@amc ha, so true. Vindicating but bittersweet to be right! Goodbye pizza and bagels for the next 6 months... Foxy don't feel guilty or ashamed. ❤️ Pregnancy, especially the unknown, is a mess of emotions! Be kind to yourself. And you will be able to have those nights again!

Foxy don’t feel bad. This is our first baby and we are so happy but also it’s scary to think of how different our lives will be. We are so used to just us and doing whatever we like when we feel like doing it. No more sleeping in or going to the movies on a whim. It’s a lot to adjust to! I’m 15w and 1d today. I keep poking him hoping to feel something but nothing yet. I know it’s very early to feel him but I’m so excited for him to poke back!

Foxy your feelings are valid, becoming a parent for the first time is scary! Your life changes, it’s for the better- but despite everyone telling you that, You don’t feel it until you get kicked in the face with the most overwhelming feeling of love. Or at least that was my experience I’m really pumped for #2, but anxious for how it will change our lives. DD seems on board and excited, but she’s 3... wait for the wind to blow and that could change. DH is having a harder time, he’s less connected this pregnancy and he has a lot of guilt about turning our daughter’s world upside down. I know what will change, but I find my self struggling to have patience with him sometimes

Thank you ladies 💕 I watched a video of how to use a moby wrap with a little baby wrapped up and thought... ok I can do this. There will be lots of snuggly moments like that too enjoy too.

My attitude sucks this week. I'm having trouble keeping my bitchy thoughts to myself. Totally blaming baby.

My attitude sucks this week. I'm having trouble keeping my bitchy thoughts to myself. Totally blaming baby. Sending solidarity vibes. Went to go move our car yesterday, and on the way back up our Brooklyn side street, saw a construction truck (moving v cautiously, as the street is narrow, with its flashers on) get relentlessly honked at by a Range Rover who thought our street was a damn speedway. (He even tried driving up over the sidewalk -- where I was -- to pass him and then just laid on the horn). (I may have gone up to his window and shouted at him something along the lines of "HEYYY! THIS IS NOT A SPEEDWAY. THERE ARE CHILDREN ON THIS STREET. GET OFF YOUR HORN. BE RESPECTFUL. AND NOW, YOU WAIT!" (with a few other choice words in there ...) (Guy had it coming, but well, it was a special moment for the neighbors, let's just put it that way ) Hang in there!

Sounds like I am in the right place.
I had a really hard day with DD1 and DD2 yesterday and I am feeling in over my head. I want this baby so badly and after all the loss and 2 years of TTC I feel conflicted about this feeling of no longer being able to manage my life.
I am really frustrated with myself. I can't keep up with the girls and the housework and my job. I used to be such a good mom and now all I want to do is sleep.

@amc, I also relate. I am totally in over my head with trying to do this career while also being the primary parent to two little ones. How am I going to do it with three? I'm so fed up with work but I also don't know what else I would do. I think I would suck at staying home. So basically I'm just in my office every day trying to get through the day and having a shit attitude. Then I go home and get like an hour with my kids, and the whole time I'm just so exhausted and wonder if I'm rushing bedtime too much.

In other news, I have gotten enormous this week. Non-maternity clothes are no longer an option at all.

dashook I am actually looking forward to that point. I’m still not out at work so I’m wearing non-maternity tops and looking... lumpy. I can’t wait to have an obvious bump.

I have the worst "give no fucks" attitude at work and it's leaking into my house in regards to housework. I'd feel less guilty about the housework but H barely does anything because he's usually physically and emotionally drained at the end of the day from work. I need a more rewarding job, for sure. I know at this point I'd probably still bitch because I'm just exhausted but at least I'd be mildly motivated to be there.

+whatever to a not so great week. It has been an insane week at the hospital and I'm so over work right now. I'm not out at work so I have to act like I feel okay when I don't. I'm tired and grumpy and short with the kids. I just want to sleep. DD turned 3 today and feel like I didn't do much. She had a great day and is easy to please but still I feel like I'm failing at everything right now. I'm back to throwing up multiple times a day and the heat/ humidity make it so much worse. I'm trying so hard to enjoy this oregnancu but I'm miserable right now.

@amc thanks for the reminder! Just ordered ours. So excited, lately ask the Amazon boxes are just tech stuff for DHs work. Boring! We also got the thermometer off our list because it was $11 off! The pack and play we chose is also on a big sale but couldn't bring myself to buy something so big yet... Feels too early!

@amc I’m always down for free stuff. I’ll have to add this to my to do list as well!
Ugh I’m feeling so shitty today after not being able to sleep well due to this cold. As if being pregnant isn’t tough enough, adding a cold to the mix really sucks. Thankfully, MH got up with DD and let me sleep in this morning. Woke up to the house looking like a tornado hit but I guess I can’t have it all 🤷🏼♀️ Have any of you with colds recently take medicine or just stick it out? Drowning it with tea doesn’t seem to be helping but I don’t remember taking anything when I was KU with DD.

cch I’ve had a cold since last weekend. It super sucks when pregnant. I took regular old Tylenol to help with my headache but that was it. I just stuck it out. I’m still blowing my nose and my ears are popping but it’s getting better. I hope you feel better! I feel your pain!

I'm so sorry to all with the colds. Just being pg brings cold like symptoms so I can't imagine being sick on top of that!

Visited with friends who have two young daughters yesterday. She brought me a huge pile of her maternity clothes, more than even the regular clothes I own. I'm six inches taller than her and differently sized but at least 8-12 nice tops, tees and tanks fit. I'm excited, it will be like shopping in my closet every day!

strawberrykiki Thanks lady. I try not to take Tylenol unless I really need it but I probably will today because no matter the amount of water/hot tea I drink, this headache isn’t budging. Hope you’re feeling better soon!!

I got a Z pack and used Xclear nasal spray and it kicked it.

cch, When I had all that congestion, the nurse told me to take the Tylenol Cold and Sinus. It helped make me feel more human.

When I called yesterday they OK’ed Zyrtec/Claritin as long as it doesn’t have the decongestant in it. She also said Afrin was okay as long as it’s not used more than 3 days so I used it twice yesterday and feel a lot better! Being able to breathe really makes a difference haha

Add me to those congested and miserable. I hope this cold is over soon. My DD had it for two days, but H and I have been sick for a week already.
