Ten Things Tuesday

What'cha got today ladies?

awc1986 · April 2014

1) it's my 2nd day of mat leave and I'm bored as shit.

2) trying not to "do too much" as people keep telling me, but when you're bored as shit, you feel compelled to do chores.

3) waited in for the crib and dresser to be delivered today. Well the crib turned up but the dresser didn't. He couldn't find it on his truck.

4) the above means I now have to wait in for another whole day for the dresser, thus being bored as shit again.

5) I'm so exhausted I've gone back to bed for a lie down.

6) LO has been bearing down on my cervix so hard for the last couple of days, I'm wondering if I'll make it to 40wks.

7) all the heartburn

8) I still haven't bought DH's Easter egg

9) I haven't showered today and have no intention of doing so

10) I can't remember what it's like to sleep 7-8 hrs in a row. I should probably get used to these 2 hour sleep bursts.

1. I hate how quickly my feet and hands get swollen now.

2. Pregnant shower sex is not exciting. Especially when there's an 11" height difference...

3. I made him wait till I was done shaving my legs. Priorities, right? Lol

4. I want a big Cobb salad and then milk and cookies...is that weird?

5. My back hurts.

6. I want to buy another baby carrier for MIL to use (she has a Bjorn which I hate) but DH won't let me b/c we already have a Moby and a Beco Gemini and doesn't want to spend more $$ :-(

7. I might just have to give her the Gemini to use during the week so baby isn't in a "crotch dangler"

8. It's raining today and I love how rich all the colors look on the grass and trees.

9. I wish there was a magic way to get baby to drop down. It'd make me feel better about attempting a VBAC if I knew she was engaged.

10. Work is boring. Can I be done for the day, please?

sparklingdiamond · April 2014

1. I am so over work and don't want to have to work for another month.

2. Unfortunately, I can't afford to take off any time before baby because I need it all for after he is born.

3. I am trying to put in more hours to earn extra PTO....if I can just get in 27 more hours I will at least have four weeks of PTO.

4. It's finally the 15th, which means that the rush to get everyone's taxes in will be over soon and we just have to deal with everyone who is on extension.

5. I had yogurt and blueberries this morning, but am already starving.

6. I am really trying to eat healthier, but it's hard when I keep wanting sugar.

7. Tomorrow is my three year wedding anniversary!

8. It's also my dr appt and GBS test.

9. The baby has been so active the last two days. What is he doing in there??

10. I don't even remember what it is like to get a good night's sleep anymore.

sammy.k · April 2014

1. I'm done. I don't want to be pregnant anymore.

The End.

cbrust · April 2014

1. Got my lab results back (finally!) and I don't have cholestasis. On one hand I'm super glad because who wants to have a complication this late in the game, but I'm also irrationally upset because that means I'm itchy for no reason and there's officially nothing I can do about it.

2. I'm so done being itchy.

3. MIL and FIL moved in this weekend. (we have been living in their second house, now only house since selling their first). and I'm already missing the solitude.

4. I don't think it's safe for me to drive anymore. I can't twist around in my seat to see when backing up and checking to change lanes. booo.

5. I have my last hair appointment tomorrow before baby gets here!

6. My eyesight has gotten terrible being pregnant, but I'm avoiding going to the eye doctor because I'm hoping it corrects itself later.

7. I've been having crazy bad leg cramps during the night and there's nothing worse being stuck laying down like an upside turtle struggling to get up to stretch the cramp out.

8. It's barely 9:30am and I'm ready for a nap.

9. I'm too tired to think of two more

SMM1986 · April 2014

1. I hate the disability company that works with my employer.

2. I am stressing about not getting paid for my time on leave.

3. A few friends had a cleaning crew of 3 women come clean my house for 2 hours as an AMAZING gift. I am embarrassed that they couldn't even get to the living room because time ran out.

4. I don't understand why my dog is good 95% of the time and then randomly craps on the carpet.

5. I want to move.

6. I'm really REALLY trying to enjoy the last few weeks of my last pregnancy ever, but I'm really over it and I want to have my baby.

