10 Things Tuesday

sparklingdiamond · April 2014

1. Now I am starting to get uncomfortable in this pregnancy. It really hasn't been bad up until now.

2. I am also really ready to meet him!

3. We finally got his room all cleaned up.

4. It was full of stuff after the shower and after I ordered a bunch of stuff online.

5. I have eaten wayyy too much sugar this pregnancy.

6. Is tax season over yet??

7. My anniversary is next week and hopefully we will be able to at least go out to dinner.

8. I just hope that the end of the bad storms has come. I know we need the rain, but I don't want more tornadoes and hail!

9. I want to keep buying baby things. I need to be stopped!

10. I have a lot of clothes from the shower that are size 0-3 months and don't know how many of that size I will need!

Jennyinheaven · April 2014

1. I have really bad heartburn right now, this concerns me more because I am meeting a friend a this delicious Guatemalan restaurant for lunch and am afraid I won't be able to enjoy 2. I hate that when I type 10 things from mobile because they don't line up evenly. 3. I miss hugging, snuggling with DH without belly 4. My dreams have taken on a whole new level of bizarreness this week 5. Before anyone corrects me I know bizzareness is not a real word 6. My baby has taken to balling up tightly and pushing on my rib cage 7. It hurts and interrupts my sleep 8. I wake up everyday at 5 am if I need to or not but feel totally exhausted by 8am 9. I know the baby needs 3 more weeks to be fully cooked but I am so ready for her to be on the outside. 10. Easter and pregnancy don't mix for me, I am way to tempted to eat Cadbury eggs every day

bumpuser9353653 · April 2014

1. I have an u/s to check baby's size today. Excited to see her chubby little face :-)

2. Have to go to the DMV after my appointment and SO not looking forward to it.

3. We just bought MIL a used car since FIL won't (she watches DD and almost never leaves the house).

4. DH is bringing the car to their house tonight.

5. MIL will be so happy; Not so sure about FIL...

6. I hate that they make everyone drink juice at the u/s appointments. So much sugar -blech! (35g sugar in 10oz of juice!)

7. Technician confirmed baby is still a girl. DD2 will be here soon!

8. She has my nose just like DD1 :-)

9. Now we really have to figure out what her name will be!

10. I want to go back to bed.

laurblum · April 2014

1. I don't remember what a good night sleep feels like.

2. I want this child out of me, but I want to make it to my due date so I can go to one last movie in the theaters to see "Neighbors" the week before.. And so LO is nice and healthy of course.

3. I too suffer from Cadbury Cream Egg addiction.

4. Baby is sitting on a nerve and doesn't show any signs of moving.

5. The nursery is almost done!

6. I need to pack my hospital bag, but I am lazy as hell.

7. Finished all my birthing classes, and baby care classes. One last breast feeding class and I'm done.

8. We still don't have a definite name.

9. I am just now starting to experience heartburn/reflux and holy shit it hurts.

10. I want pancakes. Now.

ArmyMedic7588 · April 2014

1. Had our shower this weekend, it was awesome! Had a lot of fun, but very happy it's over. MIL was starting to go insane.

2. 33 weeks today... I would be happy if I could wake up tomorrow and it's 40 weeks! haha

3. Went through the mountain of gifts yesterday. I think I over did it a little, my back is killing me today.

4. Someone bought me the breast pump!!! OMG!!! That is such a huge weight off our shoulders now.

5. I surprised DH by putting together the drawers for the dresser in the nursery yesterday while he was at work. He got the rest of the thing together, but ran out of time to get the drawers since we went out to dinner with friends.

6. There's so many tiny clothes to go through and wash!!!

7. We finally told everyone we're having a girl!! Although someone must have been very confident it was gonna be a boy because we got a basket of gifts that had like 4 very definite boy outfits... Can't even try to pass them off as tom boyish! So I'm giving them to a friend who had a little boy 2 months ago.

8. I have to run out to do errands today and I really don't want to. The weather is so crappy out, I thought it was supposed to be nice today! WTF weather!?

