1. I love our new house!
2. We let the dogs sleep in our room with us last night and they woke us up at 4. They are always really good at night, but keeping wanting to get up at 4.
3. I got my dress for maternity pics and it doesn't fit like I wanted it to. :-(
4. My pics are in four weeks so I have to figure out how to make it fit.
5. The baby has been super active all last night and this morning!
6. We have our elective 3D u/s next Wed yay!
7. I am excited because people are starting to RSVP for the shower. I can't wait to see everyone!
8. I don't think my dad's family will come though. They didn't even come to my wedding. :-/
9. I am actually having an easier time getting rid of cable than I thought I would.
10. I miss watching TV at night in the bedroom, but it's probably best I break that habit!
Re: 10 Things Tuesday
@sparklingdiamond you beat me to it by a few seconds! That's what I get for procrastinating!
1. I'm finally starting to get excited about LO arriving. All I want to do is decorate the nursery and buy CD supplies!
2. I finally bought 2 newborn CD covers and 6 newborn workhorse pre-folds and some snappies to start my Newborn diaper stash! Woohoo!
3. I really want to check out a couple local consignment stores to see if they have used CDs that I can snag up
4. It's snowing again after a 60+ degree weekend. And sticking. ugh. I'm so ready for spring!
5. I'm starving, but nothing sounds good even though I'm at home with food all around me...
6. My mom gave me my birthday money and I have no idea what to spend it on...except maybe cloth diapers LOL ...can you tell where my brain is at?
7. Someone at work keeps mentioning wanting to do a baby shower for me and my boss (she's due in Aug) but we are both on baby #2 so I think it's kind of odd. Do you even create a registry for something like that?
8. DD's really not wanting to use the potty lately, even though we ask her a lot.
9. Sometimes DD will want to sit on it, but only after she has just peed in her diaper.
10. It seems almost impossible some days to help her get the point of it. Does it just "click" with them one day?
2. And, wouldn't you know, my BP was slightly high this morning - 137/82.
3. I'm not too worried, though, because my old OB didn't worry even at 140s/90s. Plus, I *feel* stressed and annoyed right now.
4. I feel like/wish I could just concentrate on growing this baby and being healthy right now...i.e. working out lightly, going to yoga, going to the chiro, getting pregnancy massages, eating right, etc.
5. I keep going over scenarios in my head to lessen my stress (i.e. like cutting back on work, etc.), but when I get right down to it, the things that stress me out the most are things I can't really change or do anything about.
6. One source of stress if my DH. He has been in a funk lately and it is starting to get to me.
7. Honestly, I feel like he has really been being selfish. It seems like everything is about how he feels stressed and how he needs help at his business but can't find any help, he feels depressed, etc. Yeah, try dealing with all of that shit and being 7 months pregnant, bud!!!
8. I seriously think that if men had to be pregnant and have the babies, most families would consist of 1 child.
9. I also think maternity leave would be paid and be at least 6 months.
10. I am getting to the point with my stress level that I am really just about to start cutting people out temporarily who stress me out (like in-laws) and just telling DH "deal" and concentrating on myself because asking for help is getting me nowhere.

2. I need a vacation so bad.
3. DH just lost his job so even the slightest mention of doing something fun and I get growled at.
4. Totally understand but I still need a break.
5. My middle sister is due any day now.
6. She doesn't have her bag packed yet (she lives about an hour from hospital) and didn't take a birthing class. This makes the planner in me go slightly crazy.
7. Last night I asked her if she has lost her mucus plug yet. He response was "I don't know. How would I know if I did?"
8. Exactly why I recommended that she take some kind of class!
9. There is something stabbing my rib right now. My guess is a butt or head.
10. Failed my 1 hr GTT so have my 3 hr test tomorrow. I wish you all could see the pure excitement written all over my face.

