Rama I really appreciate your whole post because so much of what I've been feeling since our transfer has been the same. Even now it feels awkward to plan. Your mom sounds really wonderful and understanding though. I kind of snapped at my MIL recently when she was grilling me about plans, and could she tell people, and and and... I feel really bad about not handling it better, but I just had to be firm and say "please give me some space, I'm not ready, I've been through a lot and this is still a bit of an anxiety trigger for me". She has been a bit better since. Don't worry about snapping. Your MIL should know better and based on her backing off, I think she kind of felt the same way once you did. My anxiety is just starting to get a little bit better, but I think I'm not going to feel really "normal" until I start feeling movement regularly at least. Planning just...is not my style. I am the worst planner. But I also think it's really just too early to spend my brain on. January is when things space out again, so when that comes around is when I'll be willing to talk more concrete plans with people.

My 4 year old will not decide what she wants to be for Halloween and it's driving me nuts. I'm usually pumpkin spice and fall treats crazy, but it's all aversions for me..boo! I'm too tired and lazy to even decorate right now. I feel like a bum. I should though since the kids are excited seeing our neighbors "spooky" stuff. yianna, That's how our weather is right not and it's killer. Rama, sounds like your fall and winter are going to fly, but it sounds like fun stuff....I hope. katietopaz, Good luck at your MOPS meeting, and I hope you find it helpful to share and you'll probably help other women who are silently suffering too. You are a brave strong woman to open up like that.

Rama , sounds like your fall and winter are going to fly, but it sounds like fun stuff....I hope. It should be! The only stress is having so many things to celebrate, which is the biggest FWP. I really enjoy celebrating and gifting and spending time with my loved ones, so this whole season is truly my favorite time of year.

We went to two apple orchards this weekend, but only picked apples at one of them. I will never eat all the apples we have, so they probably will be given to my mother to make applesauce. I like the fall. I love all the apple treats. I definitely ate my fair share of apple donuts over the weekend. I am not a fan of pumpkin flavor things.
I also love Thanksgiving. I had GD last pregnancy so I missed out on a lot of the fall treats, DS was born on Thanksgiving so we did Thanksgiving dinner late that year. My first GD test will be at the end of October, I really hope I don't have it because between now and March there are so many birthdays and other celebrations. I will survive if I have to, but I really love cake, and Thanksgiving pies, and Christmas cookies...!

Thanksgiving with only 1/4c of stuffing and no pie was sad.

A lemon italian ice is in my belly. Here's hoping it stays down, unlike pepperoni roll I attempted for lunch.

Rama I don't remember mentioning it but that doesn't mean much with my pregnancy brain. And lol to the alternate universes - we've been catching up on The Flash so that's on the brain quite a bit lately. auri How funny! I don't know anyone else that shared my birthday or had big anniversaries that day. But now I do, haha.

yianna,I was so excited for Thanksgiving for my last pregnancy because I was 37 weeks pregnant and was going to chow, but I was to big and uncomfortable and ate almost nothing! This year should be prime pregnancy feasting time. I can't wait!

Thanksgiving at 20 weeks sounds justttttt right. I might ask my mom to double the stuffing. It always runs out first and you really need it for the perfect leftover sandwich.
OMG WAWA THANKSGIVING SANDWICHES WILL BE HERE SOON. YAYYYYYYY

Thanksgiving is next weekend and I just want to stay home. We don't have my stepson this year, I'm over driving and don't feel up for hosting. We'll see what happens.
I made DS's costume, he wanted to be a ghost from a Berenstain Bears book. He runs around saying "ooooooh I'm ghost of the fooorest." and it's the cutest thing ever.

Is 2 too young for trick or treating? I don't give DS candy but was planning to take him to town to go to a few houses for fun and let him have a few treats. He'll be 2.5 at the end of November.

Throwing in some Halloween treats is a good idea!

Yaaaay I just got a shipping notification for my Stitch Fix box! It says it will get here Thursday, but I'm crossing my fingers that FedEx will move things along a little more speedily than that. I'm so curious to see what's in it!

We took our just over 2 yo last year. She had great fun walking up to the houses following other kids. Her fun ended when it started raining.

I took my 2 year old last year. And I think I took him when he was one. Then he got one treat and the rest kind of disappeared. He loved going house to house and he can’t wait to go this year. Plus the people loved the little kid at the door.

You may have to wait until they say delivered though which if you're home already won't help but I know I peeked at work.

We’re out of province right now but home just got slammed with a bunch of snow. Highways are closed and it’s a mess. Times I wish I could fly south for the winter. On the bright side, I got to have a gtg with another N15er yesterday and it was awesome! The boys played so well together and we ended up going out to dinner together too.

I checked, and I don't see a way to see the clothes they're sending, but it might not be available on the mobile site. I'll try tomorrow, or maybe just enjoy the anticipation like it's Christmas, haha!

I've taken Sudafed while pregnant but generally as a last resort, and usually just half a dose if I can stand it. It's on my doctor's list of safe meds to take but I'm hesitant like you. You could always call your nurse line?

My SIL is being induced today! I’m going to be an aunt! I keep obsessively checking my phone for updates, but she just went in at 6 am so I’m guessing it may be a while. I think we’re heading up to visit on Wed night. Eeek I can’t wait.

We finally sucked it up and invited FIL and his wife for Thanksgiving. It became clear that my choices were: 1) Go to their house and eat bird food for Thanksgiving or 2) Host Thanksgiving myself at 23 weeks pregnant. I chose the carbs, even if I have to cook it all myself. Fortunately my SILs will come too, and are more enthusiastic eaters than FIL so I won't be making a feast just for me to eat.
Seriously, fuck the holidays. Its really too bad. I used to love them!

Is 2 too young for trick or treating? I don't give DS candy but was planning to take him to town to go to a few houses for fun and let him have a few treats. He'll be 2.5 at the end of November. We took our first ToTing when he was 10 days old (in the mall, in his stroller), our second was like 6 weeks old and wore him, and took my youngest when she was 5 months old - for the first time. We go every year. She tolerated a good hour of it last year at just over 1, so now closing in on 2.5, we are DEF going. And she picked out her costume. A unicorn. LOL. It's really more for me and hubby than for her. She doesn't quite understand it but yesterday the boys were talking about halloween candy, and they were talking about all the chocolate... and I hear her from the back seat "I want choco-late!". A girl after my own heart.

We took our 2.5 year old last year. She did good for a few blocks and then she was done. We made a small pile of approved candies for her to choose 1-2 treats from at the end of trick-or-treating, which she thoroughly enjoyed.
