I have 10 today, but you can share as many or as little as you like.

1. Storm Jonas hit us hard. We got 33inches of snow where I live (in a 24hr period). It was crazy.
2. I tried to take DD out while it was snowing on Saturday and she wasn't having it. Sunday, however, we had a blast!
3. I shoveled for about an hour on Sunday and it feels like I broke my back, haha.
4. I'm currently working out on the stationary bike. It's been just under an hour and I'm sweating buckets. Sweat glands are in over drive.
5. H and I finally got a settlement date for our new house! I cannot wait to get out of here!!
6. I had a Chiro appt yesterday and she released (somehow) one of my round ligaments. It felt amazing.
7. I've realized that blizzards aren't good for my health. I've eaten ALL of the comfort foods and then some.
8. I still haven't bought a single thing for baby #2.
9. Is that weird? I figure I have all of the major necessities left over from DD.
10. I'm thinking about breakfast. I wish I had a waffle iron to make some homemade waffles. Mmmm

Happy Tuesday!

Edited for clarification.

Re: TTT

  • @Jenly17 I've only bought a new pack of bibs and some diapers for baby #3...I bought the same for #2. That'll be the extent of it prolly. Oh except a dresser lol

    1. Kids already lost the tv for the day...and now I can hear how windy it is...awesome because wind scares me.
    2. Ds2 has rug burn from his "hopping" he does instead of crawling... hoping one of these creams works on it so we don't need a prescription...it's getting pretty bad.
    3. My computer was really behind on updates...took all night but it's caught up now.
    4. DS1 stayed with the inlaws last night because I just didn't have the heart to wakeep him up...I now regret that decision since I don't want to leave my house today :/
    5. Potty training...hoping to work on that this week. I think my motivation for it has just disappeared. But when ds1 comes up to me and asks to have his diaper changed, it's just time for the potty.
    6. Speaking of the potty...someone clogged ours up majorly at the wrestling ppv Sunday night...of course I discovered it...bleck. I mean we're all adults there...just ask for a plunger guys.
    7. Ds2 has started this new thing...he backs up to the wall and bangs his head against it...idk why he thinks that's a good idea.
    8. I haven't had permission to type about half of these.
    9. My kids stole my favorite blanket.
    10. I have a headache. Hope it goes away...I hate tylenol.

  • @Jenly17 I am going to blame this blizzard on me eating more than my useful fill of sweets too. We got around that much snow too! It's insane. My office was closed yesterday and today but since I can work from home, I still have to work. Ugh. It snowed here from Friday at 2:00pm to early Sunday morning. I hate snow!

    Also, waffles sound good right now.

    @jessiedee13 Ugh. I would have been so mad if someone didn't unclog their own mess. That's disgusting! I hope your headache goes away.

