Ten Things Tuesday

bumpuser9353653 · March 2014

Let's have it ladies! What's going on this week?

1. Snow. again. seriously?? It was 68 degrees three days ago! SO over winter.

2. I think I have RLP issues. It's getting hard to get out of bed or walk around after sitting for longer than 10 minutes. Very frustrating

3. Also, I think my LO has bruised the inside of my abdomen. No external bruise, but damn does it feel just like one in one spot.

4. Being asked every day at the office "how are you feeling?" is getting old. Tired; Sore; Pregnant. same as yesterday.

5. DD woke up on the wrong side of the crib this morning. First she wanted Daddy, but going into our room was out of the question. Then she wanted to go downstairs, but wanted to see the dog, but again, didn't want to go into the room.. Then heaven forbid I put her down to get her chocolate milk from the fridge or try to change her clothes.

6. I think we've officially entered the "Terrible 2s" stage. Lucky us :-P

7. On the plus side, DD has successfully used the potty at least once a day for the past four days! Really hoping she sticks with it.

8. DH and I still have yet to pick a name for DD2. I might have a nervous breakdown if we don't agree on something soon.

9. I had strange dreams last night about DD climbing out of her crib and being in a toddler bed, but not sleeping at all. Which signals to me she will not be transitioning to a toddler bed anytime soon!

10. Just found out that friends from college are having a second baby girl in Aug (our DDs are only a few weeks apart) which makes me happy b/c I would have been jealous if they were having a son. I'm terrible, I know.

sparklingdiamond · March 2014

1. I am so over work right now.

2. We had our third childbirth class last night (out of four).

3. We skipped one last week because I really didn't want to watch a birthing video. No need to terrify me further thank you.

4. We finally get to do the hospital tour next class.

5. My birthday is on Sat!

6. We are going to my favorite Mexican food place and seeing Divergent.

7. I really hope it is good!

8. I have been drinking a can of Dr Pepper every day lately. I was so good about caffeine before and now I'm just like "eh".

9. I can't believe I only have 50 days until my due date!!

10. I can't wait to meet this little guy!

Magheeta · March 2014

1. I finally feel somewhat caught up at work and less guilty about going to maternity leave.

2. I did some of our parenting class online last night and had to stop b/c I was getting queasy.

3. I need to start reading the book for our book club this month.

4. I had some BH last night, and they were kinda cool.

5. Velveeta chicken pot pie mix is legit.

6. PB&J is on the menu for lunch today.

7. @sparklingdiamond I have to have a Dr. Pepper a day. I just can't function without it.

8. I have a client meeting later this morning and am going to take my time.

9. I really need to go to the grocery store.

10. My shower is less than two weeks away!

sparklingdiamond · March 2014

@Magheeta I am so excited about your shower!!

candrew05 · March 2014

1. I didnt leave my house from Thursday night until this morning.

2. I am still not feeling good but going to tackle work anyway.

3. We are building a guest bedroom in the basement.

4. The mess in the basement is driving me insane!

5. I plan on talking to my manager today about reducing my hours at work.

6. My sister and nephew arrive from Scotland this Thursday!

7. I had a horrible dream that I had my baby and they wouldnt let me see him.

8. Snacking on grapefruit right now.

9. I need to find a new show on Netflix to dive into.

10. I am out of ten things..

Magheeta · March 2014

@candrew05 - your dream reminded me of a dream I had a few nights ago. I had the baby, but MIL kept trying to take him away from me and out in public! Night.Mare.

caycelee · March 2014

1. I'm so done with this cold weather/snow crap but that's wonderful new england for ya...

2. My shower is Saturday so I'm super excited about it.

3. Met with my maternity photographer last weekend so I'm excited about that too

4. This heartburn from hell is getting old, I'll have a hole in my esophagus by the time I give birth.

5. My husband is adamant about not posting any photos of LO on Facebook or any other social networking sites...it is really aggrivating me he feels this way. BTW he isn't on any networking sites so it's easy for him to say it. However I'm also a baby photographer so this kind of goes against everything I do! lol figures.

