It's a three things day for me. Happy Tuesday!
1. I haven't left the house in 4 days d/t being sick. Whyyyyy aren't there some drugs out there for us sick pregnant women!?
2. I cleaned for about a half hour today and then threw in the towel. Showered and returned to bed.
3. Last night's excitement was good reading material. I like a spicy board!

Re: TTT
2. Since it's raining - I am making pancakes tonight. A very Afrikaans tradition to have pancakes in the rain. I'm doing one savoury version and then one with cinnamon sugar.
3. I am addicted to Shameless. Luckily DH is as well.
4. I am so tired - and it's not even 4pm yet.
5. I miss coffee.
6. I've been having trouble breathing properly and then I get freaked out which makes it even MORE difficult to breath until I yawn, and then only am I better. Please tell me this is pregnancy related and that I am not the only one?
7. It's already the 12th day of the year and I have not yet felt motivated to work. It's been extremely tough but I guess I need to suck it up!
8. I get dreams where I shout at my younger sister. This is a recurring dream. We have no beef, so this makes absolutely no sense. And it's ugly shouting.
9. AS next week and I can't wait to see baby boy again.
10. DH gave me the thumbs up to get a domestic worker (maid) in a couple of days a week. I am very excited - it will help a lot!
2. DH took my car to work today. I knew he was going to, but it made me oddly sad this morning when it wasn't in the garage.
3. I hope my grandma isn't doing any shoveling. I called her and she said she wasn't going to, but she wouldn't tell me if she did so idk...she hates it when we worry about her.
4. I've changed 4 poop diapers this morning and only puked once. Progress lol
5. I still haven't printed ds2's 1 year birthday pictures...he's 3 months in the ones I have up...
6. We moved ds2 to the crib last night. He slept pretty good!
7. Comfession....my Christmas tree is still up...why you ask? Because we broke our lamp and I've been too lazy to go buy a new one lol
8. Bananas in pyjamas is on hulu. These kids haven't budged since I turned it on lol the theme song will be forever stuck in my head though.
9. I have no idea what I'm making for lunch today...and the kids are already asking.
10. The boy I babysit wiped his nose on my new blanket...I cried. Ridiculous.
Edit Cuz autocorrect got me good lol
@Charissadeats DH & I LOVE Shameless, too! It's hilarious, and it makes me feel so much better about my own life! I have some pretty "out there" family members, so when I watch that show I'm always like, "Well, it could always be worse!"
2. I started a 4 week course for work today- professional development. The problem is I feel like I've taken this course before but I can' for the life of me find any record of it. I think it's because it's repeating many of the things in the other Teen related courses I've taken.
3. I need to find and work on updating my resume. A manager position opened up in my library system and I'm going to apply. I don' really think I'll get it, but I want to make it clear to the administration that it's something I'm interested in.
4. I'm obsessed with biscuits right now.
5. I discovered that if I limit it to half a cereal bowl, I can eat doritios without getting sick. YAY Pregnancy craving met!
6. I finally figured out how to move on in my video game. I could have googled it, but I try really hard to figure things out for myself first.
7. My hubby and I have been working our way through Supernatural. I called a break last night though after I dreamed of demon hunting all night Sunday. Not nightmares, but they certainly weren't restful dreams.
8. The dresser for the nursery should be here tomorrow- though I admit to hoping it gets delivered today.
9. I received the "free" nursing pillow I got through a coupon. I say "free" because of the processing and shipping, I paid $20. I don't think I'm going to bother with the other "free" things I have coupons for. It's also smaller than I thought it would be.
10. I finished a book (overdue library book) this morning and am about 10 pages from the end of the pregnancy/childbirth/newborn book I've been reading for a couple months. WOOT WOOT. I highly recommend From The Hips. It's an excellent read and covers topics from both points of view instead of from an obvious bias.
2. I bought a crib that wasn't supposed to arrive until March but it came within a week of ordering. Of course we had to put it together right away - I love it. I'm so excited to be working on the nursery. (Pic below)
3. I saw The Revenant over the weekend. Holy Leonardo DiCaprio. I just love him.
4. It made me want to watch Titanic again. All three hours of pure Jack and Rose.
5. I went to IKEA yesterday and no one was there. It was amazing. I perused all the things at my leisure.
6. I'm trying to eat more vegetables but let's be honest, I still hate them.
7. My DD only wanted cashews for breakfast this morning. She literally told me she needed her protein. She just turned two.
