High point: I had a yummy glass of wine Low point: DD had lice and I picked nits out for hours and did tons of laundry even though it wasn't laundry day. Lice has always been a fear of mine, so I faced a fear! That's a silver lining I guess.
High: Olive Garden for dinner last night and I'm having the leftovers for lunch today.
Low: DH's wrestling team placed second in regionals. One of his wrestlers didn't show up on time so it cost them points - they could have won.
Now I have to have Olive Garden. It's 9 am on a Monday morning and my mouth is seriously watering. And lets be honest, their pasta is even better leftover the next day.
High: the weather was nice. I was able to catch a short nap in the hammock. (It's back in the 40s today, so don't hate me too much.)
Low: We had to say goodbye to my beloved pooch. We were together 13 years. It is so hard. I'm exhausted.

High point: went swimming at the pool yesterday with my daughter/husband, then went to Olive Garden (had a little glass of wine), came back home and out her to bed as she was exhausted and then watched Downton Abbey and went to bed....even though I had a huge backlog of crap to do for work (I give up and need to have family time....)
Low point: talking to my parents who are over the top happy that they are in southern Florida where it's low 80s...for the next couple of months. depressing just talking with them because I really wanted to go but can't afford it this year---hense the reason for the swim and rest of evening. Depressed from this cold awful weather this year
High: Nursery updates galore! Painted the room, picked up the crib and glider, and ordered the dresser.
Low: I ate like 1/3 of a package of the Marshmallow Treat Oreos in one sitting last night, after I told myself I'd be good about sugar this weekend since my glucose test is tomorrow. Ah, well.
High point: Went out on Saturday with some friends on Saturday night, it has been a long time since I had a girls night out. Yesterday we went over to my parents house for dinner, and my dad made one of my favorite meals.. yum!
Low point: The local chili place screwed up our to-go order and put onions and mustard on my chili cheese dogs when they were not supposed to... I probably got more upset than I should have over food..
High - I have my girls for the week and feel complete. I love love love when they are with me. *melty heart*
Low: I spilled a huge can of coffee grounds on the kitchen floor this morning. I didn't close the lid i guess. I just don't even want to think about the mess.
High: sushi! DH and I had a date day while DS was with the in-laws. We ate at an amazing restaurant and did some baby shopping. And I had lemon Oreos!
Low: tried steam cleaning the carpet in the soon to be nursery and the weird yellow stuff the previous owners spilled will not come out. Also had a mini emotional meltdown Saturday night for no reason.
High: my weekend started Friday and doesn't end until Wednesday- 5 day weekend! I bought a new shower curtain and accessories for our main bathroom and I scrubbed it clean before hanging everything. I also gave the kitchen a good cleaning except the floor bc of the snow again- would of just gotten dirty again.
Low: I was up all Saturday night bc of heartburn and having no tums. I still am tired from the lack of sleep.
I added a picture of my bathroom bc I love the new colors!
High: visiting my parents and taking them with us to an elective 3d/4d ultrasound. We had a lot of fun even though LO was uncooperative. I also helped my mom address baby shower invites (don't worry, I'm not hosting, she just didn't have the address for my friends) and we are getting really excited about everything.
Low: driving back from my parents' house in a nasty snowstorm. The roads were a mess and our 3.5 hour trip became 5. At least we made it home safe and sound!
High: the roads were finally clear enough for me to get out on my own (I'm a woos and don't drive in the snow). I went to BRU and got a few good deals! Then I had to stop at Krispy Kreme because it's right next door and I had to buy 3 donuts for myself. Yum!
Low: I slept like crap last night and I'm really grumpy today.
High: Olive Garden for dinner...wish I hadn't eaten the whole thing, so I would have had leftovers!
Low: My sweet son telling me that I look like a man and that I'm fat. Do you remember who gets up with you in the middle of the night you little stinker?!?
Low- Working Saturday even though we aren't supposed to be open, DH laughing at me when I dropped things and asked him to pick them up about 10 times on Sunday.

High: Feeling LO kick constantly and finally having DH be able to feel her kick constantly. Yay! Also, hearing about all the cool things my friend is doing for my shower. Is it bad that I'm super excited to have a party? I don't care about gifts, I just like to talk to people!
Low: Feeling super-sensitive lately, which sucks because DH and I are usually very playful and will tease each other often. Now I want to cry when he teases me (and he's not even close to being mean).
High; Getting the glider finally so I can arrange the nursery furniture how I want. Prenatal massage.
Low: Prenatal massage (aftermath) Yeah, confusing... It was great while I was getting it and then afterwards and since my sciatic pain has been worse! I can't imagine a massage making my sciatic nerve more pinched but it has been worse since I left.
High: checked out new awesome baby (cloth diaper) store with DH on Saturday!
Low: all of Sunday... This has been a very lonely pregnancy and poor DH is only up for so much. Sunday = very emotional me and stayed in bed in tears or asleep all day.
High: Moved into our new house and officially sleeping there. Even got our cat here and he's settling in well and hasn't scratched any of the new furniture.
Low: Felt like we were packing for forever and my back was killing me almost all weekend. And we still haven't gotten everything moved yet.
Re: High point of your weekend? Low?
Low point: DD had lice and I picked nits out for hours and did tons of laundry even though it wasn't laundry day. Lice has always been a fear of mine, so I faced a fear! That's a silver lining I guess.
Low: We got rear ended and I have a follow up with my midwives for this afternoon.
Low: DH's wrestling team placed second in regionals. One of his wrestlers didn't show up on time so it cost them points - they could have won.

Low- probably just sitting around the house once again having nothing much to do but clean.
Low: My sweet son telling me that I look like a man and that I'm fat. Do you remember who gets up with you in the middle of the night you little stinker?!?
It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
