Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?:

GTKY: If someone gave you $1000 with only the rule that it HAS to be spent on you, and you alone, what would you buy?

[vvvvvfee]

When is your due date? How far along are you?: 7/17, 22 weeks/6 days

Any Upcoming Appointments?: 24 week appt at the end of the month

Symptoms: Pelvic/back pain

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: Soooooo sick of winter. We're supposed to get another storm this week. I just want it to be warmer! I would love to be able to take the kids for walks on the weekend to get us all some exercise.

GTKY: If someone gave you $1000 with only the rule that it HAS to be spent on you, and you alone, what would you buy? Clothes/shoes are always nice- that would be a big chunk of it, probably in the form of TJ Maxx/Marshall's gift cards. I'd also set some aside for eating lunch out at work during the week. Maybe I'd also splurge on a haircut. I'd say hire a house cleaner but that benefits DH, too.

[potatocakes]

Milestones: Halfway! Also, successful/good news AS last week, and in maternity/stretchy pants full time now

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I feel so much more pregnant at the halfway point this time (I think). I have not had any of that 2nd tri "magic" and would be happy to just move forward to the end. I also don't feel very connected to this baby, yet.

GTKY: If someone gave you $1000 with only the rule that it HAS to be spent on you, and you alone, what would you buy? Haircut, regular massages until baby comes, dinner or lunch out once/week, and the imaginary service where someone shaves my legs for me a couple times each week.

I mean, yes, pregnant me needs help with that, but not-pregnant me doesn't shave much, either. It's a lot of work and cold in my bathroom.

I tried the OTC version but didn't find it helped much. I haven't tried diclegis as I haven't been vomiting (but really I haven't vomited in decades so I'm just not a barfer) and my Dr seemed to use that as a marker for whether or not she prescribes it. I keep hoping it will go away. At first I felt shitty 100% of days and now it's down to 66% of days so I guess that's better! Glass half full and all that.
