Tonight was the first event of graduation weekend! I really enjoyed myself even though I’m up way past my bedtime. We have tons of family in town (some here today, the rest coming tomorrow), so I basically haven’t seen my 4yo since I picked her up from school because she’s surrounded by grandmas. 🤷🏻♀️
I am also very glad I took tomorrow off. Excellent planning, past me.

Sorry about the unrelenting nausea summerrain and librariangirl. That sounds miserable and absolutely debilitating. Why can’t you get Zofran? My OB office doesn’t like prescribing it before 12wks because there is mixed research on it being safe. Some research points to using it and having a higher level of heart defects and cleft palate issues, others say there’s no link. I JUST WANT MY ZOFRAN SO IM NOT PUKING SO MUCH!!!

Why am I so hungry?!
I had a bowl of Cheerios before work. I had oatmeal when I got to work. I then snacked on a bag of Cheese-its. It’s not even noon and I literally want to eat my arm. My colleagues are turning into cartoon hotdogs and hamburgers.
Heeeeeeelp 😩

I kept down nothing yesterday and my H may have found me crying on the bathroom floor last night. I just want to eat and not get sick!

I'm also super hungry today - I had a horrible cold all week that killed my appetite, and now I'm finally feeling better. I had a mini bagel for breakfast, then some fruit, and then some cold leftover pizza for second breakfast. And was still starving at lunch. I guess my body is making up for lost time?

I have been eating my lunch at like 10:15am. So then naturally I have to have a second lunch around 1:30 🤦🏻♀️.

I was so hungry this morning that I ordered French toast with whipped cream and strawberries with a side of sausage, as my 2nd breakfast.

If you haven’t done it yet make a baby registry on amazon. You get an awesome box of free goodies. You just do check list and then buy one thing for $10. Look what I got!!

Babylist also has a box, you create a registry and add things from certain categories and then when boxes open up, they send you one.

I am really resisting buying maternity clothes for some reason. I’m not sure if it’s cause I’m scared to jinx this pregnancy or what, but I really need to just press purchase because none of my current leggings or tops are comfortable anymore.
Also, I would love if this bleeding would end. It is such a mindfuck.
On the bright side, we just got some new couches delivered and although they are a tad large for the space they are basically beds so now I have somewhere else to nap!

I am so, so sorry for the ladies debilitated by nausea. It's so awful. Thinking of you and hoping you get some relief soon.

Im sure I’ll need maternity pants sooner than shirts, but I am resisting. I had a hard time finding maternity jeans that were flattering last time.

charlotte I’m sure part of it is that maternity clothes are so unflattering on me. That doesn’t make me want to spend money on something. And you are right, a good pair of maternity jeans has alluded me in the past so I don’t even know where to begin with that.

A friend’s cousin gave her a bunch of maternity clothes and then gave me what she didn’t want or didn’t fit. So many clothes! Plus what I had from DD.
What are your thoughts on a shower for #2? I’m leaning toward a sprinkle. I hate not celebrating just because this kid came second. It makes me sad that it’s so taboo. I remember people getting murdered on TB for it.

I don’t have a problem with it in general, but I don’t really enjoy being the center of attention so I’d be fine if we skip it! I’m happy to celebrate all the babies though 😊

Around here, sprinkles turn into full blown Pinterest-perfect over the top showers. I'm planning on skipping it. However, I am open to some kind of psuedo-celebratory girls' outing with my closest girlfriends.

I’m an anti 2nd shower person. “Showers” are meant to welcome moms into motherhood and shower them with gifts that are needed. If having a 2nd within a certain time window it comes across as “gift grabby”. I think having a sip and see after baby is born is a great way to celebrate the baby instead of it seeming like gifts are being requested. Even a sprinkle to me is a fun idea, still celebrating but not setting expectation for gifts.
Not going to judge anything someone else does though, everyone should do what makes them happy.

I’ve been considering splurging on a pair of Khloe K’s maternity jeans 😬

I doubt we’ll do a shower, although we have nothing left from baby #1 because we were so sure we were OAD. Like...we gave away the crib (not that our kid used it anyway). I’m accepting hand-me-downs from friends and looking for good quality used things this time around.

I have nothing against second showers or sprinkles. My only pet peeve is when people throw them for themselves, or force others to do it.

I was going to ask y’all about this. The boxes keep saying out of stock. If I buy $10 off my registry I’ll still get it? Did you have to do anything special? Edit. I already did the category thing.

I hope having a shower for this baby won’t seem gift grabby.
We got a lot of hand me down stuff for DS that has been passed down so much we can’t use it again. Plus we had to downsize to move across the country.
We have a lot of family here that missed out on #1 so I’m sure they probably want to throw a shower. I’m not a fan of being the center of attention, but I think it would be special.
I feel kind of guilty, but honestly I’ll take it. We need things.

I am pretty sure we won't have any shower/sprinkles. Even though we were OAD for a while, I never got around to cleaning out my basement except for giving some stuff to my sister, and giving some clothes away. My sister's kid will outgrow the few things she has in time for us to get them back, and clothes I'm sure grandmas will take care of, and it's different seasons anyway, since DS was born in June. I think second showers/sprinkles are very situational though - in some cases, totally makes sense, in ours, it doesn't.
