It's freakin' freezing out!!! Goodbyeeeeee Summer!

How was everyone's weekends? Mine was good, very relaxing.. got a lot done at home that I needed to do!

Mooooorning!

So, we told the IL's on Friday night (gave them a sweet pea, which MIL then proceeded to eat, "oh dear" "what?" "you just ate your grandbaby") and it went well. FIL started tearing up! So not expected. MIL was pretty good, she did say "I knew it!" but was good about it.

However, apparently I've now lost m identity. For the rest of the time we were there they only referred to me as "mommy" or "momma", no "Andrea". I find this rather annoying. Just because I'm growing your first grandchild doesn't mean I'm no longer myself.

Sunday H and his BFF rode their bikes from Oshawa to Brampton (95km) in about 4.5 hours. Their doing the Ride to Conquer Cancer next June, so that was a training ride for them. H realized he needs to put in more time on the bike!

Other than that, I'm glad it's not Monday. I think the exhaustion is starting to hit. Other than that I feel pretty good. I don't really feel like eating much, which is odd for me, so maybe that's a symptom.

I know! I can't believe how cool it is. I love the cool fall weather though. I had the windows open all day/night yesterday to air the house out. It was wonderful. I actually got to wear a hoodie to work today and I love it. So comfy!

My weekend was good. DH organized the basement while I emptied out our guestroom because we're starting renovations next weekend. I cleaned a lot and started reading Eat, Pray, Love. Great book, I love it! It was an uneventful successful weekend. The next 2 weekends are so busy for us (Family reunion this weekend, our anniversary weekend next) so it was nice to have a weekend at home to relax and clean.

Glad to hear you had a great weekend rocky! did you end up baking anything? I was going to make Zucchini Bread but I got so busy cleaning by the time I thought of it it was too late and I had forgotten to buy eggs. lol

Megs - Sorry to hear about your championship game Sad That sucks! I'm glad your move went well though, despite the horrible humidity and heat. Did you have a good long weekend? Or extra long in your case lol

Raynes - How are you feeling? Did you guys end up telling your inlaws and if so, how did it go? (Edit - You beat me too it!)

That actually made me laugh out loud!!!

I would definitely be annoyed that I no longer have a name. Hopefully the novelty will wear off soon! 9 months of that would be awfully annoying..

Karrot - I made a devils chocolate cake with buttercream icing on Sunday. Didn't end up making muffins, hello lazy! lol

That's too funny! That made me laugh! That sounds like something my Mom would do too. Too funny! Although I can definitely see how annoying it would be to never be called by your name. Yes you're a mommy, but you don't have a baby in hand yet, so talking in 3rd person is lame. "So how's mommy today?" "Well since you asked Mommy is stabby because you call her Mommy!" lol

I can already tell you what my biggest pregnancy pet peeve will be.. people touching my belly! I have a HUGE problem with this. Complete strangers will touch pregnant bellies. I am going to have to make shirts that say "do not touch" on them lol

OMG yes. Already MIL and FIL are touching my belly and talking to baby. WTF? I'm just BLOATED PEOPLE!!

Karrotelle · September 2011

I think it's really rude and inappropriate for strangers to touch pregnant woman's bellies period but especially without asking. I definitely have zero tolerance of it. If someone asks me, I'll say no. It's weird and I don't want strangers touching me. Period.

One lady did this to my sister while we were shopping and my sister said "I'm not pregnant, just fat" and the woman looked horrified, mumbled sorry and walked away. My sister WAS pregnant, but not that pregnant so she did kind of just look fat. Her theory was that that woman will probably remember that moment and stop to think before she touches another pregnant woman's belly without asking. Maybe she wouldn't ever do it again and that's a good thing in our books.

rocky_star · September 2011

Hahaha Karrot that's a great tactic! I really don't see why complete strangers find this acceptable!! I will always say NO when people ask if they can touch, aside from family/friends because I know it's inevitable. At least wait til I'm showing, not just bloated. lol

Karrotelle · September 2011

lol Exactly! It's creepy!

rocky_star · September 2011

Couple people announcing BFP on TTGP today.. makes me want it THAT much more. I am just a super impatient person, I want it to happen the first or second time not the 11th! Ahh Karrot, I hope this is our cycle!

