Ten Things Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!
Three for me:
1. I was up all night. I was going to jump into the night owl thread, but I had nothing of use to contribute. Instead I went on Wayfair.com and put a lot of things in my shopping cart that I will never buy.
2. I do that a lot. The idea of buying is fun but paying the money isn't.
3. For anyone who's been following my moving fiasco, we are moving Easter Weekend. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I know that MIL is going to want us at her house on Saturday regardless, and I'm going to try to tell her nicely to STFU
What's happening with you this week?

Re: Ten Things Tuesday
2. DH got his new car on Friday and he is so happy.
3. It was my granny's 85th birthday party:
Had a bit of an akward moment with one of my older cousins when I introduced myself to her. Everyone laughed and asked me 'don't you know who it is?'. No, if I did I wouldn't have introduced myself, duh.
4. My other cousin's pregnant wife was there (this one I did know) so it was nice chatting to a person IRL about our pregnancies.
5. I think we are about 30/40 cousins and I don't know the majority of them. Our family is way too big.
6. My mom has started planning my shower and I am super stoked. Invites are going out this week.
7. DH's commentary on my wishlist is hilarious. When I had to explain to him what a teething ring is he was just like 'no! shame poor baby' - lol. He also thought a RATTLE we got was broken cause it wasn't making any noise. He kept on pressing it as if it had buttons. Only when I explained that it rattled did he understand. He is going to be entertaining as a dad!
8. I am soooo hungry right now. Going to grab some breakfast biscuits even though it's afternoon now.
9. Getting japanese takeout tonight. Yum.
10. House of Cards weekend!! Not making any plans.
2. I'm pretty sure that DS saying, "night, night!" is the cutest sound in existence right now.
3. I love that LO is becoming increasingly reactive to outside stimuli.
4. DH and I are coming up with our prioritized nesting list. I'm so excited to get some things reorganized that have been bothering me for a little while.
5. We have maternity/family pictures this weekend!
6. FIL and SMIL are also coming in this weekend. Sometime. They changed their plans to come earlier in the month last week, so I'm just trying to go with the flow. At least they are staying in a hotel nearby.
7. I have one freshman class that I decidedly do not like to teach. As a collective group, they are much more insensitive and more shallow than the average 13 year old. It's a real problem when you're reading things about the Holocaust and some of the kids find the atrocious acts funny. 38 days...
8. Besides counting down work days to maternity leave, I'm counting down to spring break.
9. I only have about 1.5 in clearance between the steering wheel and my bump on most days now. I know that with DS I hit a point in which the two uncomfortably touched, but I still drove...I just don't remember how early that happened.
10. Can it be Friday, please?
1. I am tired and cold. I would love to go back to my nice warm bed!
2. It's supposed to be 62 degrees today, but when I last checked it was only 33 outside, I don't see it warming up that much today but we shall see!
3. I have to drive almost an hour and twenty minutes to go to the dentist today, taking 4 hours off of work because I have yet to find a new dentist where we live now.
4. I just made a peanut butter and banana sandwich to eat for lunch while I am out so I won't be tempted to stop for food.
5. I think baby boy LOVES PB and banana because every time I eat it, he starts going nuts. I love it.
6. We have our first birthing class on Monday.
7. We have our maternity pictures that Tuesday!
8. My baby shower is April 2. I am excited to see how they decorate and stuff, I think it is Avengers themed because that's what his room is and it's what I asked for.
9. I keep checking my registry to see if anything has been purchased, but I don't know why because the shower invites aren't even out yet, they go out this week.
10. I really want a cupcake. It's only 7:38am. I'm glad there are no cupcakes here. lol
Me: 31
DH: 29, SA - Great
Married: June 12,2011
TTC #1: 1/2014
Diagnosis: Hypothalamic Amenorrhea
Treatment: Clomid: 50mg, 100mg, 150mg - not successful and not monitored
Menopur 75ml (upped to 112.5ml), Ovidrel, & IUI IUI #1 8/31/2015
9/15/2015: BFP HCG - 400, 9/17/2015: HCG - 827, 9/21/2015 - HCG 3,327!2. Our house looks like a disaster because we have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms being painted.
3. Despite point 2, I am a nesting monster. I have accomplished SO much stuff on my to-do list in the last week. It feels good.