6. Starting to interview temps to replace me at work...not looking forward to training someone.

7. Have a feeling I'm going to go early so I guess the earlier to get someone in here to train the better.

8. Not sure if anyone is throwing me a shower at work but I hope so!!

9. My sinuses are terrible lately in the mornings...what gives?

10. nervous about my DH being the stay at home dad and living off of a 1 1/4 income but I wouldn't really have it any other way, only wish I made more money.

LeeLee86 · March 2014

1. Having serious RLP issues that wake me up at night when I turn over
2. I have naturally really curly hair and its gone! My curls gave flattened out

3. My bloody nose has finally cleared up after 7 months! Woohoo
4. My DH tells me to quit work everyday but I feel like I'll be bored if I'm home too long( I don't get ML so after 2 months I'm looking for part time work)
5. We had our co-ed family shower/party this wkend it was SO much fun
6. I have my traditional shower this Sunday and I'm so excited to have lady time

7. I seriously don't know how STM's do this w/ young ones I'm in a lot of pain
8. I really want to get back into sewing
9. I love all the books we are getting those are my favorite gifts!
10. Can't wait to meet this wiggler in (hopefully) 6 wks. No more no less

bumpuser9353653 · March 2014

@mary97 - so cute to hear about your DH having a change of heart about kids. If he is excited now, just wait til they are together and bonding. It will melt your heart seeing that daddy-daughter bond

@caycelee - that's so cool that your DH is going to be a stay-at-home dad! I wish my DH could do that. He'd be so good at it!

awc1986 · March 2014

1) My upper/mid back absolutely kills today.

2) DH forgot to transfer his share of the mortgage to me on his lunch break. He does this every month. He's a forgetful idiot.

3) I'm too tired today and 2 cups of coffee haven't touched it.

4) There's nobody sat behind me at work for the rest of the afternoon, so I'm messing around online.

5) Only 13 working days until mat leave!

6) Sitting is exhausting

7) I got something in my eye earlier when saying farewell to one of our suppliers (I won't see him until I go back next Jan), so it looked like I was crying.

8) There's so much stretching going on in my belly today. All I can think about is getting on my gym ball when I get home.

9) I hate the traffic I'm gonna have to sit in on my way home. It took my over an hour to do a 25 minute journey this morning.

10) I'm over my bathroom renovation now. It's been 2 weeks and we're still brushing our teeth in the kitchen sink. I'm using the handheld mixer shower head to wash, which is hard at 7am.

OMG this! We have our 2nd class in April and DH and I have no reservations about asking to leave the room if they put a video on. I don't need to see another person go through that thank you. If you were going for a colonoscopy, would you ask to see a video of someone else having it done?

mrspopsicle · March 2014

1. Eight work days (plus one call shift) left until maternity leave!

2. My husband is slacking on clarifying his paternity leave. I'll be happy if he gets anything, but the two weeks paid he thought he got would be awesome.

3. I have almost everything we need for baby. Just need new nipples for our bottles, a couple mattress pads, a few towels and washcloths, and pack of A+A swaddle blankets.

4. I have NOTHING set up for baby. He won't sleep in his nursery for months anyway, but it would make me feel more settled.

5. I've been focusing my nesting on redecorating our basement to be a playroom. It's actually coming along nicely.

6. I hate that my only productive time of day is nap time. There is so much I want to get done.

7. DD has slept like crap at night so hopefully that means a long nap today.

8. I was super excited to get a book credit from Amazon this morning due to their settlement with publishers on kindle book prices. I ordered three new kids books for Easter presents for DD and I still have a good chunk left!

9. I need a new book to read, too! I just finished Gillian Flynns Dark Places and it's haunting me.

10. Time to make a to do list. It will be much longer than 10 things.

sheriot · March 2014

1. Looking forward to my non-stress test and PNV today.

2. Couldn't sleep last night (hip pain, making To Do lists in my head) so I cleaned up all of our baby's things and packed them away (because we are *hopefully* moving soon) and worked on Thank You notes. H woke up this am and was shocked.

3. We are *hopefully* moving soon. Just need to find a place to live. Once we nail that down, I think I will be far less stressed.