7. I am so glad my kids are old enough to really understand what is happening with the pregnancy and the concept of a new sibling and that they are happy and excited with no envy or jealousy.

8. I want a Frosty from Wendy's.

9. I have a wicked sunburn.

10. I can't even be mad over the shitty rainy day because I'm grateful it's not snow.

Happypost · April 2014

1. Heartburn please go away! Water should not give me heartburn

(

2. Getting anxious about not having the nursery ready yet.

3. Need to pack a hospital bag soon, but feeling too sick and lazy to do anything.

4. Ugh I don't want to work anymore, but can't afford to leave before LO arrives.

5. Feel like LO will be early...

6. I wish dh would help more around the house. I clean all day and he comes home and destroys it in 5 mins.

7. I can't believe it snowed again last night! Ugh!!!

8. Did I mention heartburn?!

9. Maybe I'll take a bath this afternoon.

10. I just found out my 10yr reunion is 2 months after LO arrives. Hope I can get my waistline down by then.

bumpuser10194737 · April 2014

1. It SNOWED here last night. Like two inches.

2. I want this baby out.

3. But I still want him to cook for a little longer!

4. 16 days until my C-section.

5. Made a drive to Trader Joe's today to stock up on things.

6. Bought some very yummy chocolate.

7. Done with all of my nesting projects except putting screens back in our windows, cleaning my car, and cleaning under the stove and refrigerator.

8. My two year old has been waking up a lot at night. I hope e is over that phase by he time the baby arrives!

9. Looking forward to my MIL's arrival!

10. Can't wait to see and hold this LO.

jjtyler · April 2014

1. I am sick of popping a Zantac at 3 am from the fire that is my heartburn.

2. After my hospital stay last week, you would think I would have come out of my denial that I have 2-4 weeks left max before this baby comes. Nope. Still scheduling meetings and haven't finished packing my bag.

3. I think I finally ate myself past the rice krispies treats addiction.

4. My boss so quickly agreed to my leave plans (which falls outside of my company poilcy), I am wondering if I was stupid to ask for it.

5. I feel this baby moving and kicking. I have seen his little face in 3D. My belly is the size of a large basketball. But I still catch myself a few times a day thinking, holy crap...I am PREGNANT!

6. I am SO SICK of taking my blood pressure. The sound of the machine makes me tense and probably sends it higher.

7. I promised my doc and husband I would work from home at least two days this week. I lied. BUT, in my defense, I am leaving early every day.

8. I'm pretty sure this baby either hates me or is the second coming of Satan....migraines, ectopic scare, cysts, morning sickness outta the ass, high blood pressure, hospital stays, numb fingers, weak hands, peeing my pants like I am just being potty trained....NONE of this with my first pregnancy.

9. I can't wait to get home and eat cookie dough.

10. I want to stop snoring. Woke myself up on the train yesterday. NOT cute.

gutsysneakers · April 2014

1. Best day ever because DH says he can't tell I'm pregnant from behind. I love this guy.

2. My cantaloupe and strawberries were amazing for my morning snack.

3. I had two iced coffees and don't regret either of them.

4. Baby's bag is packed and ready to go.

5. Forcing myself to the gym tonight.

6. Since neither of us (DH or I) want to go grocery shopping, its become a game to see what we can come up with for dinner...last night was pancakes.

