A few things: It's Friiiiiday yippee! It's gonna be 70 degrees in Boston today. It snowed last weekend! I think we found a pediatrician yesterday. Pretty sure DH and I will be putting the decals on the nursery wall this weekend.
TGIF! And Good Friday at that. My husband is joining the Catholic church this Easter weekend and we both have today off. Still lying in bed, listening to the thunderstorm outside. Hoping it clears up soon because I want to treat myself to a fancy (decaf) Starbucks drink, get colorful flowers to plant from HomeDepot and then go interview the pediatrician. Off to a good start! Thankful for a sloooooow morning!
As usual, I'm thankful for my husband. Last night I came home from my internship to find dinner on the table and candles lit in the bedroom. I've talked before about how money is tight and he and I are both crazy busy between his work and my school obligations... but even with all the other things going on in our lives, still makes an effort to be romantic and make me feel good about myself. He's the best I'm lucky to be married to him and our baby is so lucky to have him as a dad - I know he's going to treat her just as well if not better than he treats me!
I just found out that my job will be closed after all on sunday! I'm really happy my boss changed her mind about being open now I get to enjoy family and church time!
Happy it's Friday, Happy I'm working from home, Happy I had a good check up this morning with good blood pressure for me and good heart rate for my little girl, Happy I'm done with the glucose test and I'll be even happier if I hear I passed the test! (they said it might be a few days but I'll be on vacation next week so hopefully I'll see a happy email from them... or not hear from them at all, which is always good news from them)
Happy in 48 hours i'll be on the beach in the Bahamas!! I'm gonna miss posting with you guys next week (though who am i kidding, i'll probably use the wifi in the morning and evening to see how you guys are doing! )
I'm thankful for the fact hubby and I both have the day off today because of the Easter weekend. So what am I going to do today? Not a damnnnn thing, and love every second of it! Lol But seriously, glad all you ladies are seeing the positives in life
I'm so thankful that I get to spend spring break visiting family out of state! It's been tough going through this pregnancy without my mom but in just six days I get to see her
My friend dropped off some homemade Gluten free bread and it is delicious...not great for my Gestational Diabetes but still so good! I need to slice it up and freeze it.
I'm thankful for my mom. She is 5 hrs away but no matter the crazy hour she always texts back or answers the phone. corny as heck but also thankful for Holy Week and Easter/religious holiday. I know I cuss a lot but I still love Jesus. Lol
I'm thankful for the delicious hot crossed buns I are this morning at the bakery. Oh so good!!! I'm also thankful for my sweet husband who still makes me feel sexy. I got a whistle out of him as I walked through the living room naked this am on the way to the shower. It started this day off right. I'm also so grateful for my amazing son who makes me belly laugh every day. I love this age, he seriously says the funniest things. His current favorites are "no way Jose" and "I'm freaking out" or "stop freaking out mom/dad". He's two, so seeing those phrases pop out of his small body is so dang funny. O:-)
I'm so thankful for my maternal fetal medicine doctors. If not for them, the various OBGYNs on call from my practice would have delivered me 3 different times since we have been in the hospital. Baby girl still looks great on the monitor - so we are baking for another day at least (this after an AM ordeal of the OB taking away my food, placing an iv, giving me fluids, and telling me to prepare to have a c section at 4pm today). 31w3d tomorrow and so hoping to make it to 32!!
My Grandma turned 96 on Wednesday! She is the grandma who bakes cookies for every visit and makes an extra turkey for the family dogs at Thanksgiving. Our family and everyone who knows her just adores her. Our LO will have her name as middle name if we have a girl. I am so so grateful she is still with us and in good health, knock on wood.
This past week had its ups and downs. It's hard being on bed rest because not only do I feel bored and unproductive, it gets lonely sometimes. So here's what I'm thankful for...
1. I was having a tough time w/ DS waking up in the middle of the night. Not only was it teething but possibly sleep regression. One night I had difficulty sleeping since the baby was moving non stop and DS woke up in a fit. I had a moment of WTH am I thinking have 2 under 2?! Then it dawned on me that DS is going to be a big brother! I'm going to have two little boys! I felt all lovey-dovey and weepy. Then I woke up DH to take care of our sleep regressing teething toddler.
2. Speaking of DH... DH and I are teachers and this week was spring break! Even though we didn't get to go anywhere it's so nice having him home. Plus he's clearing out his man cave which will eventually be the boys' room.
3. We got our taxes done and got a refund! We have to live a little lean since I went on leave so that chunk of change will definitely help!
4. This past month it feels like my brain atrophied! For the hell of it I looked up some online classes and found one with that offered scholarships. I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. So I applied and got a scholarship! I'm pretty excited to start. It's basically a creative writing and illustration class.
I'm thankful that since DH had yesterday and today off he's cooking tonight. God bless him he's color blind and terrified of cooking meat but he's cooking pork chops and 3 sides as we speak. I'm sitting on the couch getting caught up on the Bump drinking chocolate milk.
Mmm chocolate milk. I'm thankful that I had my OB visit today and everything is still looking right on schedule and a-ok. DH got tired of hearing me complain for a chili dog, so he went out and got the fixin's and made me some. I'm sure I'm not going to be thankful for chili dogs later tonight, but for now - they were fantastic.
Honestly, I am so thankful to have had a productive day in the bathroom. No I was not cleaning.. I am just feeling great now that I am no longer constipated I cherish these moments/hours as I know the feeling will not last.
As Friday is coming to an end, I'm going to add another thing I'm thankful for. I stated earlier I wasn't going to do anything because it was my day off....well I lied. I decided to go shopping. Which NORMALLY goes horribly wrong because I either get tired, my back hurts, or I just can't find what I'm looking for. Well today my shopping was very productive! Found some cute shirts, the puppy got new bones and got amazing smelling candles! Now what I'm really thankful for is the fact I was inches away from getting into a bad accident but somehow didn't get hit. It was raining (go figure, rain in Washington!?) and there was a ton of traffic on the road from the rain and wet roads. The traffic seemed to have lightened up a bit and we were going at a decent speed when all of a sudden it slowed down drastically. The car behind me was going at a high speed and the car behind him was seriously flying. Next thing I know the car that was flying swerved off the road but still hit the car behind me, car behind me jumped and spun towards the right and hit someone in the lane next to me. Somehow 4 cars ended up being involved in the accident, I witnessed everything and my car was miraculously untouched!
So Yea....I am extremely thankful I wasn't a part of the accident but am also hoping everyone was ok!

@kzeas01 so glad you're ok. I got rear ended at about 9 weeks. There is nothing more terrifying than seeing someone about to hit you and knowing there is nothing you can do. Glad you and LO are safe!
Re: Happy/Thankful thread - Fri 4/3

He's the best
I'm also thankful to have the day off. I've been tired this week so I am thankful for the rest.
And as always I am thankful for DH because he rocks!
Happy in 48 hours i'll be on the beach in the Bahamas!! I'm gonna miss posting with you guys next week (though who am i kidding, i'll probably use the wifi in the morning and evening to see how you guys are doing! )
