An update and a vent, all in one.

I just got back from the Doc and we officially have a Turkeybutt on board. Yay! Everything looks really good, but we are a little earlier than we thought- 8.5 weeks instead of 9.5 (I'll have to adjust my ticker later.) Official new due date is 11/25. Like I said, Turkeybutt. My doctor is awesome and just laid back as can be, but she's still really informative and supportive. I couldn't love her more. They also did a lot of tests and took a lot of blood (a LOT) so I'm actually a little woozy right now.

Now to the vent part. My mother ruins everything. I've said before that I'm pulling back a lot from my family because of their toxicity. But first OB appointment! Sonogram! How could they possibly ruin that??

My mother said "How's the morning sickness?"
"Terrible," I said.
"Oh good, maybe you'll lose some weight!"

Seriously. What the fuckingfuck.

    Yay on healthy Turkeybutt!

    Boo on momma being a PITA.

     I'm pretty sure losing weight is NOT what you're supposed to be doing while pregnant.
    Sorry that your morning sickness is bad :(

    You guys, this is why I love you! I just laughed. A lot. My twunt of a mother needs to be kicked in the crotch, and now that you've pointed that out I feel so much better. I am also trying to remember that it's not really MY weight she's obsessed with, it's her own. And everything in her world is about her, even my pregnany.

    Deep breath, aaaaaaaaand letting it go.

    So um. You wanna see the Turkeybutt picture or what?

    My cousin was sick all 9 months for all of her kids.  As a result, she didn't gain too much weight.  However, I don't think that it is what you aim for!  WTF, MOM!?!

    Glad everything is going along swimmingly!!

    Speaking of gaining weight, my friend sent this to me.  It breaks down what the extra pregnancy weight actually is (SPOILER: not all fat!)  It was very interesting.

    Your mom is a lame ass ma'am if I ever did meet one. Screw her and the broom she rode on in.

    Now, let me see nephew OR niece turkeybuttlette.

    But I think you're having a boy. So.

    bree, she lives in NY and I live in DC. THANK GOD. But maybe next time I feel sick I'll box it up and send it to her. Heh.


    georgia it's about the size of a bean and the shape of an Easter Egg. I have to convert the file to JPEG, then I'll post it.

    YAY for a healthy bean, Manda! Your mom sounds a lot like my friend's mom and we're pretty sure she has some form of undiagnosed narcissism.