4. I slept for maybe 3 or 4 hours last night. I'm tired today.
5. I'm not having a shower since this is kiddo number 2, but I am hosting my sister's bridal shower on April 2. At first I was dreading it, but after seeing the shower thread I'm kind of looking forward to joining in on the shower excitement at the same time as a lot of you ladies!
6. I passed my GD test! Yay!
7. DD is moving from the crib to her big girl bed this weekend. I'm so nervous about what this will mean for sleep/naps.
8. I think my coffee was too strong this morning. My heart is racing.
9. Baby boy won't let me breathe at night anymore. I have yet to find a position that helps my poor lungs not feel like they're being crushed.
10. I bought a dress from Pink Blush this weekend to wear to my sister's shower! Yet another reason to be excited about it. I didn't think I was going to have an excuse to buy any cute maternity clothes this time around.
1. I'm extremely tired today
2. Did not sleep well last night
3. SO was being a major butt last night, hurt my feelings and made me sob like a baby.
4. We have our first birthing class tonight from 7-9:15pm.... zzzZzzzZzz
5. I ate mcdonalds for breakfast and will be eating it again for dinner on our way to class.. no shame.
6. I have a ton of farewell parties to plan at work and its exhausting
7. I am flying home for my baby shower this weekend and very excited to see my family.
8. Everything on my body is swollen and 3x its normal size
9. I hurt everywhere and if my feet could talk they would curse me for the weight they're carrying
10. Did I mention SO is a butthead?
2. I FINALLY got the new harness forOne of the dogs yesterday and it's awesome!!!!!
3. I'm sort of sad that I'm still always cold, I was expecting to be warm all the time while pregnant
4. I got a massage yesterday!!!
5. The crazy high pressure sales massage lady got me and I signed up for their monthly massage membership for a year
6. I wonder if they will let me cancel that membership
7. Our curling team won in the first round of playoffs on Sunday! We will likely lose next week though
8. I really like my Tuesday night curling team, but this league doesn't have playoffs
9. My parents are visiting this weekend!
10. I am a shameless registry checker. DH got to decide that we were team green so knowing all they baby gifts ahead of time is my reward for playing along
2. Our contractor says he can knock out two bathrooms in 1-1.5 months so we are going to try to get it done before May. Looking for short-term sublets is kind of fun since I never expected to apartment hunt again this soon since we bought our place less than 2 years ago.
3. I just ordered balloons to be delivered for DS's birthday on Sunday. I might be more excited about them than he will be.
2. We have officially painted every room in our house! Our master feels so fresh and open now that the walls are a light blue and tray ceiling is white (Shrek green walls and a brown ceiling weren't very inviting....) it feels so good to have that done before LO arrives!
3. I'm in nesting mode too, channeling that energy into rearranging furniture to open up a room for DS big boy room. Using an existing double bed, dresser and nightstand so now time to clean the carpet then decorate!
4. Crotch ache. Ugh.
5. I've been eating like a teenager. Afraid of the scale.
6. I've ended sessions with two clients in the past week and really hope this small scale back helps at work. I feel so stretched!
7. Tons of family time lately, it has been nice to have visitors rather than be traveling a lot!
8. 25 days until Florida! Bikini bump won't be pretty but oh I'm looking forward to it.
9. Mom guilt sneaks up on me...thinking about how time with DS as only child is limited makes me weepy!
10. Hmmm...I want one good snow storm to wrap up winter. Maybe that's an opinion for Thursday!
1. My shower is set for April 30th
2. I get the day off and we are finally painting the nursery tomorrow
3. I have an appointment for a massage on Friday!
4. All of our parenting/birthing/breast feeding classes are booked
5. Always hungry Always tired.
On that point I think I'll go get me some breakfast!
2. Like many of you, I slept terribly last night. I hate that this is the new norm.
3. I finally got DH to sit down and review the pre- and post-baby budgets with me. I'm happy we're on the same page and very thankful that I can take off the rest of the year once baby comes.
4. My knee discomfort is still irritating but is improving greatly the last few days. I went to physical therapy yesterday which seemed to loosen it up a bit, so I plan to do that for the next few weeks and hope to get full range of motion back.
5. Between the knee-induced limp, the pregnant waddle, the back and hip pain, and the swollen feet and ankles, I am quite uncomfortable a lot of the time.
