. So excited for your next scan!

mrs - YAY for an excellent scan!! I keep reading it as 'fecal cardio..' nope. Just nope. I hope you get to ride out the rest of the pregnancy in peace as well! Enjoy that little bump!

taurus/terri - what are the solidified bday plans??

vonn - where did you end up buying from? shopping is fun no matter where it's done. Though I don't actually enjoy going to the mall anymore and trying stuff on, etc. I work up a sweat, my hair gets all disheveled - I'm good. Just can't always trust online sizing.

I'm still feeling fine - nothing crazy going on here. My lower back hurts today but my kitty sleeps on one of us all night so that can knock the hips outta whack. I'm assuming it's just that.
 
Happy Birthday Terri!!!! Can't wait to hear about the celebration(s)!

Vonn- also curious to know where you are shopping. I've found shopping online for maternity clothes to be a real pain, as I need to return lots of stuff that doesn't fit quite right. Shopping for outfits that I can wear on days with a strict business dress code has been another problem!

Wish- it hurt when I sneezed last night and I thought of you ;)