8. My current craving is anything with whipped cream on it.
9. I might be going to the beach in March but the chances of me wearing a bathing suit are very slim. Slim to none.
10. Because French fries.
2. My H is out of town and we've been writing love emails. It's seriously awesome.
3. My H is out of town and so that means I can invite my dog on the bed at night. Also seriously awesome.
4. I drink a cup of coffee a day; I've been wondering if my LO is going to get a caffeine headache when he is born? Is that a thing or my mind being paranoid?
5. I work at a university and classes haven't started yet. I'm consistently the only person in the office. Don't people have research to work on? Anyways, it's quiet but lonely.
6. I'm making bean soup for dinner tonight.
7. I will be on leave from the day I deliver (May 9, expected) to mid-January. I'm starting to think this is too long to be away from work.
8. Am looking into buying a Toyota Prius V. Anyone have one? It's the wagon Prius.
9. I have some insanely overdue library books and am plotting my excuse to get out of fines.
10. I have a four-hour meeting this afternoon. NOOOOOOOOOO!
DS: Born 5-17-16
2. I've started feeling baby move, not kicking so much but more like tapping on my bladder lol.
3. DH And I went to BuyBuyBaby the other day to start picking out registry stuff. Our nursery theme is happy jungle
Just three things for now!
2. I liked the excitement last night. I, too, like a spicy board. Which is why I couldn't care less if UO goes until Sunday OR if someone comments that they think it's going too long.
3. Our new carpet won't be installed until the 3rd week of Feb. I don't want to order any nursery furniture until the carpet is in. I'm so impatient.
4. I changed my mind on having a baby shower. I initially didn't want one, but now I agreed to let my SIL and bestie throw it for me. I'm excited now! It will be on March 20th when I'm almost 32 weeks.
5. I haven't gotten my hair done since late Sept. Oops.
6. We finally joined the rest of America and started watching Making a Murderer. OMG. So many thoughts. We finished episode 4 last night.
7. I need to switch foundations. I tend to like liquid foundation for coverage, but have acne prone skin if I'm not careful. Any suggestions???
8. I went to the movie Sisters on Saturday. It was good, but I think it's more of a renter.
9. I'm eating a delicious grapefruit right now. I probably eat way too much fruit in a day, but it's just so tasty.
10. It's a busy day at work today... I'll try to staff off TB until noon!
2. I am grumpy today. I stayed up way too late watching the Alabama/Clemson game.
3. I don't even like football that much, but it was an exciting game.
4. Today is the viability milestone for baby boy!
5. On Friday night, we fly to Orlando for one last Disney trip as a family of 3.
6. For some reason, it made me teary-eyed to think about last memories as a family of 3. What is with me today?!
7. The shirt I'm wearing today ITCHES. Ahh!!
8. Macy's stopped selling the bedroom set I want for DDs new room... Grr.
9. I need a serious attitude adjustment today. Everything is annoying me.
10. Is it Friday yet?
2. My cold has officially moved into my chest so my head doesn't feel like it is a million pounds, but I have a very lovely sounding hacking cough, which is super reassuring coming from the school nurse.
3. I am giddy whenever anyone at work mentions the baby! I chatted with our guidance counselor and SLP for most of the morning about how excited I am and it was so nice to hear how happy they were for me too.
4. I just realized that I need to complete ALL of the hearing and vision screenings on every single student in my school by April 15th. Panic attack!
5. Updated RCS date: April 20th. Yup, that is when Baby Luna will enter the world. It is so bizarre to know that now and to be able to make real concrete plans. It is so different from all the uncertainty with my son.
6. The business manager for our district LOVES me because I have her son in my school and he is my little buddy (such a sweetie!). Somehow I am hoping that will mean she will find some magical math to keep me on payroll a little longer into my maternity leave. I doubt it, but, hey, it could happen.
7. I am running a meeting this afternoon for the district Health and Wellness Advisory Committee. I have no idea what I am doing. Yet, somehow, I always sound like I have everything under control. I hope I can keep up the facade until April.
8. On that note, I am also presenting at our school's Community Meeting next week. I know that the theme is "responsibility", but I am not sure exactly what I am going to say/do. I will probably just wing it and hopefully it will all turn out ok.
9. I am still struggling with how/when to tell the kids and parents that I am pregnant and taking leave after April vacation. I will probably tell certain parents right before February break and the kids after break. I don't really know...
10. Still going strong with the Fitbit...and consistently under the daily calorie requirements (despite having a pint of Ben and Jerry's Tonight Dough ice cream staring back at me every time I open the fridge). I do need to up my physical activity, but with being sick it has been hard to get up the energy.
