TTT 3/1

At this point in pregnancy...it is fully acceptable to make the entire list of ten things a bitchfest. 
Re: TTT 3/1
1. I feel like crap today.
2. I have an IEP meeting today that I am not looking forward to. The dad can be inappropriate towards women (ie…too friendly), and he doesn’t want his daughter going to the middle school next year.
3. I am so excited to watch Fuller House, but have decided to save it for maternity leave. I hope I can hold out that long.
4. Seriously….if my nipples get any bigger, they will need their own zip codes.
5. Our K-Mart is going out of business. Everything in the store is 40-75% off…EXCEPT their baby stuff.
6. DH is coaching rec soccer again this season. They are releasing game schedules today. I mentioned that there was probably a game scheduled on the Saturday that DD has a travel dance recital, which has been planned and on the calendar since August. AND it’s 4 days before my due date. I mentioned maybe considering rescheduling. He flat out said he wasn’t going to. We are not speaking at the moment.
7. I should probably have stayed home today, I am not in the mood to deal with people.
8. The cafeteria sent our lactose intolerant kids Heavy Whipping Cream today instead of Lactaid. They are super smart.
9. I really enjoy sharing Dr. Seuss with my students. It’s a lot of fun.
10. The rain is supposed to come back in tonight. FML.
2. Lost is on Netflix. I forgot how good the first season is!
3. My shower was this weekend and it was absolutely LOVELY.
4. I'm a groomsman in one of my best friends' weddings and his bachelor party is this Friday and I'm pretty sure I can't go
5. I'm not supposed to go anywhere/drive but I have to vote today; I've never missed an election! I'm going to call the doctor and beg to be allowed to be carted out to the polls.
6. At least bedrest gives me time to do my thank-you notes!
7. My grandparents paid off my next six months of student loan payments as a baby gift and I'm so happy about it.
8. It's not even 9 am and I'm all caught up on the internet. It's going to be a long week!
9. I'm going to buy something nice for our mail carrier to thank him for the MASSIVE number of packages he's had to cart to our house the last month... Poor guy is 84 years old and I feel real bad about that travel system package.
10. FORTY DAYS TO MY DUE DATE. SO CLOSE.
2: I woke up SEVERAL times last night with cramping that's reminiscent of my period. Nothing so far that I've gotten up for the day...
3: My brother really did an awesome job on the kitchen yesterday, and even pulled out the fridge and oven and cleaned behind them for me. Then he proceeded to ask if he could move in after he graduates, even if it means living in our attic with a sleeping bag. (I guess things are bad enough at my parent's house that the favorite is trying to flee now)
4: I'm going to get a massage today, which I desperately need at this point.
5: I cancelled my Dr's appointment on Thursday, and rescheduled it for Wednesday of next week. I'm relieved I don't have to do another stupid stress test with the clicker this week.
6: What happens if I go into labor and haven't had the GBS test done?
7: I think the dryer is broken. I can't WAIT to call the landlord about that.
8: I can't stand morning people. Why am I marrying one?
9: I'm so glad I didn't go into labor yesterday, even though my bestie would have loved that.
10: She is coming up to visit either tomorrow or Friday, so I'm really excited about that!
2. I'm seriously debating trying to fit in my 5 days of vacation before the end of the month, but considering I hope to be training someone in the next few weeks, it probably won't happen...maybe half-days?
3. I really really really hate payroll days.
4. I'm glad Super Tuesday will be over after today because I'm so freaking sick of this election cycle already. I've got very strong opinions on how I would like for this to go, but let's just say that if Trump sweeps today's caucuses, I might throat punch someone.
5. DH and I are on my parent's phone plan (it saved us about $100/month by just paying our portion of the bill, instead of getting a new account). My sister keeps trying to snake my phone upgrade that is coming up at the end of the month. I think I've convinced her to just buy out my mom's phone so she can qualify for *that* upgrade, instead of mine.
6. I swear, if I keep having to pee every 8 minutes, I'm going to cry.
7. I'm so excited that DH is getting more clients at work (real estate agent), but then realized that that means that he's got meetings at random times during the day, and ends up working later, usually into dinner time. I really want to spend more time with him before LO get's here, but we need money so...catch 22 I guess?