6. I need to choose a newborn photographer.
7. And a pediatrician.
8. I can't believe it's already March. Just two months until baby month!
9. DH sometimes gets discouraged when I say baby is moving a ton and then he's unable to see/feel anything. I think the movements are still muted by the anterior placenta, but happy he's felt it a few times anyway.
10. I better go knock out some of this work.
2. Coffee
3. Coffee
4. Repeat six more times.
I couldnt sleep at ALL last night and I'm so tired. Between restless legs, heartburn and a million things on my mind, I might as well have just stayed up and done something productive all night. Oh well, must power up so that DD is entertained until DH gets home...in eight hours.
2. I actually got sleep last night!! I took a nice pre-bed nap from 730-9 and then slept another 6 hours overnight. It felt like a gift.
3. My good, well-rested mood was dampened when I got to work by an email from someone who, in response to my question, sent me a bunch of snippet boxes of information (that I could already see) instead of using actual WORDS. And he copied my boss and his boss. Problem is, he highlighted all the wrong information and kind looks like a jackass now. Since we were using pictures and not words, I sent back a few snippet boxes of the info he actually needed to correct....along with some explanation.
4. Yesterday I was reading TB and someone mentioned nachos, so I made nachos for dinner last night. Today someone mentioned McDonald's, and now I want that too. The power of suggestion is real.
5. I've become a registry checker too. At first it was unintentional, as I was still adding/removing stuff so I was in the site as things were being purchased. Now it's just fun
6. Right now our company music station is playing "call me maybe." I detest this song.
7. I read so many comments online last night from people who are saying that they are voting for Trump in the primary because they don't want Hilary for President. This bothers me because people don't seem to understand that in the primary the contest is not between Trump and Hilary but rather between Trump and the other GOP candidates. I can't wrap my head around people declaring that a primary vote for Trump is a vote against Hilary.
8. I scored a Kiinde bottle/breastmilk warmer on Amazon for almost half off
9. My admin is on vacation next week and I can't wait to not have to listen to her. She also unveiled her "two year plan" to leave her job and we're all hoping she escalates it to a 6 month plan.
10. I got a nice dress from Pink Blush for my shower. It hides the cankles. I got a dress from Destination Maternity first but it looks horrendous on me. I'm hoping their return policy is friendly.
1) I actually slept the last two nights straight through. But I haven’t pooped since Saturday. Fair trade off I think!
2) I didn’t think I would be sad about not having a shower, but it’s starting to upset me. I feel like I am missing out. I also didn’t have a wedding shower, so doubly missing out L
3) Is it just me, or has time come to a complete stop? May seems sooooooo far away. Even DH is saying how far off it feels, and he wishes she would just get here already.
4) Hoping that the glider is delivered so we can build it this weekend. I am really anxious to see if it fits in the room ok or not!
5) Bought frames and paint yesterday so I can finally hang prints in the nursery. It’s all coming together
6) Dr appt tomorrow. I am not nervous about baby at all. I am more nervous she is going to tell me I am over a 40 pound weight gain already.
7) My assistant looks like hell today. She “didn’t sleep”. I told her “welcome to my life. Go get a coffee”. Sorry, not sorry, but I have no tolerance anymore for people that don’t sleep because they were out all night.
8) Have lunch plans with a “friend” this weekend that I haven’t seen since July. Every time we make plans she bales. A part of me wants to cancel so I can just veg on the couch all day on Saturday but I would feel guilty.
9) Baby doesn’t move much at all when I am at work. But when I get home, its Dance Party time. Every day. It makes me laugh. I think she just doesn’t like working as much as I don’t like working.
10) Still debating taking the 1st year off with her. But worried about finding a job after that time. It also makes me nervous not saving for retirement for a year or making any money to contribute to the household income. It is just too much to think about right now though.
I would feel weird about it now. And I still wouldn't want her idea of a shower. She has no concern if my friends can make it so it would be me, her and her old lady friends. I just wish my friends would take more of an interest. I have so called friends that haven't contacted me once this whole pregnancy to ask how I am doing. Now I am just ranting, but I have been holding that in for a while!
