1) DH and I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day. But tomorrow he's going to take me out to my favorite restaurant and then we're going to go see Winter's Tale. So excited!
2) Unfortunately, because of number 1, that means MIL is going to be watching the kids. At least she'll be watching them at our house so I'll feel a little more comfortable about it.
3) I've been watching the Olympics everyday. Both of the kids really enjoy watching it too. However, I've been staying up too late watching them at night, and it's catching up to me.
4) I just want to sit and do nothing today.
5) The bathroom is taking longer to complete than I originally thought it would. The tile still isn't up, but hopefully will get done tomorrow. We just keep running into problems! Ugh!
6) The more problems we run into with this house, the more I want to build our next house. That way we know it's done right the first time and then I can get what I want.
7) I think today the kids and I are going to make Valentine's cards.
8) I just realized I have no idea what to make for dinner.
9) There's still so much to do before baby comes and we only have 10 weeks left!
10) We're having egg salad sandwiches for lunch today.
1. I'm so completely over getting up every morning, showering and getting ready for work. This sound ridiculous b/c it's like really basic stuff. I just want to come to work in my pajamas w/ no shower. Is that such a big deal?
2. DS2 keeps saying he doesn't feel good and his head hurts. He seems fine, no fever, no other symptoms. It's freaking me out. I know it's b/c my FB feed seems to be filled with little kids battling brain cancer. My anxiety is getting a little out of control.
3. I pulled out chicken for tonight, but I have no clue what to do with it. I'm also over making dinner every night.
4. My house is a mess but I just don't have the energy to clean it.
5. My mom is keeping our kids tomorrow night so DH and I can go out to dinner. I'm really excited about this, but probably more excited about sleeping in Saturday.
6. I know I should probably start getting a few things ready for baby, but I still don't feel convinced that something won't go wrong. I have no reason to feel this way, but PGAL brain is sticking with me.
7. I think this weather is giving me the sads. All I'm doing is bitching and complaining!
8. My kids are awesome. They are very, very funny. I can't wait to see how this LO changes the dynamic of our family.
9. I know I should be enjoying this pregnancy b/c it's my last, but I just want her in my arms safe and sound.
10. Sorry for being such a Debbie Downer. Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!
1. Something is up with the bump. I am trying to reply and it looks like I am mobile, but I am not. Also I can't reply in my Google Chrome.
2. I am not up for doing anything at all today. I still haven't showered and I am dreading showering. I have to bring my oldest son to his baseball practice tonight. I am not feeling well and I hate not wanting to go to it.
3. I have everything for Kolton, I just have to put it away from the baby shower. I do need to go get nipple cream though. That is all that is left! I am planning on getting the high chair later, it would just take up room right now in our small house.
4. I was at the dentist/orthodontist all day yesterday. My oldest son needs braces asap and the quote they gave me was 4830.00!!!!!
5. My friend stopped over today for a bit to say hi. We watched Full House and made fun of it. I can't believe that we used to wear those clothes!
6. I bought new pj bottoms for the hospital at Target yesterday. I can't wait to wear them! OH and I got two bras on clearance for 4.25 a piece!
7. I really want a nap. after this I think I might try. I have to get in the shower at least by 115 though...
8. I have no idea what I will do for dinner tonight. I wish I had some extra money to just order in.
9. I got a Momma Roo for a gift at my shower. I am not sure if we will use it. I have a swing already, I was considering leaving it in our bedroom for those sleepless nights.
10. I finished all of my thank you cards from the baby shower. I have two that I am waiting on addresses for so I can mail them out!
@maydaygirl590 I hope your bathroom gets done soon! It will be so nice when you don't have to worry about it getting done.
@afrost I hope y'all have a great time at dinner and enjoy sleeping in!
1). I pleaded with MH over text to start putting the nursery furniture together today. I haven't heard back from him, I hope that means he is hard at work.
2). I know if LO came early, the grandparents would ban together to get the nursery done. I would be grateful for their help, but I would be really sad about not getting to decorate and put things away myself.
3). I leave work 3 hours early twice a week for my NSTs. My boss knows this, and each appt is in the shared calendar. But that doesn't stop him from trying to schedule me for meetings at least twice a week for once I will already be gone. Everytime he does it, I cry a little inside.
4). Our house is clean (for once) and I have zero chores to do today. I did plan on cooking dinner, but I am tempted to get take out again just so I have absolutely nothing to do when I get home.
5). My upper back is in knots.
6). I'm so tired of all people around me. From their talking to their chewing, singing and general noise making, I feel like the Grinch and I just want to scream at them all to shut up.
7). I still have not come to terms with the fact that my baby girl will be here in 35 days.
8). I'm kind of excited about being induced....I guess knowing exactly when makes me feel less nervous.
9). My favorite activity right now is napping with my kitty.
10). I can't wait to go to BRU and buy the rest of the things we need.

