10 Things Tuesday

1. I did my hair AND makeup today for work. 
2. I wonder if people will recognize me. 
3. I hate pumping. 
4. I hate pumping at work. I feel that it is always interfering with getting work done. 
5. Spaghetti & garlic bread for dinner - very excited about that. 
6. Debating if I should go to CVS at lunch and buy a bag of Halloween candy. 
7. I need to find a shirt to wear for family pictures - leaning towards this - thoughts? 
8. Question - will my boobs go back to pre-pregnancy size when I'm done BFing? I miss my old bras. 
9. My wedding rings keep falling off today for some reason. 
10. I want to buy Little Hip Squeaks headbands but I don't want to spend $33 on headbands.

Re: 10 Things Tuesday

  • 1. MIL just bought us a jogging stroller that can be used with a bike also, can't wait to use it!
    2. Have $80 Kohls cash!
    3. So hard to not go over the $80 kohls cash
    4. Thinking about stopping pumping all together, I really can't see myself doing this for another 6 months.
    5. DD is going threw a spurt or something and I want my calm sweet baby back
    6. Finally went to get my bangs trimmed and they hacked them off!
    7. Had to go buy headbands to wear since my bangs are so horrible
    8. Going to make some cookies!
    9. Failed at going to a concert with DD
    10. Had to have our dishwasher fixed for the second time in three months, I just want a new one and be done with the whole mess.

  • 1. I'm pretty sure the dog is eating our leftover lunch right now because I can't remember if I set the box on the counter or the floor before changing LO then going right to the rocking chair for nap. He keeps coming in here like he's up to something but I can't check.
    2. I got to go to lunch with my husband today and LO was a nice change in schedule.
    3. The while time we were there she had her whiny voice on. It's her new thing this high pitched whine.
    4. My husband was able to get tickets to the World Series game tonight...go Royals...for cheaper than they were going for so I told him go ahead it's probably a once in a lifetime memory with his dad.
    5. I'm excited for him but I am not looking forward to doing everything myself tonight. I've gotten spoiled with him giving her a bath and me getting a little break.
    6. I went to old navy and got LO some cute sweater dresses.
    7. I want some brown boots now
    8.i have to go grocery shopping today 9. Hoping we can go to the pumpkin patch this Saturday to get some pictures
    10. Wondering if I'll ever be able to put LO down during nap again?!

  • @jcrewgirl85 love the sweater! Looks like a great choice for fall family pictures! 

    1. DS will not nap. 
    2. I desperately need DS to nap so I can finish a paper for a class I shouldn't have signed up for.
    3. I want more $$. I feel broke.
    4. I hate trying to find childcare when I only work part time. Every place I call that has openings still charges full tuition. 
    5. My dog is driving me nuts.
    6. I'm hungry but have no idea what I want to eat so I'm eating Halloween candy. 
    7. DH starts coaching hockey next week so that means I'm pretty much on my own until March. This is good and bad! 
    8. DH has already called and asked what we're having for dinner. What?! It's only lunch! 
    9. There is a beeping smoke alarm in my house and I can't find which one it is and it's going to drive me crazy! 
    10. The sun is shining and the weather is nice today. This makes me smile!

  • 1. I haven't been on the bump in awhile and I missed it.  Hey Y'all.

    2. My pants are too big on me (yay!), but I definitely showed my crack at least once today...BUT, I can't go down a size because of my c-section gut.
     
    3. My lil Jack is pretty amazing.  Almost to the point where I don't tell anyone because people will think I am a braggy bitch.

    4.  Every morning, without fail, Jack takes a huge crap.  He is the most regular child I have ever seen.  BUT, that crap is just the first of several and on some mornings I am blessed with a two dump day before we leave for daycare

    5. I told my husband that this was ABSOLUTELY my last kid when I was pregnant because I had THE WORST pregnancy...now, I am not so sure.

    6. I am so flipping excited for Christmas this year and cannot wait to start buying presents!!
     
    7. This Saturday is a photo shoot for my Christmas pics and I have NO clothes for the four of us!

    8. I worry that my Csection belly will prevent me from ever wearing proper clothes again.  My fat clothes fit, but the muffin top is just too much.

    9. Thinking of surprising my 9 year old daughter with a trip to Italy with a HUGE credit I have with AA.

    10. The love I have for my second child has far surpassed anything I thought capable.  My two children have filled my heart more than I think is physically possible :-)
     
  • 1 - I love fresh flowers, too!

    2 - How can I get DH to buy me more flowers for our house?

    3 - I have checked my email probably about 20 times today beacuse I'm hoping to get a job offer.

    4 - I really want to go shopping but I don't think I can fit anymore stuff into our house.

    5 - L is fitting way too snuggly into her 6 month size clothes for being on 4 1/2 months.

    6 - I'm so glad to be bumping again!

    7 - It's 25 degrees outside!

    8 - 7 makes me super excited for snow machining season!

    9 - I called in an order at VS and they asked me what my countries shipping code was - uh - Alaska is still part of the US!

    10 - I'm going to know go lurk on other boards :)

     

     

    That One Gal From Alaska :)

     

     

  • 1. I have never participated in this before.

    2. Speaking of Kohl's, in case anyone doesn't know - they do the 30, 20, or 15% savings every month and you can always look up the 30 code online and there is always a free shipping code during those promos, too. You just have to have a Kohl's charge. I get easily carried away!

