Reasons to smile
It's a very grey and dreary day here, and I have a bit of cranky left over from yesterday. I thought I would try the 'fake it 'till you make it' philosophy and try and find reasons to smile today in hopes that it will help my day be not shiddy.
I'm smiling today because:
I've discovered that black beans can cure all forms of tight bowels/constipation (almost to the other end of the spectrum) and it's nice to have an easy bowel movement.
I have a great sweater dress that is just the right warmth for this weather that I was able to wear today, and it looks kinda cute.
I have been playing Words With Friends all morning at work and I really enjoy the game.
Why are you smiling today?

Re: Reasons to smile
My daughter is doing great with potty training. Now if only I could get her to poop on the toilet.
Me and husband had some mess around time last night and it didn't hurt.
I'm eating taco bell and it's delicious.
I just watched LO's knee move across my belly for over 15 minutes.
We are going to meet a close friend of mine's baby boy, who was born on April 13th. And I get to ask L&D questions
Now what to take there for dinner?
I've had some depression during this pregnancy, and I seem to have come out of it. I had an appointment with a therapyst this morning and she said I didn't have to come back until 6 weeks after baby is born just so she could close things off. Very happy about this!
The sun is shining here, I just had a fantastic tasting sandwich and for once, the soup in the cafeteria today wasn't bland. Add that to the fact that I'm wearing my favourite underwear that doesn't ride or dig into my legs and stomach and things are good in my world!
Now, if I could only have a glass of red wine.....
These are wonderful!
My reasons to smile:
My one pair of maternity jeans were getting pretty tight, probably due to the large amount of pie, red vines and Snickers I eat on a regular basis. I was debating whether to buy another pair in a larger size, but really didn't want to spend the money or take the hit to my ego. My mom brought me a pair of jean capris she grabbed at a garage sale last weekend, and they are nice and loose. So I saved money, and because *I* didn't have to buy them in the larger size, somehow it's ok. So I have nice and roomy jeans to wear again that make me feel like summer is really here.
My new outlook on pregnancy (no more obsessing) has allowed me to get quite a bit of work done at work. I'm very close to finishing a project that's been on my plate for a long time. I really love working on it, but I get sucked in to pregnancy crap and then I don't work on it and it's a cycle. I feel like I've broken free!
My shower is on Saturday at our place, so I'm really looking forward to having people over. I love to entertain and do NOT have the energy to host a party all by myself right now. So it's great that my friend is taking care of all the details, and I just get to help set-up!
I think I'm going to make pumpkin sausage pasta for dinner, which is one of my favorite dinners. Yum!!!

Wonderful thread!
My reasons to smile:
After my shower this weekend we have all the clothes we need for her for the first 6 months!
Im eating a chocolate chip cookie.
Im going shopping for a dress for my maternity pictures after work today.
DH and I had a really good talk about my natural birth plan a couple nights ago and I think he's really starting to understand what it is that I want and why I want it. It takes a lot of pressure off the whole situation.
My reasons to smile:
I'm having a hot chocolate. Not only does it taste good, it feels really good because it's cool out.
My cats are cracking me up chasing each other up and down the stairs.
I get to watch hockey tonight.
My belly cast kit came in the mail, and I'm imagining the mess it's going to make and the fun my husband and I will have trying it this weekend.
A belly cast! That's adventurous!
I can see us having fun with that, too.
I found one leftover cake pop in the company kitchen from the birthday celebration last week. These are the most amazing cake pops ever, and I grabbed it and ran back to my desk. It was like chocolate fudge heaven.
Last night, I played a poke game with Baby. He would POW straight through my belly button with a fist or foot (not sure) and I would poke back. Then he would POW again, and I would poke again. Back and forth for about 10 minutes-it was the first time I can honestly say he was figuring out cause and effect. I couldn't stop laughing. Usually his movements are super random, so it was a lot of fun. I'm kind of hoping we can do it again tonight. I keep thinking about it as the day goes on.
