Another late night thanks to another holiday party, but the event at my boss's house was nice. He gave us these amazing ornaments – I managed to steal a purple one for Willa (we did the opening as a kind of White Elephant).
But today is it for work for nine days. Yay!
Awaiting our bundle of cute chaos.
F15 January Siggy Challenge: What You're Looking Forward to Most after Baby Arrives
DH's surgery went well, I asked him if he wanted anything before I took a shower last night and he said, "maybe a bj"... I said, "yea, I think you'll be just fine..."
***July Siggy Challenge*** Favorite Summer Time Treat: "Anything Poolside!"
This weekend is going to be relaxing! Dh is going to a casino tonight/tomorrow with a group of friends, so I don't have to help paint or anything tomorrow, or feel guilty when he is working and i'm resting. I'm going to try and clean a bit while he is gone., but mostly I think i'm going to do gloriously nothing. Just gotta get through today...
Woo freaking hoo!!! This is the last day with students until January 5th! I soooooo need some time to organize my life, sleep and spend some time with my husband. Ladies, today is a good day!
I don't want to be at work today. I just don't. Travel this week was long and hard. Being with clients is draining when you have to be "on" all the time. For those of you who still have to fly or travel, my biggest suggestion is to consider compression stockings for the flight/drive.
Today I have a client visiting. They're new so it will be extra exhausting. I had asked our implementation team not to schedule this meeting today. That worked out well. This is the same department that released another new group I have while I was out of the office and sent an email expecting me to call the client while I'm with another client. They also apparently said something to my boss about me not being prepared because she asked me why I didn't prepare for this before I left. I was diplomatic, but wanted to tell her that it's because I can't read the minds of incompetent people. The implementation team has the laziest people on it. They never want to do anything more than push paper around and don't ask them to use their brains for critical thinking or problem solving. Even to the point of having to ask for help if a conference room is booked and they need it for a client. Ugh. I don't want to do this today.
First day of winter break! Just been relaxing with the cats. Need to go buy DHs Christmas gift.
I'm completely annoyed with this one pregnancy symptom..my ring finger on my right hand has been crazy sore every morning and its starting to pop out of socket. Just started 2 days ago and its the only finger that hurts. Didn't do anything to hurt it either..ugh.
Thank god it's Friday- you all are just as worn out as I am! I might start sleeping in the lazy boy for the second half of the night because my hips hurt so much after a few hours.
I'm really glad work is winding down. I have my tasks for the day. I'm trying to stay motivated by having 2-3 item to do each day. Everything else is bonus. I might need to add cookies in as rewards
Morning ladies had a doctors appointment yday went very well baby was playing hide and seek for min as it took the dr a few min to find his heartbeat It was the longest min of my life but then she found him and he has been karate chopping every since I've discovered he is a nosey boy already no matter what time it is if I move cough talk or anything he is moving around anyway not sure why I'm rambling time for work uggggghhhh have a good day lovies
Morning ladies! I am hoping to finish up my wrapping today. I am always last minute... I vow not to be wrapping Christmas gifts this Christmas Eve! I want to enjoy the holiday and the days leading up to it.
I'm hope all you ladies have a great day and weekend if I don't see you here bumping! Off to wrap I go!
I had a nightmare where I poured myself a bowl of Frosted Flakes, and the milk was bad. I woke up sweating...though I guess I don't need to have a nightmare to wake up sweating anymore...
Went on the L&D tour yesterday. Nothing makes the idea of a little one arriving soon more real than seeing where it's all going to go down. It's really comforting to see where LO will be arriving.
Good morning ladies. My hair has always been stick straight and fine which was great for styling. But now that I'm pregnant, it has decided to do this weird wavy thing and it will hardly let me straighten it. Just annoying because my hair has always been so easy to take care of.
Also, newb question. I know we picked out labor buddies and I'm mostly trying to remember who mine are because we were a group of three. But how do they work? Are we supposed to be doing something?
Yay for Friday! I hope everyone that needs a break is getting one and that it is fabulous.
Staying at my parents house is the best thing ever. It is seriously a vacation from life that overworked moms always wish they could have. My mom took Ella's monitor last night and I slept for 8 straight hours. I feel great! Santa pics today, will aw later.
So tired! I just can't seem to hit that deep sleep anymore. My daily hot tea isn't helping at all. I have a dr appointment at 9am and to be honest I'm dreading it. My bp has been good this week but in my world that means nada. Starting to feel like I'll be pregnant forever. I can't get comfortable at night at all. Poor DH has to sleep with my tossing and turning. I totally messed up the bed and turned the comforter sideways in my sleep last night too.
So my sister an step mom have been having an "Elf on a Shelf" battle this year... My stepmom found this when she went to the bathroom this morning... I thought it was too funny not to share!
Yesterday DD had her daycare concert - it was really a singalong. She would only stand with me and stare. There was no singing at all even though she loves to do the 'fa la la la la'. She saved this for 4am when she woke me up with her 'la la la la la'

