I had a nightmare that I was hanging out with friends and we ordered pizza for dinner. It took forever to arrive and I was starving. We called to check on the order and there had been a mistake and it wouldn't arrive for another 40 min. At which point I curled up into a ball and sober because I was so hungry. I woke up with tears streaming down my face. @-)
eta: I have a headache, body aches, coughing and my stomach hurts after eating. It's either a cold or ebola but I'm pretty sure I have ebola now because that nurse is in Atlanta which 3 hrs from here and I read the article that reported an unnamed scientist had said that ebola is really airborne. ) is it too soon for that to be funny? Is my sense of humor terrible?
So I finally found my courage to break the news of my resignation to my students. My 5yrs old took it quite well except for one kid who bursted out in tears and refused to leave from the class. So we had to call her Mommy in to help. My 2nd graders took it pretty hard. They were quite upset and remained silent for quite some time. After which I was bombarded with questions about the baby-to-be, etc. Anyways I basically had a very emotional day at work today! How I am gonna miss my kiddos
DD starting hitting yesterday (20 months) Like aiming for a full smack across the cheek. When I told her no/not nice/that hurts/etc. she then smacked herself in the head and laughs. Ugh.
At bed time I leaned over to give her a kiss and she hit me so I repeated my thing. After I walked out I was watching her on the monitor hit herself in the head then say ouch and no no no. This cycle went on for two mins.
I'm pretty sure at daycare I saw a kid hitting them self the other day however now I'm not sure if I saw this or dreamed it! Pregnancy dreams are a mind fuck!
Question. Does anyone know, is it normal for cholesterol to increase during pregnancy? I just had mine done in August through my husbands work and I just had it done through my work and it was a decent amount higher! In 2 months??
@ducktale I remember reading something about cholesterol being necessary for steroidal hormone production especially in the 2nd and 3rd trimester. As long as it's not alarmingly skyrocketting that should be normal
Really? Interesting. It's right on the line of being in the "normal" range but it was always a fair amount lower. So I guess it's fine. I have an appt next week, maybe I'll ask about it.
I was on the Skytrain in Vancouver, which was, for some reason, taking us up a bridge (high up over the suspension part of it) and I had Ella with me. Then we all had to get out and step onto a platform and wait for a ride. The railings were really wobbly and I was freaked out having Ella hundreds of feet up in the air so I went to put her back in the Skytrain car and she flailed, and I dropped her and she plummeted the hundreds of feet into the water below. Woke up freaked the fuck out. Still freaks me out just thinking about it. Ugh, fucking brain.
My best guy friend is getting married tomorrow--I'm very excited to attend even though I have no idea what I'm wearing yet.
I'm also nesting hardcore. I got her room painted yesterday and today I'll do touch up and clean everything up. Then I get to put her crib together and get her bedding washed Everything is slowly coming together!
Those of you that are nesting already - when you're done deep cleaning, organizing and decorating your own homes, please feel free to come do mine. K? Thanks.
@erobbins09 going to join in the fall nesting tomorrow, I think! You've inspired me!
Tonight is DBF's art show! It's cocktail attire so I get to wear some new heels I've been itching to wear. I'm also fighting the urge to buy this amazing sweater of F21 that's FUZZY AND PURPLE (They also have it in white btw). It's, like, $30 and I don't know if I can bring myself to spend that much on a sweater. Thoughts?
@miniwheat10 I am nesting hard too! What colors are you going for? I love hearing about nursery plans. Also check out projectnursery.com. Love that site!
@cls78 I am going to do a grey, navy and white colour scheme. I hope I find something I like. Thanks for the site! I will try it!
@miniwheat10 are you stalking my life? You are the other person naming your son Ethan Michael right? Lol now we're doing similar if not the same nursery how funny!
Work is throwing me a shower (even though this is baby #2....they wanted to do it since I didn't work here when I had DD) and they just sent the invites out. I'm just amazed at how sweet my coworkers are for hosting. Makes me all warm and fuzzy
I love being able to wear jeans to work, I used to only wear them on Saturdays (I work 10-2 on Saturdays alone and get Mondays off I love it) but now that I only have two pairs of dresspants that sort of fit I wear my mat jeans as much as possible, so now Friday/sat are the best.
DH was so cute last night. We have this dorky little habit of saying 'Mine' to each other, almost like a replacement for 'I love you' or something similar. So we were in bed, cuddling before going to sleep, and we exchanged 'Mine's. Then he puts his hand on my belly and says, "I was going to say mine, but I guess I have to say Yours since you're keeping her all to yourself." So we joked around about me being so selfish, and how people should lay eggs so we could share. )
Did we address the "should I catch myself or bust my ass while pregnant" post in the spam today? Some of you actually went there with a kind heart. I was so confused, is there a rule that you shouldnt try to catch your balance while pregnant? What was the point of that thread?
I felt a load of snark coming on yesterday so I left it alone. I figured I would come ask you guise about it because clearly there is some urban myth about catching your balance Im unaware of.

