Oh no pambee! Try aloe vera juice. That can help with mouth sores. I hope they go away soon!

Does anyone have pregnancy headache tips? I’m leaning hard on the caffeine + Tylenol combo but I really can’t consume caffeine after noon or it messes with my sleep. I’m trying to increase my water intake but man, these headaches suck.

I’m trying to increase my water intake but man, these headaches suck. I literally just texted my OB coworker because I’ve been miserable for the past 3 days and she said excedrin was ok to take. I’ve been doing cold wash clothes on the back of my neck too and that helps significantly.

More fun symptoms! Canker sores all over the inside of my mouth today. Never had these before and it's just SUPER FUN. Tried a saltwater rinse and almost threw up after 8 seconds. Greaaat. I can’t do the rinses so a couple times a day I soak a q-tip in water and roll it in salt and hold it directly over the sore. Hurts like crazy for a few seconds and then it numbs it. And it makes them go away much faster.

I know, I asked because I didn’t have plain Tylenol in the house and my H forgot to pick it up from the store. So I texted her as a last resort figuring she would tell me no, and she said it was ok! I definitely teared up a little. I’ve been so miserable. I think the weather fluctuating so much is making things much worse. I’ve woken up with a headache everyday this week. Hope you get some relief! And I only took a half dose, because you’re allowed to take 2 tablets at once. So I just took one so I didn’t get more aspirin.

I always have to give myself a pep talk too, and then I end up glad I did it because it actually stays numb for a bit. And the more frequently you do it, the less intense it is, lol

H brought down my maternity clothes box. I’m so excited for pants with stretchy waistband! I’ve only been able to wear dresses to work. I might only be 8 weeks, but I sure look 4 months 🙈

I don’t want to wear my maternity shirt because I’m not ready for patients to know that I’m pregnant.

I’ve lost 4 lbs in the past couple weeks, but keep getting bigger....

After staring to feel normal yesterday today I'm back to being nauseous. I'm 12 weeks. Why can't this end? I'm tired of feeing like poop.

I think we've narrowed it down to two names and I just can't decide!! H is basically no help because he doesn't love either but he knows I care more and he'll let me pick. I've been trying to use them both throughout the day and saying them out loud but I'm just not convinced like I was with E.
It shouldn't matter and I know I have plenty of time... but my cousin is also pregnant and due in Feb and finding out the sex next week and I have some unresolved issues with her and am afraid she'll take my name so I want to decide before then 🙈 so basically I'm a super rational pregnant lady right now.

Not sure where to put this but I had to get up at 4 am local time to catch a flight home this morning. There's a guy on the jetway proclaiming that Saudi Arabia used to "be a forest and lakes but due to global warming, now it's a desert." Like of course global warming is true and has large and terrible consequences, but I don't think this was a recent (as in last 50 years) thing? He made it sound that way.
I think I'm just grumpy. Also, all perfume and aftershave should be banned.

The current top two are Theodore and Gavin. H wants to call him Theo though which I really don't like and definitely don't want other people calling him too (unless as he gets older he decided he wants that) so I think really Theodore is out. H really doesn't love Gavin but isn't helping, and I told him he needed to come up with some real contenders if he feels strongly about it. So far he keeps saying Lucas which I've told him is a no. Yogurt orangehibiscus Eta also sorry, I should have put this in the names thread but since tapatalk updated this week I can't find half the threads anywhere 🙄

She gets called Mona ALL THE TIME. she refers to herself as Mona as well. So...I still love her name and she does call herself by her full name, but its a valid concern.

Yeah, and I could live with it if it were his choice, and if other people tried to call him Theo I could just correct them, but I can't really do that with H / or if H is calling him that :/ I guess I'm just waiting on H to wow me with something new, which seems impossible since we've looked at alllllllllllllllll the baby name lists, haha.

Gavin is cute pambee! Theodore is NMS. How often do you think he would be called Theo instead of Theodore? I don’t think it would be a lot, but I don’t really know.

I think for us it started at daycare, where I wasn't around to say anything anyway. The kids all called her Baby Mona. I don't know how I would have corrected them in a way that didn't sound rude and it wasn't a big enough deal to me. I released it.

I think if H was calling him it, a lot of people would. But people around here lean towards assuming you use a nn anyways, calling Stephens Steve, Thomas's Tom, Davids Dave, etc. 🙄

I will say I expected people to call Anastasia Stacy, but so far everyone calls her Anastasia. The only two that say Stacy are the 2 year old boy across the street and my 2 year old nephew, because they were calling her baby and now there are new babies on the way, and because her full name is too hard for them to say. So yes, it may be a problem but it also may not. The fact that your H plans to shorten it- well, I thought I'd call my daughter Stacy and I don't LOL

I'm looking around my house and want to purge everything. Except my 4 y.o. makes it very difficult. Also, where is my energy?
But let's get rid of all the things!!!