  • 1. Aqua Zumba class was a little intense last night, I got a foot cramp
    2. Speaking of cramps, I got a calf cramp last week and it still hurts
    3. I want to but ask the baby things, but my mom told me I can't buy anything more until after the shower... In April
    4. Thanks to my coworker I have this stuck in my head (nationwide jingle) "I just kicked Tom bradys ass"
    5. I get to go to a conference tomorrow, yay out of the office!
    6. I started using coconut oil, I smell like a coconut and I'm not sure how I feel about it
    7. We saw the revenant and it was super well done and I loved it, but it's definitely not a feel good movie
    8. It snowed last night!
    9. DH is the best, he woke up early to snow blow the driveway
    10. It is soooooo pretty outside! But I can't figure out how to post a picture
  • @AdorkablePixie I called themy out on it. I came back downstairs and said "you guys do know we have a plunger, right?" And all of them looked embarrassed. Those friends of my dh...weirdos I tell you.
  • @TXmamatobe I wish I liked the taste of the drink! I have really bad luck with it. I'm one of those people that no matter what, can't pass the 1 hour test, and I'm high risk for developing gd since diabetes runs in my family. I've taken the 1 hour test 5 times and failed it all 5. I've passed the 3 hour every single time though. That alot of that drink I've had...and it always makes me nauseous...just the smell is enough for me to gag lol
  • @TXmamatobe I used to exfoliate all the time, especially with my clarisonic, but this pregnancy is giving me the most sensitive skin ever. I really miss it!
    1. DH was off work yesterday, and he finished painting the nursery and hanging our wainscoting.  He also picked up our furniture that came in, but we haven't taken it all out of the boxes yet. I can't wait to see it!
    2. I actually like this "cold" weather (50s and 60s) we've been having this week because I got to wear my new winter coat!
    3. I haven't started on my taxes yet because my home office is in the process of being converted into the nursery and all my important papers are currently stacked in boxes in my guest room.  I should have thought that through better. 
    4. Our first baby shower is in 3 weeks, and I still haven't found anything to wear. Since I still haven't found a dress I like at my local stores and will probably have to order it, I need to get on that if I want it to be here in time!
    5. The yogurt, fruit, and granola bar at the cafeteria at my office is awesome!  That's all I could think about on my drive in to work this morning!
    6. The coffee bar at work was out of stir sticks this morning, but someone had left an unopened package of disposable chop sticks on the counter. Score!
    7. There is this really strange, socially awkward woman in another department who has a new habit of randomly stopping by my office to chat (about her pets, ex-boyfriend, cousin's girlfriend's child, other random s*&!t I don't care about) all the time. Lately, I close my door and pretend I'm on the phone when I see her coming.  Out of an office with 600+ people, I don't know why she chose me!  I know she's just lonely and doesn't have much of a life outside of work, so I can't bring myself to be mean and just tell her to go away.  Ugh!  
    8. I got a call this morning from the body shop that has my car (that I'd only had for a month and was damaged when that idiot rear ended me 2 weeks ago) to say they had to order some parts and it was going to be next Monday before it's ready. That means another week in the rental car, which isn't as nice as mine. This sucks! 
    9. I got the unofficial tour of the L&D department at my hospital a couple of weeks ago when I was there after my car accident (see #8), but I didn't get to see the birthing unit or family suites while I was there.  I need to make any appointment.  Has anyone else toured their hospital/birthing center yet?    
    10. I called the the pediatrician recommended by several friends yesterday to set up an appointment for a tour, and they aren't taking new patients right now. They said I could check back closer to May and they might have an opening, but I'm afraid to wait that long.  I was really bummed, but they gave me a referral to another office in town.  I need to call them this week to see if they can get us in. 
  • @swflJD I didn't tour my hospital until later with my first. My drs office holds a birthing class every month and the class ends with a tour of the birthing place. I took the class at the end of July and my edd was Aug 20.
  • 1. I have actually had parents call and say that their students are "very upset" about the Patriot's loss and to call them if they "can't make it through the day" and need to be dismissed. This has happened both yesterday and today. Are you kidding me?!

    2. Everybody has been up my butt at work about stupid stuff. Umm, do you guys not realize that all the kids went home in one piece? If no one died, I did my job, end of story. Ugh.

    3. The only thing keeping me going is that the parents LOVE me! I text one mom how her diabetic son is doing throughout the day and she always sends me stuff like "You are just the best!" and "I am so glad you are taking care of my baby!". I have other parents that I will call to "check in" but mostly because I need to know that someone appreciates me! It does make me nervous about telling everyone I am peacing out in April...

    4. I left my Fitbit on the charger all day yesterday and now feel like a schlub because I am last in my friend's ranking for the week. All those steps yesterday were for nothing!

    5. I am kinda hanging in limbo because my BFF is doing the devotion at the Parish Council Meeting on Wednesday and she wanted us to sing our "For Good" duet for it, but hasn't confirmed if it is happening. I think MH is working tomorrow night so I guess I will be bringing my son to the meeting? Eh, we'll see...