Karrotelle · September 2011

Oh I hear that. This cycle is our 7th and it's been the longest one yet. I feel like we had great timing this time so I'm so hoping this is it for you & me! I want our BFP's to me in that list of May due dates! When DH and I were cleaning out our guestroom (which would be the nursery) I broke down and cried yesterday. I didn't imagine it would ever take us so long (who does) and it was hard to imagine the room as a guestroom and not a nursery. I didn't/don't WANT to imagine it. I'm an impatient person like you and I want things yesterday and I hate that this is beyond our control. The OCD in me is raging lol

rocky_star · September 2011

Actually I think mine would be early June depending on how long my cycle is this month! Aww, I totally understand the frustration, 7 cycles is a long time and once you start approaching the 1 year mark it gets harder and harder. I hope this is your cycle. It sucks that we can control SO much except for this! I'm slightly OCD as well, so I'm pretty much dying lol

Karrotelle · September 2011

Mine would be May 24th. Which is kind of funny because my two nephew's are December 24th and March 24th and my newest niece/nephew that's on the way is due April 24th. Our family likes the 24th! lol

rocky_star · September 2011

That's my brother's birthday! We have a lot of May babies in our family so June is probably better anyways.. lol damn I just found out about a stupid trip I might have to take for business at the end of the month. I REALLY don't want to go, I wonder if I can get out of it somehow..

Karrotelle · September 2011

lol I've been trying to think of how I'm going to cover my ass if I do get a BFP this cycle. We are going on a day trip to a Vineyard with friends on the 17th. Don't know how I'm not going to drink there. If I cancel they'll be suspicious and sad. I don't want to cancel so I might have to fess up right away to them. They're our best friends so I'm okay telling them if I have to.

Where would you be going? Play sick lol

rocky_star · September 2011

I guess you'll have to figure that out if/when you get there! (Hopefully you do)

Ottawa. BOOO!!! Normally it's not so bad because another girl I work with goes with us so I have her as a buffer between me and my boss, but she's on maternity leave so it would just be me (although he hasn't actually told me I have to go yet). I'm making a list of ways to get out of it, ie. previous obligations

If I am KU this cycle, I really wouldn't feel comfortable going away so early in the pregnancy anyways, if anything bad happened and I was in Ottawa it would be SO much worse!

Morning ladies,

You all know about my weekend from the last post I made so I won't repeat myself and bore you Stick out tongue My long weekend has been extended. I'm off again today. My poor boss got stuck in Barrie last night. His truck blew the water pump. Then to make things worse, he finds out that there's more wrong with his truck that he thought and the parts needed aren't in Barrie so they have to get them elsewhere AND there was a fire in the hotel him and his fiance are in so they had to evacute. I'm feel bad for him, he's such an awesome boss and guy.

Anyways, Raynes, glad it went well with the IL's. I also LOL'd with your MIL eating their "grandchild".

I think I would be pissed with strangers touching my belly ESPECIALLY without asking. Family/Friends, it's expected and that won't bother me. HEHE I like the "I'm not pregnant, I'm fat" comment! TOO funny!

rocky_star · September 2011

Megs, that's terrible about your boss! Talk about bad luck..

Ugh, I'm over today. I have a dinner date with my bff waiting for me after work.. is it the weekend yet?

Karrotelle · September 2011

Wow megs your boss has some terrible luck!

I'm done with today too rocky. I'm very irritable today. I know it, but I can't help it so everyone is pissing me off today.

rocky_star · September 2011

I just want to curl up in my pjs with a blanket on the couch lol

Want a personalized experience?

Happy Tuesday?
