Ten Things Tuesday

bumpuser9353653 · May 2014

Didn't see this posted yet. What's going on today, ladies?

bumpuser9353653 · May 2014

1. One day closer to not working, but still have another 8 days (at most) and they are DRAGGING

2. So glad DH finally got his back checked out so he can recover and start working out again.

3. He's on a health kick now. I'm glad b/c he needs to lose weight, but I'm skeptical on how long it'll last.

4. I feel like this baby is never going to get here. So impatient right now!

5. I'm jealous of all the ladies who have had their babies already.

6. The nursery still isn't done, but we technically still have time since she won't be in there for a couple months.

7. It's so hard to find the motivation to get the shelves hung.

8. I'm meeting my mom for lunch today. Should be good.

9. I have a total of two maternity shirts that actually feel long enough for a proper fit at this point.

10. My dog is lame and always sits *just* out of reach to be pet, even when I call her over. What's up with that?

caycelee · May 2014

1. I'm getting induced Friday...woohoo get outta my belly and into my arms!
2. Three fingers on my right hand have pretty much been numb for a month due to shitty carpal tunnel.
3. My MIL is about to come out of her skin because of induction...so much that I wish we didn't tell anyone until Thursday night.
4. Had a dream last night my sons foot was literally sticking out of my belly
5. Everything is pretty much done as far as the nursery is concerned and that makes me feel GOOD!
6. My right foot is so much worse than my left
7. This heartburn can go to hell!
8. I'm going to meet my boy this weekend!
9. I hope he comes on or before Mother's Day
10. Hemroids = BLOW.

Magheeta · May 2014

1. I'm tired.

2. Nursery is practically finished.

3. I didn't want to make my lunch today, so I'm going to the cafe in our building. Exciting, I know.

4. DH has been very cute lately. I think he's in nesting mode.

5. I'm seriously over this work thing.

6. Traffic is getting on my nerves.

7. Baby was still measuring small at my appt yesterday. He's just above the 10th percentile, and my fluids and his movements are good. As long as he isn't distressed, I'm happy.

8. I woke up in the middle of the night last night with legit contractions. They didn't last, and it was only one or two, but wowza, it was definitely uncomfortable.

9. I'd kill for a nap right meow.

10. I am grateful my mother's visit this weekend went well, and we were able to finish getting last-minute baby items and finish the nursery.

cindythelou · May 2014

1. Typing this on an iPad so sorry if the formatting is all wonky. 2. Suffering from severe constipation. Had the closest experience to what I imagine giving birth will be like yesterday on the toilet. Finally got some miralax- we shall see. 3. My husband and I own a small business and things have been slow the last month. We need people to come eat burgers and drink beer!! 4. I'm on 5 supplements (alfalfa, probiotics, EPO, prenatal vitamin, & vitamin d) my morning routine is getting really monotonous. 5. Baby is so active at night! 6. 38-ish week appointment today! 7. Drinking coffee this morning because I need a freaking break from RRL tea. And this coffee is really effing good. 8. Getting sick of checking my blood sugar 4 times a day. 9. We got a dyson at our shower and I freaking love it! 10. Still can't decide on names.

jay3907 · May 2014

1. I'm 3 days past my due date.

2. Last night I actually slept without being in agonizing pain every time I rolled over

3. Been off work since Friday and already bored.

4. Hope I get good news at my appointment on Thursday.

5. Netflix has become my new best friend.

6. My head and my neck have been killing me all day, not sure why.

7. Wish my husband would give me some "hubby alone time".

8. Actually miss being at work.

9. Woke up today with a sore throat and it really hurts.

10.My DD was due on 3-3 came 3-9, My DS was due 5-3 I think I'd be cool if he came on 5-9....

lrmrtn · May 2014

1. I only have 3 work shirts that fit. At least they're cute.

2. School is done for the semester. Yay!

3. My car decides to have major issues this week. Boo!

4. 3 1/2 days of work left. I'm happy to be almost done, not happy to lose the income.

5. #3 means we have to cancel the cleaning lady I was going to have come before the baby arrives.

