I don't think that's crazy at all blurnette989. Still young enough that you won't need to bring too much in form of activities. It's before everyone starts getting sick for the winter. Seems easier to travel at 2 months old than it would be to travel with DS now at 17 months!

My other two are 2 and 4 and have nothing done at least 3 transatlantic round-trips each. It is work!

The salad I'm having for lunch is so simple but it's so yummy!! Lettuce, cucumber, dried cranberries, gorgonzola cheese (thank you pasteurized cheeses!), and sliced almonds with a champagne vinaigrette. It's supposed to have tomato and onion too, but yuck. I could eat this every day.

I could eat this every day. I just saw a recipe for roasted beet and arugula salad with goat cheese and candied pecans and I really need to make it. Only MH hates beets, so I'll have to wait for a night when he's not home. Or just make it and bring it to work for lunch. Now I want to go buy some beets...

I never order a salad because I feel like I need a healthy meal, I order them because they're chock full of goodies and are so yummy.

I can't even think about eating any veggies right now. My nausea has gotten so much worse in the past few weeks. I pretty much eat a select few things at this point

I pretty much eat a select few things at this point +1 yesterday I did eat some grapes and an avocado, but it's been weeks since I've stomached a fruit or veg that wasn't a form of a potato.

I'm normally a lover of veggies too and it's been hard to want to eat them. I will say that Birdseye makes an a pretty good lentil/zucchini pasta that I've been able to stomach. Cheddar, alfredo and marinara. Plus I know lentils are great during pregnancy! Oh and bonus points to give to toddlers because they have no clue!

Holy shit I'm tired today. No idea why it's so bad this morning. It's nice out too so it's not like this is cloudy weather tiredness.

blurnette989 grapes have been my friend too. And I'm telling myself potatoes can be considered veggies since I eat them pretty much with every meal... It will get better right?!

I've seen it in one of my local grocery stores.

Just booked a dating scan for the 14th!! Finally, some type of appointment on the books.
I also just devoured some pierogies that hit the spot! 👌

I'm also so tired, thanks to my toddler who woke up at 2 and was awake until 4 😭
In good news, I have a date for my cerclage placement, March 14th. I'll be 14w 2d.

With a cerclage, will you have to go on bed rest at some point? I shouldn't have to. I have to take things easy, and can't lift anything more than 5-10lbs (and really should stay closer to 5) but that's about it. Last time, I also had to take off work a few months early, but I was working in a different department and full time hours then. With baby due in September, it works perfect with summer break).

*Possible trigger warning*
I had another bleeding dream last night. Ugh! I hate how this PGAL brain takes over at times. I'm sure it's because it's my "loss week". But the subtle anxiety it leaves with each trip to the bathroom, sucks. I'm not sure if I'm wanting encouragement or to know I'm not alone. I really just need to get these thoughts out of my head and typed out I think. Just 12 more days until I can see if all is ok. I can make it.

Big hugs pixiepink24. I'm sorry for the bad dream. It makes sense to me that this week would be tougher on you, even if it's subconsciously. I hope these next 12 days go by quickly for you and that this was the last of the bad dreams.

I’m sorry about your dream pixiepink24 . I can relate to your anxiety going to the bathroom too. I’m a tiny bit past my loss milestones and still freak out a bit every time I wipe.

Thanks ladies! Your kind words are encouraging. I was able to keep my mind off for a bit by going to the zoo with the girls.
And I finally got the call that I was approved to start my care at the birthing center!!!!!! I'm sooooo excited! What a great way to turn my day around.

pixiepink24 I’m sorry you had a bad dream. I’m glad you heard back from the birth center with good news. Hope the next 12 days go quickly for you. I’m so glad it’s the weekend and that I get a break from solo parenting. Being pregnant with a toddler is next level exhausting. Looking forward to that second tri energy bump already. Any fun plans this weekend? DD has make up gymnastics and thinking about a zoo trip.

Had a good ultrasound today! Baby is healthy and wiggly, tech said 75% she thinks it's a girl.

Thanks koritto! Girl, I know how you feel. I pretty much solo parent 75% of the time with my 2.5 year old and I have a 3.5 year old and 4 month old during the week days. I'm basically the definition of a Mombie these days. 😵 It will be nice for it to just be me and DD this weekend. I think I'm going to drive up to the mountains to this amazing garden that has like 20 million daffodils and take some spring pictures of her. Yay for great ultrasounds and baby girl blurnette989

blurnette989 woohoo! Congrats on a great ultrasound! How far are you again? I think it’s so cool they could already guess the gender.
