Tlex You are the light at the end of the tunnel. Tomorrow I'm going to Aldi so I can find some cheap frozen things to heat up for dinner. Because that's about the amount of effort I can do right now. That is exactly how we survived, supplemented with lots of take out/weird snack compilations for dinner. MH has a motto for these times: survive now, thrive later.

This was actually just what I needed to read today. As I'm trying to choke down metamucil because I'm so stopped up and feel miserable on top of nauseous all the time and the dog is trying to sit INSIDE OF ME I swear and everyone in my house is talking at once and the tv is on and all I want is to be alone in silence 😂 It gives me hope to be reminded that (hopefully) in just a few weeks a little bit of that will be relieved 🙏 I reached a point where I was fantasizing about giving our dog back to the breeder because I couldn’t stand her touching me/panting near me! Now I’m like omg lol. But it was actual hell at the time to have her be so needy right after I’d finally get my needy kids to bed! I have been super backed up too and it’s causing all kinds of issues. Do you shop at Costco? They have these things called Aussie Bites in the bakery section that are kind of magical and I’ve prescribed myself 2 a day. I do not but I'm sure I could find something similar... anything to help! And man I love this dog but he is on top of me 24/7 (because yes, he sleeps in bed with us 😣) and I just need him to love me from like... at least 6 inches away!! Haha

We don’t have him anymore but during my last pregnancy he was all over me. Followed me everywhere too. Like he was my protector.

My daughter woke me up at 4:30 AM because she "needed another stuffy." I couldn't fall back asleep because I was thinking about twin stuff. Am I ever going to sleep again?
If you need me, I'll be sleeping at my desk. 😴😴😴

My nightmares have been out of hand. Wild vivid dreams every night, but almost all are nightmares. It's making sleep rough.

My sleep has been terrible too. Lately I've been having bad dreams about my appt tomorrow, which makes me struggle to fall back asleep. But last night around midnight I heard a loud noise that I think was a transformer blowing but I was convinced for a while that it was a gunshot and we were going to die. Then I woke up at 2am with insane gas pains that took me 1.5 hours to get over and fall back asleep. I'm dragging today 😴

Yes, I am also having weird dreams that make it hard to get back to sleep and my son has been waking up in the middle of the night too not really sure why. In 2.5 years I will be sleeping again. *Hopefully*

+ whatever to not sleeping well. I hope we can all get some sleep soon!
Are anyone else’s boobs not getting bigger? I feel like an anomaly. I’m 8+2 today, and my boobs *might* be slightly bigger from before I was pregnant. I thought they would be huge by now?!?

Mine have gotten huge this time but I don't remember it until much later with my daughter. Like, 3rd tri. I'm already going to have to dig out my old maternity/nursing bras.

orangehibiscus My Boobs will never be huge pregnant. Mine have grown a little so far, they are back to the "still part-time breastfeeding a toddler size" from their post breastfeeding look. With my first pregnancy I only got one size up bra-wise and I wore that size the last half of pregnancy. Nothing compares to the first few day/weeks after birth when your milk comes in that's a huge size change.

Thank you for making me feel better pambee and @jewelofthenile. I’ve never been this pregnant before, so I’m not completely sure what to expect.

+1 to awful dreams orangehibiscus I’m another who doesn’t see much boob change until late third tri/after delivery. They have a heaviness that I don’t otherwise have but I don’t need to change bras or anything.

Another on the bad sleep train. Sorry for everyone dealing with it Some of it has been anxiety but some has just been getting up to pee and then struggling to get back to sleep.
My boob are normally huge. Prechildren I was a 32G. I went up a bandand cup size or two with DD as my body and ribs expanded my cup size as the pregnancy progressed. While breastfeeding they were crazy at first but faded some as she got older. I BF for 2.5 years and dropped feedings gradually so I never really noticed a difference post BF. Right now they are sore but still fit my bras fine.

+1 to not a huge change in boob size during pregnancy. With my daughter, the biggest change was like 4 days after delivery when my milk came in. That was some serious basketball situation.

Grr I have this awful knot in my back that only hurts when I'm laying down and it doesn't matter what position I'm in. I can't find my corn pillow so I got my heating pad out and put it on low for 5 minutes or so to hopefully ease it a bit and let me fall asleep. 😴 I'm feeling very paranoid about using the heating pad but Dr Google tells me it's okay in moderation on a low setting...

Can you have your H rub it out for you tonight? Back/neck pain is so awful:(

My boobs feel fuller and heavier but haven't noticeably gotten much bigger. I'm anticipating that they will later on. With DD I went up almost 2 cup sizes and only went back down 1 after I stopped breastfeeding.

Can you have your H rub it out for you tonight? Back/neck pain is so awful:( I'll see, he was already asleep last night. It was weird. I was up most of the night because of the pain and then around 2am had a little fever so I finally took some Tylenol and got to fall asleep sometime after 3. I'm going to bring it up to my OB today because it seems like it's more than just a knot, but nothing else really makes sense because it's isolated to nighttime. I dunno. At least it distracted me from stressing about my appt today all night? Lol

So last night, I had a sex dream about Owen from Grey’s Anatomy and a fashion blogger I follow on Instagram. Weeeeeiiiirrrrd! I haven’t even seen Grey’s in months. (Nor do I find the actor that plays Owen particularly attractive.) WTF, brain?!?!

I got about 2 hours of sleep last night and I’m a hot mess today. Luckily H doesn’t work until noon so he’s taken the girls swimming and I’m going to rest/if I’m lucky get a nap. I’ve never been good at napping.
I think last night was the perfect storm of a noisy husband, restless dog, huge hormonal swing, and HUNGER. I had to get up twice to eat more protein. My stomach was eating itself.
But after all that whining I have one happy thing: I’m officially 2nd tri according to the FF app! 🎉

Please tell us things are better on the other side Tlex. Because I'm so tired of feeling miserable. Not perfect of course but so, so much better. You can do anything in life if you can do it without nausea. Fuck nausea. 11 weeks was a real turning point. Im wishing the same for all of you! ETA and bonecrushing exhaustion how did I forget that. That’s gone. Now I’m just tired-tired.

I haven’t really checked in for like two weeks. Sorry guys! I’ve just been tired and cranky and avoiding the world.
I have my first tri ultrasound on Tuesday and I’m nervous for it. I haven’t heard a heartbeat yet bc my appt was so early so of course I’m going through all the “what if’s”
