Re: Ten Things Tuesday (TTT)

    1. We are going to look at that dog today!
    2. I made a egg and sausage english muffin this morning. I put swiss cheese and BBQ on it and it was AMAZING!
    3. I may miss my cardio kickboxing class today because of going to see the dog. That makes me sad. I don't like missing my class.
    4. My boobs always hurt!!!
    5. My betas are looking really good! I have a really good feeling about this pregnancy.
    6. I'm happy that its been getting warmer out. I am over winter.
    7. I have so much to do this weekend. I have to work on a website, assemble and paint my pallet project, and go to the memorial mass for my grandmother (40 minutes away).
    8. DH is going out on Thursday for St. Patties day. Not sure if I will join him.
    9. This season of the Bachelor was boring.
    10. I also have been watching Daredevil on Netflix and it was pretty slow and boring. Now I am a little over midway through and its getting more interesting.

  • 1. I kept saying to H that I was buying snake oil, but my sea bands seem to be working. My nausea so far is only about half as bad today. 
    2. This post reminds me of something H and I did when we were dating long distance. We would make "thought journals" and write down random thoughts all day to give to each other in the evening because he didn't have access to a phone or computer during the day. 
    3. I can hear birds outside and I'm super excited that it's almost spring. I'm wondering how active I'm going to be able to be with an infant in November. I always pictured myself with a spring baby so that I could start taking him or her outside early. I'm happy with a baby anytime of the year, though!
    4. I saw these silly gender predictor kits when I was buying my sea bands yesterday. Who buys those?
    5. I don't have a smartphone by choice, but lately I've been kind of wishing I had one just so that I could get on the bump at work without there being record of it.

    The bump is going to make me late for work so I'm only sharing 5 things :) Have a good day, ladies!

  • 1. My baby and dog keep "tongue kissing" and it's so gross. The baby sticks her tongue out and then the dog leans in and licks her right on the mouth. It's super hard to be fast enough to stop them.
    2. I guess I didn't drink enough water yesterday because I woke up feeling so hung over. That shouldn't be allowed when I haven't had alcohol in months.
    3. I hate Donald Trump so. so. much. and I'm sick of hearing about him and thinking about how much I hate him and seeing his stupid orange face.
    4. I'm really looking forward to having a bump again. Not sucking in the tummy is the best.
    5. It's rainy and gross out. Time for warm tea!
    6. It needs to be tomorrow already. I can wait no longer for my ultrasound.
    7. I'm so excited to go to California on Friday! Grandparents to watch my daughter + tanning by the pool = heaven.
    8. I'm kinda embarrassed by how disappointed I am that we canceled our Disneyland day trip while we're out there because I can't ride rollercoasters. I'm on the verge of tears when I think about it (both happy tears, because baby! and pouty sad tears because splash mountain!)
    9 & 10. The Donald Trump thing two more times.

  • 1. My first u/s is tomorrow and I can't wait!
    2. H and I bought a little pair of Converse crib shoes to use for our public announcement when that time comes.
    3. I planted bulbs this weekend and I can't wait for them to bloom. I'm so ready for spring!
    4. My dog has been so sweet lately.  I just want to snuggle him all day long.
    5. Hot flashes are keeping me up at night.  I had the fan on last night and froze poor H. He was bundled up in the blankets with a long sleeve shirt on this morning and I was wearing a tank top with the blankets thrown off of me.
    6. I'm really trying to be productive today at work!
    7. Green pancakes on St. Paddy's day is a tradition for H and I.  We usually take the day off and I make green pancakes and Guinness for breakfast before we go to the parade.  This year we aren't taking the day off so I'm making them for dinner tomorrow. Minus the Guinness for me :)
    8. H randomly gave me a foot rub the other night. I thanked him and told him it was a sweet gesture and he said, "I'm getting my practice in.  I'm sure I'll be giving you a lot of foot rubs over the next 8 months".  He's sweet  <3
    9. Maternity pants are on today.  I feel amazing.
    10. It's suppose to be 74 degrees today!! I can't wait to take my dog on a walk with H this evening.

