Seemed like it was time for a new thread...
I'm working today and bored out of my mind. I took Thurs/Fri off because both kids are on break this week, but I have to get through today and tomorrow. Kids are with my mom today.
What is everyone up to today?

I had to get my blood drawn for my thyroid levels and people have such a hard time with my veins. I finally found a guy who was able to draw blood from my arm in one try and my blood came out in seconds. I’m so happy! I know this crazy, but my veins are a pain in the butt for most people.

Definitely not crazy. My mom is the same way. And she is limited to using only one arm because of lymph nodes removed from the left side. I cringed when she in the hospital for some heart issues. Her poor arm was all bruised.

Glad you found someone who could do it in one try! I usually have no problem with getting blood drawn. I have "good" veins in my arm. When I got blood drawn last week it fucking HURT. Idk what she did, but it was bad. My hands started sweating and I wanted to cry. I didn't say anything though. I'm too non- confrontational.

Getting my blood drawn usually doesn’t hurt except once when the nurse blew my vein.....that was not good.

I'm just trucking along. More spotting fun the last few days. I called and talked to the nurse. She told me to just keep an eye on it and call back if I started cramping or it went back to being red. I'm going to up my water intake and take it fairly easy the next two weeks. I'm kinda prepared for either outcome at my appointment on the 11th.

My OB said similarly to just wait and see...I have an appointment on Friday that I'm now even more anxious about. Hope you have an uneventful couple weeks!

I hope the spotting stops for all y'all. I've had spotting with my last 3 pregnancies and it's always scary. My t&ps are with y'all that it's nothing!

I almost cried the first time the tech found my vein in one shot. It neverrrr happens. I eventually just tell everyone to go through my hand, since no one can find the veins in my arm, and they're all like are you sure? That's going to hurt. And I'm like yeah, not as much as you rolling the needle in my arm 53280592 times will.

I have been craving soda like crazy the past few days. Which is odd, because I hate carbonation and haven't had a soda in over 3 years, at least. So I went to World Market and the asian grocery and stocked up on ginger beer and Japanese sodas and now i'm happy. Confused, because I'm still not fond of carbonation, but happy. Pregnancy is so weird.

Pregnancy is so weird. I will never forget about 5 years ago my boss was pregnant and my boss HATED milk but was drinking a gallon every couple days. I got immense joy out her disgust/love for it lol.

My husband thinks it's hilarious.

I had my blood drawn for my betas a couple of weeks ago and one of the nurses was horrible. She kept sticking my arm because she couldn't find the vein and I almost passed out. I legit started sweating and getting lightheaded to the point I had to lie down. I've never had issues with getting my blood drawn and have had it done countless times without any issues. She asked me if this had happened before and I told her no, it has not. I felt bad but geez she was not good at it.

Back at work today and the rest of the week. It was a crazy 5 days of travelling around to the relatives and my kids got so much stuff. I reorganized the toys in the house...putting some that are never played with in storage. I am sure when all the new toys are out of the boxes and played with it won't make much difference mess wise. I felt good about it though and my kids slept well in their own beds last night so that was a welcome change.

I ordered and ate a salad for lunch! I'm very proud of myself - that has not been within my abilities over the last few weeks.

I got up and poured a bowl of cereal and made a cup of coffee. Went to get the milk out of the fridge and there was basically none left. 😠MH and I are going to have a talk later.

When my MIL was here watching DD, she would leave just a little bit. She said she didn't want to finish it. I'd rather her finish it and tell me then me not have enough when I need it for making dinner

Adding to the weird shit I hate but apparently crave now- mustard. I've never liked it. Tonight, I cooked brats specifically so I could have mustard, because the idea of eating a spoonful of mustard makes me sick, but spreading said spoonful times 5 on a brat is heaven at the moment. Tomorrow, I might feel differently.

I've been really happy with my cravings lately... salad, bananas, and apples are the big ones (and cheeseburgers but they're not healthy like the others lol).

I'm in the middle of a 24hr pee collection, not fun. I've had 3rd tri high blood pressure both previous pregnancies, so they decided to get a baseline measure this go around. My body is too old for pregnancy, I wish I could just fast forward to newborn baby time!
So much pee....can't wait to have to collect the numerous times I get up in the middle of the night.
