Happy Tuesday everyone!

I'm off to a slow start this morning. Will post shortly. What 10 things are going in your life??

AdorkablePixie · December 2015

1. I am finally starting to get a tiny little bump.

2. My cousin and I are having a baking day on Friday because we both had leave we needed to use and took off work.

3. I got an e-mail this morning that our crib was being shipped soon!!

4. Some of the cloth diapers I ordered on Black Friday are shipping out today!

5. I am working from home today and I can't seem to get warm.

6. Between 6:52am and 7:52am the same person called me two times and left me two message. Why can't people realize that only ONE message is needed and I will call back when I get it?

7. I have been craving salads lately like you would not believe.

8. I had trouble falling asleep last night after being woken up by a crazy weird dream because I couldn't stop thinking about salads. lol

9. I got a new camera for a birthday/Christmas gift and I am loving it so far.

10. I need to go eat breakfast now. lol

kbrands7 · December 2015

1. I want to wrap Christmas presents. I've been averaging about one present per day by letting DS help me in the evening. I really want a whole, movie-length session on my own in which i can get a lot accomplished.

2. I'm fighting off a cold, but DH keeps forgetting that I'm sick and gets a little frustrated when I try to go to bed at 9pm.

3. DS was super-cute yesterday playing with instruments.

4. I woke up at 2am last night to hear a door swing open, then DS pounding on our bedroom door...either DH didn't latch it correctly when he went in to say goodnight, or DS opened his door even with the childproof door handle on it. I'm betting on the first one.

5. DS has been exceptionally cuddly with me the past few days/evenings. I hope I don't get him sick.

6. Bedtime is taking forever the past few days because I can't sing like I usually do. Generally, doing the quick bedtime routine then singing/humming Somewhere Over the Rainbow 3-4 times in a row gets DS to sleep quickly. Last night, it took him 1.5 hrs to fall asleep vs his usual 20-30 minutes. Can you tell I'm over being sick?

7. My students are starting a research project today, which always means a lot of reteaching things they should have learned last year.

8. I'm still craving lots of salads and oatmeal...thankfully this LO has me eating healthy most of the time so I don't feel too bad when I want something awful like cheese fries and calzones last Friday.

9. Our anatomy scan is next week! I'm so exited.

10. Really, I'm excited for all of the upcoming anatomy scans here on the BMB.

AdorkablePixie · December 2015

@kbrands7 I'm craving salads too!! I thought I was the only weirdo. lol

laurenmdrn16 · December 2015

1. MH thought he was being helpful this morning by bringing our son into the shower with him at 6am...but I was trying to eek out just a few more minutes of sleep when I heard him call from the bathroom to get our son because he was getting cold and MH wasn't done. So I had to get out of my nice warm bed, wrangle a squirmy wet toddler, and miss my own shower getting him dressed and ready for the day. Ugh.

2. I have a meeting this afternoon for work that I completely forgot about and there is no way I want to go and sit through an hour of people just yacking about stuff. I am not in the mood.

3. I climbed into bed with my son to help him fall asleep last night and didn't get up until 3am, when I staggered back into my bed (after peeing, of course).

4. I bought all of my nieces' and nephews' Christmas gifts at Big Lots and didn't spend more than $10 on each. I don't feel guilty because my son picked out every gift and they are things they all love so who cares if I didn't break the bank.

5. I am being a total guy when it comes to this cold. I am mopey, whiney, and generally not the BAMF I usually am.

6. MH has a deacon's meeting at church tonight so that means I am on bedtime duty again and while I love cuddling with my son, I don't think my back can handle being smooshed up in his tiny bed again. Hey, at least I don't have to lift him in and out of a tubby tonight!

7. I had 76 visits yesterday in the clinic. 76! On a busy day, I usually average about 35-40, but yesterday was just cucko-pants.

8. I have gotten really skilled at wheeling my office chair around the clinic so I don't have to get up. I am lazy.

9. We have entered snissing territory so I bought a whole bunch of granny panties that I don't mind getting messed up. They are ridiculously comfortable, but soooo unattractive.

