What a hard first week back to work after the holidays this has been! I'm so glad it's almost over, even though I'll likely need to do some work over the weekend.

Last night I was awoken around midnight by the fire alarm in my building. I called the security desk as was told it was a leaking (presumably burst frozen) pipe. I could hear water running in the walls. I hope my apartment didn't get damaged. DH was away and I am so grateful DD didn't wake up. Still I couldn't get back to sleep til 1:30.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I'm so excited it's finally Friday! This work week has been awful. I told DH we need to sit down and figure out a new budget bc I can't imagine working till the end this pregnancy. I didn't realize how spoiled I was with my first. I'm so fatigued and sore, I feel like I did at 30+weeks with DS.

I woke up dreaming about my favorite pizza and can't wait till lunch time now. I'm meeting an old co worker for lunch and it's definitely going to start this weekend off in the right direction.

SlurpeeLove · January 2015

It seems like everyone is asleep today. This is the first time all week that I check the randoms first thing in the morning and there aren't already 20-something posts!

MigdaliaRose · January 2015

Agreed, this was a tough first week back. I can't wait to sleep.

I am proposing a couple of different options for how I might take maternity leave during the Fall semester to my boss today. Here's hoping that he is receptive!

tashala107 · January 2015

Happy Friday, ladies!!! It's been a longggg week! Something to make you smile!

catahoulatte · January 2015

Oh happy day, it's Friday AND DH and I have a date night this weekend.

CoachTsWife · January 2015

Long, rough week here too.

However, DH's cousin announced on FB last night that they're expecting and due in September. Our LO is going to have a little cousin the same age!! We don't see them a lot, but family gatherings will be fun!! DH's extended family is big and I'm glad I won't be the only one in the baby spotlight this year.

We haven't announced yet, we're waiting for the NT scan results, which is next week. So we have a few more weeks to go. Family is going to be double blessed!

SJ7108 · January 2015

This freaking snow! It was supposed to be "light snow". We got white out conditions and it started right at the beginning of my commute. I will now be late to work. ARG!

Positive is that it's Friday.

mollykinnz · January 2015

The buses are cancelled for the second day this week here. Lucky kids, poor parents who have to scramble to find somewhere for them to go!

lindylogana · January 2015

Ugh what a long week! TGIF ladies!

I am totally wearing leggings as pants today with no shame. And today is the day I tell the boss that I'm pregnant. I get so nervous about these things. I don't think it helps that it will be via phone (she doesn't work in our office) and I don't want everyone to hear me say it. I'm also nervous because I always feel bad taking time off and I feel like a pest when I'm going to need off 1-2 hours every month for Dr. appointments.

mollykinnz · January 2015

lindylogana I get so nervous about telling people too! Good Luck!!

c-elizabethf · January 2015

Ugh...dd is driving me nuts. She didn't go to sleep until midnight and woke up at 4. I'm just so tired and I want to cry. Bright side my appointment is today at 10 so I'm hoping things go smoothly.

RWPhoenix · January 2015

I'm subbing for a music teacher today and she left movies to watch all day, sweet easy day! The only down side is my lunch is wicked early...maybe I will just eat during one of the later classes. Also joining the tired train, might let DD watch some TV today after I pick her up and sneak a nap before DH gets home. TGIF!

catahoulatte · January 2015

I can't remember/have no motivation to go searching for her, but for the poster who was asking about stocking up on baby Uggs-and everyone else who wants cute baby stuff but let's be serious, real shoes on an infant just doesn't work- Baby steals has ADORABLE crocheted booties on sale today.

I do too. It feels very AW-ish to me and that is not me at work at all. I like to keep to myself and get in and out.

I've been trying to find some local mom friends with little luck (it's damn hard when you work full time, right?) so tomorrow night I'm going to a MNO and part of me already wants to back out. All I know is that it's a regional MNO and where they are meeting. I have talked to the organizer so they are expecting me, but AHHH.

I was in Aug13 too! Hi:)

You are brave, I have so much trouble making "new" friends haha. I found signing up for classes with DD are the easiest way for me to meet people. I really like a mommy/baby yoga class and music class. I met a nice family through toddler swim class too! GL!

Emeraldeyed315 · January 2015

Work is seriously stressing me out. I'm a part time teacher, I only work Mondays through Thursdays. But, I'm a total "type A" so I keep signing up for extra stuff. Today, I signed up to run the elementary character ed assembly. It's not till 1, which is nice. Why do I keep doing this!?

apbogan · January 2015

Happy Friday!!

I missed the call from the genetic counselor yesterday (message said with good news) So I'm impatiently waiting for her to get in at 9:00. I dreamed last night it was a boy and that the results showed I wasn't producing enough antibodies for the baby (wtf) and it would have to have some type of surgery at seven months old. Then my BFF who is a nurse (IRL) told me it was a scam by pharmaceutical companies to get money. Lord.

babycarb · January 2015

I did NOT want to get out of bed this morning. But it ended up being one of those magical mornings that even though I got up way late, I ended up at work early. How on earth does that happen? I guess I'm more efficient when I'm in a hurry. Anyway, I'm going down for my first decaf latte of the day (thank GOD for in-office Starbucks), and I might be back in approximately 2938753957 seconds.

