I am way to ready for Christmas I am horriable about waiting for gifts so I am known to snoop around to figure out early. My husband and I do Christmas between the two of us on Christmas Eve as Christmas its self is sooo busy so only 5 days but still!! I am thinking of making us reservations at our favorite restaurant that night too as a surprise!
Still no Christmas gift for my husband. Ugh. He's so hard to shop for.
OB appointment this morning. She found her right away and everything looked great. Back in a month for a regular OB appointment and then the following week for our AS at the high risk OB.
I have my amniocentesis appt in about 2 hours. Not gonna lie I'm not looking forward to it but we will know what's going on with the baby at least. Hubby is taking me so he can make sure they don't poke the baby while they're doing it. He's very over the top sometimes.
I hope you ladies are having an awesome holiday season! My hubbies bad little dog ripped open a present this morning! Starting Christmas a little I guess :-)
We are finishing up our reading of The Diary of Anne Frank play in my 8th grade classes. A few times in the play, Anne's family members call her Annele or Anneke a nickname.
THREE students have now accidentally pronounced "Annele" as "anal". It has taken everything in my power not to cackle.

I just want to get through this week as quickly as possible for xmas break next week! I did some last minute shopping today and am officially done. My fiance's bday is the 28th and I ordered him an 80lb punching bag just to make my UPS guy hate me a little more after the constant flow of packages to my house all month.
I forget everything! It's driving me nuts. My dh asked me to wash his work clothes last night and I forgot until he started the washing machine. So frustrating that I can't remember little things that are easy to do.
My boss is out of office this week but his boss is here, and doesn't have his normal flow of meetings due to the holidays, so instead he is asking me questions 24/7. Meanwhile I have 7 straight hours of meetings today and tomorrow bc I have to cover my own and my boss's, oh and also get work done somehow. Fml. At least i have all next week off.
Thinking of you, @Wearmi1. I hope you get good results and quickly.
I need to decide what we are eating on Christmas eve so I can go grocery shopping this afternoon. Nothing sounds good to me except lo mein noodles right now, so it is hard to come up with anything. It is the first year it will be just dh, dd, and I, so I feel like I have to make a tradition for the future, but I ready don't feel like doing any work lol. Maybe ordering in pizza on Christmas eve will be our family tradition.
I just got back from a two week out of state work trip late Friday night. We leave for Bermuda in three days. When we get back from vacation, DH and I will spend one night in NJ with his sister, then he'll head back to MA for work. I'll stay in NJ until New Year's Eve so I can celebrate my Mom's birthday. This all sounded like a great plan originally... Now I'm just tired. I will say being pregnant and going to a beach locale for vacation is pretty liberating. I'm normally a body conscious person. But it doesn't matter how much I've worked out these past few weeks, or what I'm eating before we go. I have a bump and it's only going to be more evident every day, so yes I will eat the gigantic thing of pasta for lunch today and then have homemade mac and cheese for dinner. I could get used to being pregnant when I need to be in a bathing suit...
@berg Same on the bathing suit front. Usually around March/April I start ramping up my diet and exercise for my summer bod. But knowing I'm going to be huge this June/probably not making it to the beach in a bikini with a newborn is nice.
I had an appointment this morning and the student NP found the baby's heartbeat right away, so that was reassuring. The midwife says everything looks good, so I'll go back on 1/18 for the anatomy scan and my next regular appointment all at once. I'm using today and tomorrow to do cleaning, baking, and Christmas gift wrapping that I didn't do all weekend. Wednesday we leave to spend a week with my parents and younger brother.
I am on Christmas break and tomorrow I plan to clean and organize the house. I also want to purge some kids toys to make room for the new ones they will be getting soon.

I water main broke outside my school so we had no water (including bathrooms) after noon. Preschool cancelled for tomorrow since they are not coming until 8:30 to start fixing it, but the rest of the school is staying open. So not pregnancy friendly. I think the other building has bathrooms so we can take the kids as groups over there for breaks, but no way I can have someone watch my class quickly so I could run like I usually do since the bathroom is right across from my room. That would be like a 5-10 minute break so I am sure no bathroom break for me. I might be peeing in a bucket! Sorry for the TMI. Just pissed my school isn't closing and I know tomorrow is going to suck. Done ranting!
Update: After calling the principal, who was clueless, we are closing tomorrow. My bladder is saved!
Today I had my first "wow you are really showing...how far along are you again? Are you sure you have your dates right?" (I'm 12w3d with #2, and this conversation came like 15 min after I finished my pasta alfredo lunch).
um, yes. I'm sure. We literally had sex 1 time in a month and a half because DH had surgery. So there is literally no other possibility of due date. But I'm sure you want to know the details of my sex life, co-worker.
@awillis13 I drop inappropriate information on people like that. I had a coworker ask me why we hadn't had our second yet and it was about the third person that day, we were trying, I was over it, and I just said, "my husband and I are having a lot of unprotected sex. I'll let you know when it works."
@staceymwiggins FTM here... is cold hands/feet a pregnancy symptom? I never thought about it before. My feet have been FREEZING and I can't seem to get and keep them warm for the life of me (the weather in the Northeast isn't helping any)
I know some of this has to do with me being hormonal... but I was definitely not pregnant last year and felt the exact same way... Kids these days are so disrespectful and ungrateful.
I threw a Christmas party for each of my classes so far today... I bought the drinks, treats, and special gift for each student... have Christmas music playing. I have had kids blatantly say, "this is it?" "this sucks..." "why can't we have MORE cupcakes?!?!" "So were just going to sit here and eat? This is a lame party." "So and so is fat... look how fast they ate their stuff."
Like... I do not raise my kids that way. I am just in disbelief. I am trying my best to redirect, but they don't seem to get it AT ALL.
@EmeraldNC what age do you teach? I tried Friday to do something nice for my 6th graders and got flack for it being not fun or they only got 1 candy cane. It wasn't all, but like you said it can be so disheartening seeing that kind of entitlement and blatant rudeness coming from some of our youth today.

@EmeraldNC what age group do you teach? I would love a good Christmas party! Not working this year makes me feel all left out as my husband is doing a secret Santa and that is my favorite work tradition!
I teach 3-5. The kids that were polite and grateful... I made sure to email their parents to let them know what a great job they were doing with their kids!!!
That is just rude, @EmeraldNC. I teach 6th and we have a half day the last day before break. Each year, we do breakfast food and a movie and have only a handful of rude ones over the last 13 years. I do work in a Catholic school though where the weeks before Christmas the kids do jobs to try to earn money for a charity that gives children necessities like food, medicine, etc and they pass a Toys for Tots a million times a day so maybe something has sunk in
Ugh. I was in the grocery store parking lot pushing my cart back to the corral and I hit a pothole and the cart bounced backward and the bar slammed into my stomach, completely knocking the wind out of me. I called my doctor's office and they weren't too concerned (it hit me very high on my belly, probably not near baby), but said I should come in for an ultrasound "for reassurance", so I hope they're just being nice, but I'll be heading there this afternoon.

Im babysitting my cousins two toddlers along with my two today and they Are entertaining eachother quite well which is nice!
My sciatic pain is still so bad I can't walk in the morning then just painful the rest of the day. Going to try and make a chiropractor apt this week.
Exicted for Christmas! I have a sitter coming Wednesday so I can finish shopping for the kids. Other than that I just need to wrap.
DH and I don't do gifts for eachother but we bought a new king bed and bedding which got delivered today! Yay!