2. Our crib comes next week. Yeah! My H will be out at work, so I'll wait for another week until it's set up.
3. My shower is on March 20. I'm more excited to see the gifts people pick out that aren't on our registry. I didn't register for any clothes and not many toys thinking that people like to do their own thing with those types of gifts. However, I'm hoping there are no ugly clothes that I have to pretend are cute. I don't have a good poker face!
Only time for 3 things today. Remember.. I'm going to be productive!
Addendum: Super Tuesday... I've never been so scared in a presidential election in my life.
2. Made my appointment for the rhogam shot for next Tuesday and our OB Tour is later that night.
3. Jacqueline is moving so much these days. Feeling her has changed so much this past week. Instead of just small kicks or my belly moving, I can feel her roll over and certain body parts. Dh felt her the other night and he said " Im pretty sure I felt individual fingers"
4.@lionstigersbears Yes to the crotch pain. Last night everything was so sensitive I had to go commando. Of course DH didn't mind
5. I think the next 3 months are going to fly by. Two weeks until baby moon, 2 showers, a work shower, a concert and my birthday all in April, then its May!
6. That being said I feel so behind on getting everything for her. I know I will get a ton of stuff at my showers but I want it now! lol
7. My MIL is driving us crazy. When we bought our house almost 2 yrs ago, we decided we wanted to put in a kitchen island. Cool but in no way a necessity. MIL basically forced FIL to build us one and now its done except for the countertop. But now that it is out of their garage, she has moved onto finding someone to clean up our front yard (its not pretty and had gravel everywhere so grass doesn't grow in certain places). She is convinced that this is what we need and it making calls for us. We would rather you spend the money on a countertop for the island that you had to build us. I know she's just trying to help, but you would think she would ask us what we wanted the money spent on...guess not.
Sorry its kinda long and ranty.
2) Case in point: Last night I made pork and shrimp lettuce wraps. YUM
3) Second case in point: I'm having leftover jambalaya for dinner tonight
4) I'm kind of a foodie
5) My dog has taken to barking like a crazy animal in the middle of the night; I think squirrels are coming on the deck. How do I stop this behavior?!?
6) Supposed to have birthing class tonight but DH is out of town, so we are going to make up the session another time. It's the class where we learn about massage! We BETTER make it up!
7) I've got a huge presentation March 13 and I'm working like crazy. I CAN'T WAIT for March 14
8) I'm getting tired of wearing the same thing all the time but I don't want to spend $$ on maternity clothes anymore.
9) I am oddly energized these days. I think all the walking I do helps in that regard. When DH is home he takes care of some of the dog walking.
10) I tried to vote this morning and the lines were so long I couldn't stay (THANKS Donald Trump). I'm going to return after work because voting is very, very important to me.
DS: Born 5-17-16
2. Glucose test was yesterday. Results should be in Friday or Monday and they basically said no news is good news. I just hate having to wait until then.
3. As some others have said before.... I actually liked my drink. I got the fruit punch one and kinda wanted more after the first one.
4. The rhogam shot sucks or more like getting a huge needle shoved in your hip sucks. My side is still slightly sore. I really hope this baby has a negative blood type so I don't have to do it again... Not that I'll actually care by that point.
5. Found out some things on the shower front and it makes me pretty excited. I'm getting one at home and then at work. I'm not really supposed to know as these are supposed to be 'surprises' but what I do know makes me happy.
6. I've already had to walk up 2 flights of stairs today. Why? Bc DH and I got stopped by the new security guy at the top of the stairs and DH didn't have his work badge today. So we had to walk all the way back down, I had to 'vouch' for him so he could get a visitor badge, and then walk all the way back up. I know the guy is just doing his job, but OMG it was 8 in the morning and I really could have done without the extra stair walking. I almost took the elevator back down, but I had to escort DH to get his badge since he might not actually work here...
7. I also got scolded bc my badge was in my bag and I wasn't wearing it around my neck... He made me put it on in front of him. Security is important folks.
8. Just those 2 things made me want to just walk out the door and go home when I got downstairs the first time, but we were followed so we kinda had to stay. I might ask my lead if I can work from home after lunch. People are annoying.
9. All of my appointments from now until after baby are now made and all of my payments for labor and delivery have been made. Yay!
10. I had cookies at home in the fridge that I really wanted to bring today and I forgot them. Probably the main reason I actually want to go home. Or I can just buy more and have extra.