4. There is a distinct possibility we could have a child and move within the same week/two weeks.

5. H has started working construction (he is a full time MA student at night) and really likes it. Yesterday he told me he wanted to take the firefighter exam and become a firefighter as well. Overachiever.

6. My dog has started nuzzling and licking my belly (with a shirt on, obviously). I was really surprised the first time he did it, he's pretty aloof and not at all the "nurturing" type.

7. Can't wait to see him around a newborn...

8. Just realized I have no idea what to do with a breast pump, how to store milk, etc.

9. I am curious to see how many of these things I am told to learn/practice will actually come naturally once I have this baby.

10. Ironically, this is the most uncomfortable I've been in eight months but I am actually really enjoying pregnancy more now. Maybe it's because I know time is almost up. Regardless, it's cool. I feel like I have a little buddy with me all the time.

ArmyMedic7588 · March 2014

1. Trying to get everything squared away for our trip to Myrtle Beach tomorrow! So much to get done!

2. Super excited for DH and hope his testing and interview go really well when we're down there. Keeping fingers crossed! This could be a huge life change for us and really help in every way possible.

3. My heart burn needs to GO AWAY!

4. These BH/period like cramping is getting really annoying. But not frequent enough to warrant a call to OB.

5. My OB finally prescribed a muscle relaxer for my back pain! So happy I can finally take something other than tylenol when it gets really bad.

6. Although I'm excited for the beach, I'm not looking forward to 10 hrs in the truck. Ugh.

7. Wish we could be doing this trip when it's warmer down there! Of course when we have to go it's only gonna be high 40s/low 50s.

Would love some 70 degree weather finally!

8. My army company threw me a surprise baby shower friday night. They are AMAZING and got us some awesome stuff! Didn't expect some of the items we got from them (I'm not really close to people there yet, so relatively expensive items were so surprising!).

9. Baby's crib bedding is coming in a day early! So happy! It was on back order and then I got an email saying it would arrive tomorrow (which we'll be away by then. Was kinda sad since we've been waiting a month for it now!)... Super excited to see it in the crib!

10. I really have chocolate munchies/cravings lately. I wanna make brownies... I think I'm gonna do it! Which means I gotta help eat them all before we leave tomorrow morning! Can't let them go to waste! Yup, now its decided. Finish ironing DH's suit and then make brownies! (I think nesting is kicking in. OH SHIT! WATCH OUT FAMILY!!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My cousin is taking the test on April 26. The application deadline was for 3/16/14 but you can pay the late fee of $50 and apply by 3/31/2014 (I know all of this because my cousin and I did the research together)

LoveIsAll25 · March 2014

1. I have never participated in 10 things Tuesday.

2. My birthday is this Sunday.

3. Normally I don't care about birthdays but it's an excuse to go out to eat.

4. My toddler ask me everyday when is the baby coming and why is he taking so long. I find this adorable.

5. I am attempting a VBAC but l keep dreaming about ending up with another c-section.

6. I am running out of things to write so I will write random things from now on.

7. I was born in Dominican Republic.

8. I moved to the U.S.A. when I was 8 years old.

9. I hate Chinese food.

10. Everyone in my family loves Chinese food and are constantly trying to find the most authentic Chinese restaurant in our State.

ho11yday · March 2014

1) we finally got our state taxes back for a car we purchased but didn't (fraudulent on the seller's side of the deal)

2) after 6 months of being a single car household, we will now have three cars again. Yay.

3) I still need to pre-register at the hospital

4) one of my favorite employees is leaving for a new location next week. We will be throwing a good bye potluck with eggrolls, boba, fried okra, and some Filipino dish with chicken.

5) we are going to the zoo with DS today. I'm hoping 2 years old is not too young and its not too hot today.

6) I also hope the library has the free passes so DH and I can get in for free.

7) I burned myself with my heating pad in January. The scab is still there. At this rate I'm going to recover from child birth before I heal from it.

8) I am so excited that I won't be driving the minivan as my daily driver after this weekend.

9) only thing, I wish this new car was manual as I miss driving stick. Instead it is automatic with an option to use paddle shifters in a certain mode. Guess who is going to be driving using paddle shifters?