10. Feeling my baby dancing and moving is the absolute greatest feeling ever! On my lunch break yesterday I just sat quietly and tuned into the dance party the nugget was having. So awesome!

valerie4786 · December 2015

1. Sometimes seeing other people's kids misbehaving makes me second quess my decision to start a family.
2. I started Scandal on Netflix this weekend...I'm hooked!
3. I started wrapping Christmas gifts last night and they look so pretty sitting under my tree!
4. I have really been doubting my effectiveness at work lately....pregnancy has made me so forgetful!
5. I finally tried on maternity clothes at Target on Sunday and ended up crying in the dressing room in front of my husband because I just feel fat and none of the clothes fit right. I think I'll stick to my non-pregnancy clothes until I really need to switch..
6. I super cleaned our house this weekend and washed/folded/put away ALL the laundry that had been piling up. It's possibly the most motivation I've had since the week after I found out I was pregnant.
7. I forgot to bring water to work with me today when I left the house...I'm really regretting that right now.
8. I need more dresses and long tunics to wear with leggings...I told my best friend I wanted to go shopping for them but both our schedules are too busy lately.
9. I really wish my skin would clear up. It's all hormonal, and it seems to be improving, but it's so frustrating and I'm tired of feeling like a teenager again.
10. I slept in a hotel bed this weekend when I was away for a Licensure thing and it was glorious! No elbows from husband in my face or him invading my space...I got the whole bed to myself! Which makes me wonder if I'm feeling crowded now at only 15 weeks how am I going to feel when I'm 37 weeks..

swflJD · December 2015

I still haven't felt any movement from the baby yet, which is kind of strange because I saw him dancing and flailing around in there during my last US. I still don't know whether I'm going to like the movement or whether it's going to freak me out.
I bought a new, more "family friendly" car last Thursday. I like it, but I feel like I need to take it back to the dealership and get a tutorial on how to work all the gadgets. I accidentally turned the navigation on yesterday, and it decided to take me home. I was out running errands and did not want to go home, and if I did want to, I knew how to get there! I couldn't figure out how to turn it off, so I had to listen to it try to re-route me until I finally did go home.
I still haven't bought the first Christmas gift for anyone yet, and after the down payment on the car, I'm not going to be able to do any shopping until I get paid on Friday.
This weekend is the holiday boat parade in my city. We have a regatta that morning/afternoon, and we are having several friends down to our slip to watch the parade from our boat. We do this every year, and it's normally a lot of fun (involving lots of eggnog), but I'm not looking forward to being the only person there not drinking.
It is so ridiculously cold in my office! I ordered a personal space heater that should be here in a couple of days. Heaters are against the rules (fire hazard, blah, blah, blah), but I don't know what else to do when it's below 70 degrees in here (but 75+ outside)!
I can actually do 90% of my job in about 3 hours a day (hence why I'm always on here). Our office manager, whose job it is to distribute matters evenly throughout the attorneys in our department, is always worried that she is giving us too much work. I never complain or turn work down, but I'm not going to let on that I have so much down time either!
I have a 2-hour work seminar this afternoon that I am dreading, and since I've already hit my 1 cup of coffee limit today, I'll be doing it sans caffeine.
I have no idea what to get my nieces and nephews for Christmas (girl 6, girl 15, boy 14). I feel really old because I don't even know what kids these days are into. Any suggestions?
I picked up Chinese takeout for dinner last night. While I was waiting, I ran in the grocery store in the same shopping center to pick up a few essentials. As a hungry pregnant woman, that was a bad idea! I left with a jar of olives, a jar of pickles, a package of radishes, bananas, a box of cereal, and some yogurt. It was so random, but that's all that sounded good in there!
My ticker says my baby is the size of an avocado this week. Every time I see it, it just makes me want guacamole!

rlworzalla · December 2015

1. DH and I are becoming owners of a business this week. Cue hormones from stress....

2. I ate Taco Bell for breakfast and I'm ok with it.

3. We took our holiday picture for our card (sorry @yogahh !) and we usually sit with the cats by our fireplace. This year we have 3 of them and poor DH had 2 of them and couldn't keep control of them. Next year just baby!

4. I finished my Christmas shopping for my niece, nephew and sister before Black Friday but I'm still checking Target Cartwheel for some awesome deals...