    6. I can't wait for the dress I ordered to get here! It is a beautiful red wrap dress and I feel like it is going to look awesome on me. Of course, I forgot that my body is all wonky so I honestly have no idea how something I bought online will fit.

    7. Last night, I aggressively disliked MH for no reason. He came home and I just couldn't stand the sight of him. He had to do a few runs to the airport for work so I didn't fight it when my son wanted to sleep with me, but that meant there really wasn't any room for MH. Oh well, he could sleep on the couch. I have no idea why I am being such a b*tch to him!

    8. I still made a delicious broiled filet mignon dinner for MH...which he ate with his hands before running out the door. Maybe that's why I was upset. Who knows?

    9. I keep thinking some magical elves are going to clean up the house while I am sleeping. It hasn't happened yet, but I am not ready to give up hope. It would be totally insulting to those elves if I cleaned it myself, right? That's what I am telling myself.

    10. Sooooooooooo tired. Is it Friday yet?

  • 1. My cousin had her first baby yesterday (my babe will be little cousin #4 born within 8 months on my mom's side of the family). Everyone thought it was going to be a huge baby because the dad is 6'8" and over 300 pounds and my cousin is almost 6' tall and and got a pretty big belly during her pregnancy. The baby weighed exactly 6 pounds. Little guy :)

    2. I just recently started experiencing frequent urination. I'm getting my 30 minutes of walking a day in by walking to and from the bathroom. 

    3. A lady at work that I vaguely know (she works in a different department) came up to me yesterday and said, "I really hope you're having a girl." Um, seriously, what effect does the gender of my baby have on your life?

    4. DH and I have decided to host a Super Bowl party. We're inviting 2 different friend groups (his coworkers + our Bible study group), so I'm hoping it goes well without any awkwardness.

    5. We're going on a date night with several friends to do an Escape Room this weekend. I'm really excited about it. 

    6. I am SO HUNGRY every day from around 7 am until after I eat lunch, no matter how much I eat.

  • 1. Taxes suck. Met with our accountant today and we owe large amounts of taxes (company). Joy.
    2. We saw the Revenant this past weekend - I would give it 7 out of 10.
    3. Going to see Hateful Eight this weekend - looking forward to it!
    4. Baby boy loves music.
    5. My mum is working her last day at this big corporate she's been working at for 30 years. Shame, poor mum is taking it hard BUT she is starting her own bakery (more so to keep busy) and she has her first big job next week - without even advertising. Her cakes are amazing!
    6. Had a great meeting yesterday with some of our clients - it's going to be a busy busy year for us - but that's good.
    7. We have a first birthday party this weekend - at a park. Looking forward.
    8. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is currently on our series watching list.
    9. 16 weeks until Baby is due :)
    10. Going to cook dinner now - have a great Tuesday ladies!
  • 1. I'm currently eating chocolate raspberry light and fit greek yogurt.

    2. I am obsessed with greek yogurt while pregnant apparently. I used to only eat the great value brand regular yogurt. I got greek yogurt one day because it was on sale and ate it with berries and cool whip, ever since then I have it almost every day for breakfast.

    3. I am so cold. I have to take my car to get an estimate today from when it was hit in the parking lot at work. Before I got dressed I stuck all of my clothes in the dryer to warm them up.

    4. I wish the snow would melt and the icy sidewalks and roads would go away.

    5. I really hate winter. I should have been born in Hawaii, California, or Florida. For real.

    6. I'm back from the estimate and apparently the damage doesn't exceed my deductible ($250) and it took him 25 minutes to tell me this. Ugh. I already know the body shop will not agree with their estimate.

    7. I am hungry but have an hour until I usually eat lunch!

    8. I am annoyed. I hope the gym after work puts me in a  better mood.

    9. I hope there aren't a bunch of people at the gym when I go. Yesterday there were three annoying teenagers in there listening to music on a speaker (which you aren't supposed to do.. RUDE). And I use the term music loosely here.