8. I feel like my doctors appointments are going to start taking longer. As in, I feel like while I'm working, my doctor's appointments are going to take like 2 hours instead of 1. I'm so done and just want to sleep all day instead of going into work.
9. I'm slowly digging out the nursery, and really want to get it done. I have this irrational fear that LO is gonna come way too soon and we aren't gonna have it finished.
10. 40 days left! (hopefully!)
Edit: words are hard
2. Baby is moving so much it hurts. It's like he's literally trying to escape! I can feel his little feet, legs, arms, etc rolling around and pressing outward. Not to mention major lighting croch!!
3. Nipples decided to surprise me with major leakage the other night. I only have a few disposable pads and my reusable ones should be here soon...yay to stuffing my bra with tissue.
4. Just saw that someone bought us NB diapers... Um how did those get on the registry? I didn't do that. We have plenty already...I guess we'll have to exchange/return
5. Kinda disappointed in myself for not really gaining weight the past two weeks. I hope it's just me and not baby. We'll see how he's doing Thursday. Doc and nurse ask me if I eat....um yeah all the time!
6. @klingonpixie I agree with the bedrest comments. Yeah super boring and no I don't feel lucky. I would rather be up doing something and knowing that baby is ok.
7. Counting down the days of boredom till 34 wks....then to be followed by more but hopefully less stressful count down
8. DH meal prepped for me for the week. All chicken grilled the same way lol (he tries). Now I just need to come up with different ways to eat it.
9. This week will be like Christmas for us (or early bday for me). Everything we ordered online arrives throughout this week. Super excited!!!
10. Looking forward to some friends and MIL visiting this weekend. Yay human interaction!
2. Pretty sure Elliott dropped over the weekend because I can actually breath now. Unfortunately my hips and pevis hurt like crazy, starting from when I wake up until I'm asleep again.
3. DD wants nothing to do with diapers anymore! She hates them and will only wear underwear now. But she still has accidents. How do I get passed this?
4. So my boots, I've been wearing this whole pregnancy, broke
5. Went to BRU yesterday for their trade in sale. Got DD a new carseat for both cars and a double stroller. I'm so excited to use the double stroller after LO gets here!!
6. DD decided to break ALL of my picture frames on the tv stand. I want to cry because now I have to go get new frames.
7. I'm hungry. All. Of. The. Time!
8. Really ready to see my doctor on Friday. I've been having some serious cramps and Braxton Hicks the last few days but they are inconsistent so I havent called. Just kinda concerned since I'm only going to be 34 weeks on Friday.
9. My mom set up a wax appointment for me and I'm super ready. I haven't been since December and my eyebrows are getting out of hand!
10. DH really wants to get a dog and I feel like a bad person for telling him no
2. I slept horribly last night and DD is at daycare, so I am still in bed.
3. I'm glad to have one more day to mentally cope before talking to my boss about my sub situation.
4. I spent most of yesterday crying about it. I need to practice what I want to say so that I don't say what I really think/feel, because there are enough swear words in my thoughts that I might get fired.
5. If I go into labor early and they are stuck without a sub... oh well, it's their own fault.
6. Found out today that there are squirrels living in my attic... joy.
7. After reading about it on here, I had a bad charlie horse last night in the middle of the night. My muscle is still sore.
8. I keep forgetting to take my prenatal.
9. I think I will wash newborn clothes this weekend... I guess I'm going to hang them all up cause DD is still using the dresser.
10. Besides the work stuff, which is stressing me out to the max, I feel very zen about prepping for this baby. Yes, I would like to have DD's big girl room ready and the nursery in full nursery mode again, but if that doesn't happen before baby arrives, nbd, we have everything we need.
1. “Almost there!”? “Getting close!”? “Not much longer now!”? Hell no, I’ve got nearly 2 months. THAT IS NOT GETTING CLOSE, AND TRUST ME TIME IS NOT FLYING.
2. 38 working days until my due date; could be a little shorter or a little longer, but I think I can make it.
3. I would really like to just go home and watch TV and knit right now. Or maybe nap. Possibly all three.
4. I just spilled Frosted Flakes all over my office floor, then accidentally rolled over them and ground them into the carpet when I tried to scoot back to pick them up. It’s a good thing our custodian is so sweet, because I’m a freaking mess.
