Ten things Tuesday! Let's hear them

blond1230 · July 2014

1. LO woke up last night at 1, 3 and 5. Ughhhh. He's getting a couple of teeth so I'm blaming that.

2. He also has sooo much hair all of a sudden! I feel like it grows overnight.

3. I need to get better with meal planning. We've been eating out so much lately I feel like I'm so bloated from all the salt, grease, etc. Gotta go get some new recipes today!

4. We went to Costco last night and stocked up on fruit and veggies so I have no choice but to cook up some good healthy meals.

5. I went for a checkup yesterday with my OB and we talked about nursing and the next possible pregnancy. She said she has recently seen so many of her patients get pregnant around now- when the LO is eating more solids and nursing less and the first ovulation is when it happens. It made me excited! Though we aren't really trying I'd love to have two close in age.

6. We are still trying to figure out LO's bday party and who to invite. We have huge families so are thinking our siblings and parents may be it. If we add aunts uncles and cousins we are at an extra 30+ people and are worried it may rain since it's in our backyard.

7. I found a great mommy group on meet up but the past two play dates they cancelled last minute. So annoying.

8. I have been reading a ton lately since LO can play on the floor more independently.

9. We have our music class today! My guy loves it.

10. I'm a laundry doing machine today. My DH tells me to do his on cold so the stuff doesn't shrink and I just realized I did it all on warm. Oops. Fingers crossed.

amief · July 2014

I've never done 10 things, but my computer program at work isn't working... so here it goes:

1. We leave Saturday for vacation for a whole week and I CANNOT WAIT!

2. DS was up most of the night last night... for who knows what reason.

3. As a result, I am totally exhausted.

4. Now that we have gotten over the initial hump I am enjoying giving LO new solid foods and watching him explore them.

5. We are finally getting close to 1 year, which means we can do his allergy testing which I am hoping will give us some answers and allow us to try more things. Looking forward to it.

6. We just ordered our convertible carseat and are making the jump. We live downtown and don't own a car so there is no "good" option for us I feel like. Fingers crossed that the one we went with (the Combi Coccoro) works at least pretty well for us.

7. I think given his allergies we are going to have a vegan cupcake for LO's birthday. This just seems so odd to me.

8. DH is taking Friday off to get us ready for the trip. So excited that he'll do most of the laundry and packing.

9. I am starting to get excited for football season!

10. I travelled for work last week and the hotel room I was given had no regular bed... just a pull out couch. What kind of BS is that?!

lilqt3929 · July 2014

1. My mom asked me to watch her little dog while they go camping Saturday through Wednesday. I really don't want to because she will not eat her dog food (they give her table food and I wont), she barks at everything, and I have to watch her like a hawk to make sure she doesn't go to the bathroom inside.our house. Ugh!

2. I learned my paternal grandmother passed away sunday night. She lives a few states away and since my father left us when we were very young and went MIA, we haven't really kept in contact for some reason. She did however send me an email about a month ago just saying how proud she is of me and told me I have a beautiful family. This makes me sad though, I really wish things went a little different and we kept in contact all along.

3. LO had a great day of eating a lot of solids yesterday. She even cut out one nursing session that she normally demands.

4. LO also had a scary moment when she began choking because she stuffed her mouth full of cut up blueberries and watermelon, like a chipmunk, instead of swallowing.

5. It is an absolute BEAUTIFUL day today and I have no clue what to do...maybe I will bring LO to the park at the lake to swing.

6. I'm keeping up with exercising, mainly running and biking. Last week I ran over 3 miles straight without stopping, that's a huge accomplishment for me. I'm starting to feel my muscles in my body again that disappeared when I was pregnant and it feels so good!

7. I have been PMSing bad the last few days and I was craving dessert last night. I made apple pie bites (Cresent rolls wrapped around a slice of apple with cinnamon and sugar, idea from Pintrest) so I ate 3. Now this morning there are 2 left sitting on the corner staring me in the face while I feed LO.

8. I won't say specifics in case anyone hasn't seen the finale yet but I was NOT expecting what happened on The Bachelorette last night. Not at all.