5. I finally signed up for my National Counselor Exam and I'm nervous.

6. During the pregnancy I've been ok with not being able to drink but lately I've been wanting some Chardonnay hard core...

7. My 8 year old client had a cold last night during session and he wasn't understanding the need to blow his nose and wash his hands. Guess that's our new focus for the winter.

8. My parents 30th anniversary is next month and I just realized that I need to get invites together and pray they don't get lost in the Christmas fiasco. My brother doesn't involve himself in party stuff and my sister is 11 so I'm on my own.

9. People drive past me like I'm a granny going 10 under the speed limit. Yes I drive a Prius and prefer to only go 5 over but that's because I don't want a speeding ticket and I can get 50mpg.

10. I feel like a lazy bum with this cooler weather. I walk to the end of our super long driveway and consider it exercise.

yogahh · December 2015

Dinner last night consisted of a bagel with scallion cream cheese (which I never had before this weekend and now I am obsessed), a grapefruit and mint chocolate chip ice cream. All in one sitting. DH looked at me like I was crazy
I have been sneezing since 4am. Really hope this isn't a start of a cold
Have my monthly check in tomorrow. Kinda nervous. What else is new?
If DH asks me one more time what size I wear in maternity clothes I am going to scream. Obviously, I am getting maternity clothes for xmas. He is horrible at keeping secrets
I got him Jimmy Fallone's "Dada" book as a stocking stuffer!!
My cat died on 1/2/14. His picture under our tree that year popped up on my timehop today and made me sad. Only downfall of timehop is that it doesn't filter the sad things
Free shipping on Jcrew.com today (gentle pull!)... I think i am going to get the boyfriend maternity pants. With my discount, they are a steal!
Christmas Vacation and The Santa Claus were both on last night. Good night to be in our house
In 3 weeks from today, Ill have my anatomy scan. And my last name will be changed! Big week for us !!
My boss just scolded me for telling the rest of the team were invited to a holiday lunch by a vendor. Come on already...

bookelf221 · December 2015

1) We started on the nursery this weekend and got WAY more done than we expected!

2) We are now a carpet free house- YES!

3) We have finalized the paint related plans for the nursery- the wall color is done- the trim is all going to be white. The closet door will be mostly white with the "windows" painted in Hogwarts Colors. The main bedroom door (when looking at it from the inside) will look like the TARDIS. Don't judge us nerdy people.

4) My soda aversion is gone- BRING ON THE SPRITE!

5) Despite being allowed some- my hubby freaks out if I say I want a coke. JUST GIVE ME A COKE.

6) We haven't gotten our tree up yet, I'm hoping to get that done this weekend.

7) Our house is slowly coming back together after the last 6 months of absolute craziness trying to replace the floors/finish the basement.

8) I also want all the Reeses.

9) My doctor keeps insisting that I won't feel movement until week 20 ish but I'm definitely feeling movement. It's not strong enough for hubby to feel so I'm going with that's what she means. She means I won't be able to feel movement from the outside until around then. Oh look... baby says hi (such a weird and awesome feeling)

10) I keep bouncing between wanting a home doppler and not because I know I'm a worrier so I'd worry if I can't find a heartbeat, but I'd love for hubby to hear the heartbeat.

businessmama · December 2015

@swflJD guacamole sounds so good!!

bookelf221 · December 2015

I forgot to attach pictures. Sorry they are pretty big.

Nursery before

ANNNNDDDDDD....

Nursery after, while I was cleaning up. Obviously we still need to put the trim back up and reattach the doors and paint them but still. The hard part is done! I love the fact my doctor told me I could paint because I would have cried otherwise.

laurenmdrn16 · December 2015

@yogahh my son LOVES Jimmy Fallon's Dada book! I have the sweetest video of all time featuring MH and son reading that book together. It is just awesome!

https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNZ1mitRqWaffBpFNlFdS8fW_Vatj5Fm_UShXDA-vE7ekboFY7n5HxIP7v9Wt1VGA/photo/AF1QipNH9BIEIDtl0DFvJ_xWM3554kkxiRyvD3YrOAmg?key=dWtFMi03Z09GaFA0S0dpQjJQeGMwTjVXSkhxbXB3