This sums up my life right now:
1.) School starts back up a week from today and I am really excited. I'm also nervous because I will need to talk to my professors about taking finals early as Cole is due the week before finals.
2.) I booked a maternity/newborn combo with an amazing photog for $350! Score!
3.) Work has been insane lately and I cannot wait until I no longer have to go back to it when Cole is here. My main focus will be him and school.
4.) H has been working insane hours so I am missing him like crazy.
5.) My cousin and aunt are throwing my baby shower and my cousin keeps sending me the cutest little things that they are doing. I can't wait!
6.) I can touch my tongue to my nose.
7.) Just started re-reading Harry Potter. This will be my 8th time through the series.
8.) My boss brings his dog into the office most days. Yesterday he (the dog) came up and put his nose on my belly and his head on my lap. Cole bopped him right in the nose. Poor dog looked at me with a look of utter betrayal.
9.) Currently eating a banana but dreaming of the cheese Danishes in the breakroom.
10.) I think H and I are going to book a hotel in the mountains for Valentine's Day this year. We don't normally do anything but I think we will this year since it is our last one before little man is here!
2. I ate a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast this morning.
3. DH was named Teacher of the Year at his school, and I'm so proud of him. The school is having a surprise reception for him this afternoon, and I'm going.
4. Seeing @bookelf221 talk about Supernatural reminded me... I've seen maybe 3 episodes of that show, and one of those had this super evil demon that announced he was born on my exact birthday (same year, too). I stopped watching after that.
5. My alma mater was the only school to beat the National Champions in football this year
6. Every time I look at/add things to my registry, I get all teary thinking about the babe that's going to use all those things.
7. My company usually has it's annual (fancy) party in mid-February, but they recently announced that it's going to be in mid-May this year. Ugh, I'm going to be huge then.
8. My nesting kicked in this past weekend, and I reorganized our kitchen cabinets.
9. Last year, DH got a scholarship and took one week-long grad school class at a school several states away in the middle of June. He told me he's thinking about doing it again this year. Umm, we're going to have a two weekish-old baby then?!
10. I definitely should get back to work.
DS1: May 2016
DS2: Jan 2019
Baby #3 EDD: 6/18/24
2. I was so excited to finally get snow, but now I take back everything I said! I'm pretty sure my shoulders are sore today from tensing up while I was driving last night.
3. We still haven't done a single thing to get the nursery ready other than move the crib in there. We still have to paint and do so much, but I'm just not motivated enough lately.
4. I've had this awful cold for going on a week and a half and I just want to lay in bed until it goes away.
5. I have horrible mom guilt today for losing my temper with DD last night, so I'm probably going to surprise her with a cookie later. She literally told me that I broke her heart. Of course I cried.
6. I need more sleep!!!!! I'm exhausted all day long and as soon as I lay in bed I'm wide awake. I've been up until 3-4 am the past 4 nights. Probably not helping me get over my cold.
7. They're putting a Which Wich 5 minutes from my house and I'm probably going to eat there way more than I should. I'm obsessed with their chicken pesto.
8. I wish I could hire a cleaning service. Since I've been sick I haven't done much more than *maybe* cook dinner at night.
9. I really want to redo all of our flooring downstairs before the baby gets here but I don't think DH is going to go for it.
10. I've been working on the same thing at work (research lab) for 6 months and I just found out the sample I'm using for ALL of my experiments has been wrong the entire time. I give up. I love/hate science.
2. We put together DS's twin bed this weekend after he's been so successful with the middle transition of the mattress on the floor. He loves it and is doing so well!
3. I'm ready for this semester to be over so I can start with new students. I have less than two weeks, then I get a change of pace. It may not be better, but at least it will be different.
4. DH turns 30 this weekend! I'm excited to celebrate with him.
5. SIL is coming into town for the weekend. It'll be great to see her. DH has been trying to convince her to move here for years.
6. Any Pittsburghers? Industry Pub House has great food and is kid-friendly! We tried it out this past weekend.
7. After-work dance-parties with DS are so much fun. I definitely get out of breath sooner than I used to though.
8. LO has started really thumping in there! The other day he made my stomach visibly bounce with a few kicks in a row while DS was cuddling with me. DS just looked at my stomach, then at me and said, "Wow, Mama."
9. I'm hoping for a 2hr delay tomorrow. They have cancelled after school activities already for today. I'll still need to report at my usual time, but I'll get more planning time if there's a delay.