9. I'm excited to watch Bachelor in Paradise next week, someday I won't be addicted to trashy tv...

10. We had dinner at another family's house this weekend and they have 4 kids under 5. Wow, that is one crazy house! The kids definitely run that house...drawings all over the walls and appliances (they've only lived there for 8 months), running wild, kicking balls in the house (one that skimmed my LO's face and left a red mark!) Just to name a few. I really try not to judge since I'm not in their shoes but I will say I went home exhausted. I don't know how they do it, never a dull moment there I'm sure!

jackdaniels13 · July 2014

Going to see if I can come up with ten!

1. Found out last night my in home child care provider has decided to close her doors. My BFF (who is now pregnant with her 2nd) and I are now with out daycare.

2. I've cried non stop since picking up LO yesterday.

3. I want to be a SAHM so badly but with a husband in law enforcement it's just financially not possible.

4. On top of all of that I started my period and it's a ROUGH one. I feel like I'm in Jr. High again having to go to the bathroom every 30 min.

5. I'm on a strict diet to lose weight, I'm doing really well however I can't drink and last night I really wanted a glass of wine.

6. My focus of First Birthday planning has taken a severe detour into finding a nanny/caregiver.

7. LO slept in two piece PJ's for the first time last night..she looked SO big

8. I never knew being a working mom would be so hard...my before child self was so naïve.

9. My anniversary is next week and I have no clue what we are doing. Was planning on my favorite restaurant however I can't eat what I want so that sucks.

10. Trying my best to participate more on our dying board!

sugarkissed · July 2014

1. LO slept in until 8:30 this morning!! I feel amazing!!

2. She is also down to one nap a day, and by bed time I'm exhausted.

3. I made a big breakfast even though it's just the baby and I home.

4. It's going to be a gorgeous day, so I put a roast in the slow cooker and we are heading to the spray park.

5. I went out for drinks with friends for the first time since pre-pregnancy. It was a nice change, but I was the only one at the table married/with kids and felt a bit out of place.

6. I've tried making more mom friends but hate sitting around, comparing babies. I want friends, not competition.

7. We are going to start TTC sooooon. I'm excited/terrified.

8. It's a long weekend coming up and we have no plans.

9. LO has pulled off all of the outlet covers and figured out how to get into the cabinets despite the locks. Babyproofing? What's that?!

10. It's August this week and I don't understand how that has happened already...

bossmom11 · July 2014

Okay this is my first TTT so here goes.

1. I am afraid that LO is giving up her second nap leaving me with less time to get stuff done around the house. Lo has had a crazy sleep schedule this week. Skipping her second nap, so waking up at 6:45am, only having one 2 hour nap and won't go to bed until 9pm the earliest Maybe it's more teeth? Who knows!

2. I am getting the itch to TTC but really struggling. I want LO to have a sibling and would like them to be close in age. But I feel like we would be irresponsible financially to have another baby. But on the other hand I should trust that whatever decision we make we can make it work. Ughhh.

3. I am listening to The Bachelorette final episode as I mess around online right now. Oh and I can't wait for Bachelor in Paradise! @lilqt3929 I am with you on the not expecting!!!

4. I dyed my hair last night which was supposed to be brown with subtle red tint but instead I am a total ginger. Darn you Natural Instincts Spiced Tea!

5. Yesterday we learned that LO does not like chia seeds. Her first food aversion!

6. We are going to our second wedding of the summer this Saturday and I am pumped because it is for our LO's nanny who we love so much! I bought a fun new dress from Target which MH even helped pick out. Totally a first

7. We are going to the library later because I forgot our veggie tale dvds were due yesterday... oops!

8. I feel like such a bum. I am really good with doing the laundry and folding it but putting it away always gets away from me!

9. I found a mom group on Meetup and my first outing is Friday. Excited but nervous. I hope they are a great group of moms and kids!

10.I have started getting involved at church again, teaching kindergarten/first grade Sunday school and it is awesome! Definitely learning a lot being with kids who can talk back and need more disciplined than my LO.