2.) Defiantly did not want to return to work today.
3.) I took my snoogle with me to my MIL for the weekend, and realized too little to late that I forgot it there... leading me to break down in tears.
4.) Hubby gave me money to go get another; because pregnancy has lead to me becoming a spoiled brat.
5.) So ready for Spring Break next week
6.) I am becoming increasingly more uncomfortable each day, and feel like all I do is complain... which sucks because I'm normally a very happy not much to complain about kind of person.
7.) I'm LOVING how active babygirl has been lately; I find when she kicks hard enough it makes me giggle with joy.
8.) Can't believe how in love I am with this little person I have yet to meet
9.) COFFEE.... TODAY IS A COFFEE DAY.
10.) Since I played hooky yesterday today is technically my Monday... I have a bad case of the Monday's today.
2. Neither DH nor I felt like cooking last night, so we ordered pizza. Going to pick it up felt like a humongous chore. Next time I'll just pay the six bucks in delivery fees and tip!
3. The pizza was amazing though.
4. We're spending the next few weeks painting most of the rooms in the house (well, DH is doing most of it). Picked out a nice soft peach color for the nursery
5. DH read that fabric softener is good for stripping wallpaper, but doesn't realize that laundry detergent and fabric softener are two separate things. And won't listen to me when I explain it to him.
6. Glucose test on Thursday
7. Yesterday there was cake at work and lots of leftovers, so I grabbed myself a slice and wrapped up one to take home to DH. Then I ate both slices.
8. Shower is in less than three weeks. And yes, I'm totally stalking the registries.
9. Two words.. FULLER. HOUSE.
10. I should really get back to work!
2. I sometimes think I am so eager to please that I just happily chirp that I am fine whenever anyone asks even if I feel like death warmed over. I hope I can actually tell my OB that I am feeling crappy.
3. Then again, I am unsure if what I am experiencing is just normal 3rd tri symptoms that I didn't get to have last time due to the complications.
4. I am exhausted!
5. And hungry. But nothing sounds good.
6. I am being a grumpy pants today.
7. We have so much to do before Baby Luna arrives, but it seems like nesting just never happened for me. I have no motivation and MH seems less than enthused as well.
8. The only reason I look forward to coming into work is, without fail, someone comments on how great I look. I have lost 35lbs this pregnancy and I do look a lot slimmer, especially in the face. My cheekbones are actually defined and it looks like I contour (which I most definitely do not). You can actually tell that I have Native American blood in the high cheekbones and more prominent nose since the fat around my cheeks and chin have melted away. Compared to what I looked like at 31 weeks when I was pregnant with my son, I look like a completely different person. I was so swollen and puffy last time that it is startling to see my face look like it did when I was a lot thinner in high school.
9. As long as I am sitting at my desk, everything is good. Once I need to get up, I fall apart.
10. I have no idea what to make for dinner tonight. It is just me and my son so he would be happy with cereal and fruit so that may be the plan.
1. I feel like my bump grew overnight. It's getting really big. And uncomfortable.
2. Last Wednesday & Thursday we had blizzard conditions and snow days. Over the weekend it was beautiful and got up to 61* on Sunday and melted all the snow. Today we have rain turning to freezing rain/sleet/snow. Michigan weather is always unpredictable!
3. I started lurking the 3rd trimester board a few nights ago...tons of entertainment value over there!
4. Harper's movements have gone from feeling just the strong punches/kicks to feeling her anytime she moves/rolls/adjusts. It's definitely a cool but weird feeling. My Husband's younger brother asked a few weeks ago if it feels like I have an alien in my belly and now it actually kind of does feel like that. She's was going crazy this morning at 6:30! I love the movements.
5. Sunday was our dog's five year puppiversary of being adopted into our family so he got some of our steak dinner leftovers. Well, needless to say it didn't agree with his stomach at about 4am and he got out of our bed and was heaving so I of course jumped up to let him outside so he could eat some grass. I told him he wasn't coming back to bed with us, because he was just going to throw up the grass - which he did and Husband cleaned it up when he woke up. But I had two thoughts during it all: 1) my dog is preparing my for nighttime feedings, except I don't think feedings will be as crazy and 2) if I had an alarm clock that sounded like a dog heaving and about to throw up I would NEVER be late for anything because nothing wakes me from a dead sleep and makes me jump out of bed quicker than that sound. Husband of course slept through it all.