6. I'd kill for a nap right now.

7. And a bag of really good tortilla chips and guacamole.

8. If one more person tells me my lack of sleep is to prepare me for the baby, I'm going to smack them. That means you DH.

9. Between my swollen feet, back pain and huge belly, I now shuffle like an old lady.

10. BH contractions, if you're not going to be useful, then stop.

bumpuser9353653 · May 2014

@cindythelou‌ - I'll take a burger please! That sounds so good right now!

sparklingdiamond · May 2014

1. I have my weekly appt at 11:15 this morning.

2. I am really hoping for progress because I have been at a one for the past three weeks. At least I went from being 50%-80% effaced last week.

3. My boss is going golfing with my other coworker, so I get a half day today!

4. I have been trying to save PTO, so I haven't had a day off since New Years.

5. All I want to do is nap and eat ice cream.

6. I am already starving, but don't have time to eat before my appt!

7. I really am ready for him to come now.

8. I have had several people tell me they think he will be born this Friday. I sure hope they are right! I'm ready.

9. My belly has been so itchy and it's annoying! Nothing I do helps. I am definitely bringing it up at my dr appt.

10. I have something I can eat for lunch at home, but would rather eat bad food. Even though I had a ton of pizza last night!

csavery · May 2014

1. I'm super crabby and don't want to be at work

2. I am nesting and its driving me nuts that I can't be home to clean and organize

3. Far too many people are staring at my stomach instead of my face when speaking to me

4. Tomorrow is my last day of work-yay!

5. I want wine...or a margarita...or a beer

6. The days are dragging

7. Hemorrhoids. ..nuff said

8.its been cold and rainy here I'm ready for some sunshine and warm weather!

9. DS starts tball tomorrow and is beyond excited

10. I'm so miserable I don't even want to be around myself right now

blessedandhopeful · May 2014

1. I can now participate because I am officially on maternity leave.

2. Our house is still a disaster area and in no way ready for guests should I go into labor soon.

3. I am working on cleaning said messy house, but I would prefer to go into labor and not have to deal with it.

4. I have been using EPO for at least two weeks, sitting/ bouncing on an exercise ball, drinking RRL tea, having sex, and just got back from a two mile walk with my friend. I "feel" like he is going to come soon.

5. Although I (physically) feel like he is going to come soon, I am really worried about it suddenly being Monday and me staring a RCS in the face.

6. I thought I woke up a few times last night with mild contractions, but I honestly have no idea if I was dreaming or if it was real.

7. I looked up accupressure points last night and have been trying those out. Can't hurt.

8. I really want to go out for lunch today, but we ate out yesterday for lunch and dinner, so I'll probably end up eating a sandwich and some fruit at home.

9. I really want to buy a baby K'tan, but I already have a Moby, woven wrap, and ring sling from when DS1 was little. I'm not sure if it is worth the investment since it does the same thing...but it looks so much easier.

10. I'm definitely sitting here waiting on my water to break or contractions to start. Come on body! You can do it!

jcf2133 · May 2014

1. Today begins my leave- woot! 2. I have accomplished nothing beyond watching copious amounts of hgtv. 3. I feel like I should do something more productive, but... 4. As a FTM, I worry that I won't recognize real contractions, even though I've read all there is to read about it 5. We are Team Green, and don't have a girl's name we both like yet. And by yet, I mean at 39w3d... 6. When I got up this morning, my belly looked smaller to me and it freaked me out. 7. For a week now, I've been wondering how many centimeters a cervix is normally, because I suspect that though the doctor says 1cm like its a big deal, it's pretty much no change at all. 8. I feel victorious because I finally got my husband to pack a hospital bag. It took weeks of "encouragement". 9. My friend, due a week after me, feels awful and I actually feel bad for feeling so good. 10. Yesterday, my husbands coworkers threw him a baby shower. How sweet is that??

ho11yday · May 2014

@cindythelou‌ I LOVE my dyson. What an awesome gift.