Meganbryn · July 2014

1. Dd decided to get up at 5:30 this morning, mama is tired!
2. However she went to bed at 6:30 last night because she was so exhausted. She will only nap for 30 minutes at a time, only twice a day and it's driving me bonkers! I can't space them out enough so that she isn't completely bagged by the time it's bedtime. Any suggestions are welcome.
3. I still have not got my period but I will have a day of odd spotting here or there the past few weeks. I have a lot of period like symptoms but nothing. I'm going to the store this morning to pick up a pregnancy test just to make sure!
4. I will not be telling DH about it until I know the result as I don't want to get him all worked up for nothing.
5. I have a month until I return back to work and I'm freaking out a bit!
6. DH and I are going to sunfest on Sunday. It's a big outdoor country festival. Tim McGraw and Aaron Pritchett are headlining. I'm so excited! We are camping there for the night and it will be our first night away from dd.
7. DH starts his holidays on Friday. I'm so excited to get in some good family time, plus the extra help with dd will be nice

8. The bachelorette finale was awesome last night!! That was one of the best seasons IMO. She ended up with the guy I was rooting for. I won't say anymore in case people haven't watched it yet

9. I am so happy with the weight I am at, I can't believe I have lost 68lbs since having her. I gained 60 lbs with her and went from 135 to 195, I am now down to 127. I'm for sure going to be more aware of what I'm eating next pregnancy I can't believe how much I gained with her.
10. I have not dyed my hair since I got pregnant with LO. I'm so sick of my natural hair color I bought a box dye last night. Looking forward to be a nice dark chocolate brown again!

ajaan113 · July 2014

1. I lurk. I am home and getting bored.

2. I go back to work on August 18 then students start August 25. I love being home with DS for the summer.

3. I moved to a larger classroom this year. I pull-out students for small groups but my room last year was smaller than some walk-in closets. It even has a window!

4. Beautiful day! @Joi922 I am in the DC area too.

5.I hate typing on an iPad.

6. The dog and DS are napping.

UpsideDownFrown · July 2014

1. I went to bru at lunch to use my 25% off coupon and I swear the entire store is in sale.

munchkinsmama · July 2014

1. DS is having so much fun with his blue Dino ball toy... I can answer this thread

2. I'm excited/nervous to start TTC after this menstrual cycle.

3. I really hope to work part time after our next baby.

4. I love my job working in geriatrics but thinking of switching to pediatrics.

5. DS says Ball (pronounced more like bawl) and it's adorable.

6. I have been trying to read the latest game of thrones book for over a year.

7. I'm ordering everything for DS birthday from a party store tonight. It's a nautical theme with whales and lobsters.

8. I'm proud for not letting myself get over ambitious with DIY projects ( I'm not crafty even though I wish I was).

9. I am going to try and make a whale cake myself as well as cupcakes.

10. I hope the decorations I order/ matching table ware isn't too cheesy. .

Salemkitty13 · July 2014

1. DS has 4 teeth that look as if they are about to break through his gums. He has been cranky.
2. The photographer that did his pictures mailed them today. As soon as they get here I need to order his birthday invites
3. I go back to work next week. I know I shouldn't complain but our break was too short.
4. I really wish I could stay home with DS but I also know that giving up my job at my level is stupid.
5. My boss said I could work from home more this year. So maybe that will be enough.
6. I have sooo much to do this week. Baby has 2 therapy appts and 2 dr appts. I have a hair appt and an appt to have the car detailed. I want to take DS to the zoo and pool again before summer ends. And I need to cook up a bunch of food for DS for DCP. And of course I need to clean my house. I also really need a pedicure but I'm not holding my breath on that one.
7. So far I made chicken and apples, chicken and sweet potatoes. I still need to make squash, mixed veggies, beef and potatoes, apples, carrots and peas. (Ugh. That's a lot )
8. I went shopping with my mom and sis over the weekend and I got DS the cutest Christmas outfits on super sale. FX they fit when the time comes.
9. DS has his neurology appt on Friday. We have been waiting 5 months! I am a nervous wreck.
10. DH and I had a small tiff about it last night. Everyone is downplaying this and saying he's fine look at him. Yes he is crawling now, yes I'm proud, but Unfortunately I cant just think that this means we are in the clear. I worry too much. FX everything is fine.
ETA prepositions are important

AlejandraN2 · July 2014

@Salemkitty13 good luck on Friday. If you have any questions about neurology appts, PM me.

1. Our company's outing is tomorrow and I'm excited. There are only 40 of us and I like everyone, and it's at a lake and it'll be a gorgeous day and i helped organize it.