This is the best thing ever!! Do you know where they got the Jigsaw mask/his face? (or is it a whole Jigsaw doll in an elf suit?) I'd love to start leaving Jigsaw games for DH
FFFC that is too serious for the FFFC thread: This morning I ugly cried on my commute to work because I was so upset with my weight/body. I know that's really selfish-sounding but sometimes I can't help it. Good thing is, we are getting a treadmill delivered today! Hopefully this'll cure my body image blues, even if it's just a placebo effect
Happy Friday! I think last night's sleep was the hardest I've slept in a few weeks. I slept so hard, I slept through all three of my alarms this morning. Luckily my husbandman was going into work later than usual, so he woke me up at 7:15. I took the fastest shower of my life and flew out the door, making it to work by the skin of my teeth. At least my boss is out of the office for the next few weeks for her wedding, so I'm able to goof off on my computer today (:
Tomorrow we have our breastfeeding class. The husbandman keeps joking that he's going to embarrass me by using that "I have nipples Focker, can you milk me?" line from Meet the Parents. He thinks he's soooo funny!
@nbad311 I'll ugly cry with you! At my appt yesterday they said I gained 8 lbs in 2 weeks. I'm like uh no I didn't considering I'm in sneakers and jeans which weigh about 5 lbs together and swollen feet. I hate getting my weight measured because when I go back in 2 weeks I won't weigh as much and they will be like omg you lost weight!! It's stressful!
@nbad311, I understand what you mean... mentally I know I'm pregnant but it's still a struggle emotionally... we're all beautiful, let's all remember that!
Also, my sister is super artistic and made the mask herself! I'm super jealous of her lol... granted she has the handwriting of a 12 year old so there's that haha...
***July Siggy Challenge*** Favorite Summer Time Treat: "Anything Poolside!"
Went to a physical therapist yesterday to try and find relief for my tailbone pain. She taught me some stretches and gave me some tips to help manage it, but as expected, she said there is not much she can do. The good news is though that she gave me a little massage (yes, a butt massage) and it feels MUCH better today.
Also, SUPER excited about taking maternity pics tomorrow!! yaaaaaaay! I hope to post a sneak peak of one of them on next week's HDBD!
Whoo-hoo, it my last day of work until Jan 5th as well. I also get leave an hour early, I have an OB appt today. My back feel sooo much better. Not 100%, but I can move better and in less pain. I hope all you bumbies have a great day!

I feel ya! When I get to the scale part of my appointments, sometimes I'm basically 1-2 garments away from getting naked! Purse down, shoes off, cardigan/sweater/coat off, also can I pee first to dump those few ounces?
My sucky team appears to be running out of work to do. I've already completed a project the boss told me to get done before I take leave. Now I have a month of sitting at work to pretend to be working. It really isn't as nice as it sounds cos I'd totally rather go pretend work at home instead. Being almost 32 weeks pregnant, no internal group is interested in taking me on as a transfer. I'm kinda stuck with tis shit team. I really wish they'd lay me off while I'm on leave, so I get my paid ldeave plus severance pay.
Work is NOT supposed to be this stressful today! It is the last day before holiday break for two weeks and the kids are being SOOO disrespectful. I am shocked. I am just showing Elf and they are talking back and being so defiant. I am just like WTF right now. I don't have the energy...
sorry for my rant. I am just so anxious right now, I need to vent.
I ugly cried last night just before the hospital tour. The hospital is in a major city where I have experience driving and DH does not. DH had to drive so he knew where to go, but I kept pointing out stuff he was missing (the street sign for the hospital parking garage, the fact that he was trying to pull into the exit instead of the entrance, the "oranged-tipped" parking spaces reserved for physicians only...etc). He almost pulled into a parking space before I pointed out that it was part of the road, not parking. He was so mad at me for confusing him (he's autistic and can only process information so fast). I cried. After I apologized, he started laughing because he knew I was just hormonal and didn't get my nap after work.
I hope that doesn't happen again tonight. Directly after work on Fridays, we visit his grandmother and his parents, so we're usually out until 9-10 o'clock. Then my brother needs to be picked up at the airport around 11:30. No nap, and I probably won't get to bed until 1... I'll try to stave off the ugly cry, but I'm sure it'll find it's way to the surface.
I'm a bit sore in the shoulders from the Christmas workout last night and trying to decide if I'll take the next couple weeks off at the gym (only open 3 days a week over the next 2 weeks) or get a 10-class punch card and do the Monday sessions and then back to 2x/week in January. I kind of want to aw my lifting photos from Wednesday, but I'm totally not sure if I should.
In other fitness-y things, I got included on an invite for a "Biggest Loser" going on from Jan. to March. I chuckled because of how unsporting it would be for me to enter that.
In more fun things, DH and I are making our Christmas empanadas this weekend and we jave no additional obligations. If it's nice, we might head down to the beach for a nice long walk.

