Here's Mine:
1. November will be here in a couple days...I'm stoaked!
2. We are carving pumpkins and making pumpkin seeds tonight.
3. I started having morning sickness at week 9. Touche, m/s, touche...I thought maybe I was lucky enough to not have to deal with it this time.
4. I am 10 weeks today. The double digits seem so much farther along!
5. I really want some raw sushi.
6. I just got a blanket in the mail that I bought through Groupon. It is SO soft!
7. Dish Network sucks. We have had so many problems with it already.
8. I think I will make homemade cinnamon applesauce today.
9. I know I had some super funky dreams last night...luckily I can't remember them.
10. I'm so worried about all those who are dealing with Hurricane Sandy. So scary!

Re: Ten Things Tuesday
1. I am 11 weeks FINALLY! 11 weeks 1 day to be exact...That one day makes a huge difference
2. So ready for November! First, my birthday. Then, Thanksgiving!
3. It has been pretty cold here the past few days and I love it!
4. We went trick or treating Sunday (just to the grandparents) and my niece was coughing quite a bit. Turns out after a doctor visit yesterday she has walking pneumonia! I'm freaking out that DS or myself might come down with this.
5. I made taco soup last night with things I found in my pantry. AMAZING! I actually felt good enough to eat it!
6. I've cut my zofran to one pill a day instead of 2. I feel like this is a huge milestone!
7. I have been completely exhausted today and have found it extremely difficult to keep my eyes open.
8. My husband teaches at a college and one of his students is really mad at him for canceling class because he was sick last week. Turns out this person has been causing lots of issues with his other classes too. He just came home from the military and has PTSD. I lost lots of sleep over this last night. It terrifies me that he might do something. They are having a meeting about what to do with this guy today.
9. I am currently gathering things for a garage sale on Saturday. A garage sale in November! The weather is supposed to be fairly decent.
10. I can't wait for my 12 week appt. on Monday. I will finally get to hear a heartbeat!
1. I made chocolate chip cookies yesterday before the storm really came and I ate like 5...at least
2. I'm anxious for my OB appt on Friday - want to see baby again!
3. I'm liking that this storm has me and my hubby staying at home for 2 days straight!
4. I need to go for a walk - trying to get in a good amount of exercise this week
5. I should probably try to eat better lunches - I had white cheddar puffs and a chocolate chip cookie so far today
6. I'm excited to schedule my NT Scan after my appt on Friday
7. We are going to a wedding on Friday and a bunch of the people know I'm pregnant, so it'll be nice to see them and not have to pretend!
8. It'll be nice staying at a hotel while the dogs are home that night because I'll get to sleep and not be woken up by them!
9. I'm still a worry wart when my symptoms disappear, but try not to concentrate on it!
10. I'm hoping to not have to work tonight even though the weather's much better
1. I love ten things Tuesday. It always makes me smile.
2. I had a dream that my brother and sister showed up at my apartment last night and were chasing each other around my bed fighting about something (can't remember what)... but it was so real, I almost called my sister this morning to ask her why they did that.
3. I am counting down the hours until 4 pm, because I took the rest of this week off, and I am super excited to go home for Halloween!!! My first Halloween home in 7 years!
4. I am hungry and do not want the PB&J that I have for lunch.
5. I would like to take a nap at lunch, but I really need to finish some work stuff...
6. I discussed my plans for after the baby comes with my co-workers today and it went really well! I was worried they would be mad at me for pretty much abandoning them during the summer, but they don't blame me.
7. I think I am going to have Chick-fil-a for dinner on my drive home so that should make up for my boring PB&J...
8. I can't wait to see my nieces and nephews dressed up for Halloween!!
9. My mom and I have started planning out the nursery. I'm starting to get excited about it.
10. It's been so nice having a little more energy lately. I am really hoping that I have moved into that 2nd Tri feeling better stage.
1. 14 Weeks Today! AHHH!
2. I had to present at a conference in San Francisco the other day. The m/s was no fun combined with fatigue and jet lag. I survived and the presentation went well!
3. I was supposed to head to Washington DC tomorrow to present at another conference. The conference was cancelled. I'm totally bummed because the plan was for H and I to spend the rest of the weekend with my Twin Sis and her H to celebrate our birthday (nov 5th)
4. The heat in our house is not working and H and I are swamped right now and haven't had time to deal with it. Instead we've just used the fire place.
5. I'm so convinced this baby is a girl, I'm not sure how I'll react if it isn't!
6. I cooked dinner for the first time in 3 months last night!
7. Props to all of you second, third, etc time moms. It must be difficult to feel like a pile of crap and have to make sure your child/children are fed, entertained, etc. I feel very fortunate that my H can fend for himself and our dog.
8. I'm a Halloween grinch. I just can't get into it.
9. SO many things due this week. My dissertation has been sorely neglected.
10. We haven't done a thing to prepare for the baby. I just can't handle it mentally with everything we have going on.
1. It's my birthday today - my last one as a mom of one!
2. My baby will be 2 in a month! Can't BELIEVE how fast the time has gone and how much he has changed already!
3. We didn't carve any pumpkins this year - there seemed to be no time!
4. I will be 14 weeks tomorrow - that means there are only 13 more pay days till baby comes!
5. I FINALLY get to hear the baby's heartbeat on Nov 1 at my doctor's appointment! Can't wait!!
6. DH has alot of work to do on the house before baby and some days I really worry that it won't get done and we will be living in chaos! He's only been "finishing" the basement for 6yrs now LOL
7. I have NO idea what to get for lunch - which is right now!
8. I have never been a chocolate fan - I am a chip-o-holic - all this baby seems to want is sweets! I crave chocolate and skittles.
9. I am VERY bored at work today!!
10. Thinking and praying of everyone caught in "Sandy" path
1. So Proud of my 1st Grader who made all A's on his report Card.
2. It's finally getting cold in Alabama......I hate cold weather.
3. Going to cook chili for dinner tonight.
4. So glad that this the end of the season for my little league cheerleaders.
5. I'm really want to get rid of ALL the pets in the house(they are just really starting to annoy me)