I don't know if this will work, but here it is! I highly recommend the book :-)

businessmama · December 2015

1. I chopped 15 inches of my hair off this weekend, and I didn't cry. Yay, Alicia.
2. Still thinking about the biscuits and gravy I had for breakfast on Saturday.
3. Spoke with my father last night, and he 'doesn't know' what to get my mother. Better get some ideas, buddy.
4. My dog Titan is trolling. After working out last night, I went to hop in the shower, and my dog just jumped right in. Completely soaked and then ran to the closet and refused to leave, so proud of himself.
5. Smalls, my boxer, turned 3 Saturday, and yes, he had cake.
6. My mom was supposed to go to Vegas for a girl's trip, but isn't now because my sister is in trouble with the law. Pisses me off so badly as it is always my parents that suffer.
7. I promised my father I would get up and wait in line at 5am this Saturday at Cabela's with him.... already mourning not sleeping in.
8. I hate that it is dark everyday when I get home. I need my sunshine happiness!
9. At the Christmas Party last week, we played laser tag and my boss kept chasing me and shooting me. Who purposely hunts down the pregnant lady?!
10. I'm really hungry and have already eaten my snacks. Womp Womp. Time to raid the food samples in the work fridge.

missnc77 · December 2015

1. After about a month of waiting, I'm finally getting my NT scan results back today. Normally, my husband makes it to every appointment, but he's out of town for work today, so I'll be getting the news solo.

2. We're going house hunting this weekend, and I'm so nervous. We basically have 2 days to find a house and make an offer in order to kick off the closing process so we can move mid-January, and I see no houses I'm in love with. Not to mention, neither of us are excited about taking on a mortgage for a house we'll have to sell in 2.5 years.

3. My nose is like a faucet that I cannot turn off. Thanks pregnancy!

4. I think bananas are the best fruit ever, and it's been the only fruit I have not had a food aversion to during pregnancy.

5. My dog freaked me out yesterday morning by making me think he had another bladder infection. I took him to the vet, and the good news is, it's a false alarm. Bad news? Goodbye $120.

6. I absolutely love Christmas time, and typing this while looking at my Christmas tree gives me the warm fuzzies.

7. Did I mention I find out my NT scan results? Is it 11:15am yet? I'm so paranoid the doctor will forget that we need to talk about them, and I'll have to keep waiting.

8. At my NT scan, the tech guessed it was a boy, but to not hold her to it since it was so early. Over Thanksgiving while visiting my mom, we took her to one of those ultrasound places, and they said girl. It definitely looks like a girl now, but it looks like we'll need a tie breaker in a few weeks at the anatomy scan.

9. I think I'm obsessed with nutcrackers.

10. I have a little over one more month left as a Las Vegas resident, and I've been so spoiled by all the amazing food. As a Christmas present, my husband bought Celine Dion tickets for our last weekend here in January for a big Vegas blow-out. I am so beyond excited to see her, it makes me teary thinking about it. Cannot wait!

jessiedee13 · December 2015

1. I still feel no movement. It's weird. I honestly don't remember when I felt it with my last 2 apart from I felt nothing until I didn't have ms anymore...so we'll past 20 weeks. My ms never really came this time so I think I'm just antsy.

2. DH and I had a long talk about babies last week. We came to the conclusion that its best if this is our last baby. Financially as well as physically and emotionally for me. I'm sad about it...because...well what if this one isn't my little girl? Selfish and stupid. But that's how I feel.

3. This uti can kiss my butt. As well as the colds my children picked up from somewhere.

4. Found out my husband's cousin is also pregnant. While I'm happy for them, idk...selfish again...I wanted to be pregnant by myself this time.

5. I'm addicted to these breakfast egg muffin things I made for DS#2's bday party...omg...delicious.

6. I also made this cinnamon roll casserole my SIL refused to try because "it just looks gross". So last night (2 days post party) she posted a video of the EXACT RECIPE I made for the party (and it looks the same on the internet that it did in my pan) asking my MIL to make it for breakfast Christmas morning. Idk whether I wanna laugh or punch her in the throat.

7. I'm a grouch today.

8. I lost my ornament I had for when DS#2 was born. I've torn my whole house apart and still can't find it. I've cried more than I'd like to admit about that.