  • 1. The bloat is real. I actually had to leave my pants unbuttoned today and I'm only 6 weeks
    2. It's down pouring rain and I'm just happy it gives me an excuse to stay inside with my daughter today and be lazy 
    3. I'm craving blueberries like crazy 
    4. Me and my husband are going to Homegoods tonight to look at house stuff and I'm way too excited

  • 1. I put my daughter to bed early last night because this: , but she didn't fight it and there was peace again.
    2. I took a half day today because I want to take a nap, but I forgot the second grade is on a trip so I only teach one class this afternoon. I'm making up for it by having my sub photocopy everything under the sun and sharpen all my pencils.
    3. I'm with you on DT, @SRose109
    4. Speaking of DT, Daniel Tiger is my jam these days.
    5. I made little chicken pot pies (for pi day) last night and they were so good. I would eat dirt if you put it in a crescent roll, let's be honest.
    6. My BFF just had a baby and I would have insane baby fever if I wasn't pregnant. I went over on Saturday night to help her get him set up for bed, and I saw how frazzled they are and I can't WAIT to do it a second time - I feel so much more relaxed having done it before.
    7. My daughter doesn't have a St. Patrick's Day outfit or a green shirt. I'm not sure what I'm doing about that.
    8. I'm scared of looking just fat, and never looking pregnant this time.
    9. I'm so excited to tell my family, they're going to be TOTALLY surprised. We originally said we needed to wait until DD was closer to kindergarten because daycare is ridic, but we lost our minds and i'm still not sure what our plan is, haha.
    10. I'm really excited about the dinner I'm making tonight.

  • 1. It's my 29th birthday and I'm absurdly happy that this kid is going to be born when I'm 29.
    2. I had kid 1 at 19.
    3. I had kid 2 at 23.
    4. Having kid 3 at 29 means I'll have had my three children at three sequential prime number ages.
    5. I am a math nerd. This may now be apparent. 
    6. I am insanely jealous of the fact that our cockatoo prefers my husband and barely tolerates me.
    7. It is March break and we signed the kids up at a school-based day program. "Happy March break kids, you're going to another school!"
    8. My nine year old is better at arguing for things than my husband. 
    9. My office is currently full of about 8 loads of clean laundry that need to be folded. I'm not doing it. 
    10. I desperately miss the ocean and I want to go home.

  • 1. It's spring break (I'm a professor) but I sent my DD to my MIL's house anyways so I could be home do nothing! Well, probably do work but I could do nothing if I wanted!
    2. @talkthewholetime Daniel Tiger is also my jam! We watched the Daniel becomes a Big Brother episode this morning. I consider it preparation.
    3. I love to sew and can't wait to make things for le bebe but I am trying to hold off until we know baby's sex.
    4. I'm currently reading The Magicians and it makes me miss Harry Potter in a good way and in a not so good way.
    5. I can't wait to start showing. I miss the bump.
    6. The azaleas are in full bloom in my yard.
    7. Easter candy, why are you so good?
    8. I can't figure out where to take my weekly bump photos this time around, but I'm excited to do one tomorrow!
    9. I love peppermint tea in the morning.
    10. Bummed I totally forgot yesterday was Pi(e) Day! Might have to make up for it today.

  • @earichar23 - that episode and the one where Margaret is born makes me cry. Hormonal much?

  • 1. I just learned how to play Yahtzee online and I am now addicted. 
    2. My husband came into my vanity with our son in his arms, asking, "where's our girl? THERE'S our girl." and then proceeded to learn down and smooch my belly. I mean....cue tears. He is convinced it's a girl. He was last time too, but I am beginning to think he might be right this time.
    3. The cat won't leave me alone. I have a million pictures of her asleep on my tummy. She used to leave us mouse heads and dismembered birds back when she was feral, now she tries to clean my face.
    4. I love to GIF. Don't be annoyed. It's fun. 
    5. TWD has been REALLY effing good the last couple episodes. 
    6. I'm going to get a mani when my husband is home. Taking off dove gray, thinking lilac/lavender like how I want to do the nursery if this IS in fact, a girl
    7. She's stealing my beauty. Skin is dry, breakouts. Ugh.
    8. I can't stop eating Trader Joe's version of Swedish Fish. They are amazeballs.
    9. I want to go to the Zoo today with my son, but it's wicked windy and threatening rain. 
    10. I'm already liking the vibe of this board. I hope everyone stays chill.