I've asked not to see the # - i only want to know if there's a problem with too much or too little gain. I stand backwards on the scale when they weigh me so i can't see. i do keep my eye on it at home (weigh a couple times a month), but the variations in clothing, water weight, etc. at the dr's office just adds unnecessary stress.
@mom2xover2002 - sigh... Won't we all, sistah? (Be over that dreaded weight). When your activity gets taken away what can you do??? (My doctor literally shrugged when I brought it up and said, 'well, we've messed w your metabolism real bad'.) glad you can stay home and bed rest there though!!! That's good news!
I just need to vent...I am so pissed and hurt right now,
I don't think my work day will be very productive and I really don't care.
I have a genuine dislike for my D(dickface)H and his precious little mommy and family. I don't even want to see or talk to him right now.
DH's priorities are all f'ed up. He has always put his family first. I'm just a crazy hormonal lady who's feeling are not validated because I'm pregnant. He needs to grow up and learn to wipe his own ass, get off the tit, and put me first. Not always, I understand his parents/family need him as well, but shit. When do I get a turn? I so regret reminding him of my OB appt today. He's out Christmas shopping with his mommy and DS today. Why it couldn't wait til tomorrow when he can do it with me is the question I'm asking. The resentment towards both of them is building up. I have tried talking to him, but he brushes it off as me just being pregnant. He can never see when he is wrong and will never admit to it. He will run, jump, and climb the highest mountain for his mother, yet can't get his ass off the couch to do something for me. Maybe it is the hormones, but whatever! Is it wrong of me to hope that DH forgot DS stroller and pray DS is a beast child today?

I have done that too, so no judgement from me. The changes in your body are hard (and yes, I think the hormones make it worse, but I think only pregnant ladies can say this, no one else). I hope you feel better! ((HUGS))!

@Maple403 DH actually offered to buy me a recliner, but I've noticed when I recline in one that breathing gets uncomfortable after a while because I'm basically on my back. Am I just weird?
My recliner keeps me from being totally on my back. It's like a 30 degree angle. I got used to it when I had my hip surgeries and couldn't lay flat (on back, side, or anything) for several weeks because it was too painful. I haven't tried it out seriously for this pregnancy though, maybe I will tonight if I wake up with hip pain again- I'll let you know if it helps.
@nbad311 hugs lady! I had a rough night last night about my body too so I wanted to let you know you're not alone! PS you always look gorgeous in your HDBD pics
@JessicaH1020 MH and I have our BF class next Monday so I'm anticipating his hilarious (sarcasm) humor that night too. Good luck!
FFS, I am so annoyed. We had some minor warranty repairs on my car that needed to be done to previous repairs after an accident, and DH accidentally broke a window so the collision place ordered everything at once and told me to bring the car in yesterday. The case manager told me at 9am that they would only be two hours, but I had a lot of errands to run so I rented a car. It wasn't ready by the end of the night last night because they had ordered the wrong part, but promised it would be ready by 4pm tonight. I called to check on it and now they are telling me that it "should" be ready by 11 tomorrow.
I'm waiting for a manager to call back because A: WTF, and B: I'm now up to almost $80 in rental car fees that I wouldn't be having to pay if they had done their job right the first time they did it. If it was just the window repair, I wouldn't have needed the rental because it only takes a few minutes to pop out the old one and put in the new.
