Ten Things Thursday

sunshineinmay09 · April 2014

Good morning! It's Thursday again.

Thanks again to @Qfrump for taking this over for me.

1) I am so done being pregnant. I know that sounds like a horrible thing to say, but I've hit a wall and just want to be done now.

2) It's 9:30 in the morning and I'm still in my pjs!

3) DS slept through the night last night for the first time in ages. I think it's the nightlight that helped that my mom got for him.

4) I'm hoping to run to Walmart and Kohls today to grab the last few things that I feel I need before baby comes.

5) My coffee is cold

6) My mom came over Saturday and helped me clean my house, well, she did most of it. It's nice not having to do much, except pick things up. She's coming back over this Saturday to clean again. Thank goodness for moms.

7) We finally the got the nursery nook set up in our bedroom. Funny how things suddenly come together. I just have to make the ribbon mobile to go above the crib.

8) I need to go downstairs and find the rest of my missing burp cloths.

9) Today the high is 66 degrees. Yay! But it's supposed to rain later. I don't mind that though. It's better than snow.

10) I've really enjoyed running TTT and getting to know all you ladies!

Thanks @maydaygirl590 - almost there!

1. I love sunshine.

2. I need a nap today.

3. I love those soft peppermints...I could seriously eat 50 of them in minutes.

4. I may need a caffeinated beverage today.

5. I don't like to watch golf typically, but for some reason I'm excited about the Masters.

6. May 5th (my A/S) seems so close, yet so far at the same time.

7. I'm really hoping it doesn't rain on Saturday. We are going to my nephew's little league parade!

8. I want to have a date night dinner soon.

9. I love Bravo, HGTV, and TLC.

10. I still watch Grey's Anatomy.

@maydaygirl590-Thanks for doing TTT! You are so close! I can't remember, do you have a day scheduled or just whenever LO decides to come? And YAY for 66 degrees! It was 48 degrees outside this morning and I sent DD to daycare in flip flops. I'm SO happy for nice weather finally!

@nyg2040 I'm with you on the sunshine! I love it, too! FX time goes fast for you for the A/S! May 5th will be here before we know it!

1. I leave for AZ with DD on Saturday to visit my cousin.

2. I'm super excited to do some hiking with my cousin Monday morning in the mountains.

3. The day after I get back I have my first drs. appt. and ultrasound.

4. I'm very excited and nervous for #3.

5. I'm going to my favorite mexican restaurant for supper tonight and so excited for queso dip!

6. If you remember the GTKY from yesterday, spicy food is my main craving so it makes it that much better.

7. I ran outside quick for something this morning with shorts and T-Shirt on, and bare feet and it was glorious!

8. My boss is traveling today so I will have a slow day in the office.

9. #8 will allow me to be on the bump a lot.

10. I think it's time for my wheat thins and pepper jack cheese snack.

Ok, I'll play today:

1) Pinterest secret boards are my friend.

2) I found a tick on my dog yesterday evening and am freaking out about lyme disease. Taking her to the vet to get checked out today.

Poor thing.

3) My co-worker is driving me crazy. She's a food-pusher.

4) The weather here has been B-E-A-UTIFUL and I'm loving soaking it up.

5) Best pregnancy drink: sparkling pomegranate juice with a twist of lime. Try some, just do it. You're welcome.

6) I had my first "holding a newborn baby" dream last night. I didn't want to wake up.

7) For our 6 year wedding anniversary, we're thinking about a road trip with the dogs. Smart or scary? It's hard to tell.

8) We're getting our oven fixed today. The stove top has worked for the last 3 weeks but not the actual baking/broiling element. I'm beyond excited to have a fully-functioning oven again.

9) My therapist told me it would probably be a "good idea" to keep a healthy distance from MH's side of the family during this pregnancy because they are "either consciously or unconsciously hurtful" to me. Well, I mean, I have to follow Doctor's orders right?

10) It's my bumpie and fellow PgAL friends birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY @alilbear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is going to be a great year for you

@nyg2042- I hope you get that nap today! Yay for sunshine! You're making me miss my dish! We got rid of it to help with the budget. Those three channels are my favorites too along with food network. I hope you also get that date night!

@PatientlyWaiting10- Well, we're planning a homebirth/waterbirth, so whenever LO decides to make his/her appearance. I'm praying it'll be sooner rather than later. Have fun on your trip out to AZ. Hiking in the mountains sounds like fun. Enjoy your mexican food while you're there! Also, have fun while the boss is out!

@carlsonbaby2014- I hope your dog is ok. Not sure if you're into such things, but in between flea medicine applications for my cats, I spray them weekly with citronella oil to help repel ticks and things. Oh, have fun on your road trip! I bet your dogs will love it! Where do you plan on going? Yay for a fully functioning oven!

@maydaygirl590 Citronella Essential oil?

Yes. I just use one of those spray bottles that you can get in the travel section of the store. The one with small bottles of shampoos, soaps, deoderants, ect. Then I fill it up, add 75-100 drops of the essential oil (I also add about 20 drops if tea tree oil) and then spray it all over their coats. The bugs don't like the smell of it. It's completely safe for animals and pregnant women.

PatientlyWaiting10 · April 2014

Awesome! I love my essential oils! I don't know very many people who use them so I always get excited when I hear someone else talking about them.

Me too! I thought I was the only person that still watched this. It has become so soap opera-y, but I feel like I can't just abandon the characters!

1. I am currently having a pregnancy hot flash. It came out of no where and is the first time I have had one. But I am literally in a tank top sweating like a pig while everyone in my office has sweaters on.

2. My belly has been REALLY hard all day, which is making sitting down so uncomfortable!

3. My OB is not happy with me that I am refusing cervix checks (other than the first one at 36 weeks.) After that first one, I realized that the stress/discomfort they cause me is not worth whatever value they might have (which even the doctor admits is minor.)

4. My stomach is getting so squished that my cravings are much larger than what I actually have space for!

5. I am getting bad about sitting on my exercise ball.

6. It is finally sunny here and the cherry blossoms have bloomed (I am in the DC area.)

7. I am forcing my husband to take me to the national mall this weekend to walk along the water and see the cherry blossoms. (He does not like to do touristy things/ sightseeing.)

8. I am running out of creative (yet simple) things to make for dinner recently. Any ideas?

9. My cat has been sleeping in the bassinet recently, and I am trying my best to break her of the habit before the baby arrives!

10. My hot flash has now gotten so bad that I have a tank top on, my shoes off, and my hair pulled up with a binder clip.... I am obviously very professional.

sunshineinmay09 · April 2014

@Qfrump- Well, yes to number 10 on your list. I know many women on my BMB (mostly second time moms, though) who fudged their EDD to get the completion discount! No shame though. It IS only an estimate. I hope your maternity photos turn out lovely and that your GTT tomorrow goes well. Sorry to hear about your back.

@mtaylor404- Pregnancy hot flashes are not too much fun! I had one a couple days ago and met my midwife at the door in a tank top and underwear. So, classy... I hear you on the upset stomach too. Not very much fun! Walking around and looking at the cherry blossoms sounds like a nice outing. Enjoy! No ideas on the dinner, I've pretty much given up and have been making lots of breakfast things for dinner.