    3. My 26 lb chunkster is going to be a pig for Halloween... I feel a little bad that it is pink and he will probably get mistaken for a girl, but it is just too perfect.

    4. I was sad to drive the IL's car to work today so they would have the carseats all set up in mine because I missed my butt heaters :(

    5. DS2 starts swim lessons with DS1 on Saturday and I am way too excited!

    6. I read like 20 pages of that July catfish thread that was posted and I have to agree with some of the commentors that it really shouldn't be THAT big of a surprise that online forums have many imposters.

    7. On that note, my cousins and I used to go in AOL chatrooms during our Thanksgiving festivities and make up dumb stories and we thought we were hilarious.

    8. DS2 has been a terrible sleeper this week and it's getting very frustrating.

    9. I love having my MIL in town because she is very helpful, but hate how SO becomes super lazy about some stuff because he expects her to do everything.

    10. I guess she isn't really my MIL since we aren't married... there should be a term for IL's who aren't "officially" your IL's.

     

  • sstwinklinglitestbiscuit18 - thanks! It linked it to the black one, but I was thinking of the white one with either dark skinny jeans or black skinny pants and boots. I have blonde hair and going to rock some red lips. Going to put DH into a gray sweater/jeans and I'm thinking about this or this with her little jeggings or this dress for DD - open to suggestions....

    - also, these will be taken outside in a historic city (cobblestone, etc.) and near the water.

  • 1. I have a cough and keep waking up DD2 during her nap.

    2. I have a cocktail reception to attend tonight. Must bring the breastfeeding monster along.

    3. I have no idea what to wear to say party that looks polish but still allows me to breastfeed DD while babywearing.

    4. Been trying to do laundry for an hour so I can even have clothes options but every time I get up DD2 wakes up screaming

    5. I need to find a babysitter for DD1 so I can attend the preschool admission open house.

    6. It's a f*cking preschool, why can't they let children attend and provide childcare in one of the classroom while the parents tour??

    7. Also just found out that there is no 2-3day option in preschool for 3 year olds. I'm required to send DD1 5 days/weeks

    8. The 5 preschools in my area range from $15-$25,000/year!!!!!!!!! (That's for 3hours in the morning so I still have to hire a full time nanny on top of preschool)!

    9. Freaking $20,000 for preschool!!!!
    10. We might have to move to the suburbs now, where preschool is actually affordable. I am terrified of the suburbs!

    GBCB!!! Regs, lurkers and newbies we are leaving TheBump. Come join us at the new place ****/board/50/14 image
  • @Jcrewgirl85‌ that white cardigan for dd is adorable. That would look cute with yours for a mommy and me photo also :-) I wish I could rock some skinny jeans and boots, DH hates boots on the outside of pants, but I love it lol. Sounds like you guys will have an awesome family shoot and stylish :-)

  • 1. I am writing this on Wednesday.

    2. All three of my boys are napping! At the same time!

    3. I should be packing boxes for our move, but I don't want to risk waking them! 

    4. @jcrewgirl85 I love the sweater! Cute zipper details!

    5. I am in love with the furniture from Room and Board. Goes well with our new home, but the prices not so well with small children who will possibly destroy it.

    6. Found cheaper versions of said furniture other places.

    7. Making authentic Hungarian goulash for dinner.  We have this a few times a month in fall/winter. So easy and so good!

    8. SO. OVER. NURSING.  Love the health factor, convenience, cost.  Dislike the amount of time it takes while also trying to care for and give attention to two other little ones.  

    9. Nursing out and about by myself with two other ones to watch is the toughest!  I feel like my older two are missing out on things because of that.

    10. Also can't wait to have more than one cup of coffee with caffeine when I am done nursing.  Not that I need the caffeine- decaf just doesn't taste as good!

  • Well, the two oldest ;)
  • 1. @Jcrewgirl85‌ was going to suggest the white with exactly @kittyriot‌ 's description then I scrolled down and saw you meant to link the white (linked to the black for me). Love it. J crew, huh?
    2. Im struggling figuring out how to balance life. Be awesome at work. Be a good mom. Be a good friend. Laundry. Clean.
    3. My cousin is starting photography and did newborn (she was actually 4 weeks) and 4 month pics. They are awful. Blurry. Not many options. Not sure how to tell her this. I want to hire a professional for 6 mos now
    4. I signed up for Blue Apron. First meal was a success.
    5. I love my job, but I'm missing LO so much lately while I'm at work. Makes me dream of being a SAHM. But then I'd miss my job
    6. Haven't been active on TB lately. Work is too busy and the app sucks. Go to comment on a thread but feel like it's been talked to death by time I get to it
    7. I miss breastfeeding. I'm down to my last BM bottle to send into daycare. She's been getting one a day for a couple weeks.
    8. I kindof want to be pregnant again
    9. I think I'm crazy for #8
    10. Hosted a party Friday. After working late most of the week I had nothing prepared. My pregnant guest who was staying with us helped get everything together. Oops.
  • @usernameedit‌ aww have fun with your bro!!
    @zolten DD is pinching and hitting (flapping arms). Ouch! Is it too soon to teach her 'gentle'? I try but it's probably a waste of time
  • @Mamarazziof3‌ how old are your boys?
    Two and four