@jaztastic OMG I read that and I read it to FI and he started DYING laughing.. We were both debating a post telling her that you are supposed to aim straight for your belly button while falling because if you time it right you just bounce right back up... But I kind of felt like an ass since everyone was being nice

There was some TV show on when I was a kid where this (monkey maybe) bounced on his red ass, and one day I decided to try it. I did not bounce. I did really hurt my ass though...I don't know how I made it through childhood.
@mandamoochie Land of the nod has a navy/grey/white whale bedding set. I think @MissEm15 is doing those colors and that set.
Yes! I'm obsessed w/ that bedding. I like it bc I can also use stripes & polka dots.. that way its not too many whales everywhere haha. We painted our walls a navy color w/ just a tiny hint of turquoise. Then the closet is a neon green color. It turned out awesome. So our colors are navy, blue, grey, white w/ pops of lime green.
Ikea has some simple grey and white striped curtains for $14/pair!

I've started singing a little modified version of "L-O-V-E" (Nat King Cole) to Henry when I'm in the shower. I think maybe it's "our song." I just kind of see putting him to bed with it. I have the warm and fuzzies.
L is for the way you look at me.
O is for the only one I see.
V is very very extraordinary.
E is even more than anyone that I adore.
LOVE is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game, it's true
Two with love can make it
Take Mama's heart, but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you.
And I just got teary eyed... stupid hormones!!

TGIF! Busy day today, so I'll check back later tonight. Tomorrow I have a wedding to go to, and then Sunday is DS's first birthday party! I'm so excited for him. He loves playing with all his cousins.
Guyz I think I found some dirt on my crazy coworker. So I don't know if I told you but his two oldest sons don't talk to him (older than me) or he doesn't talk to them...one of the who. Anyways. I am working on his oldest sons file I keep seeing a mention of a male friend. "friend" is written like this throughout the file, and the "friend" drives the sons vehicle and looks like he lives at the same address.
I think Mr. Preachers son is gay, I mean with that many kids odds are one has to be right?! I so hope he is and he broke himself away from his family because his Dad is a crazy sexist bigot.
@MissEm15 I caved and went pink. lol. Pink/Grey/White
I got the Pink Dahlia bedding set from PBK. I liked the pink/grey/white bunny set from Land of Nod too, but I got a better deal at PBK since the set I got was on sale at the time.

I'm on the west coast of Canada for a wedding this weekend and as far away from Gonzalo today as I can be. He's supposed to be a direct hit at about 7 pm tonight at Category 3. I'm going baby shopping later this afternoon.
DH is going to be away at a bachelor party this weekend, and last night my mom decided to make the drive up tonight after work to stay with me so I won't be home alone! I hope we do fun girly baby things on Saturday... I'm in need of baby bedding, maybe we can do that! Anyway I'm excited.

I busted my ass in the wet parking lot at buy buy baby a few weeks ago and the only thing I hurt was my pride. LMAO. So embarrassing! Babies and I are just fine.