    10. I want popcorn shrimp, french fries, and fried pickles. Anyone else have a Joe's Crab Shack near them? $2 Tuesdays!

  • @AdorkablePixie I decided to be adult and come to work. Now I'm desperately hoping they close early because I don't want my teens driving in the dark with icy roads. If we don't close early hopefully they'll at least let me cancel my program (Then I'm taking leave and going home early) 

    I will say I'm a little irritated they opened as there isn't even enough parking for all the staff at the moment since they didn't plow the street parking. They got up to the street before ours and just stopped. 
  • 1. I didn't have to work until 11 this morning, so I got up at 630, took care of my animals and then napped until 930.  It was awesome.  That means I didn't get any housework done before work...and I don't care.
    2. We're closing on our refinance with the VA on Friday, and they still have yet to provide us with the final closing cost amount.  Yeah...if you'd like the money you really need to tell me how much to get the check for...
    3. I'll be very happy to be done with the refinance because I greatly dislike our mortgage processor.  She is completely disorganized, has asked us for the same materials multiple times and needs to be reminded that she already has them, and has delayed this process multiple times.  I'm really hoping that someone sends me a feedback survey once it's all said and done.
    4. Yesterday I was on the 3rd trimester board reading a hilarious thread where the OP was saying, "shame, you vile women, shame on you!" because she didn't like what they had to say.  I was having a total Family Guy moment and tried to comment as such...but then TB admin shut down the board.  Probably just as well.
    5. Also on the 3rd Tri board, I was pissed off at a poster who was looking for "fun" ways to induce herself at 37 weeks because she was tired of being pregnant.  My friend's sister in law actually did this - was tired of being pregnant so she intentionally put herself in a position where her baby failed a stress test and they had to do a CS at 37 weeks.  This makes me so incredibly angry.
    6. My work motivation is still low.  I don't know if it's due to the time of year (typically slow) or if it's because I know maternity leave is looming and I want to move on to that part of my life.
    7. My husband has been a rock star lately with getting shit done, working a million hours on top of it, and overall in general being awesome.
    8. I did tell my husband that sometimes I feel like he doesn't want to hear what the baby is doing, because he doesn't really react when I tell him that he's active.  He said that he likes to hear it, he just doesn't have anything at all to say about it since he has no idea what it's like, so he just listens.  Makes sense.  
    9. After the Pats lost this weekend he did grab my stomach and say "Don't worry baby, there's always next year!!" which I thought was cute.
    10. I'm a Patriots fan, but my fellow Patriots fans are annoying the crap out of me.  They played badly!!  Teams lose when they play badly!!  It happens!!  OMFG and I saw someone tweet the kicker who missed the extra point that they hoped his kids all died and he had to watch.  WTF is wrong with you people????  Seriously, in what world is that type of thing ok???
  • @TXmamatobe what product do you use as a lip exfoliater? I'm having so much trouble finding one I like, and I've made my own and don't like those either.

  • 1. I got a Sonic sweet tea today so I'm pretty happy.
    2. We painted an accent wall in the nursery this weekend and the painter's tape sucked. Have to go back and repaint the edges. Womp, Womp.
    3. Crib came in yesterday - my husband is going to put it together Friday.
    4. I have a work recruiting event tonight at the university, and I'm dreading it. I just want to go home and see my doggies.
    5. Weighed myself this morning - not where I want to be, but I know it is my poor diet (sweet tea, etc.)
    6. I know everyone says Maternity Leave isn't vacation, and I get it. No sleep, constant attention for the baby. BUT I CANNOT WAIT FOR A BREAK!
    7. My husband's work restructured their vacation time so he is going to get 2 weeks paternity and then use another 1-2 weeks vacation. I'm so excited for time for our family.
    8. Presented my flex proposal to my boss last week, and I should hear back next week.
    9. Going to put a deposit on daycare this week. Makes me sad I won't be with my child everyday.
    10. Seriously thinking about hiring someone to come over and play with my dogs during the days. It kills me them being lonely while we are at work.

