10 Things Tuesday
sparklingdiamond
member
1. Why is it only Tuesday??
2. I have an u/s on Friday to check size and position and I can't wait!
3. Is tax season over yet? :-(
4. I may have had chocolate for breakfast this morning. And plan to have more later.
5. I can't believe how fast time is going by now!
6. In just two weeks, it will be our third wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's already been three years!
7. The weather here is supposed to be warm all week, which is exciting.
8. I bought a bunch of baby stuff yesterday using the BRU 20% off coupon.
9. But it makes me mad that you can't use it on "hot deals" and they mark everything off by like $5 so you can't use it on those items.
10. I am trying really hard not to buy unnecessary things, but it is hard!

Re: 10 Things Tuesday
1) DH woke me up at 1am, thrashing around the house in a mood because...well I don't even know why. Anyway, I'm exhausted.
2) I'm having a baby next month (or possibly this month).
3) Some women on here are definitely having their babies this month!
4) By boss has gone behind my back again to do something secretively. I'm a retail buyer and said that I would be unable to travel to a buy tomorrow because I'm just too pregnant to be hanging out on the London underground. He's secretly got one of our store managers to go in my place, but hasn't told anyone. I don't mind the person going, but I just don't see why I've not been informed. They'll be doing my job, so surely I should know?
5) My bathroom reno is supposed to be finished on Wednesday, but I think it's gonna take until the end of the week. I can't remember the last time I had a shower that wasn't hand held.
6) I totally didn't do a hand held shower this morning and washed in the sink instead. Pits and bits. At least I sit on my own at work.
7) LO's nursery rug should be arriving in the next couple of days.
8) Her crib and changing table/dresser are arriving in the first week of my maternity leave.
9) 8 more days left at work!
10) I can't wait to get home and hang out on my gym ball.

2) I went to sleep at 730 and I still woke up dead tired!
3) I don't like all the random April Fools posts , I guess I'm a jaded pregnant chick but it's more annoying than funny.
4) my chocolate muffin was so good this morning, I may have another.
5) I am done with babies room. I seriously walk by and stare in every chance I can.
6) I have my bag packed for the hospital, but I feel like I'm forgetting something!
7) I don't have a cutesy outfit to bring baby home in. I have a few contenders but they are kinda boring
8) it's only Tuesday and I feel so ready for the weekend.
9) these last 4 weeks are going to drag.

