Where is the energy I'm supposed to be getting back? I can't hardly keep my eyes open. I was just thinking this yesterday. Like at what point should I be concerned about being more tired than usual?

I just ate so much food at my work thanksgiving luncheon. So much. And we’re having a Friendsgiving on Saturday. Then 2 thanksgivings next week/end.

katietopaz, That's my heart melted all over the floor. I needed some sweet today. MrRama thought it would be a smart idea to tell me some bad news this morning, so today started off kinda sad and isn't getting better. It's not getting worse, per se, but I'm just kinda in a funk now.

Thanks everybody. I’m just glad my appointment was routine and i was able to move it to the new place without pushing it back at all. I feel really badly for the moms with serious/scary stuff going on. cornpop given your continued nausea I’m guessing you’re a little undernourished and that could explain a lot. I think it could still be worth mentioning to your OB though. Rama I’m sorry about the bad news.

katietopaz That is really sweet! Rama I'm sorry about the bad news. I hope your day gets better. I almost had a heart attack a little while ago when I saw the preschool number calling me. I was worried about what DD did that was so bad that they had to call me. Luckily it was just her being her normal clumsy self. She managed to bite her lip while playing and it was bleeding a little.

Thanks, all. I'm a really empathetic person (too much for my own good, if I'm honest) and it was just a really shit thing that happened to MrRama's temp. Let's just say for sake of brevity that it boils down to fighting for a visa.
It's set my anxiety level high today, which is kinda bleeding into my work, so I'm hoping after a lunch nap I can get my head straightened back out.

At what point are you not supposed to fly anymore? I may have to go to Boston in January (UGGGGGGGGGH) and I'll be 30w by then. I really, really do not want to go.

i felt like i had more energy for like 2 weeks then it just dropped off. at my last appt i had my ob do a cbc and thyroid check, but basically it just comes down to being pregnant with a toddler. my ob was like, yea it sucks. thanks.
eta: i'm definitely not trying to say it's nothing if anyone is feeling extra run down! i would just ask to do some bloodwork next appt - it never hurts to ask!

I'm sorry, situations like that are so hard even without the current political and social climate. And being highly empathetic is a mixed blessing - I empathize (heh). I hope lunch is a good chance to reset and shake it off a little, I hate when stuff like that bleeds over into the whole day.

I think I’ll reach that point in pregnancy when it isn’t physically possible to do up my sandals very soon.
Contortionist moves here this morning to get them in and I’m only 22 weeks.

Last time my doc told me not to go anywhere after 32w, but if I didn't want to go in the first place? Whatever # of weeks I am at that moment in time.

Thanks all. It went good. I kind of blurted it out as soon as I sat down so that was a bit awkward. But he took it really well. I've shared before that my boss is my uncle which makes the dynamic a bit weird. But he's happy for us and I told him about the other stuff going on since I'll be out for a while tomorrow. I feel so relieved now.

And I didn't cry! Which was a miracle. I'm not usually a crier but I haven't been able to hold it together since yesterday. My eyes are so heavy and I'm very much looking forward to bedtime.

MY DAY TURNED AROUND!!!
All my Christmas shopping is done, my work to do list is maneagable, AND a photographer I really like just offered half off newborn photos. $250 and all your images included is totally unheard of in my area. I know it shouldn’t make a difference but dropping (what i consider to be) $$$ on this LO has made it much more real all of the sudden. Planning is scary but trusting and thinking ahead to having a real newborn feels so much better.

You are amazing! I’d be a total mess. I’m glad he took it well and you felt comfortable to fill him in in everything.

I am irate because I asked my husband to bring home pizza and he didn't order one. I'm trying to not go psycho pregnant lady on him but I am feeling psycho right now. Deep breaths. It has been a day. My child has been a monster since Story Hour. She refused to nap and I am dying here in tired toddler hell.

Apparently the pizza was my fault somehow and he just ordered t and now he is going to be even later. I NEED TO BE FED. I'm not even in the realm of rational right now.

He's not usually so perceptive so I was actually really surprised. He knows there isn’t a jury in the world that would side with him to vet a hungry pregnant woman. I hope you get your pizza.

Pizza acquired. I feel much less like Murder. Probably will have ice cream after the kid goes to bed too. It's been a day.