10. I'm wearing low panel pants today. It was a mistake. They are not as comfortable as full panel this pregnancy.
ETA. #11. I forgot this happened until a moment ago when I started laughing about it again: I accidentally knocked DS over with my bump yesterday. LO growth-spurted and I completely underestimated how large my bump was and knocked the little guy on his butt. I immediately apologized and he just looked at me confused and asked, "Why?" shaking his head back and forth. Then he laughed and gave me a hug. Oh dear.
1. I cannot believe it is only Tuesday. BLAH
2. Double BLAH to how cold it is L
3. I think I am seriously allergic to my office. Every day I feel fine, only to step into this place to have my nose start to tingle, eyes water. A few years ago we ripped out the carpet that caused major allergies for me. I wonder if I should report it to HR??
4. Upset that warnings around here seem arbitrary. Apparently you can call people twatwaffles and a$$es, but God forbid you call someone a White Knight.
5. Excited my Steelers are in the playoffs!!
6. I started cleaning out the guestroom this weekend for the nursery. It is so weird, knowing that will be our daughters room.
7. I have been eating since I got to work. At this rate, my snacks will be gone before lunch time
8. I don’t understand our insurance. DH had a hospital stay last year. The insurance covered a portion directly, and then sends him checks for a portion to send to the hospital. Why don’t they just do everything directly? Why a check for some of it? I asked him and he got defensive (I don’t think he gets it either). Any of you have this and can make some sense of it?
9. Still loving Harper Rose. Accidently slipped at work yesterday but I don’t think anyone picked it up.
10. Only a couple more days to a three day weekend!!!
@sarawifenow- the story about the dog and Cole literally made me AWWW at my desk
@laurenmdrn16- good luck. Fake it until you make it, you know!
@krands7- next time I am in Pittsburgh, I am totally looking you up!
1. It's Tuesday but feels like a Monday to me because I am in the office and I usually work from home on Tuesdays. Ugh.
2. House hunting is a little stressful for me. Houses are WAY more expensive here than where we use to live and the COL increase I got doesn't even touch the difference. We spent all day Sunday looking at houses.
3. DH is in love with one house we looked at and I like it too, but not the location.. and not how big it is. I LOVE another house we looked at, and he wasn't a big fan at all. We both like another house but it's more expensive and needs updating we wouldn't be able to do for a while.
4. After work the realtor is picking me up from our apartment and taking me to look at three more houses. I wanted to go when DH got home but she thinks going in the day would be better, so if I like any we will go back with DH when he gets off work. I am bummed because it sounds like I am going to end up missing the gym today.
5. I HATE missing the gym. Now I am trying to figure out how to still make it.. leave work early and go? Stay up later and go? Not go and be pissy because I missed the gym?
6. I have an avocado egg salad sandwich for lunch today and I can't wait for 12:30 to eat it! MMM
7. I secretly hope the realtor will take us out to dinner tonight but I know that won't happen. She can deduct it on her taxes though, so I don't see why she shouldn't! lol
8. Sunday night I was so tired. DH and I both went to bed at 9:00pm. I didn't fall asleep until after 12:00am. I was so mad.
No matter what position I laid in, it wasn't happening. I ended up falling asleep on my back, even though we aren't supposed to past 20 weeks.
9. I, too, admit that I was amused by the drama last night. We all need some excitement sometimes!
10. I think DH and I are going to have a hard time agreeing on a house and that makes me sad. The last house we bought we got in the location where I wanted to live. He hated it there. I don't want the same to happen this time, for either of us.
Me: 31
DH: 29, SA - Great
Married: June 12,2011
TTC #1: 1/2014
Diagnosis: Hypothalamic Amenorrhea
Treatment: Clomid: 50mg, 100mg, 150mg - not successful and not monitored
Menopur 75ml (upped to 112.5ml), Ovidrel, & IUI IUI #1 8/31/2015
9/15/2015: BFP HCG - 400, 9/17/2015: HCG - 827, 9/21/2015 - HCG 3,327!2. I've been sick in bed for 4 days too!! I second the notion of there needing to br drugs for pregos with the flu.
3. All I keep thinking is...how on earth would I take care of a baby if I have the flu? I have a ton of those thoughts...the "how is a baby going to fit into this scenario" thoughts.
4. I'm 24 weeks 2 days...seems like that happened super fast, but also like I've been prego forever.
5. My dog also fights with my baby for real estate...she loves to lay on me with her head on my belly and he immediately starts kicking her.
