I am feeling pretty under the weather so have been taking it easy today. (Yay, time to bump!) Praying I get better before me and hubby leave on Thursday.
Oh, and I now have a cold sore popping up ... awesome!
Happy things for the day: I got 6 new plant pots from someone moving out nearby (we just bought some plants yesterday). And I think my car will be here today or tomorrow! (Yay to freedom!!)
@DragonflyDreaming I looove when I get new pots for my plants. It's like they get to move into a cool new house (yes I am crazy).
Today officially begins our vacation. We're heading to stay with DH's parents in Ireland until the 31st. I really need the down time. I'm a little nervous about the flight, but more really excited.
I couldnt sleep because im way too excited for my 3d u/s in a few hours. The more I stare at the 2d u/s where we got to see his lips, the more im like "he looks just like ME!" Haha, im hopeful.
@khansil5 happy birthday!
@jcar2 I'm glad you are sleeping better!
We had a fun weekend so far. Went out for a friends birthday Friday and had my company holiday party last night. The party was fun, but the food sucked and I thought high heels would be a good idea.
We are starting to put some wainscoting up in the dining room today ( which makes me unreasonably happy) and will just watch some football.
Oh and had a perfect start to the morning, dunkin coffee and a donut!
Hey girls! I feel like I've been out of touch from the board this past week. H & I went on a little anniversary getaway and I came back to 3 straight 12 hour night shifts. I'm so glad to be off today with no agenda. I feel like egg nog and Christmas movies will do.
Me(29), DH (29) Married December 2011 TTC#1 Since November 2013 Dec. 2013... BFP! 12/31/13... Natural M/C 1/29/14 (8 weeks) July 2014...BFP!... 17dpo beta 581...19dpo beta 1419!!.. stick baby, stick! EDD: 3/20/15.. It's a boy!
My LO hasn't been moving around like he used to in the past few days, so I decided to get out the Doppler to check up on him. I guess he wasn't a fan because he kicked it right off of me. Guess he is doing just fine
AFM- I have a business meeting at 2pm which stinks (it's Sunday and I wanna watch football!) However my family is going to this old steakhouse Tonight we go to every year around Christmas. I'm not much of a meat eater, but they have this cheese bread that blows my mind. I'm gonna eat like an entire basket lol
Sorry your dd is so sick @khansil5 hope she feels better!
Going to a target that has this baby girls sleeper for Christmas on hold for me. My BFF has twin girls and I've been searching for some cute Christmas pjs for them. They are sold out in every store except newborn size!! Found one at my target and another about 30 min away....it better be there for me haha. When this is all said and done I hope she doesn't already have them!
We need to get out the glider and put it together, it's just taking up space in our loft area in the big box.
We are gonna attempt to go get a picture in front of the big Christmas tree at the mall so we can get a Christmas card out. Talk about last minute!
Otherwise today is just more cleaning and sitting around.
My kids haven't let me sleep much so I'm all grumpy. My shitty friend who's been staying with me once again fucked me over. I agreed to let her stay after talking to her a while ago because she promised me over half of rent that we made a payment arrangement with the apartment office to pay monday the 15th, and sure enough she messaged me yesterday saying she has no money for me. She's also been going out every night and buying other things and randomly stopped talking to me last weekend, so yesterday was the first I heard from her. I finally blew the fuck up on her and told her to get the fuck out by today. I'm out of town with family and she better be gone when I get there. So because she isn't paying me AGAIN I'm losing the apartment. Gotta be out by Friday. Talking to my dad today about staying with him temporarily..
So today I'm spending my day packing my shit. Life is just fucking awesome.
Total random: all throughout the night my stomach was sweating (since it was pressed up against the snoogle). I've had sweat in weird places but my bump?? So weird.
Today is lounging again for me- might try and get H to hang some stuff in the LO nursery space, that is if he will wake up and stop snoring. :P
@cinderella105 I'm sorry that your friend is such an asshole. I hope it goes well with your dad! Was the 15th after a 30 days notice? Aren't they required by law to give you 30 days notice (Even with non-payment). What a grin to kick you out (with kids) just before Christmas.
@colleen4019 Definitely not crazy! Yay to new plant houses indeed.
@ruemorgan Good luck at the fun scan!! Get a good pic you can post on here for us. 3D us pretty fun.
@khansil5 Happy anniversary! Sorry your LO is sick. Hope she feels better soon. Have lots of good cuddles and snuggles.
@jcar2 I'm so glad you're feeling better. It's definitely no fun being sick. I've been having coughing fits the last day and a half and the lack of bladder control is making this extremely unpleasant. Hopefully zoo lights was fun! I always love zoo lights. It sounds like you need and deserve a massage!
@saltyfins Happy birthday to your hubby. Hope you guys have a lot of fun! We just got our bbq in with the rest of our gear about 5 days ago. Can't wait to use it, but we have to do something special to it, first, to make it work able here.
@jnowosielski Yay, to parties! We might have a gala through some tennis tournament we're going to (my hubby's company is supposed to get us tickets). If that happens ... I have no idea where I'll get a dress or outfit. Are black pants appropriate for a gala?
@nannabee21 Where'd you guys go for your anniversary? Welcome back! Sucks to have such long days after vacation though.
@jennypm Feel better soon! Get some rest if you need it. And congrats on 28 weeks. I keep thinking how fast it's going, as well. I just reached 28 weeks on Thursday.
@mwerren Thanks! I don't eat meat (I do eat fish though) and LOVE steak houses. Texas roadhouse has the BEST rolls! Yum! I don't even think steak houses exist here, so my husband will laugh when that's one of the first places I want to go, back in the states, to eat.
