What's goin' on?

Morning!

We got 3-5" of snow into this morning. H got up while I was in the shower (at 5) and cleaned off my car for me. That man :x

I hope none of our surgeries cancel... No one seems to be able to drive in the white stuff AND the highway condition was terrible during my commute.

Snow!

We are supposed to get some tomorrow, I think

Good morning! Today is our 7th anniversary!! I think it's our first ever with snow on the ground though!
We are doing something different and going out to dinner tonight WITH our boys.
Looking forward to dressing them up a little bit too. Little button downs & sweaters are so damn cute on boys.

I want to see snow!! Where's the pics? We got snow here one day last year and while my yard looked pretty the roads were terrible. We just don't have the equipment to deal with it. It took me 3 hours to get to work that day.

I've been laying here trying to think of things I can do that won't violate my 5 pound lifting restriction. I really want LO to have a finished nursery to come home to. Not that he/she will have a clue, but still.

This sleep for two hours and get up to pee thing is BS. 6 weeks till induction today (fingers crossed), unless she decides she's had enough as well and comes on her own!

I have officially completed Christmas shopping (for extended family too) and 90% of it is even wrapped. I went a little overboard due to unexpected money being on my last paycheck, but whatever. Happy to have it all done! House is mostly decorated too!! (minus the tree). I can't find a whole bin of decorations though, so I'm bummed and confused as to where they could be. Hoping to get DH out to do the lights sooner rather than later.

Currently craving a glazed donut, and I know there's nothing remotely comparable in my kitchen, so I'm refusing to get out of bed right now.

@Firefly3911‌ - did you know this existed? I just discovered it. Land O' Lakes has changed the breakfast game!

Holy crap that looks amazing!

Also @elleswarth‌ I'm a little jealous that you have most your decorating done. My dH said we have to wait until after Christmas. However, I'm seriously contemplating hiring somebody to come put lights on the house while DH is in Michigan this week.

@Robs Baby Girl‌ - I assume you mean Thanksgiving, right?? Haha. And as much as I want DH to do it now, he will probably stall and wait till after Thanksgiving as well. He says I'm rushing everything, and to a degree I am, because being due this time of the year makes me anxious! I don't want our DD not to have the holiday traditions/experiences she's use to if I can help it.

Edit: it won't let me tag you right

The work event I've been planning for a year went great!!!! Now I can relax and get ready for a little downtime after today. So many people in for the conference have booked to stay longer to meet with me about our work. It's great to be recognized but I'm looking forward to taking tomorrow off and Christmas shopping on the couch while watching movies.

MusicFanatic

That cinnamon sugar butter is delicious, I've had it. It's really yummy on a fruity bagel. 

I'm watching Gossip Girl and sipping coffee.  I have my u/s soon and NST later.. I like Monday's.

Ha ha. Yes. See I just can't think lately. Baby is eating my brain. I love this time of year and I'm afraid that I will spend most of it sitting in the NICU. So when I'm home I want it all decked out and to feel like it normally does.

@HappyMonkey817‌ - I'm sorry you're having a rough day and hope it gets better for you!

Is this thread supposed to include Monday Bitchfest? If not, please disregard the rest of this.

Today is the anniversary of when my dad died. I don't usually get too hung up on sad anniversaries, but it's bugging me this year. I'm really sad that he won't get to meet the baby. It's also a rainy, shitty day here, which does not help.

I felt sick pretty much all night. Crampy and nauseated, kind of like I needed to throw up and have diarrhea at the same time. Neither one happened, though, so I still feel bad. It gets worse when I lie down. Very strange and annoying.

To end this on a positive note, last night we went to my reunion for high school orchestra. It was a lot of fun. My orchestra teacher was my favorite teacher. I had her from 5th grade all the way through high school, and she is one of the reasons I went into teaching. It was awesome to see her and some old friends.

Sorry for the length. Carry on.

You can bitchfest here if you want too I'm sorry about the anniversary, I can't imagine dealing with that.

rayna912

Been up all night really wish this stupid headache would stay gone...
I did do some research since I was up anyways, and thinking these May be cluster headaches. The worst thing about them, is they get worse when you lay down -_-
Enough of my complaining. Hope everyone has a great day!!! gonna go creep the dec14 birth announcements lol

robsbabygirl08

@rayna912 have you tried putting an ice pack at the base of your neck and a heating pad on your feet? Maybe it will help.

The ice pack yes, but not the heating pad. What does that do?

My sister is having a boy! My niece is the same age as DS, and now my nephew will only be ~2 months younger than baby girl! :x :x

@HappyMonkey817‌ I'm sorry about all the sad feels and memories today brings

Thanksgiving being next week means that this is the last full work week in November! I'm excited for it to be December.

Anddd the nursery is sooo close to being done. The bookcase just needs H's tightening and some picture frames and a shelf need to go up on the wall. I wish We were able to afford new flooring in the room, but the original 70s looking carpet is just going to have to keep working for awhile.

MusicFanatic

@Amandad17 - happy 7th anniversary!! :x 

@HappyMonkey817- I'm sorry today is rough on you *hugs* I can understand why it's a sad time for you. So many hugs!

That's what my little ones had for breakfast today too! It's a snow day tradition

I don't know how it works but it seems to help me with migraines, just thought it might help with a cluster headache.

LadyXaverian

It's rainy. We overslept. I have a headache. Wah wah wah.

On a positive note, (and I know I have a one track mind lately) our new house just showed up on the realtor websites as "pending inspection", which means we are one step closer. I'm so excited and so ready to move!!!!

I'm so sorry that today sucks for you. I've been thinking about this a lot too - my dad passed away a few years ago and I keep thinking about how my daughter will never know him. It makes me cry and I've been really really sad about it lately. I totally feel you and send tons and tons of hugs.