    Honestly?? :p My favorite way is to keep a separate toothbrush (soft bristle) for lips only. I put some coconut oil or Vaseline on it and literally brush my lips, then wipe it off with a warm wash cloth. I swear by it. I also like a product called The Kiss made by Lush Cosmetics. I'm a lip exfoliant addict.

    I'm a die hard Pats fan and Gostkowski made 524 consecutive PATs. He hadn't missed one since 2006. How about our O-line play a little better to give your QB more time in the pocket to develop a pass play?

    There is always next year, but come on people... it's a game. Let's enjoy it for what it's worth. And go Panthers!
  • 1. My daughter had her first speech therapy appointment today!  She's part of the Early Intervention Program, so the therapists come to our home.  It's awesome.
    2. I occasionally read the birth stories from our local birth center.  I love them!  They always mention a cheese omelet during recovery - guess what I had for dinner last night?
    3. I'm not sure if it's going to rain or snow tonight.
    4. I have cervical length USs every 2 weeks.  Yesterday, the cervix was still good, and the tech got such great pictures of the little one!
    5.  Our last cervical length is in 2 weeks, at 24 weeks!  Getting there.
    6. I gained 7lbs in 4 weeks, and my OB didn't even mention it.  He was more concerned that my chart didn't have a "social" note; he wanted to know my husband's and our daughters' first names :)
    7. Anybody else notice that their Blood Pressure is all over the place?  I'm anywhere from 90/60 to 130/80.  Strange.
    8.  I have a thing for even numbers.  I couldn't stop at 7 TTT, and I hope this little one is born on an even day. Odd months (like May - 5) are ok.

    9. After the Pats lost this weekend he did grab my stomach and say "Don't worry baby, there's always next year!!" which I thought was cute.
    10. I'm a Patriots fan, but my fellow Patriots fans are annoying the crap out of me.  They played badly!!  Teams lose when they play badly!!  It happens!!  OMFG and I saw someone tweet the kicker who missed the extra point that they hoped his kids all died and he had to watch.  WTF is wrong with you people????  Seriously, in what world is that type of thing ok???
    I am a super Pats fan (as is MH) and we were at a very dear friend's house for the game. The poor guy had just had surgery to reattach his retina so his wife wanted me there to take a look at it and to try to keep him calm so he didn't bust his other eye. Not an easy game to stay calm for! It was quite a task to keep either man from blowing their tops, especially when one couldn't drink! But I did my nurse-ly duties and they both will live to see another season.

    But I agree, the Pats fans I see on FB and social media are just ruthless and a total embarrassment. And people wonder why everyone hates Pats fans! I went into the game anticipating that it was going to come down to the officiating (what with Ed Hockelly loving getting cheers from the home-town crowd), but I will admit the Pats did not play well at all. They missed so many opportunities that to say it came down to one point after kick is ridiculous! You can't blame the entire outcome on Gostowski when they decided to receive after winning the coin flip (Seriously?! Who does that, especially in Denver?!), Brady threw absolute hams, and the offensive line let him get sacked a billion times. The defense was decent, but the number of interceptions and sacks was so uncharacteristic and disappointing. I can totally forgive a missed kick, but I can't forgive the dozens of messed up offensive plays. Still, I'm not going to be sending out death threats to Brady. It is just a game after all.

    I'm a die hard Pats fan and Gostkowski made 524 consecutive PATs. He hadn't missed one since 2006. How about our O-line play a little better to give your QB more time in the pocket to develop a pass play?