@healthyfor2 Good luck on the PJ hunt and glider assembly.
@lawsonellis LOL, at your hubby snoring. That's probably what keeps me up more than my pee breaks. Hope you get some stuff done! I think I had my first big 'nesting' moment yesterday, with the baby nursery!
@DragonflyDreaming no there was no 30 day notice they just said I have to turn my keys in by Friday if I want to avoid paying for December AND January. This apartment complex has been very hard to work with and it's no surprise they're doing this right before Christmas.. My ex in laws help me with my kids Monday through Friday since I work 8-5 and have school 5:30-10:30 so I'm not even home or free from 8am to 11pm every day. So the kids are ok with them and from now on until I get a new place we can just stay with them every weekend. Wanted to clarify that so it doesn't seem like my kids have nowhere to go.
Hoping to have a productive day while hanging at home. Have to finish up addressing my Christmas cards, finish online shopping for my last Christmas gift, do a bit more baby registry research, and a bit more cleaning out of stuff out of our baby's future room.
If I get all that done, maybe my treat will be making a batch of Christmas cookies!
I agree with Chunkymonkeylvr. A throat punch seems an appropriate response to your friends behavior. So much for second chances. I'm so glad your ex-ILs are being so helpful and reliable.
@cinderella105 I'm sorry this is happening. I really hope things start to look up soon.
@DragonflyDreaming the only maternity dress I've bought at full price I've been able to wear at 2 "functions" so it was worth it I think. It was a pea In the pod. But you can definitely dress up black pants with fancy hair and some jewelry (and heels if you can stand it).
Sounds like everyone is having a good day so far hope everyone has a great rest of the day as well! Yesterday I was walking with my son and I slipped on ice and we went down luckily it was like a slow motion kind of fall so I had time to really protect my son and my belly lol my son is perfectly fine and I only bruised my elbow a bit!
Hey trolls, I haven't been around much and just wanted to pop in to say I miss everyone and will be more active in the coming week, hopefully.
K's grandma passed away late last week so today into tomorrow we have the wake and funeral. Things have been hectic and emotional, and financially burdensome...the holidays and such are difficult enough, but outside of the emotional toil of losing a close family member, there is a financial toil. K needed a new suit, I needed a new sweater, and E needed a more muted colored dress...all purchases we weren't planning on.
Sorry for babbling, I just wanted to say hi and explain why I've been MIA.
@FrecklesInside So sorry to hear about a close family member passing. So many big hugs, and lots of thoughts and positive vibes for you and your family.
We finished our xmas shopping yesterday and we are wrapping today while we watch a little football
SS is with BM this weekend so we went to lunch yesterday while shopping. We always sit at the bar if it's just the two of us. I had a wonderful raspberry lime mocktail! It was delish and it made me feel a little fancy
I am a hot hormonal mess today. Dd and DH are both sick, DH has barely been home because of his coaching schedule and I think DD may be acting out a bit because she misses her daddy. I'm at my wits end with her behavior and burst into tears after leaving her in her crib for her nap (after she kicked the Christmas tree, tried to open the presents, and attempted to kick me in the stomach). I then picked a fight with DH. Ugh...one of those days I just want to run away and be by myself for a day or two.
Haven't had much of a chance to thoroughly read the randoms but wanted to stop in and say hi! We spent the morning at DS football banquet. Get to sit for an hour before we have to run back out for more errands.. I'm exhausted already!
Dude you all have to check out the baby shower for 2nd boy thread on third tri. I honestly don't think I've ever seen that much entitlement, you can tell from my comments.
We made more progress on the "nursery" nook! We still need to do more shelf cleaning and add more shelves. Also need to add a new light fixture and some paper flowers hanging from the ceiling. Oh and we need crib bedding haha! But H hung all the things for me. I'm very happy with him.
Hugs for everyone who needs them. I haven't been posting much lately, because I've had an emotional week. Some very dear friends of mine have a month old son who was just diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, and it's been an emotional rollercoaster for me. I've been close with theses guys for fifteen years, so for me, it was like being told one of my sibling's kids had been diagnosed. They are doing well now, though, and Baby's outlook is really good, so I've calmed down enough to jump back in. So, Hi. *waves*
Not much else going on with me, unless you count finally getting my Christmas tree and decorations up. Otherwise, that's pretty much it. I'm boring. Oh, well.
@cinderella105 your friend is toxic, you deserve so much better than that. I hope everything works out.
@janda426 she did a DD already! I'm getting a little tired of the baby shower entitlement posts but that one was still pretty entertaining.
I have 2 days of work of this week and Thursday we leave for vacation. I'm so tired of the drama at work the past few months, I'm really looking forward to getting away. 3 weeks off baby!!
AW: two of the shots from our elective 3d today! The technician said he had my nose and we were able to see the same little ridge in his chin that I have in mine! It took us awhile to see his mouth because he wouldnt stop sucking on his wrist and the umbilical cord. They said the second picture will probably be the best picture to do a newborn v. 3d u/s comparison. I cant wait!
I have been home lounging in my pj's all day. My husband is working overtime so I've just been taking care of my crazy toddler. During his 2 hr nap I finished a book, "The Orphan Train". It was really good and a quick read. This evening I just plan on lounging and putting my son to bed at 730 so I can indulge in sparkling grape juice and catch up on my real housewives shows.
Re: Randoms for Sunday! It's still the weekend!
Oh, and I now have a cold sore popping up ... awesome!
Happy things for the day: I got 6 new plant pots from someone moving out nearby (we just bought some plants yesterday). And I think my car will be here today or tomorrow! (Yay to freedom!!)
