1) The university I work at had its annual Fall Fest today which means really long lunch break, free stuff, free lunch, and general goofing around with my coworkers!
2) Without going into too much detail, I successfully set boundaries with my in-laws and nobody's feelings were hurt! (they wanted to stay with us for 4-5 days right before AND after Thanksgiving to watch DH's performances. I said they needed to pick one cause that's too much/too stressful) Big deal for me because I feel like I'm a people pleaser generally - and credit also to MIL for taking it so well.
3) Next appointment is next Thursday (12w 1d), and after that we're finally gonna tell friends and extended family. I'm kinda over keeping this pregnancy a secret!
4) We're halfway to October, which means cooler weather is (hopefully) coming!
1) I had 2 breakfast tacos this morning 2) I'm drinking Chik-fil-a sugar filled Lemonade right now as we speak 3) We saw our little nugget's heartbeat yesterday and I'm still on cloud 9 4) We finally get to watch Captain America Civil War tonight with some cheesy nachos 5) Its Fridayyyyyy!
Got all my work done ahead of time this week, so today is basically me chillaxing all day at my desk.
Partner is hanging with a buddy tonight and my bestie is busy, so I get the night to watch Buffy and eat lots of cheese (partner is lactose intolerant so that's rare). Pants will not be worn, cookie dough will probably be consumed.
Finally tried a nearby cafe's pumpkin soup after ogling it all week. IT WAS DELICIOUS.
Folks are coming to visit next weekend!
Gonna see a cute silent film tomorrow and a terrifying Polish horror film early next week. MOVIES.
I agree its hard to set boundaries with the in-laws. When my 2 year old was a baby, my husband would always give me crap "you're just saying that b/c its my parents!". Its like noooo, I would say the same to mine!
1) Got off early today. 2) Got to take a much needed late afternoon nap. 3) Don't have to work this weekend. 4) Got a babysitter tonight so we don't have to take DS to an all adult birthday dinner for DHs bestie. 5) Said bestie picked my favorite Mexican restaurant for his birthday dinner and I get to pig out on the best pork tacos around.
1. It's Friday! 2. We are going to the Big E tomorrow! (Biggest fair in New England) 3. Big Brother is on tonight! 4. Football all day Sunday! 5. Fiesta at work today which meant 1.5 hour lunch break, tacos and chocotaco for dessert!