1) I hate when DH uses my dyson to vacuum the garage. I got him a shop vac for his anniversary gift last year to stop it from happening. He still uses my dyson from time to time.

2) got my hair cut today. Feels so nice.

3) after getting my hair cut I'm back in bed.

4) my ass is legal yo. Got title to car on Saturday and registered on Saturday.

5) EDD is Thursday. Lots and lots of sex. Not helping.

6) my groin hurts like hell. Major reason I've been waddling/limping.

7) if this kid is not out by next week, I'm done working. Must email manager.

8) I have one of my bags packed. I just need to pack the one for labor.

9) why does the one thing I w as trying to get done before I go on leave show up the day after I start my vacation.

10) I want tacos and a margarita. Thanks whoever mentioned it yesterday.

bumpuser9353653 · May 2014

@blessedandhopeful‌ - we are on the same page for so many things! Trying ways to get your body ready for labor, needing to clean a messy house, wanting to buy a k'tan, etc.!

Except you're lucky and are on leave already :-) Got my FX for you that you go into labor before Monday!

awc1986 · May 2014

1) DD is 3 days old today and we managed to get 5 hours of sleep last night. I'm amazed and I doubt it'll happen again.

2) I went out on my own to get a bag of groceries and realised I was putting the bread in the bag while trying to support it's "head".

3) that's enough visitors for now thanks.

4) I'm worried about absolutely everything DD does or doesn't do. Is she eating enough? Pooping enough? Too much? Cold? Warm? I need to chill.

5) spending 2 nights in hospital makes me extra grateful for my mattress at home. It feels amazing.

6) we took DD out before for a short walk to DH's gran's. the way we were pushing the pram, you'd think we had a bomb in a basket.

7) last night we had take out pizza.

8) this morning we ate the rest of that take out pizza.

9) I'm so grateful for being able to bend over and tie my shoes. Even if it does kill my muscles.

10) these laxatives aren't working.

Thanks! I hope your last little while at work goes by quickly! As anxious as we all are, our LOs will be here before we know it. It's hard to keep that in mind sometimes though.

Aaahhhh come on labor! Lol

yvanehtnioj · May 2014

1. It's so hard to think of 10 things so I usually don't play 10TT.

2. 7 more days of full work. After that I will only come in to train my replacement temp & the rest will be from home.

3. Oh crap, 7 more days...

4. Got the carseat installed in the backseat. I have used the carpool lane 3 times! Kinda naughty! The hard part is not driving like my normal dickhead self the rest of the time, because I don't want people to think I'm driving that way with a baby in the car.

5. Then I got 109 fasting this morning...again. Freaking hell. I take my Glyburide but some nights I can't stomach eating more food right before bed. Especially when I just ate dinner and I'm FULL, and especially when the only food that seems to work is almonds. I've tried a few more appetizing protein foods, or combinations of protein & carbs. Fuck almonds! But then again, fuck me for not eating them and waking up with crappy fasting glucose! This is me trying to shove down the almonds at night:

On a lighter note, this morning a nurse suggested eating almond butter out of the jar. I will try that.

7. This baby is locked up tight. I'm only 37.5 weeks so maybe it's too soon but seriously, there are ZERO signs of imminent labor. Except maybe that I poop more now? I'm like the dog, after dinner and/or breakfast I need to GO.

8. Got a C+ on my Spanish composition. It was marked up pretty good with comments like "This is not a thesis statement"

. Oh man, flashback to 7th grade. All I cared about was getting the Spanish words to paper!

9. Tried to call my mom & let her know she can't stay with us after the baby is born. She was out of town so I got my stepdad. He told me she was planning on staying for TWO WEEKS. Wha...? Dude, even if she was helpful, two weeks is a long ass time. My husband wouldn't even get any family alone time if she was here that long. Woman is trippin.

10. Seriously can't think of a 10th thing. I have gas and I'm farting at my desk and I don't care. Last week the new guy came up right after I had farted and put his laptop on my desk and crouched down to desk level next to me. I wasn't even that mortified. I was just like "Whatevz, you should know better."

usernewname · May 2014

1. Is it bad I'm super excited to be done my prenatal vitamins in the next couple of weeks? I plan on taking supplements of course, but not in the form of this massive, nasty tasting horse pill.

