It must be a slow work day (GTKY)
LillyGrrl
member
Once again, it's Friday in August and once again work is sllllooooooooowwwww. Our office is moving in October and so there is just clean up going on but my area is clean ('cause I am one efficient ba$tard and my job is practically paperless so...there is that). Anyway as a form of entertainment for me how about so GTKYs?

1. Best thing about pregnancy so far? Basically just being able to hear the heart beat.
2. Worst thing(s)? I feel like the first 16-ish weeks of pregnancy are nothing but worry and annoying. You don't feel well, but no one really can just tell you are pregs, you can't tell that you are pregs except that maybe you don't feel that great, there is no way to really reassure yourself that things are fine, it is just frustrating.
3. What baby items have you already purchased? We don't need much as this is LO#2, but I did pick up some new long sleeve onesies.
4. Who will be in the delivery room with you (if you've thought about it)? DH, my mom and potentially a doula
5. Who will be with you in the weeks after you give birth (mom, MIL, DH only etc) Last time DH was off for about a month, but we won't have that luxury this year. If I go a little early again, I might hit my mom's winter break and she could come up for a couple days. But I really want to take the time to establish my own rhythm with 2 also.

7. What is your favorite curse word? If I could slide it into my regular speech more often, "Bloody!"
8. What profession, other than your own, would you like to attempt? Event Planner
9. What profession would you not like to do? Daycare provider - I am pretty laid back with DD and I know not everyone is, I wouldn't envy someone being with LOs all day and then having to deal with parents also.
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Come on in! Have a margarita

1. Best thing about pregnancy so far?
Just excited that I am growing a little one inside of me!
2. Worst thing(s)?
Nausea, headaches and THE ACNE!!!!
3. What baby items have you already purchased?
Bedding set-it was on sale! And my DH bought a cute onesie after I told him because he was excited.
4. Who will be in the delivery room with you (if you've thought about it)?
Just my husband and me. I don't really want other people there...I have a huge family and I am sure they will be there to visit, but I do not want other people in the room when I deliver!
5. Who will be with you in the weeks after you give birth (mom, MIL, DH only etc)
I am not sure...my DH said he wants to take off at least a week from work and be home after. I am sure my MIL will come around, she is actually very helpful, so I will not mind that too much. I have 2 sisters and 3 brothers, and I am sure at least my sisters will want to stop by a couple days. I will like people to visit and help etc. when needed, but don't want too many people around ALL time.

But I get miagraines just thinking about having people over (mainly family)
