I can almost guarantee that ltc will be an only child. For one I can't picture going to all those early morning blood tests with a toddler in tow, and two it just wouldn't be fair to ltc to be this miserable for nine months of her life. Plus we're old and our house is small.
On the plus side, I have found a fairly easy lunch that takes very little effort on my part. I found black bean burgers and chickpea burgers that both have the right amount of carbs for lunch when eaten on an English muffin with some cheese for extra protein.
Growing a new human is hard work. Of course you need a safe place to vent. We at least are not going to give you "well, you asked for this" grief. Wasn't it Zenkitty (or am I mis-remembering?) who said "you want a baby, no one wants morning sickness".
"well, you asked for this" grief
Yeah, I already have plenty of that.

It is, and I'm not sleeping much, which adds to the whiny.
I always wanted to be an only child.

Sleep deprivation is bad enough, especially without your body revved up to maximum on hard work.
Catching up with the asthma conversation -- on Friday, I was diagnosed with severe asthma variant (lots of coughing, not so much with the trouble breathing). The doctor put me on Symbicort, plus an albuterol-based emergency inhaler.
Problem is, the coughing has gotten worse, including one time where I actually did have trouble breathing. Hubs thinks it's just my lungs clearing out, and I shouldn't worry. But I do -- any thoughts?
huh ... I always thought the sleep deprivation came after the baby was born ....

You would think, but my back is aching, my acid reflux is terrible, and the baby is resting on my bladder. So, restful sleep has been hard to come by.
Fred, is it a productive cough? If it is, than Hubs is probably right, but if it is worrying you, you should definitely call your doctor.

Are they Morningstar Farms? Tim loves the black bean burgers, and he has discovered the chickpea burgers are good with TJs goddess dressing.

Yes, those are the ones. I'm for anything that only takes 2 minutes in the microwave during the day. The black bean ones are good with a little of the TJ's salsa on top with cheese.
