What's new?
who else is freezing their asses off?
DH and i managed to unclog our dishwasher yesterday, thereby saving some $$$, and i made chicken tikka masala (why had i never made it at home before??), so i call new year's day a win.

I’m at work. It’s so slow though. It won’t pick back up until next week I think. While Zofran has made me feel mostly better, I still have an aversion to food.
I do want this salad that they make at a place called fired pie, but it’s like the Subway for pizza, so they leave the chicken out. I’m sure it’d be okay, but it’s on the higher risk for food borne illness list. I should just get the ingredients and make my own salad.

It’s finally a bit warmer outside. Though probably still freezing by some of your standards. We were under an extreme cold warning for a bit over a week so it’s nice to be able to go outside now.
I haven’t cooked in 2 weeks, unless you count baking a frozen pizza. I need these aversions to relax a bit, we can’t keep eating out.

I hate the cold!! We live in the south so I am so not used to these kinds of temps!
Had my first appointment today! Doctor did an u/s to confirm everything! Got a picture and got to hear the heartbeat! Baby is measuring 6w5d, so that is more in line with what I figured based on tracking my cycles. My due date is now August 23. Everything feels a lot more real now!

I just told my boss the big news, I'm glad that's over. He was supportive and kind as always, I'm very fortunate. He isn't a gossipy person so I don't think the whole office will know until I bring it up, so that's good.

I'm anxiously waiting my first appointment on 1/11. I'm feeling paranoid and just want to know everything is ok.

I haven't had any reason to be paranoid so far other than it's super early on (I'll be 7 weeks on Thur), but for some reason I'm still feeling guarded like this is too good to be true. After a year of trying and my history, it feels difficult to breathe easy about this.

It is cold here today. We had a pipe burst at work. I was there helping to clean up for a while, but then came home around doing 11. It's so weird"( and nice) having DD in school and H at work!

Hoping the time goes quickly cara! I feel you on feeling uneasy/paranoid! I felt like I could finally exhale a little after my appointment today and enjoy the moment. I still feel a little guarded about it all, but am finally letting some excitement in! I hope you get the same reassurance when you have your appointment!

This weather has been brutal! I've been running my furnace along with my pellet stove downstairs. Normally my stove warms up the lower level but not when it's this cold. We've been cooped up in this house for days so I took DS to a toddler play gym today. He had so much fun, and got out some much needed energy.

The spotting has just made me so...cynical. I'm not expecting bad news, but I would not be shocked if I got it. I can be so pessimistic sometimes.

I told my first (and hopefully only) pregnancy lie today. My bestie called me and was mentioning that her period started on Christmas and asked me if mine had started and I said yes. 😳 They are trying also and we have been talking about it for awhile. I hope she's not mad that I lied when I tell her in a couple weeks. I just can't bring myself to tell anyone before next week's appointment.

After a year of trying and my history, it feels difficult to breathe easy about this. I get this. I'm sorry, I don't fully remember your history, but it took us a year and a miscarriage to get this pregnancy. I feel like I started feeling more positive once I was able to hear the HB on my doppler. I still have doubts/worries/anxiety about the what ifs but hearing my little baby every night has really helped. Do you have a Doppler? You're still a bit early but in another week or 2 you may be able to pick up the HB. I recommend anyone and everyone get a Doppler if they're a worrier. Big hugs!

I think it's your minds way of protecting yourself. I hope you get some peace of mind at your appointment. Spotting is such a mind fuck even if it often is normal.

I lied to my stepmom. We don't get along and she is such a gossip... she asked at 5 weeks and I just automatically said no.

It's so cold here. I went grocery shopping earlier and thought I was going to turn into an ice cube while loading groceries into the car. Luckily MH was home so I didn't have to take my kids.
I made a big mistake and didn't eat before shopping, so I was starving by the time I got home which led to nausea that won't go away. 😣ðŸ˜

notmoose - I’ve had 3 CP’s so it all happened very early on. This is the farthest I’ve made it since we started TFAS. I actually do have a doppler but figured it was too early to try and find a HB. Also, I figured if I couldn’t find it, I didn’t want to freak myself out. Thanks for the suggestion!

If I let myself go too long without eating, I feel like crap. It’s like a whole other level of hunger. I hope the nausea goes away soon!

I know some ladies have found it around 8 weeks so that should be perfect timing. I plan to order one next Thursday after my appointment.

I don't want anyone else finding out before I'm ready to tell them, and she sucks at keeping secrets.

Also, I figured if I couldn’t find it, I didn’t want to freak myself out. Thanks for the suggestion! I'd definitely wait at least another week. You're 7 weeks? I found DS and this one at 8w 3d. But I did have to search for a few minutes and it was hard to keep the baby's HB on the Doppler because my HB kept trying to take over. I'm sorry for your losses. I wish you peace of mind and that you have a good appointment!

But since i didnt take the kids i didn't have the diaper bag with all my snacks!

Like, you want to tell her because she's your bff but you don't want the world to know yet? I hope she's understanding when you do tell her!