9. Idk why but I'm scared this baby is coming early. Just a feeling I have...and I don't like it.

10. I need to go make lunch for the kids...but I don't want pizza...but I promised them pizza...so I'm procrastinating lol

childcaremama · December 2015

1) This is my first time doing TTT

2) I run an in home childcare and preschool. We haven't done a field trip in forever because I haven't felt up to it. Today I'm going to take them all to the play place.

3) Our friends who have been living with us temporarily move out on Monday. It'll be really nice to have our space again and to have so much less stuff in our house.

4) I Surprised DH this past weekend with a trip to Vegas for his 30th Birthday. His parents, sister and her husband, Aunt, two uncles and two cousins came too. He was very surprised and happy. I felt like odd person out all weekend with not drinking and having deadly food allergies.

5) People who don't understand deadly food allergies and ask why don't I have a little because so and so they knew was "allergic" and would still eat the allergy food when they wanted too, are frustrating. I hate coming off like a drama queen to people who don't understand but it's my life on the line.

6) My assistant at my childcare is always 15 to 40 min late! I've been looking for a replacement for about a month and am so ready to be done with this whole process. I'll still be anxious when I fire her as I hate confrontation.

childcaremama · December 2015

7) I have another interview today for an assistant and really hope she's as good in person as she seems on paper so i can hire her today.

8) Turkey and Turkey bacon sandwiches with goat cheese on wheat free bread are totally amazing.

9) Waiting for the results of our blood test on screening and gender. Hurry up!

10) at my appointment last week my MFH specialist explained that there would be about 12 to 15 medical personnel in the delivery room. Yikes!

dsmith211 · December 2015

1. Our dog is driving me nuts. He got worked up for some reason last night and grabbed a glass Christmas ball off the tree. Thankfully it didn't break and he didn't eat it, but this now confirmed why I keep him in our bedroom while we're at work now.
2. I have done zero Christmas shopping yet. I know exactly what I'm getting DH but haven't bought it... And for everyone else no clue.
3. I'm dreading the trip down to DH's uncles house on Christmas Day. It's a good 3 hour drive with a good portion of it near the end on a stretch of highway with no exits/bathrooms. I'll have to remember to limit my water.
4. I know I'm not sick but I'm always so congested lately and it is so irritating. That combined with the constant headaches is making me feel wonderful.
5. I ordered a new Christmas ornament off of etsy and I'm really excited for it to get here. We get one every year to commemorate something big from the year so it has to do with future LO.
6. I got all nostalgic putting Christmas ornaments on the tree. DH and I both have our first Christmas ornaments and when I went to put them up I almost teared up when I realized there would be a new one on the tree next year.
7. DH and I finally sat down over the weekend and went over our savings for my leave time when baby gets here. Thankfully we discovered we will be fine and I'll be able to take off the time I planned.
8. I was just reminded I get a bonus on my February check. We get bonuses every year as part of company performance goals, then 3 years later you get that same amount again if you stay with the company. My first bonus here was pretty awesome so I'm very excited. I wasn't budgeting for it so it will really help out.
9. We put our BOB stroller together this weekend and I keep playing with it. I'll be so excited when I get to finally use it.
10. We have a Christmas party for work on Saturday and its formal attire. I managed to find a dress in our closet that actually fits and looks good and planned my outfit out just before thanksgiving. DH on the other hand waited till the last minute to realize he should probably try his suit on since he had gained some weight from last year. Of course the pants don't fit and now he either has to rent a tux, which is expensive within a week of an event, or buy new pants - also not cheap. Why must this man procrastinate with everything? It's a good thing I love him.

I agree- except the seal inside is broken so we desperately need to replace them. When we do we're going with double hung to avoid a dog or child going through the screen.

BabyL527 · December 2015

10. I need to go boil some eggs for a sandwich or to eat them by themself.

AuntieCre5 · December 2015

1. I have time to do TTT because I'm stuck fixing someone else's work and it is taking forever to load

2. really ready to start getting the nursery fixed up. just text the hubs to tell him everyone on TB is getting there nursery fixed up. he said to wait till after the reveal. uuuugh!

