Re: Ten things Thursday!!!
Good morning!
1. Definitely feels like fall; my car said 47 degrees as I drove to work.
2. DH and I went for a walk last night and found a new park in town. I fantasized a little about taking Baby there next summer.
3. My college roommate is in her two week wait TTC, and I'm impatient right along with her!
4. I put a pumpkin on my desk at work
5. Been a little freaked out this week, doubting everything, but trying to stay positive.
6. Nervous but excited to plan a knitting project for Baby
7. So happy to see so many baby announcements on this board!
8. We got a huge new refrigerator in my office, which I'm sure will come in handy if I keep up my trend of getting hungry every 30 minutes. (until/if morning sickness hits...then it can hold my cans of ginger ale!)
9. Wondering what pregnant women have done for thousands of years without all these websites, books, monthly OB appointments, etc. :P
10. Might go to my first college football game this weekend (my school didn't have a team)
First pregnancy - blighted ovum, miscarriage at 10 weeks, Apr./May 2012
Second BFP 9/19/12 - Hoping for our Rainbow Baby!
1. It's my last Thursday on pgal...somebody will have to take TTT over!
2. Was woken up by nausea and painful contractions in the night, but nothing regular...still holding out some hope for today!
3. If not, we get induced tomorrow! Holy crap I'm so ready to meet this little man!
4. I don't know how to keep myself occupied today...I know I need to walk around a bunch.
5. I'm glad DH took today off..I'd go stir crazy alone!
6. Last night we went to one of our favorite restaurants with my parents (stone brewery for you sd ladies) and DH split the brownie sundae.... Omg, so amazing.
7. If you were around a while ago you may remember DH and I got a puppy that died and have since been "borrowing" my parents dog to keep us company until baby came....we gave him back last night. That was sad but also so exciting because it means its time for baby.
8. Sometimes I still can't believe all the sh*t we have been through in the last year. It makes me sad to know some people have worse years than we did.
9. DH is incapable of putting his jackets away...he often has a pile of 3 on the couch...it drives me batsh*t...I told him I'm going to start hiding them, haha.
10. I can't wait to see all the September and October babies who are due to arrive any day now!

Excited for you! Can you believe this week has finally arrived? Part of me wants to volunteer to do TTT, but I don't feel confident enough yet that I'll be sticking around, it's still so early for me. Does someone else want to do it and maybe I can take over in a few months?

Second BFP 9/19/12 - Hoping for our Rainbow Baby!
1. We told DH's siblings and spouses about the baby at dinner last night. My SILs know about our losses and were thrilled for us.
2. We are going out with a group of friends after work tonight and will probably tell them about the baby, since I'm not sure of the next time we'll have them all in the same place.
3. Telling people still makes me very nervous.
4. We were planning to head to my BIL and SIL's place by the water on Saturday, but now it looks like it's going to pour
5. We're having our annual international potluck at work today and I am already looking forward to all the yummy food...though I know I will be full after just a few bites.
6. One of my friends has her anatomy scan for her twins tomorrow. I am so excited for her!
7. I thought last night's Modern Family was just meh.
8. DH and I really need to pick a paint color for our bedroom.
9. I love my new fall candles from Yankee Candle.
10. I have to pee. Again.
Good luck today! Sending you tons of T&Ps!!!
BFP#1 11/12/11 ~ No heartbeat 12/12/11 ~ D&C 12/19/11
BFP#2 3/25/12 ~ Heartbeat 141 4/16/12 ~ No heartbeat 4/25/12 ~ D&C 04/30/12
BFP#3 7/16/12 ~ EDD 3/26/13 ~ It's a BOY ~ DOB 2/26/13
1. I am expecting DS to arrive early, since a lot of Oct moms already gave birth! Gotta pack my bag, gotta pack my bag.
2. Soooo glad I switched OBs a few weeks ago. Doc hugged me yesterday and she even gave me her cell phone at my first visit - said to call about anything!
3. Nesting instinct came late, so I'm making up for it by doing 15 things at once. Not a good idea.
4. Wondering what to get DS as a halloween costume. And DD too. Gotta get that moving too.
5. Have to ask DH to go back up into the attic to search for all the newborn and size 1 diapers I stashed away leftover from DD.
6. I hate the attic, it totally freaks me out.
7. Trying to figure out a way to move a really really heavy TV from what will be my DD's room. My dad can't help DH (shoulder surgery) and I hate asking neighbors.
8. Still can't stop eating. Surprised I only gained what I did with this pregnancy.
9. Have a HS reunion 6 weeks after DS will be born. No idea if I will make it, but really want to. 20 years!
10. I feel really old right now - lol.
M/C Nov 9, 2011 at 11 weeks.... We love you & miss you
1. Congratulations Petunia for being 1 day away from meeting Mr. Raylan. I hope that he comes naturally before having to be induced. But either way I hope it goes smoothly for you
2. I am more than willing to take over TTT although my time on here isn't for too much longer if no one else can do it I definitely will.
3. I have 3 more work days including today til we jump on the plane and head to California
4. I am hoping next week is cool in California, I really want to wear sweaters and leggings
5. Jackson has been kicking all over this week and I love every minute of it
6. From Monday to Tuesday my belly grew and it looks as though I swallowed a Soccer Ball. I will post pics tomorrow
7. I have last minute things to do for our trip and I haven't started. Tomorrow is my only day off until we leave at 6am on Monday, hope I have energy to complete my tasks
8. I have started a count down for Maternity leave and I am only at 28 weeks, although I plan on going on leave around 34-35 weeks
9. Jackson's nursery is pretty much empty still, I am waiting for my creative side to kick in so I can start decorating
10. Fall can't come soon enough, Houston has been warm ALL week and I am over IT

