I haven't eaten red meat or pork in over 14 years, but man, right about now I would cut a bitch for a saucy rack of ribs. Pregnancy, why you so weird? I had some delicious freshly smoked pulled pork at a grad party today. #helpful Not doing it for me. Must be ribs. I craved steak with DD a ton and never gave in. It's just weird. I hope you enjoyed your pulled pork though!

Is it normal to get braxton hicks this early? All day my stomach has been tightening on and off. And I remember this feeling from DS's pregnancy as it made me slightly breathless as well. 17 weeks tomorrow. Not getting any sort of cramps just the tightenings so I'm not worried, just thought they would start up around 26 weeks like they did with DS. I have a headache and a slightly blocked nose, I think I have a cold coming on but I'm not letting it defeat me Are you drinking and eating enough. I had cramping the other day but went away after eating.

This past week I've been cursing that ass who rearended me on 5/5. If I wasn't pregnant, it wouldn't have been this big of a deal, but my right hip hurts so bad, it hurts to sit and stand for too long. Right now I'm laying on frozen peas rewatching GOT. Aww I hope you feel better

This fucking cold is the worst. I took allergy medicine to see if that would help. Nope. Worst headache, my head is so congested. I never get sick. I think pregnancy weakens my immune system. No fever though.

cnf DH has a smoker and we're making ribs today because it's his birthday. He smokes them low and slow for hours and then finishes them on the grill with homemade BBQ sauce. We're also having bacon mac n cheese and caramelized brussel sprouts with bacon. I would send you some if I could!

I had a horrible night last night. The toddler was up from 11-2:30. I think it was just a nightmare. We brought him into bed with us and he kept kicking me, slapping me saying "mommy!?", and talking to himself. I am so fucking tired.

I don't know what I did to my kids, but they are obedient to a fault when it comes to staying in bed after they wake up. Which is great in some ways, but not so much when I hear DS over the monitor, "Mama, Mama, Mama, my blanket. It fell on the floor." DD is like this. She won't get out of bed to pick anything up but can't sleep if she doesn't have her doll/blanket/pillow. She also just lies there in bed playing with her doll when she wakes up, never gets up to read books or turn on a light. Just sings to her dolls in the dark. Weirdo.

DD went dry from 8:30 to 11:30, when she loudly announced that she wanted to pee. We aren't even really trying to PT, just ask her to try after dinner most days and if she doesn't, NBD. Guess she's ready to start actively PT.

Oh no, you. I'm sorry. Is there anything you can do to try to prevent contracting it?

Exhausted today. Slept like crap due to what I think is a pulled muscle on my right side. Doc said Tylenol and alternate ice/heat. Ain't nobody got time for that. Then I had a stupid dream and woke up angry at DH for no reason. Counting down the minutes until nap time so I can also nap.

It's only 2pm, and I've had a super busy day already. We went out for breakfast pretty early at like 8:30, and then stopped to buy mulch and some plants on our way home. I spent the last four hours planting, mulching, and mowing, and I'm wiped! Now I'm showered and on my couch. I think I'll stay here until it's time to make dinner.

Officially caved. I just swapped out my regular jeans for maternity jeans. They still button fine because I'm carrying high, but my bump is pushing them down and they won't stay on. At least now I look like I have a pregnancy bump, not a fat roll hanging over said slouchy pants.

This fucking cold is the worst. I took allergy medicine to see if that would help. Nope. Worst headache, my head is so congested. I never get sick. I think pregnancy weakens my immune system. No fever though. I'm so sorry. Pregnancy most definitely weakens the immune system. And pregnancy rhinitis is a real thing. With DD, I got a really bad cold around the holidays, and the congestion didn't go away until she was born... In February.

I'm sorry you, CMV can be scary. It usually isn't a concern except in immunocompromised people, but I guess pregnancy would count for that. I hope you can avoid it.

We have had a lovely Sunday morning here. Had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and then went to the farmers market. I am now sitting with my Vietnamese iced coffee.
Actually DD is now asking me to push her on her trike, even though I know she can pedal. 😔

With DD, I got a really bad cold around the holidays, and the congestion didn't go away until she was born... In February. I get pregnancy rhinitis every single time. It always starts the day before I turn a test. With DD it didn't go away until she was born and it appears to be the same thing this go around. Now on too of it I either have a cold or allergies. Just miserable.

I made chive blossom butter and it was the best decision I've made in a while. I ate entirely too many mashed potatoes for dinner because the butter was so good. Hopeless.