3. Have a check up tomorrow and excited to hear the heart beat

4. Hoping the hubs is feeling better tonight because I want to go out to eat for dinner.

5. its hard to come up with 10 things once you get started

6. I woke up this morning thinking about coming home after work and go straight back to bed.

7. I've been reading everyone birth stories from the earlier thread and I've been crying off and on all morning.

8. OH! My SIL is throwing our reveal party, it is twinkle twinkle little star themed, we went over this weekend and she even change her door bell to play that song!! I cried.

9. While we were at SIL house her in-laws who are from Philly made the most amazing Philly steak sandwiches!! I had two.

10. Everyone is guesses I'm having a boy! I hope they are right!!

mrstmoose · December 2015

1. I finally have a bump and I can no longer hide it!

2. My boss just sent me a long list of to-do's and I'm going to ignore them. I don't even care.

3. We've ordered the crib, dresser and glider! Can't wait for them to be delivered!

4. Almost all of our Christmas shopping is done and the gifts we do have, are wrapped under the tree!

5. I'm becoming fixated on finding out the sex of this baby. I hope at the appointment on 12/11 we can schedule the A/S.

6. I ate almost 3/4 pound of gummy bears between yesterday and today and I really don't feel bad. Well my stomach hurts a little...

7. I am so looking forward to my time off this month. I can barely keep focused at work.

8. Instead of working, I've really been spending time look at registry stuff. Whoops.

9. I really have been craving salads lately. Like going to a grocery store and chowing down on their salad bar. Yummmm.

10. My dad had a dream that my grandma came to him holding a baby (ours) and told him that everything was going to be alright. Since I found out about that, I've become more calm and I love the fact that my grandma has met my child.

js8812 · December 2015

1. I'm sad I missed last week's TTT. So, I'll do 20 things to make up for it. Just kidding.

2. As I was walking my dog last night, I counted 22 inflatable Christmas yard decorations and could only think of TB.

3. I haven't bought ONE Christmas gift yet. I don't have a ton of shopping to do, but I need to get on that ASAP.

4. I have never really watched Hallmark Christmas movies before, so they are all new to me. I binged over the last two weekends and it was glorious.

5. Baby has been wiggling up a storm the last two weeks and the feeling has gotten stronger and stronger. I finally started feeling them from the outside, so I can't wait for my H to come home so he can feel!

6. I have the pleasure(?) of being able to log in to work remotely when I'm at home, so I'm on this mission of getting to inbox zero. Something I've never been able to do, but I think it will give me a great sense of calmness. An author I really like, Gretchen Rubin, says "outer order leads to inner calm" and I definitely agree. I'm down from 6,500 emails to 294. Look how much stuff you can get done when you're banned from TB.

7. A client brought me the cutest little poinsettia in a vase that looks like a little Christmas bulb. It's the cutest poinsettia I've ever seen! It totally made my day.

8. The only baby purchase I've made so far is a year supply of diaps and wipes from Honest Co. Boooooring. It was a good BF deal, though!

9. I still fit into all my pants, but just got a pair of JCrew maternity dress pants that are great. I've already worn them twice because I really love this no zippers and buttons business. It's so great.

10. Anatomy scan is one week from today! I seriously can't wait. I will feel so much better once I know things are looking good for this baby. Good vibes for great results for the mamas and babies!

1. I'm sad I missed last week's TTT. So, I'll do 20 things to make up for it. Just kidding.

2. As I was walking my dog last night, I counted 22 inflatable Christmas yard decorations and could only think of TB.

3. I haven't bought ONE Christmas gift yet. I don't have a ton of shopping to do, but I need to get on that ASAP.

4. I have never really watched Hallmark Christmas movies before, so they are all new to me. I binged over the last two weekends and it was glorious.

5. Baby has been wiggling up a storm the last two weeks and the feeling has gotten stronger and stronger. I finally started feeling them from the outside, so I can't wait for my H to come home so he can feel!

6. I have the pleasure(?) of being able to log in to work remotely when I'm at home, so I'm on this mission of getting to inbox zero. Something I've never been able to do, but I think it will give me a great sense of calmness. An author I really like, Gretchen Rubin, says "outer order leads to inner calm" and I definitely agree. I'm down from 6,500 emails to 294. Look how much stuff you can get done when you're banned from TB.