2. I have wicked heartburn. DH wants to walk for ice cream, I'm down for the ice cream, not the walking.

3. My EI claim is being processed - yay!

4. RRL is pretty damn good.

5. I made freezer meals today - pizza dough, macaroni and cheese and soup.

6. I gave up on fighting my condo board and wrote them a cheque. Sheesh, tired of getting no where and I wanted this to go away before baby comes.

7. The car seat still sits in our basement.

8. Baby wasn't moving much the past couple of days, but I think I was not eating enough as I was busy running around for EI. I feel kinda stupid and guilty.

9. I never tire of listening to Avicii.

10. Baby has to stay in until Wednesday night at the earliest. The idea of going into labour without my MW makes me feel sad. I'm quite attached to her.

Lild09 · May 2014

1. Had appointment today..not great
2. Cried after said appointment...40 w tomorrow and nothing! Literally cervix is soft but no dilation and although babies head is in pelvis it's not low and moveable
3. Was hoping for a stretch and sweep but above
4. Worried I'll have to be induced on the 20th
5. Cleaning like crazy bc it calms me
6. DH is taking me shopping tomorrow and for dinner bc he knows I'm bummed
7. Weather is beautiful at least...finally starting to feel more like spring
8. My tulips are budding and some have bloomed sooo pretty
9. My mil is awesome bc she came with me to the appointment in case I was all crampy after
10. However I made my appointment for next week just in case I don't go on my own and she's like next week? I wanted to cry then bc I was so upset at that moment but held off til I got home

lavendergiraffes · May 2014

1. I officially have cankles as of today.

2. Friday is my last day of work and I'm so glad. I'm going to punch a kid...

3. Friday is my last day of work for at least a year as I am not going back. This is both exciting and terrifying

4. I'm ready for my maternity sub which makes me happy. I was uber stressed about that!

5. I am physically ready/prepared for baby but not mentally. I am absolutely terrified every time I think about it!!

6. She can stay in till 40 weeks and then see how I feel. I'm 38.2 today.

7. I think it's fitting that my last week is teacher appreciation week.

8. Today a kid brought me an edible arrangement flower. I was slightly disappointed that it was only one flower but only because it was SO good and I wanted more!

9. Chipotle did a buy one get one free burrito today so that's what dh and I had for dinner.

10. I can't think of a tenth thing so... That's it.

bridetobe9132013 · May 2014

@florassecret I like their wake me up song

hatrats · May 2014

1. I realize that it is no longer Tuesday and I don't care. Posting anyway.

2. Cuz I got lotsa shit to talk about.

3. ILs are paying for a maid service to clean our house today and it is pretty much the best gift of all times.

4. DH gets disproportionately mad anytime I bring up him carrying the baby around in a sling or backpack. It's pretty funny.

5. My right foot is completely normal and my left foot looks like a cartoon bee sting victim. I can't wear my birkenstocks anymore and I can barely even get on flip flops. I'm not sure how I'll leave the house if it gets any bigger.

6. I am so ready to get this thing out of me and have my body back. But not really ready to have a baby 24/7. There should be some in between period where you are no longer pregnant but you get a few days off or something before you have to take care of the baby.

7. DH is man-nesting so hard right now. He is on a major stripping/staining the deck project and our dog has been at my parents house all week. I miss him.

8. My parents are going to Florida on Friday and they'll be gone until about 4 days after my due date (Tuesday). They are certain I'm going to hold the baby in until they get back.

9. I was 3 weeks late and my sister was 2 weeks late, so maybe they are right.

I just don't want to accept that I could be waiting in this state for another couple of weeks.

10. I'm so ready to be off work and hoping I can work from home if the baby is late so I don't waste my leave rolling around, half-ass organizing the house by myself.

caycelee · May 2014

Update: not being induced anymore until the 18th unless I go naturally which I prefer anyways.
