Today is dragging because I have a prenatal massage scheduled for after work. I haven't had a massage since before I was pregnant, so I'm excited to finally get one again. Plus, I've been having some back/hip pain already, so hopefully it will help a little.
This gastrointestinal bug is kicking my butt. Had to resort to ice chips because even water isn't sitting well. Come on body, we do not want to have to go in for an IV. Thank goodness my kids are home on spring break to help me out.
My mother in law will be here Thursday. THURSDAY! For 5 days! I'm so excited because it's been months since I've seen her but my guest room isn't even close to being ready. I still have no bed, there are piles of boxes that need to go to the attic, the carpets need scrubbed, and did I mention there's no bed? My truck has been at the mechanic for over a week and they keep dragging their feet about getting it done. I HAVE NO BED FOR HER! Also hubs thinks it's more important to play a video game than to help me and I have zero energy. So he's dicking around and I'm bumping... And she'll be here in two days. Ugh.
June '14 September Siggy challenge- Favorite things about fall
I can't bring myself to call my grandma a twatwaffle, but she recently saw a picture of me and said "Did she stuff a pillow under her shirt?" What the heck is that supposed to mean? I'm 29 weeks pregnant! She should know what a pregnant person looks like- my cousin just had a baby in February. Plus, when I was 20 weeks and had just started noticeably showing, she asked if maybe I had two or three in there. Um, no. Just one. C'mon. Maybe I'll just blame it on her terrible old lady vision.
AW/SS- I am getting really excited for my baby shower. I can't help it. World, I am sorry! Annnnnd, the worst part is that I can't stop looking at my registries. WHO HAVE I BECOME!?
Also, I finally stopped puking all the time. FINALLY. Everyone says 2nd tri is where it's at, but the beginning of 3rd is looking best so far for me. Except the heartburn. Go to hell heartburn.
@letsgobowlingx Ha! People ARE crazy. She's also only seen me in person once this pregnancy. I figure if she'd been seeing me every week or so she might not say weird things.
DH surprised me with ducks on Sunday as a wedding gift! Holy crap they are cute! They are pets only. I can't wait to start building their coup in a couple of weeks!
Carter's is having their 50% off store-wide sale again, and I got a reward from the last sale for $30 off $50. I went and got DD#2 some really cute outfits for spring/summer!
@KrystaJ we are taking the 2 week class and didn't get any info. I'd dress normal/comfy and bring a notebook. I've found that they usually provide anything you need the first class
I'm so ready to gtfo of my job. They are making me keep it a secret that I am leaving. There's only 3 people on the office that it will be a secret from. My hr rep says it's prevent me from saying "oh well, I won't be here" like senoritis. Except, I've met/exceeded ALL my goals and you can't stop me from having those thoughts.
Annnnd, much like senior year, I counted the days I have left. 54 work days left.
My hospital only offers birthing classes one day at a time. Like I wil only take the class once on April 19th and I'm done. At least it was on a weekend that I am free!
Mint tea will give you heartburn because mint is a muscle relaxant and loosens the muscle that keeps your stomach contents inside your stomach. Sucks, because it helps a lot with nausea, and then makes heartburn worse.

@brighteyes112 I closed that Oct thread. How insensitive can someone be?
I'm sooo glad you closed it. That would have been an inappropriate PM to send someone, let alone a board post. WTF.
That is literally one of the worst things to say to a woman going through loss or infertility. "Hey, just wanted to let you know, I'm now pregnant and it worked for me, it'll work for youuuu!"
I got really awesome stuff at my work shower and even though I know my peeps love me and stuff I'm still very surprised at their generosity! Damn hormones, making me all love them and stuff *sniff*
Tomorrow I'm bringing in bagels, cream cheese, OJ and fruit as a thank you to everyone. Then in the afternoon my dept is also getting Wendy's frosties, because if you don't love Wendy's frosties then something is wrong with you!
I'm totally going to count the days left before leave tomorrow. On that note, I have had literally 7 meetings about training while I'm out. Literally. 3 with coworkers, 4 with just my boss. Each an hour. I haven't actually trained one person in one thing yet. It's completely ridiculous and a waste of time. But how annoying is it that my boss keeps saying, to me and to my coworkers, "hopefully Celeste will be here until June... If not we are going to have to do this earlier..." Like, maybe I might be put on headrest, maybe I might go into preterm labor, but if we could stop mentioning it so casually... Thatwouldbegreatthanks.

Like training people will be your priority if you go in to preterm labor.
I'm thiisssss close to just saying I'm done at the end of April. Except I don't know what I would do for 6 weeks. My mom once told me to never give more than 2 weeks notice. She was SO RIGHT.
I made the mistake of requesting my leave in January so we could get a head start on training. I'm going to be out for a while (5.5 months, yay!) and right now there's no new who knows my function at all.... So I thought it would be helpful to ask early and prepare. Nope, nothing but an effing nightmare for me. Next time, maybe I will wait until a month before my due date to request leave, lol.
Completely unrelated... But Cougar Town is on tv. WTF did Courteney Cox do to her face?!?!?! She used to be so pretty. Now she looks like Alice Cooper.

My SS, we just re-listed our house on Saturday. Fingers crossed we get it sold before June!

I may have a second one. Or third.

@nnh7 - me too. We should just stop caring (worrying, on my end) so much.