@mrstmoose..... Ask your dad to ask your grandma what the sex of the baby is in his next dream!!!

1. We took DS to the zoo lights on Saturday and it was so fun! He's old enough to have noticed and watched some animals so it was adorable.

2. We also went out to eat Friday and Saturday. Not great for my scale but it was nice to be social and get out of the house after being lame for so long while DH recovered from mono.

3. We've officially decided to keep DS's nursery a nursery and move him into a big boy room! I'm planning to redecorate some of the wall stuff and accessories for new baby, mostly because I never really finished that for DS! I'm most excited to create DS's big boy room but want to wait a bit to see if he gets really into a particular theme on his own.

4. I feel like there is more and more fuel being thrown on the fire at work. I've decided (as you all are sick of hearing I'm sure) to leave my job before maternity leave and in ways I feel better about it the more things go to shit. My boss, who I'm close with and have worked with for over 4 years, is taking some things out on me and it's just crap. Really, making holiday accommodations for an intern instead of a long term employee who has a plan of how to make it work?

5. DH is starting to look for a new job! He's so smart and talented, he's really under compensated and he has gotten interest from a great opportunity already. I'm so proud of him.

6. I started doing a maternity Pilates video. It's the 10 min segments one and I try to do 2 at a time, at least ever day. Baby steps?!

7. Finding ski pants to fit this belly is not easy.

8. It's cold. Where's the snow? If I have to deal with cold there better be snow!

9. I'm worried about midwife feedback on my weight at the end of the month. Until about 12 weeks I hadn't gained any weight but now I'm up like 6-8 lbs at 16 weeks I'm sure it'll all balance out over time....right?

10. Christmas shopping is done! I think? I probably forgot someone.

js8812 · December 2015

Thanks, @Jenly17 ! I missed you gals!

Jenly17 · December 2015

Ok here goes!
Happy Tuesday everyone!

1. I just found out my brother's ex is pregnant. They were together for years and have been broken for maybe 6 months. She obviously moved on very quickly, but I think he dodged a bullet with this girl.
2. I am procrastinating on buying gifts for people. Mostly because I'm broke, but also because everyone has everything. How do you buy for people that have everything!?
3. My cheeseburger craving is still going strong. I think about them every day but only indulge every now and again. Go me.
4. I am teaching 2 back to back hot yoga classes tonight. I'm tired just thinking about it. Zzzzzzzzzz
5. My mom asked me if we were going to take a Christmas photo to send out to family this year. As I've mentioned previously, I live with her right now and circumstances are weird. H, DD and I usually take a picture in front of our tree, but this year we're at my moms and she has no tree yet. I'm not motivated to do one at all!
6. I am loving groupon. Although I'm procrastinating on the gift purchases, I do love to browse all of the unique and sometimes outright strange gifts on groupon.
7. When I have more time, I'm going to share my birth story on the earlier thread. Just thinking about birth again kind of scares me but it also makes me feel like a damn superwoman.
8. There are days that I am so excited to have 2 kids and other days I can totally wait. I have that strange feeling that my time is expiring with just my daughter and I. I know I will love both children equally, but it's hard for me to wrap my head around just yet.
9. The past 4 weeks flew by..I just realized that I already have an OB appt next week. Wasn't I just there!?
10. Ten things is hard but I love reading them. My tenth thing is that I'm making mini turkey meat loaves for DD and they smell divine. I'm probably going to have her share with me.

1. I just had lunch and I'm still hungry. Story of my life lately.

2. DH decided on the name! We decided on it the day we found out the sex but today he said 100%, he loves it.

3. Now I wish I never told anyone the name. My mom and my brother keep making other suggestions. I've gone off on them both.

4. My boobs are growing faster than my belly. I need new bras.

5. My coworkers keep making mistakes and it's making me terrified for when I go on maternity leave. Anytime I take one day off, I have to come back and do damage control.

6. I have a regular check up and my anatomy scan next Monday! They're 3 hours apart so I'm taking the whole day off.

7. Hoping to hear everything looks good with the anatomy scan.I wasn't this worried the first time around. I guess I was young and naive then.

8. Funny story from last night: I was painting my 8 year old's nails and she got up with wet nails and asked "Can you pick the chonies out of my butt." A mother's work is never done!