5. Baby shower is this weekend. A little nervous because I’m kind of a homebody and don’t really like to be the center of attention, but it’ll be really awesome to see all our families.
6. Husband got a new shoulder exercise to do from the doctor yesterday. Watching his face contort when he tries to do it makes me want to cry. Poor guy.
7. This is the second giant winter storm in a row that has (allegedly) hammered the area, to the point where relatives have called and texted to make sure we’re okay. Um, I can still see the grass outside. I think we're doing fine.
8. Nearly lost my temper at the CVS cashier yesterday; the chip in my card is broken, and can’t be read. Frustrating, but after it fails three times in a row you can use the mag stripe (this particular CVS refuses to enter card numbers manually). Easy peasy, and should only take an extra 10-20 seconds at most (at least, that’s how long it takes me in the self-checkout lane). Moron at the register, though, would see the chip malfunction once, and hit the cancel button… resetting the whole thing. It took FIVE FREAKING MINUTES of me begging her not to hit the cancel button and then finally telling her to put the items back and that I would no longer be shopping at CVS for someone else to finally come over and show her how it was done. She finally suggested ever-so-helpfully that I should order a new card. I did, dummy, and it’s in the mail, but how exactly do you suggest I pay for groceries and shampoo and tissues and TP in the meanwhile?
9. Friend at work is doing a bodybuilding competition, and has entered the cutting phase… which means the only thing she’ll talk about for the next 2.5 months is her supplements, her food, and how miserable and hungry she is. Well no shit, Sherlock; you’re starving yourself. Eat more than 1200 calories a day to support your extreme exercise habits and you’ll be FINE. Don’t ask the pregnant lady for sympathy; you’re doing this to yourself.
10. Pregnancy hurts and makes me crabby. I thought this was supposed to be magical?
2. Snow day for dd. As he hasn't been to preschool since tueaday. She is not happy about that at all
3. Pregnancy insomnia is in full swing
4. Less than 5 wks to edd. I'm go from excited to freaking out
5. I think dh truck is going to be totaled from his accident on Sat. So we might have to go car shopping plus have to get new carseats for that.
6. I feel alot better after the random all day dizziness on Sunday thank goodness
7. Inconsistant weak contractions are super annoying. Tmi, but I'm pretty sure I lost part of the the mucus plug. Eww. I didn't ever see it with the other two. And baby feels a little lower, breathing is a bit easier
8. I really hope baby turns soon. Pretty sure head is still by my ribs on the right side
9. Impatiently waiting for taxes so we can get a couple things and pay some small bills off
10. ds is almost two. We aren't pushing potty training, but we take him when he asks. He likes to pull his junknout the side of the diaper and pee on things lately, as well as just touch it. Not thrilled about this new discovery of his.
1. This is my first TTT, I'm going to try to participate a little more these days!
2. We had our last of a 6 week series of baby classes last night...I guess that means we're ready?!
3. I have to laugh at myself reading all the threads about people's nurseries...we have a tiny one bedroom house and the crib/changing table is currently sitting in the family room/kitchen...where it will likely be by the time the baby comes to. Oddly, this doesn't bother me at all. I figure people manage with less all the time.
4. My Grandmother passed away last week. It's times like these that I wish I didn't live on the opposite side of the country from my extended family.
5. I am nerdily excited to be competing in the CrossFit open, even if I can't do everything I used to be able to do. I'm super pumped to still be able to do pull-ups at 34wks 5days.
6. Although I wouldn't say I 'enjoy' being pregnant, I also haven't been crazy uncomfortable, stressed out, or moody. I'm actually pretty consistently happy and calm these days. I guess I consider myself lucky on that front.
7. I'm not sure if I'm more excited about this baby coming out or not having to go into work for a few months...work has been draaaaaaaaaging lately.
8. I think I'm an extrovert in real life but an introvert on the internet...I have a hard time thinking anyone on the internet actually cares about anything I'm saying without really knowing me in real life.
9. I can't wait to see our boxer interact with our newborn son...I am quite convinced they are going to be best friend.
10. I can't wait to see my DH interact with our newborn son...I think it's a huge turn on when he is affectionate and nurturing...which doesn't happen all that often, but he's always been great with kids!