9. I know my boobies got a bit bigger with pregnancy... obviously. But didn't realize how much the dress I bought for the shower/a friend's wedding really accentuates them. Looked in the mirror half way through the shower and HOLY BOOBS!! DH was staring at them haha

10. I've been having racing heart, shortness of breath, dizzy, seeing floaters (like sparklers in front of my eyes), and a few other things the past 2 weeks that are getting more frequent. Told OB and she's testing my thyroid now.

We'll see what comes from the results soon hopefully. Didn't worry about the symptoms individually (cause duh except the floaters those are normal pregnancy symptoms), but when the floaters started and things happened when I was sitting and relaxing I started getting worried. Hopefully we figure this out.

Magheeta · April 2014

1. My shower was this past weekend, and it was perfect!

2. Both sides of the family drove me nuts, but that was expected.

3. All washable items have been washed!

4. I'm about halfway through my Thank You cards. Thank you, burst of energy.

5. Today is DH's bday! Poor guy works late, so we probably won't celebrate until Friday.

6. I'm in what's hopefully my last busy spell at work before ML!

7. We tour the hospital this Friday. I'm hoping I don't forget to bring my questions.

8. Next Dr. Appt. is Monday, and I'm going back to my doc after seeing the PA that past couple of times.

9. I'm hoping little man has hit his growth spurt and doesn't slow down anymore.

10. I hate the sound of gum popping/smacking. It sends me into an irrational rage.

motoLyn · April 2014

1) I can't handle 4-5 pee breaks in the middle of the night. This shat is cray cray.

2) The rolling movements are so much more preferable to the jabbing and kicking unless LO decides to head butt my cervix and I think its the equivalent of getting kicked in the balls.

3) Baby mapping is NO JOKE, took me like 30 minutes to figure out the differences in the abbreviations.

4) I feel bad my DH, he's under so much pressure from work and trying to get stuff done at home before LO arrives that he hasn't had time to himself.

5) My wardrobe choices are slowly dwindling down. My upper body is getting to big for some pieces that used to fit or be loose on me. NOT MY BELLY but my chest.

6) If the temp here training to take my place tells me one more time that I feel hot in my office is because I'm big as a house I will throw a stapler at her.

7) I feel like a T-rex when driving my car now, my arms are straight out.

8) I cannot wait for my last week of work next week, but then I wonder what the hell do I do with my time?

9) I'm looking forward to my 36 week appt this Thursday with the MW, to talk further about what to do when I go into labor.

10) I need to pee.

Jennyinheaven · April 2014

What is a padsicle?

awc1986 · April 2014

1) this is my last week at work!

2) seriously, I have 3 days left!

3) well it's 2.5 because I leave early tomorrow for an antenatal appointment!

4) that's basically 21 working hours left!

5) so in 72 hours I'll be officially on maternity leave!

6) I'm not going back until January!

7) I'm training my replacement this week and have handed over most of my work already, so I'm chillin' most of the day.

8) just 3 more days of sitting in ridiculous traffic!

9) can't wait until I can just move around at my own pace and get some proper nesting done. My back will be grateful.

10) can you tell I'm excited about this?

NorthernGal248 · April 2014

1 - This weekend I'm taking all of my spring/summer clothes out of storage.

2 - I have no idea how I'm going to choose what stays and what goes considering I can't try anything on to make sure it actually fits!

3 - I bought tickets for June to go see my sister in Portland!

4 - I cannot go into labor before 38 weeks, in order to make sure that I can still use those tickets :-S

5 - I can't wait until all the baby stuff starts arriving!

6 - It's really weird seeing baby stuff in our living room and knowing it's for OUR baby.

7 - DH and I found the perfect mom car for me!

8 - We have to sell our spare car in order for us to get it! Prayers for a quick sale would be appreciated!!!

9 - I am so jealous of those who can wear shoes! My feet can only fit into double wide slippers!

10 - I am so thankful for my ultra understanding supervisor!

Bootsie327 · April 2014

1) Whenever I get up from a seated or laying down position, I feel like I've been hit by a truck. All my joints hurt! I think the weight gain of the last 8.5 months has finally taken its toll!

2) It would be nice to go one day without having a little pee come out without my permission.