Married: December 19, 2009
1. I am so excited to have my appetite back and am working very hard at eating healthy.
2. I know DH is a bit bummed about not going to the UF game on Saturday, but I'm secretly glad he's staying home and we're going to go to a seafood festival in the area.
3. I am loving this cold weather we're having-I hope it just stays this way as we move into winter.
4. I cannot wait for Thanksgiving and have been mentally planning our meal for at least a month.
5. I wish I was going to be one of those cute women who are all belly when they are pregnant but I probably won't show at least until December. I'll show but you probably won't be able to tell I'm pregnant and not just putting on weight until December.
6. When DH settles on where he'd like a new job I hope it's north-anywhere north.
7. 5 o'clock seems very far away. I hate that I'm a clock watcher now but I can't help but countdown till when I get to go pick up DD.
8. A grocery store in the area will trade you pears for your Halloween candy the day after Halloween. Ugh, let the kids have the candy for a few days in moderation and then just throw it away, but don't make them exchange it for pears!
9. I could use a nap.
10. This is only a four day work week for me-yay!!
Happy birthday! (:
1. I really, really don't want to eat this soup for lunch. I am nervous about it for some reason.
2. I am being a hater but I have no desire to take my daughter trick or treating tonight. I won't get to pick her up from daycare until 5:30, then get her home just to change her clothes and get her back in the car to go up to town.
3. DH is on my sh!t list. He was home yesterday evening and did absolutely nothing to help with DD. I have had to do everything with her for the last 6 weeks since he started fieldwork and I'm getting tired of him not helping on his night off.
4. Sorry I'm being so negative!!
5. I think my boss comes in my office to listen to my Pandora sometimes.

9. The people on the East Coast are weighing heavily on my mind.
10. I really want to buy an enormous wardrobe of maternity clothes this time around. I only had like 8-10 shirts and 3-4 bottoms last time and it sucked.

2. It looks like my son has more issues then just language
I was a little devastated when the speech therapist told me yesterday that kids who do what he does are not developing normally 
3. I go to the endocrinologist today to check my thyroid! Yay for more blood work!

6. I really need to get our dogs groomed but I have been seriously slacking lately.
7. I already bought tickets to Breaking Dawn part two... I'm so glad DH is willing to humor me and go along happily
8. DH's birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to get him... Dinner at Ruth's Chris might be the entirety of his gift
9. I don't know if I'll make it to the 2nd trimester without coloring my hair.... It looks so horrible
10. I can't think of number 10 right now.... So I'll just send lots of T and Ps to all my May Mamas!!!
2. Ive been thinking a lot about how I want to decorate for Christmas.
3. There was snow on the ground when I woke up this morning and it made me want to listen to christmas music on my way to work.
4. I cant wait for the m/s to disappear so I can start cooking for my DH again and accomplishing more throughout the day.
5. I got a speeding ticket in Aug and am in the middle of taking an online defensive driving course to avoid points on my license and my insurance finding out. So annoying. Just what I wanted to spend 60 on after my 90 ticket!
6. This recent insomnia is killing me.
7. Really hoping my inlaws will babysit our dog this wknd while DH and I are out of town. Theyre our only option.
8.I bought a cute new outfit for my uncles retirement dinner/party on saturday. And no, its not maternity!
9. Cant wait for this semester to end.
10. Im thinking that looking for a new job at this point is worthless.

