The coffee hit and I was feeling this thread today, but please someone start tmi Tuesday as well, lol.
I'm in line to get my favorite breakfast sandwich from Dunkin, the 90s on 9 xm station is jamming and I have a short week this week- I leave Thursday for Michigan to watch my little bro get married and I get to see my bffs in my hometown I don't get to see much.
I'm still in a great mood from our successful anatomy scan on Friday and finding out LO is a boy. We also decided on a name (Ender James) and built the crib! So I'm feeling like a really successful mama-to-be today.
Theres 2 weeks of school left, 3 weeks until dance is done ( but we have Nationals ) and then I can finally breathe again! I'm going to make the best of these last few weeks.
DD2 turns 7 Saturday! We'll be going to a different zoo to celebrate. She's bringing a friend so I'll gain more experience keeping tabs on 3 kids .
I actually made a great big breakfast this morning. And ate every last bite.
While the weather is once again chilly and gray, I'm going to blast some music and pretend there's a buttload of sunshine so I can get some stuff done around here.
@bluejeanbabi05 Thank you! It was actually the first name we thought of after finding out I was pregnant, and we were reallyyyy hoping it was a boy so we could use such an epic name. If it was going to be a girl we had no idea on names!
@jessirh I hope you're an Enders Game fan. Love it!
I want to celebrate drinking a pop yesterday, currently drinking one now, and not feeling guilty about it. I'm really missing wine right now so eff it.
Today is my kids' last day of school and I have a babysitter ready to go for the summer (started a month in advance, somehow got about 50 applicants, and finally made a job offer yesterday). Just under the wire but I deserve a trophy!
*Siggy warning - loss mentioned* Preemie ID DDs; then DS; then natural M/C; now due 10/17 High risk for pre-term: weekly Makena injections
i have laid the ground work for operation deck and hot tub. H told me no, but i have him wrapped around my finger. so a few more steps to my "get H to do what i want" program and i am in like Flynn!
My co worker brought us all donuts because all of our math state tests this are this week and these things are stressful! It was SO GOOD.
Also, I haven't cried yet today. I am so weepy for no reason ALL THE TIME. I've been pretty composed for the entire pregnancy so far, but hormones are taking over these last couple days.
@bluejeanbabi05 have fun back in here in Michigan! I hope the weather holds out, it's been kinda wishy washy.
I took PTO today for my doctors appointment and DS allergist appointment... but I'm pampering myself this morning at a pedicure! So trophy high to me cuz I rarely take time for myself!
TTC x 1.5 years.
Acupuncture, Femera x3 cyles, and HSG. BFP in September 2014, DS born June 2015. TTC x2 months. BFP January 2017.
Old Navy had dresses on sale Sunday so I bought two, a maxi skirt, and a plain black shirt (for work). The shirt was also on sale and the skirt was 40% off. Plus free shipping. They got shipped today. I'm really hoping they all fit, especially one of the dresses I bought. I plan on wearing it to a wedding in a couple weeks.
Oh man, I haven't been brave enough to check the weather report yet. She has four hours of pictures planned outside before the wedding. Fortunately the wedding and reception are both inside.
@bluejeanbabi05 it's looking like the weather may be nice! It's been so crappy lately though so who knows. April showers seem to have come a bit late this year. I feel like all it has done is rain.
We are going home to visit this weekend for two whole weeks (and DH got leave approved, so he gets to come)! Excited to see everyone! Also, to be honest I'm excited to eat all the food that we don't have access to anymore since we moved to New England lol. I can't wait for some Zaxby's!
With apologies to any hockey fans in Anaheim, I'm pretty sure the entire city of Nashville is celebrating today because the Predators are going to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time ever! Predicting a LOT of Tennessee babies this winter
@lemonlyman so I'm a huge Detroit Red Wings fan and have never been a Nashville fan but I would love to see you guys go up against Ottawa!! There's nothing like playoff hockey even when my teams not involved. I'm really hoping you aren't up against Pittsburg because I haaaaaaaaate them so much.
I've successfully managed to get dd2 to sleep in her own bed for longer than she sleeps in ours the last two nights. I'm determined to get my bed back before this baby comes.
Also getting back into couponing because summer and 3 kids home all day, I love the feeling of saving money. I'm also being proactive and stocking up on our essentials and staples while they're on really good sales the past week
@dumbledoredies Yay for more hockey fans! I've been a season ticket holder here for several years, but I just learned yesterday that Preds fans throw catfish on the ice because the Red Wings fans throw octopuses (octopi?) and we thought it was cool, so thank you for inspiring one of our traditions, haha We will definitely be watching the Ottawa/Pittsburgh game intently tonight!
@lemonlyman the city of San Jose is also celebrating the fact that Anaheim is out! Obviously the Sharks were out a long time ago, but we just hate the Ducks that much.
So this is also kind of a FFTC. I just had a great appt in Miami, and my next appt isn't until 2, also in Miami. I could and should stop in a few places in the meantime, there's lots of accounts down here I'm very friendly with and should try and hustle for some orders.
However, I'm going to find the nearest Barnes and Noble and spend a couple hours in bookstore bliss instead.
@ksf13 Yay baby furniture! We have a crib and a dresser still sitting in boxes in our downstairs bedroom/baby staging area until we can get the baby's actual room cleaned out. I'm DYING to see them all put together.
@lemonlyman yes, we are the weirdos that throw octopi on the ice. I went to the last game at the Joe (our arena.. so many memories.. I cried so hard) and I think we threw 50ish octopi on the ice (don't worry PETA, they are dead).
I didn't like you guyswhen you had Shea Weber because he's a dick, ex.-
With my AS tomorrow morning, im actually suprisingly calm today. I don't know how I'll feel tomorrow afterwards when I won't know the sex until approximately 8 hours afterwards... but today I revel in the fact I am calm.
@canonmom413 i think your reveal is one of the most exciting to me. you either get a boy...or me. if it is a girl you are literally have me and my sisters with the age and everything! what time zone are you? #askingforafriend
@bluejeanbabi05 yes, real octopi. People put them in their pants to get them into the arena and then throw them onto the ice to get the crowd to go wild. Which we always do. Sometimes Al goes out to get them and waves them around his head -
We are completely barbaric but we aren't sorry. And AGAIN these are all dead.