  • 1. Daylight savings time is kicking my butt, as if I wasn't exhausted enough...
    2. I managed to wake up to my 4:50 alarm this morning, I consider this a win
    3. I cut myself while cooking dinner last night, this was a first and OUCH! Skin flap :/
    4. I'm in meetings all day so I'll be bumping all day
    5. The reality of being pregnant hasn't set in for H or me yet...
    6. I can't wait for reality to hit so we can start planning the nursery!
    7. I wish I could wear my super soft leggings to work, pants suck and are getting tight
    8. I just found out my boss approved me to attend a conference in Ireland in June!
    9. I have mixed feelings about telling H about said trip, but I'm going to invite him to come so maybe he won't be so against it (I know he'll be super worried about me traveling while pregnant)
    10. Happy Birthday @KilgraveMadeMeDoIt hope it's a great one! :)


  • edited March 2016
    1. My boobs look fantastic (thanks babies!)
    2. I'm so happy to be having nausea each day, even if it's only a bit
    3. I feel like a terrible dog mom; I'm on restricted activity and DH is sick so no big walks for her...she's so bored
    4. I'm excited and anxious for my ultrasound tomorrow
    5. These pregnancy dreams are weird yo...I don't normally remember my dreams so this is new
    6. I'm scared to have to go back to work and be on my feet for 12 hours
    7. I'm so happy it's springy outside, even if that means rain
    8. Having a lazy day today, watching Guardians of the Galaxy with DH on opposite couches to avoid his germies

  • 1) I'm hoping I can keep my meals down today. Didn't have such luck yesterday!
    2) H agreed for us to go to a St.Paddy's Day luncheon with friends, I'm not overly excited about it. Being DD and trying to stomach corned beef and cabbage doesn't sound like a blast right now!
    3) I'm on a major Downton Abbey Netflix binge this week. I can't believe I waited so long to watch it!
    4) I really should fold the 4 loads of laundry that I've dumped on the guest bed.
    5) We are going to look at new houses this week. I can't wait to get a bigger place.
    6) I'm pissed at my Dad for telling my Grandmother that I'm pregnant, even though I asked him to wait. He has a big mouth.
    7) My best friend is 12 weeks pregnant with twins. I can't believe that we are 5 weeks a part. We have both had previous losses. I relied heavily on her for support. It's amazing that we get to enjoy pregnancy together this time!
    8) My Mom is so excited about being a first time Grandmother that she keeps sending me care packages with baby items.
    9) My boobs are huge! I may need to get a new bra soon.
    10) It's Taco Tuesday tonight in our house.
  • edited March 2016
    1) I'm a SAHM and trying to stay productive but dude, I have a one tracked mind right now.
    2) I'm hoping to wait to tell until 12 wks but I've already almost goofed several times. 7 wks sounds like a looong time to keep this secret!
    3) I wished my body always looked liked this now. Slightly bigger boobs, no bigger waist. Working on contentment.
    4) I'm super unpolitical but I also think DT is a fruit cake and his HAIR! 
    5) DH has been super sweet to me lately. Love him for it.
    6) I'm a homeschool mom and it is HARD! 
    7) I have spring fever like crazy.
    8) I'm very thankful to be feeling good but I'll admit MS and other PG symptoms are comforting.
    9) I still have done no research on a new OB. I know they won't see me for several weeks anyway...but I probably should get on it.
    10) I don't mind cooking but I detest thinking of what to make!

    It was easier to think of 10 things than I thought!

    Edited: because sometimes I need a new brain!