2. My old boss/mentor came to visit. She came all the way from South Africa for a conference and it was so lovely to see her, however brief.
3. I started washing LO's clothes. Everything is so tiny!
4. My room is an awful mess.
5. I started doing a hypnobirthing course online but am having a hard time staying awake for the meditations.
6. I could really use a cleaner.
7. I'm starting to draft my birth plan. It's going to take me twice as long cause I have to write one in French too. Not looking forward to that.
8. Apparently I have to start looking for daycare options before baby is born. Yet another thing to add to the list.
9. Coconut water is my miracle beverage.
10. I would love to go to Ikea sometime soon.
2. I really need to get my brows done
3. DD1 has pajama day tomorrow at daycare and I'm jealous
4. It's 70 degrees out, so I'm guessing we'll be taking DD1 to the playground again today
5. Go away heartburn
6. Lightning crotch can suck it too
7. And BH. I never got them last time, they're annoying
8. I need a nap
9. I just realized it's March
10. I was hoping our nursery chair would come early, but alas I have to wait until Thursday
2. Now I am worried about her and feel like a terrible parent because I never noticed that. Her DR appt isn't until April.
3. I've been wide awake since 4 am and it's starting to take its toll.
4. My car decided to start making scary noises and of course when I took it in the car would do it.
5. Thankfully we know the mechanic well and he looked her over well before telling me it was safe to drive.
6. Obviously I ended up coming into work late and my spot was take by someone who should know better.
7. Of course everyone needs something now and I feel like going home sick.
8. It snowed last night and we ended up with over 3 inches.
9. I wish DH was home I miss him already.
10.I really need a nap.
2. Getting my highlights done this weekend. It's been too long!
3. Weekly doctors appointments start this Friday. Kind of in shock lol.
4. Since its been warming up outside, I think I have created a monster. We went to the park ONCE last week and now my toddler wakes up every morning and immediately asks if we can go to the park. He's so cute, I can't say no so we have basically lived there.
5. Federal taxes this year have been such a pain in the butt. We accidentally forgot to include one thing so our refund hasn't been approved (we filed 1.5 months ago). We just got a letter in the mail from the IRS and we now have to send in a million different things and it will delay our return (what little we will be getting back) by 6-8 weeks!
6. I'm so over it. The government can keep all of our money at this point just so we don't have to deal with them anymore. Ugh.
7. A lot of baby clothes and headbands that I ordered from etsy are getting deliver today. Eekk! So excited!
8. I slept like crap last night. I can barely keep my eyes open right now.
9. And I have a horrible headache.
10. Toddler is asleep finally. Mama nap time
1) Baby is no longer frank breech! He flipped and now he's head down!
2) I watched the entire 1st season of Fuller House in one night. Now what to do?
3) I don't know why, but I have no desire to watch The Walking Dead anymore.
4) I woke up 4 times last night - a crying toddler, two leg cramps, and a bathroom break. I'm tired.
5) Had my first biophysical profile today and NST. I'm also down 6 pounds. I celebrated with chicken nuggets and a Big Mac
6) I wish I was further along than what I really am. I'm so ready to be done.
7) I've been closely following Joey Feek and this latest update gets me so sad.
8) Can it be April already?
9) I think I'm going to get a photo album to keep all my ultrasound pics in.
10) I'm going to dig in my basement for old arts and crafts and photos and maybe do some scrapbooking.
It's a boy! Grow baby, grow! EDD: 4/22/2016
2. I am putting the butter on this ciabatta bread I got. It's hard to stop eating this bread and butter.
3. I ordered over 1000 dollars' worth of baby stuff this weekend. Most of it is going to arrive tomorrow.
4. My recycling bin has already been full for days and I'm currently collecting excess recyclables so I don't know what we will do with all the cardboard boxes we will get.
5. I was washing all the baby laundry and I don't understand how to put those sleep sacks and swaddles on babies. Those are confusing garments.
6. I find it annoying I am supposed to eat foods other than bread and cheese.
7. I still have this week, next week and finals to get through for my college classes, but I'm already feeling mentally done with this shit so I don't actually want to do any work anymore.
8. I have been wearing those snoring nose strips every night and I guess they work. It's annoying having sticky stuff on my nose though.