6. I can't watch Supernatural or Making a Murderer. Supernatural freaks me out too much, and I've already had the experience of sitting through an actual murder trial so now I cant stomach shows like that. I also used to be a huge Law & Order fan too, but no more.
7. I've been watching/dozing off to Property Virgins since moving from the bed to the couch and 830 this morning.
8. My dogs basically think I'm a SAHdogM now and they love it. They will be very disappointed when I force myself into work tomorrow. I was on vacation all last week so by this point it's going to take at least 3 days to get out of Email Jail once I get back to the office.
9. It's time for another futile dose of Tylenol.
10. I finished 4 books so far this year. Goodreads is quite proud of me, but this will all change once baby is here. I also made myself stick to fun books over my honeymoon & leave all baby related books at home.
11. A bonus: someone mentioned not wanting to wear a bathing suit & I just wanted to say that my maternity bathing suit was the most comfortable I've ever been in a bathing suit in my life. No need to feel self-conscious, there's clearly a baby on board!!
Edit for grammar
Feel better!
@kbrands7 why did I think you lived in MA? I got so confused when you were talking about having a snow day and the roads being awful. I am such a space case!
DS: Born 5-17-16
2. I know we still have a little while but I've been looking at outfits to take LO home in all morning.
3. I am not getting anything done today. I thought I knew how to fix something at work and now I can't find what I had found before.
4. I'm seriously contemplating taking a nap in the car during lunch.
5. The dog was super cute this morning. He was curled up in his blankets and bed and refused to get up bc he was warm.
6. I need more maternity jeans. I have 2 pairs now and with my laziness, laundry getting done is not a guarantee.
7. I'm seriously wanting some fruit right now. It doesn't help that I have an Edible Arrangements store less than 2 minutes walking from my office. I may or may not have hinted about that to DH since our anniversary is next month.
8. I just finished my lunch. I'm still hungry. I only have one snack left.
9. Thank goodness for headphones at work. People talk too much.
10. Last Disney trip before our passes expire this weekend! We aren't renewing this time until LO is a little older - possibly in time for her 1st birthday since we're planning a trip around that time anyway. $70 a month just doesn't make sense when I won't feel like going pretty much from nowish until baby gets here and then she'll be way too little to go.
2. I think this is probably because we leave for vacation next week! We are going to Montana for DH to ski and me to relax/get massages/shop a little. We are actually flying into Spokane and driving to Montana to help us hit three more states (WA, ID, MT) - that will put me at 40!
3. I'm excited for vacation, but why oh why does it have to be a mountain vacation? We are getting our first decent snowfall of the season and it's not really getting me pumped to go to the mountains for a week.
4. @kbrands7 I am in the western Pittsburgh suburbs and have been wanting to try Industry! DH and I will have to get over there sometime soon.
5. I am really excited with the progress we've made on baby's room, but am struggling to see if I am making things too girly due to my personal tastes (we are team green).
6. Our entire company is re-organizing. I am trying not to stress too much, but considering the worst case scenario is that DH and I both find out late April we don't have jobs, I am a bit nervous when I let my mind think of the what-if's.
7. We do have a solid budget in place and plan for things like this. We just need to update everything and look at options to consider if we were to lose job(s).
8. My mom is cleared to visit us in February and help me organize/decorate the nursery some! I was concerned of this because she is having ear surgery in a couple weeks and I was really hoping the doc would give her the green light to visit as planned.
9. My baby shower back in Texas is March 5th and I'm super excited. My MIL mentioned doing one in their town on the 6th while I am down for the weekend, but I haven't heard anything else on that.
10. I better get back to work! Though this was a nice break!
2. I'm flying to my mom's house to work from her home next week while my husband deals with the movers
3. I went on a maternity shopping binge last week. I got 5 or 6 new sweaters and shirts, two maternity tank tops to wear under the sweaters, two nice dresses, and a pair of boot cut jeans
4. Our financing is done on our house, and we're closing next week. We're also officially credit card debt free, which means next paycheck I get it is GAME ON for nursery furniture.
5. I've been feeling down about my job for the last few weeks, but I'm beginning to feel better about it. It does bring in a good income, and honestly, the things I don't like about it are typical work stress.
6. I was bummed to learn I have an anterior placenta at the A/S. They said it was really high, so hopefully when I do think I feel movement, I'm not crazy.
7. My friend gave me Jenny McCarthy's Belly Laughs, and despite me not liking her for the autism crap, it's a really funny book.
