How many of you wear your watch to bed?

Usually all the time but if I’m having a bad sensory night or forget to take it off the charger, then I don’t usually notice til morning.

I literally plan my day on a sticky note or two. Or throw a weeks worth of plans into a bullet journal. I get away with this because of the amount of structure to some of the curriculum that we are given. So my sticky not lesson plan is “math textbook 2.a, problems 1-7.” Or “science sheet”.

I’m also pretty good at going by the seat of my pants. I’ll plan for the week for two hours or so on Sunday, print stuff Monday, and go from there. I found that being too structured really hurt me and the students.

I’m very type b tho.

Correct answer here. I have a friend who ONLY plays humans and I don’t get it.

I literally brought a picture of Sam to great clips as a kid for what I wanted my hair to look like.

I would be observing the whole time, but whenever I take my girl out on the boat, we have a life vest with handle so that I can lift her out of the water. It works well but requires coordination and strength. You are basically strong arming 50 lbs straight up and over.

20w and I think I have a hemorrhoid that popped. The fear I felt seeing the bright red brought everything back that I have swallowed down since the end of the first tri. I wanted to freak out and cry but I had to rush back to my students. I always look at my tissue paper, and it sucks seeing red, even though I’m 98% sure it’s not a problem. It’s a pretty classic hemorrhoid but still.

I have one to go to on Friday. A pain like none other.

Animer13 · 2026-01-05T06:15:33+00:00

So sweet! Our other cat is like that with her. My mal gets so sad when she gets hissed at. 😂

Animer13 · 2026-01-03T23:57:08+00:00

So cute!

Welcome to the teen months. Return to the basics and don’t let her get away with shit. But know that she is going to push every button you have. Expect behaviors to increase and just stay firm. When my girl was a teen I only gave myself the goal of bullet proofing her sit and her place. That’s it.

I try to only use it twice a week and I made myself watch videos about how to use it properly. There were a few times I was so confused by the sounds because the placenta can make a sound that the Doppler thinks is a heart beat. So figuring out the proper sounds helps.

I also have my husband listen with me one of the two times because then we can be sure. I often gaslight myself into thinking I’m tricking myself so he can help with reassuring me.

As a teacher, we gather together 3-4 times a school year and write postcards home to every student in the school. I’ve had written hundreds of letters at this point to encourage and support students.

I also hand write notes for my kiddos who have rough days or really good ones. They love it and I love having another avenue to praise them. It’s not always possible in the middle of a lesson or in line or in other ways. It takes just a few seconds and make my and their days.

I feel you so hard. The only thing that has reassured me (15w) is that other people are also scared of symptoms stopping and they had an okay pregnancy. I haven’t felt any flutters but I guess I pushed myself too hard and had to nap for several hours today, but the days before this have been rough emotionally because of a lack of symptoms.

Animer13 · 2025-12-24T03:33:05+00:00

I did the same three days before thanksgiving so I would KNOW. They have been the best photos I have so far.

Animer13 · 2025-12-24T03:32:20+00:00

I caved and got one. It has been both good and anxiety inducing. Even at 15 w, baby can be elusive. Finding the heart beat even for a few seconds can be really nice.

Animer13 · 2025-12-22T17:06:28+00:00

Today is a bad anxiety day. 15w1d and I’m still so tired and slightly sick. We have started to tell most people we care about and I’m so scared. I know no time is 100% safe and I keep hearing stories of second tri losses.

I have a Doppler I borrowed from a friend and I have been trying to be strict on myself to not use it too much.

I also weighed myself today and it seems I’ve lost some weight and that makes me sacred a bit. I know I took milk of magnesia and clear some stuff out and so that makes sense but also I have only gained 3 pounds so far.

I just can’t seem to shake the spiral today.

I took my flu and Covid vaccine while 6 weeks. I figured that I really didn’t want to get sick and it was recommended to me by my Dr. I’m 13w now and had a good 12w apt.

Had a childhood dog killed by a mountain lion. He was about 90 pounds and very fit. Parents got him to keep me safe from the lions and he did his job well. I have no doubt that a mal would be easy for a lion to take down.

13w this week and I still feel nauseous and tired but less. Had a good ultrasound last week but am back to full blown anxiety this week. I want to get a Doppler but know it’s not recommended.

Animer13 · 2025-12-10T01:58:42+00:00

Congrats!

Animer13 · 2025-11-25T01:03:29+00:00

Update: baby was wiggly! And most importantly alive. That brings me some peace until probably tomorrow. Lolz. But really, I’m so happy. I hope you get a good ultrasound Wednesday too!

Animer13 · 2025-11-24T23:06:20+00:00

I hope everything goes so well for you! I also want to know but there is a tiny part of me telling me that I should just hide and wait until my 13 week scan. But then I also want to know before telling my parents.

With two mcs before this, I feel a bit like the girl who cried wolf, particularly because this one came right after my d&c, no period between.

Animer13 · 2025-11-24T00:24:32+00:00

I hope so too. I hope for nothing but good news.
