Mine is going to be a super lame food one, but it is National Donut Day and all I can do is dream about that...
I was not joking about having a stockpile of treats for one baby comes and the GD is gone. There are two boxes of Girl Scout cookies hidden in the freezer and I have a paper bag with candy and some other goodies in it. I need to find these oreo creme filled chocolate chip cookies someone mentioned the other day. I don't want to just pile on the weight once baby comes, but man...I can't wait to eat some sweets/carbs without relatively little guilt! DH has just this week decided to start working out again, and eat a little better (he can only eat so badly with the diet I'm on anyways and I'm the one who food shops), so I'll definitely have to continue hiding my treats from him :P
My supervisor was really bad these past 2 days so yesterday afternoon I might have got mixed up & possibly sent important calls to voice mail instead of his cell phone. It might happen again today, you know, with my pregnancy brain & all.
The other ob that works in my ob's office is...ehrm...hot. When my dr told me he was going to be on vacation for my next appt, I wasn't sad. I feel like I should be more disturbed by this but I'm really just not.
We are leaving for Vegas tonight for our babymoon. I might look for paperwork to do or any sort of busy work to do as I feel like doing none of the things today. As frivolous as it is to spend a ton of money on the spa, blackjack, and dining before LO, I'm excited.

I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. And all along I believed I would find you, time has brought your heart to me. I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you a thousand more.
I gained 7 pounds in two weeks and my OB asked about it and I was all "I have no idea!" I'm sure it can't be due to my recent trend of buying 4 packs of cinnamon crumble muffins every other day...
Really hoping I'm one of those people who loses weight from BFing (and can BF) ;-)
This baby is our third, but our first child together. DH doesn't think we need anything, and we can reuse EVERYTHING. Which is smart and cost effective, but no fun for me. He won't let me spend any money on baby things, so I've been hoarding money for about 8 months. I've been saving money from bottle returns (we get 10 cents per can/bottle in MI, and DH has gone through a lot of beer in 8 months), selling stuff on craigslist, etc. I've bought little things along the way... all on clearance, and had a big clearance shopping spree all week. I think I have everything on my personal list, and I finally feel ready. DH still has no idea.
My mom is acting like a princess and backing out of important things we've asked her to do simply because it's inconvenient. My FFFC is that DH is overly angry at her and has gone off quite a few times about how I shouldn't be stressed to do these things "in my condition"... AND I HAPPILY SIT SILENTLY AND LET HIM TALK SHIT ABOUT MY MOM. I'm not proud of it, but it makes me feel appreciated.
I just turned off my Monday-Friday wake up alarm cause it's my LAST DAY OF WORK!!!! Woo hoo!!!
There's a freakin ton left to teach my replacement, but she chooses to come in late (we start at 8, she arrives around 8:30 and brings her breakfast), takes a 90 min lunch (we get 30 min, but I've been taking 10-15 trying to get it all done) and generally leaves 15 min early. She's the boss's daughter in law and her husband is one of our managers, so no one says anything about it (cause she's bringing the husband breakfast and they do long lunches together...)
Soooo... I *may* be kinda slow to return phone calls next week. And I'm totally not going to care about the mess she leaves until October when I go back.
My supervisor finally decided on having the temp take my place on maternity leave. He wants the temp to come over to my office 3 days a week. Her shift is different than mine & it actually only works out to 4.5 hours each day for 6 days before I leave work. So this situation has success written all over it.
The FFFC part is that the temp does not want to fill in for me & she was complaining to me about it. She said, "I'm going to have to put up with him for 6 weeks!" I didn't tell her I'll be out for 12 weeks because I REALLY don't want her to quit while I'm still here because then I'd have to hire a true newbie to train which would totally put my last 2 weeks into a tailspin. The temp can quit after I leave.
I think grammar nazis are funny until they catch one of my mistakes. Then I'm like fuck you. That grammatical error was there to intentionally test your grammar skills, duh.

I gained 5 in 2 weeks and Dr asked if I have been noticing any fluid retention. I told her no, I've just been hungry.
Some of the girls in my neighborhood threw me a surprise get together for the baby last weekend and gave me gift cards because they didn't know what to get me (which is why when asked repeatedly if I needed anything, I said NO). Anyways, they got me a few gift cards and I'm almost positive I'm putting it towards a treadmill. We have too much baby stuff and I need to get skinny.
my lame FFFC is that, although i think you're all fantastic, i have daggers coming out of my eyes every time i read that one of you is done with work until the baby comes...not only do i have 8 weeks before i can cuddle my LO, i have to work until practically her head pops out.
just basic, bratty jealousy - what i wouldn't give to not have to work right now...
I just turned off my Monday-Friday wake up alarm cause it's my LAST DAY OF WORK!!!!
Woo hoo!!!
I'm counting down the days myself! So I'm totally jealous hating on you right now!
It's ok - you can hate. I get it :-) I was planning another 2-3 weeks, but my ob informed me I was insane and she wouldn't let me work past 36 weeks. She said it's good for "normal" pregnancies to take some time before, but with my list of complications, she wanted me home, out of work stress. (And by "home" I am taking that to mean lunching with friends, shopping, some dog training classes, beach walks, etc... There will be almost zero work stress in any of those!)

Glad I am not alone. I am so jealous of all these bitches that get to hold their babies a month earlier than us. (I say bitches in the most loving way possible. ;;) )
I love animals and would never purposefully hurt one, but the amount of time I spend thinking about "eliminating" the birds that start chirping at 4am right outside my window is shameful.
I was planning to work until DD showed her little self but I decided the stress my supervisor puts me under finally made me ask DH what he thought about me leaving 2 weeks earlier than planned. He immediately said, "Do it." He can't stand my supervisor. I wish I could take off even more in advance but we need the money.

No! Not the birdies! I love birdies
Sike, I love em but they've been pudding me off lately. We've got 3 parakeets and they've decided out of nowhere to start chirping and yelling at all hours of the morning. But, I like to sleep all hours of the morning. So, if they keep it up, we may have nuggets soon.
ETA: oh yes, autocorrect. I definitely mean't "pudding me off" -_- PISSING me off.

I want to go get one for lunch today, but I know I will want blue raspberry, and my mouth will be blue for the rest of the day. I'll probably do it anyway.
I don't participate over here nearly enough, probably because my other BMB is still so active. Time to spread my wings!
I waited in the drive thru line for an embarrassingly long amount of time this morning to get my free donut. I don't even like DD donuts. I was like 5 minutes late to work because of it.
I'm a sahm and didn't realize till 2pm yesterday that I was wearing the exact same clothes I was wearing the day before. I debated just not changing since it was so late but caved.

I am absolutely with you. I have a mental list running (only because i don't have the space to stockpile, lol). My DH has just started this whole "i'm sick of feeling like crap, i'm going to eat/be better!" trend. Go right ahead honey, i will join after i get done spending a good month eating nothing but Ben n Jerry's and sugar cereal. I will get on board with the healthy trend at some point, but i want all the things i missed for a little bit before i commit to moderation.
I took the NICU discharge class yestersay, since all that has to happen for Alexander to come home is for him to eat every feeding from a bottle. That class scared the shit out of me. We had to learn infant cpr right after I just witnessed my son choking from his last bottle feeding. Sometimes I feel like *I* won't be ready for him to come home (mentally/emotionally) when they decide to discharge him. This make me feel like a horrible mom.