8. I'm taking on the nursery like I'm an interior designer. I have paint samples, furniture pins, wall paper samples, lighting inspiration, the works. Because we will be homeowners, this is the first time I get to express myself, and I cannot wait! I told my husband that the nursery is my domain, and he can't say a word. He's given me full responsibility.
9. My hair has gotten so long, and I have a hair appointment today. I can't decide if I want to go for a trim or just get 4 inches chopped off. It's just such a hassle to deal with since I can't have beautiful hair by letting it air dry. High-fives to my frizzy hair friends.
10. I ran today. Granted it was a very brief run on my very long walk, but one of my favorite old run songs came on (Kickstart My Heart), and I couldn't resist. It made me feel like my old self again. I really miss running.
2. I also went on a lil' maternity clothes shopping spree this weekend, I ordered from pink blush for the first time. Can't wait for the goods to arrive. Am I the only one who has no patience for shipping? I almost always choose 2-day shipping and pay when it would be otherwise free to ship, it drives my H crazy.
3. I played hookey yesterday and called in to work. Just realized that I gave myself two long weekends in a row! Woot.
4. I wish I had known that I wouldn't sleep through the night ever again as soon as I got KU so I could have appreciated it more. I definitely thought I had these 9 months to sleep long hours before the baby comes, ha! I'm waking up at least 3 times to pee and several more times to change positions.
5. My H is traveling to LA for work next month and I'm trying really hard not to show him that it is making me anxious. Luckily, my BIL is going to be our afternoon dog walker while he's gone which is a big help.
6. My OB told me it's time for us to select our pediatrician, so I'm just starting my research now. It's overwhelming!
7. We're supposed to get some flurries tonight and I'm excited.
8. I'm also excited for HDBD tomorrow. It's my fave!
9. Can't believe I'll be 25 weeks on Friday. When does the third tri start again? 27 weeks?
10. My latest craving is coffee ice cream and it is all bad. I want to eat all the coffee ice cream every day.
2. I'm supposed to go to NYC tomorrow for the day (I go every 2 weeks for work) and I've been so tired and crabby about work this past week I am hoping the wintry mix turns into a snowstorm and I don't actually have to go... fingers crossed!
3. I haven't really been experiencing any cravings, per se, but I had a milkshake Sunday and it was so delicious I want another so I'm counting that as my first craving
4. Seriously so angry about Pottery Barn's delivery service having a busy signal every time I call to schedule delivery of my crib (re: my TW Tues post). It's stressing me out big time.
5. MH just told me that he will be going on a business trip for two weeks in the middle of March. I know that's still a ways away from EDD but it stresses me out.
6. My BFF confirmed she's coming to my shower in March (she lives in Chicago and shower is in DC) and I'm SO EXCITED to see her, haven't seen her since May.
7. I drank a coffee from La Colombe this morning and I think it had a ton of caffeine because I'm still feeling jittery from it and I don't like it. Sorry, baby!
8. I found out that two other women in my office are pregnant and all I want to do is go into their offices and talk everything pregnancy/baby but I'm not friendly enough with them that that would seem normal... but I might anyway.
9. I just ordered some adorable baby clothes from Gilt and I am SO excited to get them
10. My brother is coming to visit this weekend. I love how tight he and MH are. Warms my heart.
2. I'm not shoveling this winter. I will do all next winter.
3. I've gained almost 10lb in 6 weeks! I still have too much chocolate in the house, and it's delicious.
4. Yesterday was our fetal echo (all good!) and anatomy scan (found an EIF on the heart). I was 20wk 2days gestation yesterday, and baby measured 20wk 4days - isn't that cool?
5. Now DH and I have to decide if we want to go back and do the genetic bloodwork. I have a call in to my OB office to get their perspective. I think we will get the bloodwork, but that's it. We'll see.
6. We aren't going to lose sleep over the EIF finding (soft marker for T 18 and T 21). We'll say a prayer and take a deep breath.
7. Speaking of sleep, I'm still waking at 4am every morning, but I'm feeling pretty rested overall.
8. My AWESOME neighbor had a beautiful baby boy 2weeks ago. She already gave me all of her maternity clothes. Saved me tons of money. She's one of those that doesn't look like she just had a baby
9. My sister lives 8 hrs away. She just got a puppy. She said she'd come visit with the puppy - I would LOVE that. Do I want to fight this battle with DH who is not a dog person AND a neat freak??
10. Oops just got chocolate on my shirt (well, my neighbor's old shirt!).