1. My 11 week appt is tomorrow, though I'll technically be 10 w 6 d, and I'm super nervous.
2. I bought stuff to make a Halloween pregnancy shirt and a pumpkin to decorate/carve and I've done nothing with either.
3. I REALLY wanted a tuna sub today, but I opted for a buffalo chicken sub since I was afraid to eat too much tuna.
4. The pregnancy is the only thing keeping me from scratching my eyeballs out of work. I am in a job with no room to move up, and I HATE feeling trapped.
5. I really wanted Ben & Jerry's Phish Food yesterday but Publix was sold out.
6. I feel like this pregnancy has turned me into an awful human being. I barely say anything to anybody I work with because I feel so crappy and I haven't hung out with our only friends here in 3 weeks!
7. If it were up to me, I would just on a sweets eating spree (and even typing the word spree made me want the candy Sprees) right now. I want ice cream, cupcakes, candy, and all things bad lately.
8. My husband has been really great. I'm really glad I have no vents and no problems. On the other hand, I'm actually worried if that I miscarry, my husband would be more devastated than I would be (not that I wouldn't be but he's always dreamed of being a dad).
9. I really want to learn to crochet before this baby comes, but I am too cheap to pay for a lesson and I don't know anyone here who can teach me.
10. Anthropologie just opened less than 10 miles from my house. It's a good thing I'm pregnant or I'd be spending all my money there (on clearance stuff...too cheap to pay full price).
1. I love Tuesdays, they are my weekly bump days. I am 14 weeks today.
2. I am thrilled to not be as angry anymore. That was getting old.
3. I need to exercise more and talk about it less. Ready... GO!
4. I think maternity pants are coming out next week. My fat pants don't fit right and I look silly.
5. I may not be able to listen to Christmas Carols starting on Thursday, but I can wear Christmas socks.
6. I hope the Black Friday sales are good.
7. I have no desire to work, but I have even less of a desire to be a SAHM. Oh well.
8. I wish the neighbors would come and claim the leaves their tree vomited onto my yard. How rude!
9. I have come to accept my MIL is bat *** crazy and she needs to go back on her meds.
10. I need a snack.
1. I
Sandy. Two day work week!! Two free days off to lounge around and do nothing!
2. Why is there a broken heart emoticon but no regular heart emoticon?
3. 11 weeks, 2 days and feeling really good
4. Looking forward to my regular day off on Friday. Plans to meet with a friend for lunch and nothing else.
5. 2 and a half more weeks until my next appointment seems like forever. You doing okay in there little one? How am I supposed to know?
6. DH got mad at me for being "lazy" and told me I'm cooking today for both of us.
7. So I sent him out for wings and crazy bread from Little Ceasars for lunch.
8. Don't know what to do about dinner.
9. There is nothing on TV. At all. Or movies on demand or anything.
10. Someone decided to smoke in the hall of the apartment building rather than outside and now my apartment reeks of cigarette smoke. It's disgusting and I'm allergic plus I don't want the baby exposed.
That's such hard news to hear. Big hugs to you.
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 had two days with no m/s and it was wonderful.
2. My body laughed at me and came back with m/s vengeance yesterday and today. Oh joy!
3. I had some energy so I was able to get some cadio in on Sunday swimming at my MIL's boss's house. It was awesome but damn was I winded!
4. Sleep insomnia is taking it's toll on me. I don't know which is worse the insomnia or the vivid dreams.
5. I cleaned my bathroom on Sunday in one shot and it was GLORIOUS!
6. Last week I went from thinking I was 8 weeks and a couple days to 11 weeks. Made more sense as to why I've been more uncomfortable than expected the past week!
7. Yes I know I'm not showing and it's just bloat but hot damn I want to live in yoga pants.
8. I'm breaking down and getting some maternity jeans so I will be more comfortable and I can keep my button done up on my pants while at work!
9. I still don't have a pumpkin. Must get one tonight!
10. I'm happy there won't be snow tomorrow for the trick or treaters!
Damn you. Now I want Crazy Bread. THIS is why I never read the WFD posts. I crave everything everyone mentions.
Gosh, I can't even decide! They both suck! I think maybe the dreams since they tend to haunt me for days
EDD 1/31/13, MC May 17. EDD 3/31/13, MC July 26. I miss you so much already my angel loves
1. My husband's bday is in two weeks and I am about -41242480% away from even thinking about what to get him let alone, going out to get it... :-/
2. We have just moved to Kentucky and it is only a high of 47 today... this is how cold it gets mid-winter where i'm from...not liking it so far..

5. We are going to a marriage conference this weekend and i am super stoked and praying i can stay awake throughout it.
6. 2 weeks and 2 days until my next appointment! counting down the days!
7. praying for all the victims of sandy and for the election next week...
8. Finally broke out maternity clothes...i know i'm not far along but all the owmen in my family have started to show around 7 weeks and I am no different (and this is definitely not bloating)....kind of worried about what i'll look like in 5 months...