7. This baby goes NUTS every time I eat food. LO legit hurts my sides when it flails its arms.

8. It may snow here tonight. WTF. Seriously...WTF.

9. After reading @jjtyler 10 things....I want cookie dough. Thanks.

10. It's pouring outside & I'm supposed to walk from work to my sister's apartment to feed her cat. Why did I agree to do that?

lrmrtn · April 2014

1. I wish the last of my cold would go away.

2. Found out yesterday I am anemic and need to take iron for the rest of the pregnancy.

3. We finally got the crib and changing table so at least LO will have somewhere to sleep.

4. I still have a million things to do and its killing me.

5. Who knew a tiny baby came with so much stuff?

6. I started writing my zillion thank you notes and realized I wasn't signing them from DH as well.

7. Looking forward to Easter mainly because we are going out and the menu looks awesome.

8. Done with being preggers but not ready for LO to be here.

9. Looking forward to our last day trip this weekend.

10. Wish it were 5pm.

PrincessJess19 · April 2014

1) I haven't been to work in a day and a half because I can hardly walk, let alone stand and teach.

2) Not being at work is awesome because I'm totally unhappy there!

3) I feel super guilty that my son is at daycare instead of being home with me.

4) I feel LO may just, in fact, fall out of me, and I'm only 33 weeks.

5) I do anything and everything to avoid getting ready for her. I'm not sure why, but that in itself stresses me out.

6) The fact that LO doesn't have a name is also SUPER stressful.

7) I went 3 for 3 in a sales class Sunday, and even recruited by exhusband! Best. Feeling. Ever.

8) I'm beyond excited that we're having a GIRL!!!

9) I'm done working full weeks due to doctor appointments, and couldn't be more excited!

10) I'm out of food (again)...don't want to go grocery shopping...

Sdufort1216 · April 2014

amen...to the " I'm done being pregnant"

BeesKnees181 · April 2014

1. This Cliven Bundy douche-bag chaps my ass (https://www.thewildlifenews.com/2014/04/14/cliven-bundy-has-no-claim-to-federal-land-and-grazing/). The guy is a self-righteous theif.

2. When I eat chocolate chip cookies, I feel so happy.

3. I barely ate sugar before this pregnancy; are my tastebuds ruined now?

4. The girls are so busy lately - it feels like baby B is right under my right ribs and baby A has had hiccups twice this morning.

5. I want to finish the nursery - it is starting to bother me that I still have so much to do in there.

6. Today, I am going to walk at lunch. I am glad I can still manage a daily walk despite my size.

7. The lunar eclipse was awesome last night/this morning.

8. That may be my last full moon without babies in the house.

9. I can't wait to finish the DIY baby mobiles for the nursery.

10. I wish hubby would let me get a co-sleeper for our room. We have plenty of gift cards, but he thinks we should use one of the cribs instead.

Ask your doc about IronSpan. The hospital wanted to put me on Iron 3-4 times a day and he was horrified at the fact of how constipated I would be. I am now on Ironspan 2X a day and it has a stool softener....so far, so good.

JessElam · April 2014

1. I seriously want sexy time.
2. My DH just shot me down because he doesn't want me to go into labor early because he still hasn't found another job.
3. This is unacceptable to me. I really need some sexy time.
4. I'm 36 wks tomorrow and so ready for this little boy to come.
5. So tired of feeling like a pill bug stuck on it's back trying to get out of bed.
6. I have so much so much to do in preparation for leave from work but I can't focus on anything longer than 5 min.
7. This is a huge disadvantage to working from home.
8. I really need Mexican food.
9. Specifically chicken verde enchiladas.
10. And a side of Tums.

Thanks @jjtyler‌! They gave me something that starts with an F ( I know, big help!) But it said it has a stool softener. This is my 1st day on it so we'll see. Its just weird because I've never had issues until this point so I didn't even consider it a possibility.

NorthernGal248 · April 2014

1 - LO has dropped.

2 - Whenever she hiccups it feels like my whole butt jiggles.

3 - Tax season is over!!!

4 - I am so sick of having to half beg my DH to get stuff done around the house - I don't ask for much.

5 - We have a serious buyer for our Toyota Corolla!!

6 - We can finally buy the SUV I want!

7 - Until we get the SUV we are back to sharing a car...

8 - My hospital bag is almost packed.

@cbrust‌ I wanted to get my eyes checked but most places don't see you in your third trimester just because your eyes change so much! That's crazy to me. More motivation to not go... If you needed it. :-)