Happy Friday lovelies!

cabinchick · January 2015

I'm starting to get SUPER nervous about preparing for baby, and it is very hard to deal with lately. I wish I could find a group to join (prenatal yoga, expecting mom groups, classes, ANYTHING!) But I live in a very small town, travel overnight often for work, and will be moving in Feb/March, but don't know where. The OB and hospital I picked aren't really helpful, because they are an hour+ away, in the one town we ruled out for moving to. We were originally moving there for sure, but DH lost one of his jobs.

It's hard enough with all the unknowns in my life right now...but even harder with zero support group

and being a FTM, I have no clue what I am doing!

@Errsbear11 that's what we're here for!

I'm sorry you don't have many resources in your town.

cabinchick · January 2015

Thanks, @catahoulatte‌ !!! I definitely don't know what I would do without you ladies! My friends would be SO sick of hearing about baby stuff. And my DH would be making me do all the wrong thjngs, lol! He is very mis-informed about a lot of stuff, I've already showed him threads to get him to stop yelling at me! Last night he made me eat literally until I puked everywhere...so thank goodness for the plethora of weight loss posts recently!

RWPhoenix · January 2015

Anyone want to have a GIF off?

ANGELAV310 · January 2015

I thought I was alone with not getting getting enough sleep and waking up every hour but I see a lot of you are having the same problems. Last night it was 2am and I was still awake. I can't wait to have a good night sleep!

c-elizabethf · January 2015

So I was getting ready for my doctors office and I told Dh to keep an eye on dd. I walk back in the living room and he is Sitting with her on the couch watching baby TV and feeding her peanut m&ms. Really?! It's 8 am and she doesn't need to eat that right now. Ugh.

BarefootContessa · January 2015

It's FRIDAY! So glad. The first week back from holidays/vacation always feel like they last an eternity.

I'm already two breakfasts in (oops), rocking out some work, and ignoring the desperation to look at my phone every thirty seconds to see if the doc office has called with my Harmony results.

guentnel · January 2015

I had my blood drawn for all my blood work yesterday and had a student do it(not by choice)

ahsile10 · January 2015

I just realized this morning that I am going to have to buy some sort of new car seat/booster for DD. Ugh. Money. Right now she is in a Britax Marathon 65, and she mostly fits fine, except her shoulders. The back of the seat is narrow, and she can not lean all the way back in it comfortably. I felt sorry for her when I noticed it.

She said, "it's not too uncomfortable, mommy." But I could tell by her tone that she wasn't being totally sincere. I just feel so much safer with her in a 5 point harness as opposed to a booster, especially since she falls asleep in the car a lot.

Plus, this car seat will expire in 1 year anyway so I can't really use it for the next kid. I shouldn't have had them so far apart!

rosainky · January 2015

I'm still laying in bed feeling like a terrible dog mom bc my dog's want to go on their walk (I've already let them out to pee earlier) but it's just so freaking cold! (Ok I'm being a weenie because it's much warmer in Georgia at my parents' house than back home where DH is)

And I can't decide what I'm craving for lunch....

apbogan · January 2015

Got the call back finally and it's a BOY. Now someone tell me how wonderful and easy boys are. My 15 yo DD is going to be so disappointed LOL

I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed being a mom to a boy. Granted, I have no experience with girls, but DS pulls at my heart strings in a way I never could have imagined. You'll love it.

Someone left all the donuts right in front of the pregnant lady

My son is so sweet and way less sassy than my daughter. But he's also crazy and wild and climbing, jumping or running everywhere.

RWPhoenix · January 2015

Guys Guys it's snowing! Finally!

Congrats @apbogan!!

DS is not easy, but I wouldn't trade him for anything. I LOVE having my sweet momma's boy. There's nothing like your little boy running in to grab you and hug you and tell you that his mommy is the prettiest mommy ever.

ETA: Plus, they pee standing up. SO easy. Haha

apbogan · January 2015

Thanks @3timemom, @BarefootContessa, @lindylogana and @catahoulatte and @Andindria!

I think that's what I'm most worried about is the activity level. DD would disappear for hours just creating with legos or whatnot. My three nephews (who are teenagers now) used to drive me crazy with their noise level, wrestling, rough housing. Sigh. I know it will be fine, I just secretly wished it was a girl.

ahsile10 · January 2015

Congrats! @apbogan

RWPhoenix · January 2015

The room I am subbing in has motion detection lights and I have a free period right now. So every few minutes the lights go off, I have to get up walk six steps and then they come back on. First world problems

mommytati · January 2015

I had the most realistic vivid dream last night that I had a baby boy. It felt so real and I saw what he looked like and everything. I was so disappointed to wake up because I just wanted to hold my sweet baby boy. I always had a hunch that this baby was a girl but now I am not so sure.

And also I think I am going to make my self mac and cheese for breakfast because I'm pregnant and that's excuse enough!