Good morning, everyone.

I woke up ALL the times last night to pee. Insanity.

I shockingly didn't want to kill everyone on the road this morning in the rain so I'll count that as a win. Got to work on time, too. 

Finally, and by far the most random, I decided to part my hair in a different spot today than normal. I kind of like it, but it's making my hair look darker than normal because I always part it a little further to the side and so it's naturally highlighted that way. Now it looks like I went a few shades darker. I guess it's nice for a change?

Boys are out of school today because of snow.  I'm just crossing my fingers they don't act like too big of psychos today.  The little one slept for over 12 hours last night after I made him go to sleep 30 minutes early because he was being a terror.  I'm sure he's going to be full of energy today.

Mrs_Bennett

It's cold and rainy here, and I woke up grumpy for no real reason.
I'm meeting an old friend for lunch, and I kind of wish I wasn't. We haven't seen each other in years (and I'm the one who invited her!), but now I'm afraid it will just be awkward with nothing to talk about. It probably won't be; we'll probably enjoy ourselves, but my mood this morning isn't making me look forward to it at all.
I feel like this baby is all wedged up in my ribs this morning, and I'm uncomfortable.
DH did about a million things around the house yesterday, and he was super sweet and loving to me all day. I love him, and wish he didn't have to work so much.

peggels24

@musicfanatic I hope the u/s and NST go well later!

@happymonkey817 ((hugs))

I wish we had snow - we only have rain (and lots of it).  

I promised myself that I would take an hour today and go get waxed and then run to Target but the rain is gross and now I don't want to.

I have nothing "urgent" at work so I'm ignoring my desk right now (NOT a good idea)

Today was the first time that I felt "fat" when I got dressed - had to actually change because the sweater I had on made me look like a house.

luckylady18

@peggels24 - I'm sorry you're having a fat day. I hate that...especially on a rainy yucky day!

I definitely have some maternity tops that make me look like a house. I cant deal with those. I have a cute non-maternity but very flowy shirt on today that I found yesterday in my sister's goodwill pile. DH saw me in it and said "you look very motherly in that shirt." I have no idea what that means....but I think it's cute so I'm happy.

I've got so much going on right now!  Let's see, I passed my 3 hour test!  It took every ounce of strength I had not to throw that drink right up.  

A little while back my DH told me I could quit my job whenever I wanted and I was still unsure about whether or not to do it, but this weekend he told me, "why don't you just quit and we'll go on vacation!" Um, ok, sold!  In the last week he also made as much as I do in a month, so it's not like I was making enough to make a big difference.  So I'm at work now and have my two-weeks notice printed out and ready to go but my anxiety is REALLY bad and I'm terrified to go talk to my boss.  But I already reserved the room for our vacation (we're going to the keys!  My favorite place in all of FL, yay!)  So I HAVE to do it today.  

Over the weekend I got my first unwelcome belly touch from a very drunk woman in a pool hall.  She then went on to tell me that I MUST have 3 kids and the next two should be boys.  And she went on to talk about how some sex positions are better for producing boys then gave me a hug and offered to baby sit for me.  No thanks lady!  If I wasn't at the counter paying I wouldn't have stuck around quite so long.

peggels24

@shehulk723 What is the worst that your boss can do?  Fire you on the spot would be the worst, right?  There- now you are prepared.  Go give that notice!

peggels24

@mrsdigger10 I hope you are feeling better today.

I feel like there has been quite a few women on here recently with GI issues

Morning all, jealous of those with snow! We had a little ice on our car this morning, but in TX that's even a big deal!

I have felt like shit all weekend and went into work this morning just to see my PCP this morning. He wasn't in until 9 so I hid in my office and wrote case notes for an hour. I'm in yoga pants/hoodie/wet hair/no makeup and basically looked like death warmed over. Turns out I have a bad sinus infection (which I suspected) and am on my way home with a z-pack. Hoping I'm well for our babymoon this weekend! Planning to spend the day in bed re-reading Mockingjay which we'll see Saturday night. Sick days are the only time I dislike my MIL watching DD and other toddlers at our house. Hopefully I can get some peace and quiet!

peggels24

@edvent - Hope you feel better soon

LuckyPenny1231

I was feeling pretty good about my pregnancy hormones this time around. I haven't been moody or anything...Until this weekend. I wanted to slap the target cashier for not taking my diaper coupon, I've wanted to kill my husband on numerous occasions (RAGE!) and now I'm sitting here kissing on DD and smelling her sweet head wondering wtf I was thinking in having another baby and "ruining" her life.

These hormones are crazy, yo.

robsbabygirl08

I'm getting irritated because the contractor for our water damage hasn't got in touch with me today. I'm sick of my house being a wreck!

Ah thank you so much for that!  That's actually a way I used to talk myself down from my anxiety, but I forgot about it.  One time I gave two weeks notice at an office and the manager completely flipped out on me, yelled at me for about 15 minutes, insulted my religion and told me I was a horrible person (apparently they really needed me, maybe they shouldn't have been paying me such crap! haha) but I *think* my current boss is more reasonable than that.  As soon as she gets back in the office, I'll talk to her!

 @MusicFanatic‌ can't wait for our Zoe update later  

@MrsDigger10 - thriving and big I'm not sure I trust this last measurement, seems too big for 33.4 weeks or something to me. But she's showing growth, so that's all that matters. 

Cervical length has shortened yet again, though, so that's a bummer.  

I'm sorry you have the stomach flu, ugh ugh ugh! One of the worst things ever. I hope it's short lasting.

WE HAVE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!  I see flakes outside my window :x