2. Just started my every 2 week appointments. Can't believe we are that far along.
3. This is my first 10 things Tuesday post, been trying to get to it for weeks, but by the time I get my list done it it Wednesday.
4. Doing my list now while eating chips and cheese at TGIFridays. Yum!
5. Got my tdap shot last night and encouraged the family this past weekend. Thankfully everyone was on board.
6. Taking my DH to a Chicago bulls game on Sunday and I am already thinking about what I want to eat there.
7. While I don't think I look bigger in the last few days, I feel like my bump is heavier.
8. I am getting more and more out of breath lately, by doing anything, even talking too much.
9. There was a 5 week old boy at my shower this past weekend and it took everything I had not focus solely on him.
10. Just pages away from finishing my current book. I need to have a backup in place this week.
2. My last basketball game as the school's dance team coach is tonight. I was waiting until our season was over before telling the girls that I won't be coaching them next year, so that means I actually have to tell them soon.
3. Sciatic nerve is a pain in my ass.
4. I get to watch my 9 month old niece on Saturday and I'm so excited! She is such a sweet and happy baby....
5. ....and she is going to be a big sister! My sister and her DH just found out this week. Definitely not planned and she's freaking out a bit, but they are both great parents and will be able to figure it all out.
6. I'll be honest, I kinda miss watching the Olympics. I'm not saying that I was a crazy fanatic, but DH and I watched coverage just about every day and it was nice.
7. I can't believe that I'm already at the point where I'm having to start looking at sub plans for my mat. leave. It snuck up on me!
8. I'm so freaking stoked to finally see Divergent in March!
9. I haven't gotten my hair colored since the week before I found out I was pregnant, and am FINALLY getting it done on Thursday.
10. I need to fart.
Happy Endings
To be fair, I took a birthing class and had no idea what the hell a mucus plug was going to look like if it fell out until it fell out while in L&D. Then I figured it out pretty quickly! I had an "ohhh" moment lol

1. I got to look at 3000 year old beetle elytra (wing covers) today. Absolutely beautiful!
2. My colleague who has issues with stepping on my toes and thinking he is my boss has struck again...that is two days out of three. Lucky me, eh?
3. My afternoon boundary setting email set him straight...well straight enough for a kind of sort of apology. (Mama Bear hormones are to thank here.)
4. I am hungry. Always.
5. My boobs rest on my belly now. It makes me feel like buddha.
6. Gave hubby my leftovers for lunch today and need to go out on the hunt for something delicious to eat...soon.
7. People tell me I am "small" when they hear I am pregnant with twins and almost to 6 months. You know what my response is? I do not feel small...try carrying this around for a little while damn it!
8. I think Juan Pablo is product placement whore...what is with all the m&m ads?
9. I wish the nursery was painted, so I could start in on decorating.
10. Baby B just kicked me; she needs lunch too. I think I hear Costa Vida calling my name. I am addicted to their chicken tortilla soup.
stina76 - I love to hear positive things about babies and roadtrips...we are hoping for one this summer after the LOs arrive too. What websites have you found helpful?
mary97 - I always want another shamrock shake...I am an addict.
Regarding all the tired speak...I realized that my maternity leave will be the only "break" from work I have had in such a long time that I am almost embarassed to admit it. Tired...hell yes. I can't wait to be at home with my girls this summer!
1. Passed my 1 hr glucose test. Yay!
2. Had my 28 wk appt today and everything is good. So far this pregnancy is by the book (knock on wood).
3. The baby moving is no longer cute at 3am.
4. The invites for my shower went out which means gifts are starting to arrive.
5. Which also means I'm checking my registery every 5 minutes!
6. My friend who was due about 6 weeks before me with twins just had them today. They are healthy. But it freaked me out.
7. Another friend is lending me her breast pump. It scares me and makes me feel like a milking machine.
8. Whoever said there is a theme with DHs this week is right.
9. I have a new temp job that I'm grateful for, but it's killing.
10. I haven't told them yet that I'm preggers. I'm wearing clothes that disguise it pretty well. It won't interfere with the job, just haven't gotten around to it.
2. DH started his full time job yesterday, so maybe in two weeks I wont be so poor! haha
3. 3 hour glucose test on Friday...
4. Failed by 1 hour by more then 20 points.. ugh
5. My ribs have a crushing feeling on them... no position is comfy enough to satisfy the pain and Tylenol wont work!
6. I sleep during the day now.. not getting to sleep till after 6am and waking up every hour cause my ribs!
7. I want a 3d U/S of baby girl but I think they are so creepy!
8. No pants or jeans fit so I live in sweat pants.. even in public.. i look like sucha slob! Cant wait till I can wear my dresses!
9. The baby was so calm all day long until DH got home and started talking to me... She started kicking like crazy as soon as she heard his voice.
10. Im so behind on getting things for this baby... no crib or anything yet! or any essential stuff... I do have a nice nifty swing though but she cant really live in a swing haha