    There is always next year, but come on people... it's a game. Let's enjoy it for what it's worth. And go Panthers!
    EXACTLY.
  • 1. I've been extremely congested for 3 or 4 days. I really wish I could take NyQuil or some other hard core cold meds.
    2. I didn't go to work today because of said cold. Instead I took a Benadryl last night and slept for 11 hours. It felt so good.
    3. I also slept with Vicks on my feet and socks. First time trying it.
    4. We moved last weekend and our home is a HOT MESS. Part of me wants to clean it up but I'm still not feeling the best so I've been cat snuggling instead.
    5. I'm so excited to start finally setting up LOs nursery.
    6. Our new place has a fireplace and I have no clue how I'm going to eventually childproof that area.
    7. Friends of ours came over Sunday night to help move some furniture and made fun of some of my decorating. Said I'm obviously a FTM because I have a buffet cabinet with glassware on lower shelves. Guess I need to rethink things with a baby brain.
    8. Daytime TV sucks
    9. I've almost finished a whole box of cereal today. I stopped because I think there's only about one bowl left.
    10. My belly button isn't going to last too much longer. I give it two more weeks until I expect it to pop out.

    Mine too! It's another thing that is amusing me. Honestly I also having really thought of what we need to chance child proofing wise. I'm still focused on trying to find everything that the dogs keep getting into- they help with the process I think. 
  • 1. Had an appointment today and went over lots of stuff. Glucose test next appointment, rhogam next appointment, and today we set up our classes which start Feb. 17th.
    2. Speaking of appointment, I gained 7 lbs instead of the 4 I was 'supposed' to since my last. Oops. Nothing was said though so yay.
    3. We toured our daycare choices today. The one we thought would be our favorite (it did end up being our favorite) and that we thought would end up being most expensive ended up being the cheapest of them all and they actually have an opening for our timeframe. Making our deposit soon. :)
    4. Nursery finally almost all cleared out. Painting in the next few weeks or so and as soon as taxes are done we'all be buying the floor and having that put in.
    5. Took the whole day off bc of my appointment and our tours and we ended up finishing way earlier than expected so nap time!
    6. Starting to get tired earlier in the day now. I love me some sleep.
    7. Our first piece of nursery furniture should be here in a few days. My pretty rocker that I'm super excited to get.
    8. Time is going so slow now. I feel like the first part of the pregnancy went so fast. Now it's like it's going backwards.
    9. Clementine oranges are apparently my new thing. I keep eating them one after the other.
    10. Cookies are also now a thing. I was never really a sweets person before and now I can't get enough.
  • 1. I had been starving toward the end of my 12:00 meeting so I ran to the food court for lunch and got a Chik Fil A sandwich and a chocolate milkshake.
    2. It tasted incredible but now I feel sick as a dog.
    3. This is the second day in a row I've overdone it on sweets and I'm starting to feel guilty.
    4. Yesterday I got a box of Samoas and borderline binge ate them... whoops.
    5. This doesn't bode well for my glucose screening on Monday. I better shape up the rest of the week.
    6. I think baby boy is having a growth spurt because I've been absolutely exhausted and hungrier and I can feel kicks up near my ribs (25 weeks).
    7. I also think it's causing more heartburn/reflux... last night I tried propping myself up into almost a sitting position in bed using pillows but I kept waking up since sitting up all night isn't the most comfortable.
    8. I'm starting to freak out about child care. We have an appointment to visit a daycare Friday and I'm trying to find nannies to interview too.
    9. We still have a ton of snow on the ground and my office didn't even acknowledge the blizzard with so much as an email Friday or Monday (4th largest snow-fall in Philadelphia history!). At the VERY least they could have sent something advising people to take care in their commutes or allowing people to work from home if they couldn't safely get in on Monday. I know of multiple people who fell on their way in yesterday.
    10. I'm also feeling unmotivated at work and really looking forward to being home with the baby in a few months.
  • 1. It's the change of the semester at work, which is always really busy.
    2. I didn't get to do my usual early morning weekend grocery run this week. I'm in a long line at the store now.
    3. I scheduled a first appointment with a Webster certified chiropractor. I'm hoping that it'll help this LO to turn while he still has room, and to keep my hips and back in better shape as I go through the third tri.
    4. The redesign of DS's room into a shared room is going well. I'm making mostly small surface changes and major organization changes, but it's still exciting. The new area rug came in yesterday. :smile:
    5. I am tired today, so I'm going to stick with 5!
  • 1. I popped the zipper on my largest/warmest winter coat at the dog park over the weekend and had to order a new one. I ended up getting a regular coat in XL instead of a maternity coat because I plan to wear it for many more winters. It arrived yesterday and it's great having something that fits over the bump, it's comically large but I'm still committed to it. H just laughed and predicted this will be the one and only winter I wear it.
    2. I forgot how hard the NYC winter is on my dogs' feet after it snows. Between the cold snow/ice and the salt I ended up carrying my little one home on several walks over the weekend. They cry and hold their paws up, it is so sad! I've got to get them both some good booties this week.
    3. I've got my glucose test on Thursday. I'm looking forward to getting it over with. I'm very curious how I did with weight gain since my last appt, I'm only supposed to have gained 2-3 lbs.
    4. We've also got our hospital class on Thursday. We'll learn all about what to expect there for labor and delivery and write up our birth plans. They don't do tours any more because of privacy issues, but I guess they'll show us a video so we'll know where to go. Excited! @Bltbear82 Did you do Ready! Set! Baby! at NYU with your first?
    5. I'm anxious about my H's work trip coming up in February. He'll only be gone for a week but that's a lot of dog care for a lady in her 3rd trimester. Luckily I can work from home that week to make things easier.
    6. Can't believe I'm less than 2 weeks away from my 3rd trimester! (I'll be 27 weeks on Friday)
    7. My mom is sending out our shower invites this week, yay!
    8. I'm happy that The Fosters is back. It's cheesy but I love that show.
    9. I think FreeForm is a stupid name and don't get why ABCFamily changed it.
    10. I need to stop buying baby clothes like, yesterday.
  • 1.currently on the treadmill and I'm going to try and not fall on my face.