@aforst- ((Hugs)). My house is a mess too and I'm seriously considering ordering pizza even though we don't have the money. Not knowing what to make for dinner is the worst! Sorry about your DS. Sometimes a headache could be a sign of dehydration or too much sugar. Where are you going out for dinner tomorrow? DH and I are going to the Traffic Jam and Snug in downtown Detroit. I'm jealous you're mom is keeping the kids overnight. Enjoy sleeping in Saturday!
@sjelwood- Pregnancy insomnia is the worst. ((Hugs)). I just looked at your ticker and realized how close you are to having an outside baby! Eek! How exciting!
@ninthgirl- Kudos for making a nice V-day card for your hubby! How about brownies? They're chocolate and they sound divine!
@cawettig- I was having problems with Chrome last week and MH had to uninstall the browser and then reinstall it. I hope you got your nap today! I wish you good luck in trying to figure out dinner tonight!
@angelsnight- Seems like no one is up to making dinner tonight! Enjoy your take out! Congrats on being 35/35 today!
@ninthgirl what about bacon pancakes? where you put the bacon that was cooked inside the batter of the pancake and bake the pancake???? you could make heart designs with the bacon. I made them before for DH, he said they were pretty good, but I mean what's not to love about anything bacon related???
@angelsnight when is your induction? I don't remember the date!

@CAWETTIG, it hadn't been scheduled yet, but it will be either March 17th, 18th, 19th, or 20th. We'll likely choose based on which doctor is on when, in hopes of our favorite delivering her.

@maydaygirl590, thanks! The sad thing is I have chicken out to thaw...and since we ALWAYS eat out on Fridays, it will likely go to waste. But my rationale is, I have to go to the shoe store which is right by this restaurant, soooo, I might as well pick something up

1. My cat is REALLY distressed that I haven't fed her dinner yet.
2. Work dismissed us at 3:30. Rare and appreciated! The roads were a mess, so I was glad there wasn't as much traffic as there would have been at rush hour.
3. My neighbor's son (not sure exactly how old he is -- preteen?) came out while I was shoveling my driveway and helped me finish. We have a snow blower but I don't know how to use it (or want to use it -- the gassy smell makes me feel gross and it seems bad for the baby). My wife is working tonight and didn't want me to shovel, but I needed to do a little in order to get my car in the driveway. Thanks to neighbor boy our driveway is clear! I'm sure his mom made him do it but I don't care. He's totally getting some cookies.
4. I'm supposed to be dropping by our chosen daycare tonight to drop off our deposit check to secure our spot for October. Holy moly it freaks me out. I'm also wondering if I should wait until tomorrow, since I really don't want to go back out in the gross weather.
5. Registering this weekend! Really looking forward to it.
6. Also just got offered some hand-me-down baby gear and maternity wear from a friend. Score. I love free stuff, especially as I commit myself to spending half a month's pay on daycare... :-SS
7. I have MOSTLY been good about eating while pregnant, but today I had to buy a whoopie pie at lunch. I swear the baby made me. It was amazing.
8. Just choked a little on my own saliva. #winning
9. I can't think of anything else to say! It'll have to be 9 today.

1. I'm making fake "chicken" and dumpling soup tonight to help fight this damn cold, it sounds amazeballs
2. I haven't thrown up today or felt super nauseated, trying not to worry about that
3. The two weeks I still have left until our first u/s seem soooo long
4. I am swamped with outside work I have to do (meaning not for work)
5. I have interview part two for a job tomorrow, fx it goes well
6. Which OB we use depends on this interview... so I really hope it goes well!
7. I need to get off TB and go get ingredients for this soup
8. The damn construction outside is making me crazy
9. If you buy a house in phase 1 of a new development, be prepared to go crazy
10. I wish I'd been barfy at some point today, sigh

@ball.and.chain- that was nice that you got out if work early. Glad you got home safely and how nice of the neighbor boy, even if his mom did make him. Have fun registering! P.S. You cheated!
@Petunia844- ((hugs)) PGAL brain is so tough to deal with. Try to enjoy a day of not throwing up and try not to worry (I know, easier said than done). Prayers that your 2nd interview goes well and you get the job.
@kmbk27- when I have heartburn I fe like I'm going to die. Dramatic, I know. Whatever it is, I hope it stops soon. Enjoy your 3 day weekend! Prayers that your appointment on Monday goes amazingly well and that you see a beautiful, strong, thriving, healthy baby.

2. I hate feeling like the "new kid" at work. It has only been a week in the department and everyone is sweet but still just kind of awkward.
3. It is Girl Scout cookie season, and I am so excited about it. Samoas mmmmmm.
4. Having worked in the service industry - we do not go out to eat on Valentine's day. Take out and movies for us.
5. Made it to the store tonight - got valentine treats for work tomorrow, but I forgot milk which is what I actually needed.
6. It was 48 degrees at the end of my work day, and I wish it would stay that way until summer. Beautiful weather!
7. Law and Order: SVU marathon means my night will consist of nothing productive.
8. Three day weekend...just have to get through tomorrow!
9. My dog has a weird/hilarious habit of staring at himself in the mirror. He always looks like he's thinking, "Look at me, I look good."
10. So excited/nervous to see my little PJ on Monday. 2nd appointment and hoping for some serious growth!
^^^ September Signature: TV series I plan on binge watching with my newborn I do what I want. ^^^
P.S. You cheated!