3) I feel like I've gotten so much done for LO but there are still tons of little projects here and there that are really adding up, it's overwhelming and I hope I can get it all done in time!

4) My boss had to go and be a captain buzzkill today and tried to estimate when in August I'd be back in the office.

5) I have been craving grapefruit like a mofo this week.

6) Yesterday, I had to wear real shoes and socks for the first time in a few days, and DH had to help me put the socks on because I can't reach anymore.

7) We had some landscapers come out to assess all of the work we want done, and I'm super antsy waiting for the estimates to see what, if anything, we can afford to do this year. We are trying to keep things low maintenance with a brand new LO.

8) I'm really excited to be going to NYC to see Aladdin on Broadway this Saturday, but also kind of dreading waddling around the city and the ensuing marshmallow feets!

9) I am so excited to only have about 2.5 weeks of work left, I can hardly stand it.

10) The new project manager starts next week, so once I transition things to him, it'll be smooth sailing until I'm out!

Emmagk · April 2014

1) I fell on the ice on Friday and bashed my pelvis and hip nicely and have been hobbling since. I was so annoyed that I made it all winter without falling and then fell in April. There shouldn't be ice in April FFS!!

2) I have a chiropractor appointment tonight and seriously hoping he can get my pelvis back to a manageable level of discomfort

3) Today was my last docs appointment with my family doctor before transferring to the obgyn practice. I really like all the staff at my family doc so I'm a little sad that I wont be back until after baby arrives but I'm excited because obgyn care means I'm in the final stretch

4) Babies room is nearly done, we just need to get the dresser and frame some pictures

5) Bathroom reno started last Thursday and the tub is already in. Our bathroom was a sky blue relic from the 60s and the old tub was so shallow. The new one is almost double the depth, i can't wait to take a bath in it.

6) Since we only have 1 full bathroom I've been showering at work. I only live 5 mins from the office DH and I go up there in the evening when its empty to try to avoid people

7) I tried to ladyscape last night with the trimmer I always use and my bump has grown considerably since last time i used it. Couldn't see what I was doing and managed to nick myself

8) I had nachos for lunch even though I knew they'd give me mad heartburn. I now have mad heartburn

9) We had a rainfall warning today and I was excited about it since it's washing away so much snow.

10) i only have 3.5 weeks left at work then I'm off for a year!

undercoverst · April 2014

1.) Went to the OB today and baby girl flipped! I can't believe it!!
2.) I got my GBH (?) test done and my TDAP. And scheduled the next 3 appointments so I'm feeling super accomplished already!
3.) I really dislike my chiropracter but he gets results. After baby girl is born I'm switching. He's too huggy and a sales man. Bleh
4.) I'm pretty sure I don't post enough to this board to do a whole new thread when my baby is born. I just worry that I will and everyone will just be like, who are you. lol. I read every thread I'm just a paranoid people pleaser that assumes she doesn't have much to add to the conversation.
5.) ok that last one was a bit I ever sharing.
6.) I am loving that it got to 80 degrees this week! The beach is my best friend. I even put shorts on my fat legs!
7.) My hemorrhoids have grown. Didn't think that was possible to be so upset by something I can't see with out a mirror!!
8.) More people are understanding than I thought would be when I tell them I'm only doing this pregnancy thing once. (We were already in the middle of adoption)
9.) SNL seems to be funny less than half the time.
10.) I am really trying to savor these last few weeks with just my husband and I. Last night we went out to eat to one of our favorite restaurants and it was great!!

Kaylee524 · April 2014

1. I got a crazy energy surge starting yesterday. People keep saying it's nesting, but I'm only at 36 weeks. LO's got to stay put for at least a couple more weeks!

2. Due to above mentioned energy, my couch is currently covered in freshly-laundered and folded baby clothes.

3. Baby socks are SO TINY.

4. I didn't go to work yesterday so that I could take full advantage of the extra energy. I was going to have 6 hours of overtime this week, and I had a doc appt, so it's ok.

5. Speaking of work, I'm super jealous of all these Canadian and UK moms who get to start their leave so early since they have decent maternity leave policies!