10) oh...we got bonus this year. Since transferring to my old store, I hadn't gotten bonus in three years, so this was a pleasant surprise.

dogsombrero · March 2014

1. I'm getting impatient for our new car to show up.

2. We only ordered it Sunday so I'm an ass thinking it will be here soon but they said by Friday so we'll see.

3. It's my first new car and DH's too. It was actually his idea, he said we've been driving shitty cars for way too long and he wants his boy to be safe. (awwwww!)

4. I have an ultrasound next Tuesday because apparently I'm huge, even though I've been huge (fundal height) the whole time. I saw a new midwife today and she wanted it, even though I'm 99.99% sure things are fine I'm not complaining about seeing the little guy again.

5. My SIL (the really awful one I've posted about before) is due tomorrow. I'm excited about her baby but I'm dreading dealing with the asshatty AW crap.

6. MIL text me saying she hopes SIL goes late and I go at 38 weeks so the babies will have the same birthmonth/be closer in age. She's a silly lady but I really do love her to bits.

7. My Grandpa isn't doing so great and is in the hospital with heart issues (3rd time in 6 months). He's 86 and was a severe alcoholic for many years so I'm not holding out for a major health improvement.

8. I wish he was able to just go peacefully in the next few days instead of getting stabilized and sent home only to return weeks later unresponsive again.

9. I had to have DH tie one of my sneakers yesterday. I could get the right side but it hurt reaching for the left. It was a major holy crap moment.

10. I'm waiting for a dramafest to break out on TB so I have some distractions. Anyone see anything juicy on any of the boards?

lrmrtn · March 2014

1. Had my 32 wk appt today. Everything is on target, including my swollen ankles.
2. OB said my bp has been the same at every appointment (low normal) so they're not worried about pre-e anymore.
3. DH's temp job that he was counting on going perm is probably not going to renew his contract. Probably because he' s too competent.
4. I'm exhausted from working 3 jobs and going back to school but can't scale anything back due to #3.
5. Shower #1 is this weekend. So excited!
6. Am stalking my registry every 5 minutes.
7. Super stressed about our financial situation once baby comes since I won't be working for a couple months.
8. My temp job may make me perm post baby.
9. I was really good with my eating habits til now and I'm just like f**k it. Hence the twix bar.
10. Same with the gym. I went from 4x week to maybe 1-2x per week. I'm not a gym rat but it helps with my swelling and keep baby weight down.

There's a lady on 3rd tri going on about bad Ju-Ju and witches. It's more hilarity than drama. Her first post is written like a Stephanie Meyer novel. It's the thread about not wanting someone to hold her bundle of joy.

dogsombrero · March 2014

@awc1986 I saw that! Wtf? Strange yes but not all-out dramafest like I'm hoping. Maybe I should start watching soap operas.

awc1986 · March 2014

@ljbreck‌ - I'm a little disappointed that thread hasn't blown up, with all the crazy she's spouting. However, I think our Kauai baby moon thread could get interesting.

ns1 · March 2014

@sheriot - I wouldn't say things came "naturally" to me with #1, not like maternal instinct or anything. But I was amazed by how quickly and efficiently I was able to determine what I needed to know and get an answer. You figure everything out pretty quickly when you have to.

ns1 · March 2014

1. 2 of my co-workers insist on throwing me a shower even though I had DD 2.5 years ago and they had a shower then. I feel very weird about it but know they are just being sweet.
2. DD is sinking deeper and deeper into the terrible twos.
3. My boss keeps putting off learning some of the stuff I do. I think she thinks I'm going to be "on call" during maternity leave - surprise surprise!
4. I am also becoming addicted to Dr. Pepper after being diligent about avoiding caffeine.
5. I want to wear yoga pants 24/7.
6. I am scared I will bawl like a baby when I leave DD to have this LO.
7. DH is being a sweetie and painting my toenails to save me the $40 pedicure I wanted every week.
8. I really want to see The Book Thief.
9. DH and I need a date night before #2 arrives but I'm afraid I'll fall asleep if we go to a movie and there aren't a lot of options around here.
10. I think LO flipped because I'm feeling more rib jabs than vagina kicks.