9. I have a bunch of thank you cards to write for the shower. That could easily get procrastinated for a couple weeks.
10. I have another OB appointment today. It seems pointless to go this often.
2. I've been peeing ALL. DAY.
3. My new bra fits so well...
4. Switching insurance companies and doctors is a pain in the butt.
5. It decided to pour down only while I was outside.
6. I'm really happy that I went back to a non-traditional colored stone in my ring. The white sapphire was bugging the crap out of me.
7. 100% done with being pregnant. I've in a homicidal rage for the past few day or have broken down crying. DH thinks things will get better once we move and there are less people around to stress me out.
8. I get the keys to our new place tomorrow. The most DH will let me do is move small things... So I'm going to set up the bathroom after I wipe everything down.
9. Apparently one of the people who I thought was coming to the concert originally wasn't... But now they are, since two people bailed on us. Dang. At least I didn't get my hopes up?
10. I have zero motivation at work today. I just want to go home and relax before the concert.
2. 31 days left for me! Yikes! And yay!
3. We picked up the crib today. We get to set it up Saturday.
4. DH got his permit so now I get to teach him to drive.
5. I have a birthday this weekend. Not sure what to do being super preggo. Stay at home watching movies?
6. I want to upgrade my VHS collection to DVD or BluRay but have no idea how. Any way to do this cheaply?
7. I get an ultrasound on Friday to check position and size. Yay.
8. We still don't have the car seat...
9. We finally got renter's insurance. I feel accomplished.
10. I need a massage. My feet hurt!
2) We have lived at our rental for almost a month and I JUST finally found our waste management company. They should've dropped out cans off today. Yay for trash day tomorrow!
3) Our baby showers were this past weekend. Both were wonderful and I love our family and friends. I haven't transferred our pictures yet, but I can't wait to share them.
4) I have been so productive the past 2 days. I even went to the DMV before work. I am excited I've been getting extra stuff done so I won't have to on my day off...buuut I am worried this is a sign LO may try to come soon.
5) I need to order the last few things to be ready for LO. One thing is a carrier. I got two wraps this weekend, but DH is nervous about using one so we agreed to get a carrier as well. Well his oldest sister was going to let us borrow hers. Then remembered someone borrowed it. Well come to find out the one who borrowed it was their youngest sister and let her friend use it. Well that friend (they aren't actually friends anymore) slept with my now DH while I was living in California, then pulled a fake pregnancy thing when I came home and turned our life into a shitshow for a month. So now I am not sure if I want the carrier. Which is ungrateful, but idk. We'll see what happens.
6) I had Bojangles for dinner. So yummy. Now I don't want to go back to work for 2 hours.
7) I keep feeling a pinch on my leg above my sock. I don't see anything, but now I'm trying to remember the size of my legs in that area. My feet aren't swollen, but idk about my leg.s.
8) 5ish weeks until I meet LO. So long, yet so short.
9) We have our hospital tour next week, super pumped, even if it's not necessary.
10) I am so ready for snuggles right meow!
2). My phone is lagging bad on this website. It takes several seconds for what I type to appear. So annoying!
3). My legs, ankles, feet and toes are swollen. I have pitting edema in my left leg up to my knee. My BP is always normal, but all this swelling is making me nervous. It doesn't help to be on my feet so much at work either.
4). Maybe at my next appt, the Dr will think I need to stay home now because of this swelling! I doubt it, apparently I have to be on my death bed before they will decide I need to be off work.
5). I hate the way my body looks now. My boons are covered in stretch marks, my nipples/areolas are giant and ugly now, and they've gone up at least a cup size. Now they sag and I am so depressed seeing them. I had implants 6 years ago, but now they are ruined. Guess I'll eventually be getting a lift. I've got stretch marks forming on my lower belly and a few on my hips. All this plus the swelling, I feel like I've lost all control over my body, and I just hope I can salvage parts if it after birth.
6). I don't understand how anyone could possibly think Trump would make a good president.
7)don't feel like doing any work tonight. I'm exhausted and want to go home and lay in my bed.
8). My back is killing me. Pregnancy sucks! No way am I doing this again. Its taking too much of a physical and mental toll on me.
9). Its taking too long to you this out with the phone lagging, so I'll stop at 9.
