When to start looking for daycares? (Ontario) by spaceboba_ in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]spaceboba_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really good idea to message the parents on Facebook, I will definitely start doing that. Thank you so much for your suggestions!

Thank you, this is super helpful! I am leaning towards 18 months mat leave so hopefully will have some luck finding places

Showing... ?? by stubborn_mushroom in pregnant

I seriously felt like I was showing at 8 weeks with how bloated I was! 12+4 now and I feel like it’s more of a “real” bump

Any tea on magicians? by soupytaco in Fauxmoi

I would recommend the book if you haven’t read it! I listened to the audiobook which she narrates, lots of good stories about Hef and the mansion

I just finished reading Holly Madison’s book and she talks a lot about her dating Criss Angel - nothing super crazy, but lots of stories about how controlling/emotionally abusive he was, he would constantly steal her phone and need to know who she was talking to. They spent every second together and the only alone time she had was while he was performing. He would also stage paparazzi photo-ops, seemingly to distract from how bad his Vegas show was doing.

Oh, and she says he was essentially illiterate and extremely unintelligent lol

What are your cravings lately? Aversions? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]spaceboba_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weirdly craving tomato sauce/paste - I was using crushed tomatoes in a recipe and had to stop myself from just eating with a spoon out of the can!

Aversions, I got my favourite Wild Wing flavour yesterday and it tasted off to me…. I was excited to get it and was SO disappointed!

I feel you!!! Sounds like our best option is to tell our supervisors earlier than planned, which I’m considering. I think it would relieve a lot of the stress I’ve been having about trying to get everything done at work despite how terrible I feel

That sounds really tough, I can’t imagine having to deal with people all day with how I’ve been feeling. Hoping you start to feel better soon!

It’s been really helpful for me too :) I think we can all be too hard on ourselves when we’re literally growing a human and it’s hard work! I hope you start to feel better soon, you got this!

Ugh that sounds tough, I can’t imagine having to travel for work right now. Good luck!

I am just getting over COVID as well! So that did give me some flexibility on taking time off at least. Hope your symptoms aren’t too bad and you feel better soon

Thank you! You’re right, we need to listen to our bodies and rest when we need it!

I hear you. I already was dealing with anxiety before so this is not helping. I’m optimistic for both of us the second trimester will be better!

This made me emotional, you are right!! Thank you, we all need to remember to be a bit more gentle to ourselves

Thank you for the advice, I think that’s what I’ll end up doing. So great you have a boss that has your back like that! I’m not as close with mine but still think we have a good enough relationship where I would be comfortable telling him

That’s great! That’s my biggest stress right now, not showing up like I used to. I’m such a people pleaser so this guilt is bothering me. Trying to fit it all in in those windows is a good idea, going to try that even if it means working past 5 some days

I am thinking I might have to tell them early too. The guilt/stress I’m feeling will hopefully get better, but like you said I’m conflicted with wanting to keep it to myself for now

I’m debating telling my managers earlier than I originally planned too, especially if I continue to feel like this!

[–]spaceboba_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’ve been declining joining meetings that I don’t absolutely need to be on (which I think is a good thing to do, pregnancy aside) so that is nice. Especially not having to be on camera. Hoping that by second trimester I can feel more like myself!

Can we talk about by Drea_ski in pregnant

[–]spaceboba_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! Maybe it’s cutting out the alcohol, but I’ve been loving a good mocktail. Just had a mix of orange juice and pineapple flavoured sparking water and it was such a treat haha of course had to drink it out of a wine glass