9. My daughter has her Christmas program this week and then we're going to watch a Christmas boat parade this weekend. Can't wait!

10. My daughter and I are running a 5k this weekend. My friend asked me to babysit her 15 month old. So I'm going to be 19 weeks pregnant running and pushing a toddler in a stroller. What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger right?

This. I'm the same way. I really want to scream at people "Can't I be gone ONE DAY without you screwing up everything?!?!" but that would be bad.

@cortney626 are you gonna share your name with us?!?!

LadySamLady · December 2015

1. Work has been really busy and I missed TB today!
2. I've been catching up on Veep this week and it's great. I forgot how much I love that show, looking forward to watching another episode when I get home tonight.
3. I have no idea what to wear for my company holiday party next week. I really didn't want to buy something new but my bump is growing fast, I'll probably end up at H&M because they're cheap.
4. My office mate doesn't like Christmas music and it is sad. I put it on while he's at lunch.
5. I still haven't bought anything for the baby. It will probably be a while before I do.
6. I decided that I want to have a co-ed shower. Why is it only for women traditionally? Last I checked this baby is 50% his...
7. Our dog park besties are traveling for work and I miss them. And my dogs miss their dog. The past few mornings our crew has been rather thin and the dogs don't get as much exercise as I'd like.
8. I cannot believe it is already December 8th. Christmas and New Years are going to fly by and all of a sudden it will be 2016 and baby's birth year!!
9. I didn't find TB until after I got KU but I still lurk the TTGP board because I like to read about BFPs and I'm a creep.
10. My H is teaching tonight and so I'll be on my own for dinner and night time dog duty. I usually like it but tonight I miss him extra for some reason. Evening dog walks are so much more fun together!!

Wow my list is SUPER boring today. Next Tuesday is my A/S so should be much more interesting!!

Welcome to my week last week for my husband's squadron party. I ordered two maternity dresses. Nope. Went to Motherhood, nope. Tried on every dress in Banana Republic, nope, nope, and nope. I said this in the holiday dress thread I started, but when I measured myself to order a non-maternity dress online, my chest is now a size 14, my waist is a size 12, and my hips are still an 8 (my pre-preg size). Everything I tried on at Banana Republic fit me perfect below the chest, but when I went up to a size 10 or 12 for my chest, the dress was like wearing a potato sack. So frustrating! Finally I came back home defeated and started going hanger by hanger through my dress closet and found a green dress I bought after I had gained weight from moving to Vegas (too much good food and booze) but before I lost some of it. I luckily grabbed a pair of black tights at Motherhood since I was there, and the whole outfit was a life saver. I was about to go the tacky sweater route.

I love hearing baby names

1. DH has refused to go to the Virgin Islands for good this time so I am having to rack my brain on what to get him for Christmas. I'm thinking maybe the bar doors he wants for his Jeep I guess.

2. Another day of BH. NOT excited. These things hurt like a B.

3. Can't wait to go home early from work so I can get something to eat and go to bed promptly.

4. DH said our friend who is building our mother in law suite is coming this weekend to start the plans on building ((fingers crossed)).

5. I am anxiously waiting for my Zulily order to come in bc I'm hoping the holiday dress I bought is going to fit.

6. DD's karaoke machine came in and I'm so excited for her to see it on Christmas!

7. Called the doctor today and they are going to look at my report from the ER and call me with further instructions. Crossing my fingers it's not bed rest. They told me if I start to get BH then I need to lay on my left side for an hour... Not an easy feat at work lol.

8. We've had 2 employees quit this week. When I started here 8 years ago we had a total of 22 people. As of this week we now have 8. FML.

9. I'm kinda sad Wicked City was cancelled.

10. Can not wait until the week of Christmas. Just having a half day on Tuesday alone then off the rest of the week is just amazing.

doozer1345 · December 2015

@kbrands7 this week and last DD has decided not to go to bed before 12am or 1am. Yep (mom of the year of here) and I'm not sure if her getting up at 9 or 10am is a good enough pay off of this. I'm still debating.

doozer1345 · December 2015

@childcaremama I've never had goat cheese and have been too scared to try it. Is there another cheese that it tastes like so I can wage whether I want to actually go through trying it??