6. Anyone else have to deal with Navient for student loans? I hate them so much. Last month my payment jumped up $700+ and there's no way I can afford to squeeze an extra $700 out of my budget on top of what I was already paying, so I filed for a repayment plan. They still haven't approved it almost 3 weeks later and now that I'm a month behind on my payment because I can't afford it, they're calling me twice a day to collect. Maybe, a-holes, if you did your part and approved my repayment plan I could start paying you again! One of these days I'm probably going to have to answer that phone call and talk to them about this repayment plan. Student loans are the worst. Especially with Navient.
7. My sister from Alaska is flying in for a long weekend for my baby shower on April 2nd! I'm super excited.
8. A friend in our circle that I'm not super close with is also having her baby shower the same day as mine, and a few of my friends RSVP'd to her shower before receiving my invitation. I'm not upset and totally understand. They texted me this morning and want to get together to have a mini shower since they won't be able to make it to mine.
9. My MIL dropped off a small loaf of banana bread yesterday and I already ate about 1/3 of it last night. It's so good.
10. I'm ready for spring. I'm done with the snow and cold, even though I feel like this winter has been pretty mild for us. I just want some sunshine, decent temps, and flowers in bloom.
2. The stuff outside I want to get done by the end of March are : build the last of the flower beds, suck up and shred all the leaves that we didn't get to suck up and shred in the fall up (flower bed has to be done first though, since the shredded stuff will get tossed into the flowerbed to break down into dirt). Have hubby fix the chain saw and finish disposing of the tree we cut down in the fall... and then the chainsaw died.
3. Baby girl is getting more active and that makes me happy, except at 1 am when she is keeping me awake
4. I'm obsessed with Tropical Smoothie Cafe at the moment... and their peanut butter cup smoothie.
5. I'm still behind with my reading for work, but I'm getting kinda meh about it and can't bring myself to care as much as I should
6. I switch branches in less than two weeks... and I wish it was sooner. I'm getting tired of people thinking it's funny to call me a traitor for switching to a different location.
7. Today is display changing day.... but I haven't actually changed any displays, and it's more likely going to be a display changing week because... I just don't see me getting it all done today. I just don't.
8. I'm finding it harder to be comfortable sitting down because baby girl likes to dig into my ribs.
9. Dr Seuss's birthday is tomorrow! WOOOOHOO!
10. I had a mom tell me today that I'm the only librarian her son behaves for in storytime. She has decided he likes my voice since he'll start dancing when I talk.
2. Lots of extra dumb emails in the rescue inbox today. Hooray. Nothing dims my view of humanity like doing rescue emails.
3. I'm looking forward to taking a maternity break from my Unpaid Inbox Monkey dog-rescue "job" way more than I am from my actual job(s).
4. I am also looking forward to so many schadenfreude lols as the Super Tuesday results roll in. This year's primary has been such a dumpster fire of disastrous hilarity. At some point it'll probably stop being funny but I'm not there yet.
5. Should probably head down to HR and figure out the maternity leave situation today. Guess I'll go try to knock that out this afternoon.
That's it for me, I've only got five things this week.
2. The primary thing I'm complaining about lately is sciatica (although I'm not sure it is definitely sciatica vs PGP/SPD). I had to leave early on Friday because I was in so much pain. I am limping and hobbling around at a snails pace. I went to a chiropractor and it did not help. I'm doing my best not to let it get me down and continue to do as much walking and moving as I can. Luckily my dogs have been pretty good about picking up my cues and walk at a slower pace with me.
3. I'm starting to feel a bit of nostalgia/mourning for our life as it is now. At the dog park this morning I realized that it won't be long before my H and I won't be taking the pups to the park together because I'll be home with a newborn. I'm so so excited for the next chapter but I'm glad to have a bit more time to turn the page on this one.
4. Feeling a little stressed because our apartment building was sold and it looks like the new owner will not be renewing anyone's lease which means we will probably have to move when ours is up in July. I'm going to do my best to negotiate a 6 month extension so that we can move in January instead, hopefully I can play on their sympathies since we'll have a tiny baby.
5. Moving was always inevitable because it's a one bedroom but I assumed it would be on our terms. Welp, we all know what happens when you assume.