10. so thankful to be pregnant and not have any complications up until this point. PTL
1. I've been slammed at work the past two days with one deadline after another. It's actually nice since work has been dreadfully slow the past two weeks.
2. I can't believe I'm actually contemplating Black Friday this year for the first time. I hate shopping in general, but it's a tradition that my dad and brother go and my brother will be out of town this year so I may fill in his spot to keep my dad happy.
3. My husband and I are wrestling between trying to finish the basement in our home, remodeling the kitchen, and adding a second bathroom (since we only have a shower), or seriously start thinking of moving after I've lived in this house for seven years.
4. Trick or Treat was originally scheduled for tomorrow night, but it's been moved to Friday due to weather. I'll be out of town Friday, so I won't get to wear my pregnant skeleton shirt like I had planned (bummer).
5. Last week it was in the 80s and this week it snowed. If you don't like the weather in Ohio, wait 5 minutes because it will change.
6. My vivid dreams have been coming back full force the past few nights. One involved Foghorn Leghorn and Daffy Duck. I have NO CLUE where that came from!
7. Thinking of coming out of the pregnancy closet on Facebook this week since we've told just about everyone in person that we wanted to.
8. Sick of the election. So glad there's only a week left!
9. Everytime I'm on this site on my iPad I have horrible misspellings in my posts. I hate typing without a keyboard.
10. Since the past two days have been crazy busy at work and it just slowed down I'm going to allow myself to goof off for the next hour until it's time to go home.
First Son - born 2013
Third Son - due June 9, 2018
2. I need to go to target and get a couple things but that always turns into 200 of things haha
3. I'm 9 weeks 5 days and have no morning sickness and hope it stays that way.
4. Today was supposed to be my first dr appt but it was cancelled... I never thought i would see the day something was cancelled in Ohio from a hurricane.
5. I am hungry all the time finally after losing 10 lbs last month because I wasn't hungry at all.
6. I love my hubby and I'm so glad life has slowed down a little and we have more time to relax lately.

4. I find it hard to become friends with other mothers :[
5. I can't stop yawning... which is making my eyes water.
6. I hate eating anything when DS isn't, because then he figures he needs to eat as well. Even if he's just been nursed or eaten!
7. 12 weeks, 3 days
8. I do not want to make dinner, but I will!
9. There was at least 5 pregnant women at the county medical today, while I was waiting for my prescription! Oh and that didn't even include me LOL...
10. While I am looking forward to taking DS out for Halloween tomorrow, I'm sorta worried DH might try to pick an argument, so he doesn't have to go out with us!
Ditto this. I'm in south central Ohio.
First Son - born 2013
Third Son - due June 9, 2018
1. I feel so guilty about what I have been eating lately. I have no appetite at all so if it sounds good I eat it, no matter what.
2. I'm really hoping that I will soon be able to be in the kitchen long enough to cook a meal without getting sick. I'm sure DH and DD would appreciate something other than take out or something DH made...he tends to try and be "creative"
3. I REALLY want new furniture...and laying on this couch today only makes me want a new one so much more.
4. It's 64 degrees outside and beautiful, hopefully tomorrow will be the same.
5. I am in a serious hairstyle rut. I have had the same hairstyle forever and I am just recently realizing it. I seriously don't remember not having this hairstyle.
6. I listened to the "old school" lunch hour on the radio today and it made me ridiculously happy.

3. DS has been crawling for the last month and is all over the place!
4. My class for the last 8 wks of the semester is incredibly easy. Just a bunch of busy work.
5. Tonight we are going to watch our high school girls volleyball game. They are a game away from the district championship
6. Last night we watched them play and DD was so excited. She was clapping and cheering so loud.
7. Hocus Pocus is my favorite Halloween movie.
8. This morning I saw footage of babies from a NICU being moved because of Sandy. So scary! Definitely praying for all of those people affected.
9. I haven't cooked in so long. I guess tomorrow I will have to stop being lazy and actually cook dinner.
10. I car shopped for over an hour yesterday and only found two cars we liked; one in New York and one in Oklahoma. How hard is it to put middle bench seats in a Suburban or Yukon XL?

7, I'm not looking forward to my boobs getting any bigger, DD's are big enough thank you!
8. It's supposed to be in the mid 70's here tomorrow, that seems so weird for Halloween.
9. I constantly crave cold water with lemon.
10. I'm so excited to be a lime finally, I've been looking forward to the lime!
At least you're craving something and want to eat. We're trying to figure out what to have for dinner and NOTHING sounds good to me.
I wish I craved that. I have to force down water...not a fan!