2) I really want to know what position the LO is in, can't wait for Thursday
3) I think I want to name my one hemmie "Larry" we have got to known one another
4) My boss knows me to well I tried pranking him this morning saying I was at the hospital, he knew better.
5) Did manage to April Fools my husband this morning. But I took it easy on him.
6) I am excited for all the 20% off coupons I'm getting in my email address for BBB and BRU.
7) I'm feeling pretty today, its probably the tunic I'm wearing and how my husband likes the color on me, I'll take what I can get.
8) If my coworker comments one more time on how big she thinks my baby will be when he arrives I will fling yogurt in her hair.
9) I know today is going to be an unproductive day at work, but I'm looking forward to home made pizza tonight.
10) I really need it to be Friday today.
2. The power went out last night at 11pm. Came back on within a couple minutes, but then all the stupid electronics in the house reset and beeped and I totally didn't get a good night's sleep after that.
3. The baby monitor in the basement is still beeping but I don't feel like going down just to turn it off.
4. I really want iced coffee right now
5. DH took DD to bed the last two nights, which is a major step forward b/c she's been VERY attached to me at bedtime the last few months.
6. DD is obsessed with using water in her tea set right now. It's cute but she doesn't understand to only pour a little bit in each cup, rather than the entire tea pot into one cup. This causes problems b/c she wants to do it herself, but that leaves us with big messes to clean up.
7. It needs to be summer so we can stick her outside to play with water.
8. DD is getting good at using the potty at home.
9. We asked MIL to start asking DD about using the potty while she's at her house during the day. I even said how often (like every 30min or so and before/after her nap) and that we leave her diaper off after changes so she's more aware ... She asked 0 times on Monday and 2 times yesterday. Not sure where the disconnect is.
10. I'm eating fresh grapes, apple-wood smoked cheddar, and Gouda. So good!
2. Waiting for our car seat and base to come in...thank goodness we tried out the britax set on Saturday and found out the fit leaves no room in our jeep
Liberty. After a freak out we finally found a system that gives more room. 35 w Preggo need this car seat installed.
3. DH is going to pick up the click and go system and a belly band it tomorrow that I ordered using the 20% off a BRU yay!
4. Annoyed DH hasn't put the curtains up in the nursery. I gotta make sure he does this tomorrow on his day off...nesting much?
5. Speaking of nesting...I've now added the cleaning out of the front closet and storage bench in our foyer to the completed list this morning
6. Still so much to do ugh
7. Baby boy has consistently been bum up on my right side where he loves to push and kick...this morning seems his cute bum has switched to the left which is so weird! I'm not used to feeling movement there.
8. That new oculus movies previews scare me every time there's a commercial...I'm such a wimp, yet one of my fave tv shows is ghost adventures lol
9. Maternity photo shoot this Saturday, excited but nervous...stupid body image issues
10. This is my last week of work...officially start my LOA then mat leave once baby comes. Excited but nervous too!
1. All I want to do is buy baby things. My new obsession is newborn diapers and baby carriers.
2. Heartburn is killer. I can't wait to not have chronic heartburn.
3. The babies are not moving much today. I always have a mini-freak out when things are so quiet in there.
4. My boss is freaking about covering my share of work while I am on maternity leave. I am getting tons of pressure to jump right back into travel status as soon as I return to work. I gave him my maternity leave notice in November. So, his freaking out sort of aggravates me...he has had plenty of time to devise a plan to cover my work while I am on maternity leave. Instead, he is putting a lot of the work off until I return. So bummed.
5. Our dogs need to be bathed. They stink. Time to plan a doggy spa day.
6. There was a bird stuck in our woddburning stove last night. I hope he got out. Little guy wouldn't land so we could not put him back outside.
7. It is a rainy, gloomy day and I would love to be at home.
8. I declare this is the last time I will wear this shirt. It no longer is serving it's purpose of covering my entire mid-section tactfully.
9. I am getting nervous about labor and delivery. I hope our childbirth prep class will ease some of my fears.
10. I wish I had more motivation to nest in the rest of the house. Lately, I just want to play with baby clothes. Hoping I get the urge this weekend. the house could use a big time spring cleaning before these little nuggets arrive.
1) had a sonogram to see babys position and size....
2)baby is in position with head down and toosh by my belly button and all limbs in my left side
3) real excited for maternity photos on Thursday
4) pray its a nice day when I have my photos....there calling right now for rain
5) I literally should leave for maternity leave now since all I can do or think about it the baby....I hardly get any work done these days
6)excited that the remodel upstairs is officially done and it came out great...phew
7) kicking myself for agreeing to do my sister in laws baby shower....I always take on too much
8) need to motivate myself to pack my hospital bag and start really organizing his clothes
9) nursery is done just waiting on the bedding and carpet to arrive so I can finally share photos
10) not looking forward to a wedding I have to attend this weekend....the thought of being dressed up and having to actualy do my makeup and hair makes me want to puke.....
2. Got a new mattress yesterday...sleep AND rest came in the same night!
3. Until my hips started screaming at me again.
4. I'm SO over GD...sugar was great this morning (89), then a bowl of cereal later, 194!!! OVER. IT.
5. Today is the first day that I have felt a semblance of energy in the past week.
6. Still being somewhat lazy.
7. I suck at 10 Things Tuesday.
8. I have a to-do list the size of Montana, and all I can do is laugh at it.
9. DH is on XBox despite me listing some things I wanted to do today, hence my lack of motivation.
10. April Fool's Day is stoopid.
2. My elliptical workouts are getting very painful. Probably need to stop. :-/
3. I am in major nesting mode. With lots of breaks because it wears me out.
4. Today I HAD to clean out all of the kitchen cabinets. You know, in case baby needs to get a snack or something.
5. C-section one month from today!!!
6. Loving the beautiful spring weather after such a long, rough winter.
7. Ten things is a lot when you are tired.
8. Dr. Pepper. So good.
9. I try to drink soda only on weekends, but have needed a caffeine boost on occasion and still have a coffee aversion.
10. Can't wait to like coffee again!
That's all, I'm a grumpy bitch today.
2. That's right, math similes.
3. Graham's number is awesomely huge though, you should check it out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham's_number
4. DH has explained that number to me at least three times. I can understand the concept, more or less, but it makes my brain feel broken trying to really completely understand it, and some of the other math stuff he tells me about.
5. Benjamin decided today was the day to try and learn how to descend stairs. He would only try it like a short version of me while holding onto my arms though, instead of scooting down the stairs on his butt or facing the stairs and climbing down like a backwards crawl.
6. Benjamin also recently learned how to have imaginary light saber duels. He got the oven mitt and held onto it with a more-or-less sword grip and made his version of light saber sounds, so I obliged him with a duel while I was making breakfast.
7. Speaking of light sabers, DH's taste in books is three categories: 1. classics, 2. nonfiction of a math, science, or personal investment nature, and 3. Star Wars novels.
8. I'm seriously thankful for the Star Wars novels even though his taste in classics prompts me to make more high brow decisions once in a while, because I love reading and rereading the Mercy Thompson series, which totally baffles him (partly because it's urban fantasy, which he doesn't get at all, and partly because I reread the series at least once a year and have been doing so since at least 2009).
9. The Mercy Thompson series is to me as the blue blanket is to Linus.
10. Does Linus have a last name? Furthermore, is Brown really Charlie Brown's last name? It must be, but it seems weird to think of Sally as Sally Brown for some reason.
