Hah, I love that we're all late this morning!
How is everyone feeling from all that food? I'm sore all over and feel kinda hungover myself. I have to go to work today, and I'm going to show up all:
On the plus side, I had the BEST dream last night! I was visiting Japan, and wanted to try one of their famous hot spring spas. I accidentally chose one that gives you 'companions', and I spent a good long while in a hot tub with like 5 hot dudes. Go me!
Re: Food Hangover Friday (randoms)
As for me, almost home from Black Friday shopping. I'm whooped but did good. I got the baby a few clothes that were on clearance and found some summer shirts for 97 cents at JCPenney. I got him several in 12-18m. I just tore up a chili cheese coney from sonic and I'm ready for bed.
Oh and Vday today!!!!

@Peledreamsofrain Dream jackpot!
@Chunkymonkeylvr I agree; fire that lazy B of a dish fairy.
AFM, DH finally felt the baby kick this morning! Yay! And it was much needed on my end too. After two really active days, he was really calm yesterday and I was a little worried.
We played CAH and The Resistance last night after dinner with DH's family. So much fun. If you like effing with people's minds, you will like the Resistance, so I suggest checking it out. And it snowed so much!!! Perfect storybook snow - white and soft and fluffy. But I'm ready to go home to Louisiana and sunny, 60 degree weather. We head home tomorrow.
I somehow woke up starving. I ate two thanksgiving dinners yesterday. Because of this I've decided I should always be pregnant for thanksgiving.

@jennypm - enjoy your dinner tonight!
@RQuinlin - so happy your dd feels better!
@CityBee - that sucks. I hope you can get your glasses fixed.
@Peledreamsofrain - so jealous of your dream!
AFM - leftovers are a great breakfast. I wish I had the mental energy to Black Friday shop but no...I am just not sleeping anymore. I have 2 more days to get the 2nd trimester energy...I have a feeling the energy fairy skipped over me.
@Chunkymonkeylvr I feel like you should pull the preggo card on that one and enlist family volunteers as tribute.
I have an ultrasound today to check up on my placenta previa and I get to see my lil Ava bug!
Although I really want to sleep. All day.
@jennypm so sorry about your husband:( hopefully you guys will have an awesome dinner tonight!
AFM,
I just got back from my first ever black Friday shopping! DS slept over my parents and SO had to work today so when he got up I went out to Jo Ann fabrics. I got stuff to make blankets for my DS and LO and enough stuff to make photo coasters for my parents, grandparents, in-laws and grand-in-laws. All for 30 bucks! I think I like this black Friday thing! Plus since I live in a small town I was legit the only one in the store. If I had more $$ and more energy I'd be out all day but I'm home already resting. Haha oh the joys..
Today is V day!! I feel like time is flying by and there's still so much left to do.
Also I'm in a small mountain town and the closest thing is WalMart and that's the only big Black Friday store. I'm a good 90 minute drive from a mall. Think my Black Friday shopping is online this year.
We went to target, kohls, ulta and the mall last night. The mall was a bust cause the line through Victoria's Secret was fucking absurd.. I just wanted $25 perfume lol. Ulta was also a bust cause the $12 lorac palette sold out so fast. I needed my eyeliner pencil anyway so whatever, but that was full price. I got a bunch of clothes at target for 40% off which was my main goal so I'm happy. I also scored a custom hat for the baby for 20% off one of my favorite etsy shops.
This weekend is back to reality as crunch time for the end of the semester approaches, I only have this coming full week left and then the following Monday and Tuesday are all my finals. I need an 80 on my nursing final, so wish me luck please!!
I'm gonna go eat leftovers.
Welp, add me to the list of march mamas looking for extra work.
Today's annoyance is with me asking if he wants to decorate the tree tonight. All he had to say was no, but he's all like OMG without fail you're asking me to do shit again. I feel like if the only thing on the calendar today is sit on his ass from 9 am til 7 pm then decorate the tree with me for a little bit that would sound like a good day. I cannot win sometimes.
I've put him on garbage duty as well, and he is pretty good about it, as well as taking it to the street on trash day. There isn't much else I can get him to do regularly without me asking.
We also have a few big things that need to be done on the house if we want to sell, which we do. I'm hoping his desire to move will get him moving on those few things.
@jennypm I'm so sorry! My h is on call also but I'm lucky he hasn't had to go in.
Afm I spent the morning shopping. Got such cute stuff at gymboree for the lo and at destination maternity for me. I was determined to not buy a lot of maternity clothes but I've been feeling like a schlub at work and totally disregarding our business professional dress code. I think I'll be good now these last few months.
Not sure if we have talked about this before but how many outfits /sleepers make sense to have at each size? I need a reason to stop shopping.
I knew about the crazy hormones before getting KU but I wish someone had told me how seriously it could effect my pre-existing depression. Adding that to the list of shit no one tells you.
On Wednesday hubs let me know that he was feeling lonely because I had to work the holiday and we weren't doing anything so he invited his family over for dinner on thanksgiving. I like his family and I'm glad they came but holy last minute batman! Wtf! You couldn't figure this out earlier!
I had to work on Wednesday then come home and clean the entire house, work on Thursday and then they were there when I got home. Then I had to work again today. I was so tired today that I actually felt a little hungover. Ugh. So glad I have the next few days off.
Oh and viability day today too! Happy day @nannabee21 and @mwerren
@janda426 ditto on the belly being firmer and bigger, and on the husband! I saw we he says all I do is nag, but I'm like come on this is for the house, etc. And I basically put up the Christmas tree and decorations myself. He likes Christmas but not w fan of the decorations.
@ruemorgan I'm sorry you're feeling down, hoping your OB can help.
Can't wait for the weekend!! Yay!!

No, no. I could totally set up STD, break my leg and use it. But I cant enroll in STD now and use to toward the birth because my pregnancy is a pre-existing condition and the last enrollment period before I was pregnant was October 2013.
I totally get what they're saying. It just seems ridiculous when you do the math and realize I would of had to sign up back in 2013.

~~quote fail~~So what about 2014? October of 2013 seems like a LONG time ago. Don't you guys have annual open enrollments for benefit selection? If so, then could you sign up during you current open enrollment, then use it once baby is here?
Edit: quote fail
in October 2013 we were enrolling for the year of 2014.
so now in November 2014 we are enrolling for the year of 2015.
I tried to enroll but they said it wont be applicable towards paid maternity leave.