6. My leave doesn't start until 2 days before my due date. Boo.

7. This past weekend we got all of our baby things. Now I feel fully stocked for LO to arrive!

8. DH made fun of me for buying the Sleep Sheep.

9. LO has the hiccups right now.

10. My back is killing me ... I may have overdone it yesterday.

Sorrynotsorry.

No but seriously, I don't know how you guys do it, working up to your due date. It seems so unfair. I fully appreciate how lucky I am to be able to leave work at 37 weeks and go back up to a year later.

hfooter · April 2014

1. I am so ready to be done.

2. This kid is so active, scares me for what he may be like when he is a toddler.

3. We got new carpets in upstairs and they are amazing. I was questioning our decision to replace the 17 year old ones that were there, but after walking on these I am ecstatic.

4. All the stuff that was upstairs is in our formal living and dining room. We wont be able to move it back up till this weekend when DH isnt working and his brother can help.

5. Even though I have been working from bed all day, I feel like I have been pretty productive.

6. I just want my normal pooping schedule back.

7. I want to eat all the foods, but I can't fit them in. It's horrible.

8. I am so ready for summer.

9. I have been falling asleep by 9 the last few nights. That is even with taking a nap during the day.

10. I love my new car (Subaru Outback).

BeesKnees181 · April 2014

1. Can I get a hell yea for Spring?! The daffodils are blooming and the sun is shining.

2. Every past running injury I have endured seems to be coming back at this point in the pregnancy. Not because I am running...most likely because of all the weight I am carrying on the same old joints.

3. Back to prenatal yoga this week...with a much bigger belly than two weeks ago!

4. I feel a little guilty about taking maternity leave when there is so much to do here at work...feel bad about others having to take on more to cover for me while I am gone.

5. My husband called maternity leave my "summer vacation." I promptly corrected him.

6. Today was a co-workers birthday, and we ate strawberry shortcake. The girls had a dance party as soon as I finished.

7. My appetite is off...or more like normal / pre-pregnancy.

8. The nursery painting is underway...so excited to get their room all pulled together.

9. I have roughly 10 more thank you notes to write. Maybe I can finish those tonight.

10. I really hope that we can make it to 37 weeks.

sisterjanet · April 2014

1. Based on how I feel, it would surprise me if I hadn't started to dilate already.

2. I finally ordered the crib! And the mattress, and the cover thing, and went and got sheets at Target.

3. I also got a gate for Benjamin's room since the pediatrician said we should have the gate up at least a little while ahead of transitioning him into a bed. He's more little boy and less toddler all the time.

4. I discovered today that I say wolf wrong. Benjamin can say it the way I say it, but when I told my sister on the phone that he can say it, she was like "what are you saying? He can say woof?" Oops.

5. Using applesauce instead of butter makes for very cake-like baked goods. The quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie continues.

6. The Lord John books are not what I was expecting, but not bad. I just hadn't realized they were basically historical mysteries.

7. Right now, I'm reading Greek tragedies, historical/what-all Diana Gabaldon stuff, and Star Wars novels.

8. My memory is pretty bad. I wonder sometimes if people who don't like to reread have really good memories. I love rereading.

9. Talking Heads is so strange, but so good.

10. If you think Frank Sinatra's rendition of "Mack the Knife" is the best, I must assume you simply haven't heard Bobby Darin sing it. I love the glee of his performance with such gruesome lyrics, especially the 'eek!'

ho11yday · April 2014

1) I'm done with the nightmares.

2) last week's nightmare featured DH hanging himself because he thought I was cheating on him with a car salesman.

3) this week's nightmare featured a threesome with DH and doogie howser's shrimp penis, my mom finding out, and us having to move.

4) I've been up since 5am as a result. I'm tired.

5) DH has a term paper he needs my help writing.

6) I know nothing about philosophy but I do know a lot about how to bullshit and get an A for it.

7) I love Chicago style deep dish.

8) I hate oregano.

9) I'm taking a nap until DS wakes up.

10) I hate fielding work calls on my day off but I feel guilty if I ignore them. I have a feeling I'll be getting calls while I'm in labor. Not answering those.