6. I am feeling very grateful for my job and my boss. I had a great talk with her this morning and I can start my post-maternity leave schedule working from home Mondays & Wednesdays whenever I want. I am also free to start my leave at 38 weeks if I want or only work from home at that point until I go into labor or come in to the office if I'd rather. I'm really lucky that they are so flexible and supportive.
7. I watched a lot of movies this weekend. I really liked The Good Dinosaur even though I remember some folks posting that they didn't. It definitely felt like a movie for adults and not kids.
8. I'm really excited to eat my lunch today. I've been ordering pre-made salads with our regular groceries from Fresh Direct and they are really good - and cheaper than eating out. Today I've got a southwestern chicken salad, yum!
9. My BIL came over to "help" my H put together the dresser/changing table on Sunday but ended up doing the whole thing himself pretty much. It's so exciting to finally have something ready for the baby.
10. I can't believe it is March!
2. I thought my heartburn wasn't going to be as bad this pregnancy....until 3rd tri hit.
3. I also did not sleep well last night. I tossed and turned until 1:30-2 and finally fell asleep sometime after that.
4. I broke down and bought a Yeti tumbler. Best purchase ever! The ice never melts, which means I can fill it up and have ice cold water in the middle of the night and right when I wake up!
5. DD was being a turd this morning but when I was dropping her off at school she gave me a hug and said "I'm sorry for not being a good listener, mommy." So I went to my car and cried a little.
6. This weather is driving me crazy! It was beautiful this weekend, today it's cold and rainy, and tomorrow night it's supposed to
snow.
7. I keep dropping hints to my parents hoping they'll offer to buy the double stroller we want.
8. I spend at least half of my morning deciding what I'm going to eat for lunch. I could just pack my lunch, but every time I do I still end up buying lunch because whatever I brought doesn't sound good.
9. We need a lot of little stuff before baby is born, but every time I'm at the store I forget everything we need. I can't just bring myself to write it down!
10. I'm pretty sure baby is still transverse. According to spinning babies, transverse position gets more concerning after 30 weeks. One more thing for me to worry about!
2. It's March. I will be having a baby NEXT month. Eek!
3. DD#1 is going away for spring break with her grandparents and cousins. My pregnancy hormones can't handle her being gone for a week.
4. This morning I was thinking about my wedding anniversary. It's 2 months after I have the baby. I need a night out/ alone with my hubby and not being pregnant!
5. My belly button has been hurting. I never experienced this with my first.
6. I've actually been getting some good sleep the last 2 nights.
7. I'm going on my daughter's field trip next week. I hope I can handle all the walking. The easiest tasks are getting so difficult.
2. I am so over looking for cute maternity clothes that are decently priced.
3. The onlt thing to do on vaca was eat I don't dare look at the scale.
4. Babyshower is march 19th. This month eek!
5. I get to see my best friend who is also du e in may for her babyshower this month. She lives out of state and haven't seen her since I was 18 weeks now 27 4.
6. I cried at the zoo in fl because I was not allowed to take the safari bus arobd the african animals.
7. I slept like crap last night.
8. I still want all things sweet all the time.
9. It needs to just be spring already.
10. I wish baby would move just a touch more thab she has been.
2. Playing up my bump big time to try to get excused. So far it's working.
3. I had such bad nightmares last night but couldn't remember exactly what I had dreamt, just woke up at 4am with horrible anxiety and couldn't sleep again until 5-something.
4. Since I'm not getting another ultrasound I wonder how my OB will be able to tell how baby is positioned?
5. Baby has had hiccups a few times and I've felt it low in my abdomen so I'm guessing this means he's head down - hope he stays that way!
6. We are almost all set with baby gear but have not figured out our nanny vs daycare situation and I'm majorly stressed about it.
7. I just ordered a hot air brush and I'm so pumped to try it. Does anyone else use one of these? I have high hopes!
8. I've also reached my breaking point with buying maternity clothes and at some point am just going to be down to 4-5 work outfits and rotate them until I go into labor. Sorry, coworkers.
9. My shower is this weekend! Mainly excited because my two best friends are coming in for it.
10. Husband goes out of town for work for 2+ weeks soon and I'm nervous I'll have a pregnancy scare during that time and he won't be around. Fx baby is well-behaved while he's gone.