    2.My snoogle came today in the mail!!! I am pumped to try it. I just got a body pillow yesterday while I was waiting for the snoogle to come in (didn't think it would come so fast) even the body pillow gave me a great nihhts sleep!

    3. Tmi but is it weird I get excited when I have to do #2 these days and I actually go. I feel so successful.
    4. My DH said he may be able to install our new kitchen cabinets at the end of the weekand I'm freaken excited..we are remodeling the entire kitchen. He builds them for a living. We tore the old ones out in the end of september and I'm ready for it to be done.
    5. Saw my tummy move when baby kicked last night♡♥
    6. I need to back off on sweets.
    7. I have no earthly idea how I'm gonna work up until due date.
    8. I want to wear my flipflops soo bad again.
    9. I have a pike of dishes I should do. My cereal eatting habit leaves me with no spoons or bowls in the morning.
    10. I just clogged my toilet ugh....
  • 1. I finally caved in and bought my first pair of maternity pants today. I was surprised at how cheap they were... which is not altogether a good thing, since it definitely seems like I'll be getting what I paid for, quality-wise, but then again I only need them to hold up for a few months (which is probably what everybody thinks, which is probably why Ultra Cheap Cheapie Pants were the only version Macy's had in stock).
    2. Been tempted to go on another perfume-buying splurge lately. To give you some idea of just how stupid this is, I already have a perfume sample collection in the multiple hundreds (these are little bitty sample vials, most of them 1ml, i.e., the size you get as a free sample at Sephora), and I have an embarrassingly long line of full bottles on my bedroom shelf, aaand... I only ever wear two fragrances. Two. That's it.
    3. If anybody wants to take any of these fragrances off my hands, all the ones I don't wear are free to good homes. I'm serious. That's a standing offer to the world. You want them, they're yours.
    4. Really looking forward to going out to dinner in a giant stompy pair of rain boots because the streets are still a slushfest after the weekend's blizzard.
    5. I should probably go do work now, so five things'll do me for this week.
  • 3. Tmi but is it weird I get excited when I have to do #2 these days and I actually go. I feel so successful.

    10. I just clogged my toilet ugh....

    You are niether weird nor alone. I too feel accomplished any day I poo and today's success clogged our toilet.