2. I'm so busy at work, i end up working from home after baby gal goes to bed. No likey.

3. Baby girl will be 11 months on Thursday. That's some crazy talk right there!

4. Still no teeth for us. I love her toothless grin but i do hope those suckers come out soon. I feel like she's been teething for 5 months.

5. Also no crawling still. BUT she just got up on her knees for the first time today so yay us!

6. I'm hoping her first PT appt is soon, like this Friday. But I doubt it.

7. I was craving something sweet so bad but we don't keep anything in the house. So... i ended up eating one of baby's teething cookies. Pathetic?

8. Hoping to send her bday invites early next week. Party is a month away yay!

9. This planning 2 baby showers, a bday party and work thing is exhausting.

10. Mamamama is what I'm hearing from baby's room right now so better go check her.

smilingeyes2308 · July 2014

Wow! There's lots of TTT's today

1. I haven't been on at all today, until now. Guess why? Remember the post I wrote the other day, complaining about my POS landlord? Yeah. He cut off our internet. Just cause. Ever since we told him we are moving out he has become the hardest person to deal with. I was taught not to say I hate someone - I think I ACTUALLY hate him.

2. I'M SO GLAD we are moving on Thursday!!!! I cannot wait to get the F out of here.

3. I currently have to pee so bad right now. TMI? I am determined to finish this first though.

4. I feel like ever since we had the discussions about regulars and bumpie crushes - more people are participating (lurkers that I've never really seen before) Yay! It makes me happy to see people coming out of hiding.

5. I never knew about meetup.com until someone mentioned it in a thread the other day - It's an awesome site! Hopefully I can find a group after we move.

6. We don't have a car right now and it's getting on my nerves. I took ours off the road back in January to save money since we live downtown. We are moving to a very urban area so we don't NEED a car but I seriously want one. I am so tired of little errands becoming an annoying task. I miss being able to jump in the car and go wherever in record time. DD is quickly outgrowing her infant seat (she's small so we've made it this far!) and I don't know what to do about a convertible one - right now we take taxi's when she needs to go to the Dr. I don't really want to carry around a convertible car seat with me at the Dr's office. We don't have family close to us. Ugh.

7. I just spent the past 2 hours arguing with my landlord about how he's extremely unfair and can't just do what he wants to services that we have paid for. There is law in place for a reason.

8. I just heard DD make a noise and I really hope she's not waking up. The last few nights have been tiring. Not sure if she's getting more teeth - her gums don't look red or inflamed at all. She just has her 2 bottom right now.

9. Not sure if I want to switch pedi's when we move. I like hers but her bedside manner could improve. Then again, I don't want a friend. Just a good Dr for my baby girl. She works in the ER department at Sick Kids in Toronto so I trust her to detect any problems early on.

10. I'm surprised I made it this long without peeing my pants.

Salemkitty13 · July 2014

@amief‌ Just wanted to say, I also love football and I have been researching something to bake for LOs cake. Nut free, gluten free, vegan birthday cake anyone

Seriously, I hope your LOs allergy testing goes well and have a Great time on vacation!

UpsideDownFrown · July 2014

@munchkinsmama‌ sounds like lo has a ny accent bc I really was like that's how you say ball (bawl) lol

Burrberrymum · July 2014

1. I'm super late on TTT
2. I haven't had much time to bump the last couple days.
3. I just signed up for this huge consignment sale coming up next month, I'm kind of excited! They have a pre sale for first time moms!
4. DD has been keeping me extremely busy the last couple days.
5. I think she's gonna be walking in no time!
6. I finally wrote out all DD's birthday invitations, just have to send them out in a week or 2..
7. DD took a tumble today and it was actually hilarious! She didn't get hurt and I couldn't help but laugh.. She didn't think it was funny.
8. I am finally 1 pound under my pre pregnancy weight. I honestly have no clue how that's even possibe because I've been living off Swiss rolls, pizza, cheese, nutrigrain bars, cookies and hot dogs.
9. I took DD to the little animal farm on Saturday and we had such a good time. It was a lot for her to take in but we really enjoyed it. She surprised me and sat attentively through a puppet show!
10. My allergies are making me miserable, I can't sleep cause my nose is acting crazy.
