Re: *~* July Sparklers' Thursday Check-in *~*
T: What traits of yours or your DH/SO do you hope get passed on to your children?
I hope that our kids have DH's dimples and curly hair. I hope that our kids get my blue eyes. I hope that the kids get both of our passion for the things they really love!
W: What traits of yours or your DH/SO would you not want to pass on to your children?
Sometimes I procrastinate (like when I am bumping and should be working/dishes/laundry, etc.) and I hope they don't get that. As far as DH goes, he has a pretty good temper and I hope that they are a little more mellow than he is sometimes. I, on the other hand, never get angry haha!
Th: How are you sleeping these days?
Lately, not very well and it sucks! Everytime I lay down this kid starts a dance party in my uterus! But, I guess I should shut up and be grateful that I can feel the baby!
M: Weekend was ok. Baby is apparently ok. I haven't actually been here in July, but I'm assuming we have typical Jersey Shore weather. I'm hoping to get a nice breeze from the ocean.
T: I hope our kids get DH's eyes and my ears.
W: I hope our kids don't get my poofy hair.
Th: Once I actually fall asleep, I'm fine. Can't really complain.
W: I hope our daughter does not get my bad temper or my Dh's nappy curly hair lol
Th: I sleep pretty normal (amount of sleep wise) but this baby must be a night owl because she makes it hard for me to sleep in the night and much too easy to sleep during the day.?
please change my color to blue - it's a boy!
T: I hope he gets our values & strength.
W: I hope he does NOT have dark curly hair all over his body
Th: not sleeping well at all this week - but then again we've been moving apartments and i just found out i have bronchitis!
I've actually been sleeping way better than in the first tri. Though, I'm a tummy sleeper, so I find it a little harder to fall asleep, but once I am asleep I stay that way.
Today, however, is a surprise day off and I could have slept in...but I was wide awake at 6:00am!
Th: How are you sleeping these days?
I love sleep...I have no problem with falling/staying asleep.
Th: How are you sleeping these days?
Not well at all. I wake up at least once to go to the bathroom and sometimes can't go back to sleep. Also, DH gets up very early to go to work and then I really can't go back to sleep. I'm having leg cramps/legs falling asleep, too. I just want to sleep!!!
T: I hope one of our babies ends up with DH's blue eyes, but it's not likely.
W: I hope none of them get his stick-straight hair! DD didn't get my curls, which means DS will probably have beautiful curly hair.
Th: With a 7.5 month old, I can say I've slept better. She was waking up at 5-5:30 every morning raring to go for a week or so. She slept from 7:15 p.m.-6 a.m. last night and I'm hoping she does it again tonight!
Pretty good for the most part. We have the 1:00am and 6:00am bathroom trips, but other than that I really cannot complain. I fall right back to sleep usually. I try not to nap when I get home from work, that way when I go to bed I am ready for sleep. It is working out pretty good!
Add me to team Blue. Big U/S yesterday confirmed boy!!
T- Traits of DH- eyes and personality Mine- size
W- Not passed on- family heart issues Mine- temper
Th- Hips are killing me but that is about it oh yeah and going to the bathroom.
Th: How are you sleeping these days?
I can crash out right away, but then I get up about 4am every morning to use the bathroom and can't go back to sleep...my mind starts going a million miles a minute about baby stuff, work, school, etc! Usually I end up falling asleep again right before my alarm goes off, go figure!!!
ADD ME PLEASE!!
Rachel 22 July 19
I am team blue!!!
Sleeping is difficult! I am usually a stomach sleeper so can't get comfortable at all. I have a body pillow which helps some, but then I feel like I don't have enough room in the bed with it.
I am sleeping pretty well these days, besides getting up to pee all the time. Also please add me to the Boy list! We just found out last night!
