{{{Stephanie}}} It's hard work, making a whole new human!

I'm sure your thing is pregnancy-related but that sounds like how I felt right before I had my crazy vertigo last fall.

I'm sure it's related to the pregnancy thing, but I do worry. Bending over to help Ellie on the potty has been actually scary a few times.

Are you not eating the sugary cause you don't want to or a medical reason?

Part of it is that I gained 5 lbs in the first two weeks because the only way to stop the nausea was to eat. And I'm totally in that looking fat, not pregnant phase.

Honestly, I'm just sick of eating all the time. I'm eating to stop a bad feeling, as opposed to eating to enjoy it. I totally love all the sweets and honestly, it's one of the few things that I don't feel like I'm forcing myself to eat. I had really good Lindt chocolate in the fridge and didn't touch it for weeks. M&Ms and Twix bars, however, are screaming my name.

eta: silver lining note - the human body is pretty damn amazing because I'm so tired of eating that nausea is about the only thing that will induce me to keep eating. The spice cake cupcakes, however, sounded awesome!

And, of course, NOT IT as far as who might be pregnant.

Hi, Kristin T. Thanks for the welcome and the tip. I'm used to HTML and hadn't yet looked up how to do stuff in quick-edit. It sure is quicker!

Well, it's a supervisor position, but they didn't have "megalomaniacal", "tyrannical" or "despotic" as options.

Big Yay!! for Stephanie. More Buffista babies to rule the world.

Thanks for the ~ma, y'all.

I am in an insanely pissy foul mood right now because someone stole my salad dressing! I am sure that is the reason for my angst. Sure. But regardless, I want to stomp around and sulk and eat burritos and ice cream. Bleh.

Big Yay!! for Stephanie. More Buffista babies to rule the world.

Yes, this! I completely spaced on saying this. Congrats, Stephanie!

(I suspect I spaced on it because I have had NO COFFEE yet. The clever plan this morning was to not have coffee at home, and that Pete would bring me tasty iced coffee from the really good coffee shop by work. Alas, he has not reappeared with coffee yet, and I'm starting to feel a bit loopy. Gosh, I hope he didn't forget our clever plan.)

Not it!

Good to hear that Stephanie is once again contributing to the Buffista society. Yay! Sorry for the ick feeling. This too shall pass.

Lots of ~ma to Tom & mom.

Stephanie - maybe have someone check your iron levels. Mine were off the charts because of the @#@! prenatal vitamins plus being mostly vegetarian & eating lots of green stuff already, and I was really, really sick, dizzy, etc. The doctor switched me to flintstones and everything got better. Oh, and watermelon jolly ranchers. Those helped. [hoping I didn't give you the ick].

lisah - insent coming.

eta so that I didn't sound like my mom in church-lady mode.