Depends on where you are going - its still in the 90s in Southern California!
BFP #2 - 7/1/12 - Met my lucky charm Alexandra on 3-16-13!!!
1. I am cooking for a friend who had her baby last week. On the menu is hash brown quiche, fruit salad and chocolate eclair cake.
2. DH came home last night with flowers...I just keep looking at them and smiling this morning.
3. I overdid it with errands yesterday and thus feel like a semi raked over my body this morning.
4. I had a horrible nightmare last night that I lost the baby. It's weighing on the back of my mind
5. My sister is doing a photo shoot of our family on Sunday so we can use the pictures for our announcement. It's the only time we all have free for a long while but I don't know when I will actually use the announcement pics.
6. I need to remember too send my old roommate a birthday card today so it gets to her by her birthday.
7. I need to stop biting my nails but I am so nervous all the time about this pregnancy.
8. It's in the high 90s all week. That is not conducive to fall weather and boots/scarf season, which makes me so irritated!
9. Our dinner tonight will be oysters Rockefeller.
10. I'm hungry but too tired from my nightmare to get up and fix the situation.
EDD 1/31/13, MC May 17. EDD 3/31/13, MC July 26. I miss you so much already my angel loves
1. I am so happy for you, Petunia. When I joined the loss board in April, you were such a source of comfort and strength to me. Our stories are similar, and I hope they continue to be.
2. I am crying about how happy I am for Petunia and how much hope I have that we both have healthy rainbows.
3. I had a rough morning - 6 months ago today we discovered our Patricia no longer had a heartbeat.
4. I was alone at the appointment and I had to tell DH over the phone. Now he never misses an appointment, even when we're not getting an u/s.
5. Patricia's 6 month angelversary is Sunday, and I feel like a bad mom because I can't figure out how to honor her.
6. I will be 12 weeks on Saturday, and I am not prepared for the comments I know I'll get about being in the "safe zone"
7. My eyes have been giving me trouble and I am going to see an ophthalmologist today to hopefully get some answers.
8. My dad is a DA and tonight we're going on a tour of our county's new jail. I'm oddly excited and keep making monopoly jokes about "Just Visiting"
9. I need to sort through my maternity clothes this weekend because it's time.
10. I am excited to wear my new Old Navy maternity jeans to work tomorrow!
Also in central
EDD 1/31/13, MC May 17. EDD 3/31/13, MC July 26. I miss you so much already my angel loves
I am so over TX summer. But because I have known it to be in the 90's on Halloween day, I know its not over yet. Come on cool fronts make me wrong!
Yeah I saw that, I am from La Habra and as of right now it might cool off on Thursday or Friday.

Yeah I know, and it was the same when I lived in Southern California so it's not like I am use to having to bundle up but I am very hopeful. We had a nice first few weeks of the month. Who ever pissed off Mother Nature, I would like for them to mend their relationship so she can bring us mid 60-70's.

1. I don't mind doing the TTT since I already do it for my BMB.
2. I can't wait until my a/s next Tuesday when we can find out what this baby is!
3. I have been feeling what I am sure is baby the last few days - like waves/flutters, etc. What a cool feeling!
4. DH has been out of town all week. I will be very happy to see him on Saturday!
5. I did not sleep well last night - seemed to wake up every hour and then lay awake from 1:30-2:30.
6. I have a ton of grading (essays) to do, but feel so unmotivated after a full day of work.
7. Work is still stressing me out. There is no focus and we are being asked to do too much change too fast. I am so happy I get to miss the last 3 months of school this year for maternity leave.
8. I thought I was done with these headaches, but they are back and it makes it so hard to teach when my head is pounding!
9. I really wish Mother Nature would cooperate and send some fall weather this way!
10. My mom and I had dinner and went shopping together last night. It was fun!

1. We still have not moved the office furniture to the basement and I am getting super angry about it.
2. DH said we can go re-organize the basement in a few minutes here to figure out how we are going to fit the office furniture down there.
3. Tomorrow we are having a belated birthday breakfast with my parents for DH's birthday. It was supposed to be last week but IL's screwed up those plans.
4. I feel guilty for yelling at my dog to go in his cage. He deserved it though because he ate out of the trash right in front of me. This would not have a problem if DH would leave the d*mn lid on the trash can.
5. Last night we fell asleep with a window open and fan on...it was freezing when I woke up but I would take that over heat any day.
6. This week I didn't meal plan and our eating has been less than stellar.
7. Picking God Parents for our daughter is such a difficult decision and I hate that no one is really a good fit.
8. After about 15-20 minutes our dog sulked back downstairs very quietly.
9. If DH asks me one more time when the new case for his i phone will be here, I am hiding it when it arrives.
10. I desperately want to re-organize our living room but I know I need DH's help and there are way more things I need help with around the house that are high priorities.

1. This is my first time doing ten things thursday
2. I'm kind of amazed its Thursday already--- the week seemed to go by fast
3. I had a totally pgal day yesterday, but today I'm feeling great and optimistic
4. I'm bumping at work (I'm a teacher) and I have to keep clicking out of here every time someone comes to bother me during my planning time.
5. I should probably use my planning time more effectively- but I'm so darn tired I don't want to do anything.
6. I really want to talk about baby all.the.time. It makes me sad that other people dont know, and/or don't think that this is worth talking about every second of every day.
7. Even though I mostly feel good about this baby, I'm still nervous in a tiny corner of my mind that it's not going to work out.
8. My next ultrasound is next wednesday- that seems like forever away. I'm so hoping to see the heartbeat and have a better sense that its all alright.
9. I don't think baby likes applesauce. ever since I ate that with lunch I've felt like hurling.
10. I'm so thankful to have a place to read/talk/write/think about babies as much as I want to. You ladies are awesome.
This!!!
