TTC#2 April 20192. We are doing a dinner thing tonight for pre-nursing students at the college to answer questions and talk about what it's like being a nurse. I'm excited!
3. Brushing my teeth and getting the weird bad taste out feels so nice
4. I had crumbled up dry ramen noodles for dinner last night
5. I discovered that the thought of ice cream nauseates me, but once I start eating it I enjoy it
6. I hate pulling dandelions. I've been battling with them for years and greatly decreased their numbers but there are still hundreds of them in our lawn
7. I went on a hike this weekend and my friend fell and split her knee open. I made a field dressing out of a panty liner and some tape (I always carry tape) and sent her to the ER where she got 12 sutures.
8. I don't have a first aid kit in my car. That embarrasses me.
9. Ever since I went off BCP my hair started parting itself in the middle instead of the side and it drives me crazy. That's not where it's supposed to part!
10. I'm going to try to go back to sleep for an hour

November 2016 April Siggy Challenge - April Showers
2. H and I got new phones this weekend. We switched from Apple to Android and got the Galaxy s7...still debating if I like it or not.
3. Since my u/s is at 1 tomorrow and its 35 minutes from my work, I'm taking a half day
4. I've been seriously thinking about finding a 'work from home' job...
5. H forgot to block the couch last night so our dog can't get up on it and sleep at night. I came downstairs and saw him sleeping on couch. He saw me, instantly jumped off and ran to his bed and laid down...trying to be sneaky like I couldn't see him or something. I couldn't get mad at him though. He's just too cute.
6. Assuming everything looks fine tomorrow at our u/s, we will finally be telling everyone we want to tell and I can't wait. This is such a hard secret to keep and its killing our parents that they can't tell family.
7. Friday is my boss's last day. She took a better job opportunity elsewhere. I'm sad she's leaving because she's the best boss, but I'm happy that she has found something better. We are having a celebration for her Friday from 1-3...and there will be yummy cake there from a local bakery. I can't wait to eat cake.
8. Yesterday, I came home from work and made dinner. I couldn't tell you the last time I felt well enough to make dinner. Usually I feel too sick, too tired, or nothing we have sounds good. I was really proud of myself.
9. H is buying Star Wars: The Force Awakens and I can't wait to watch it again.
10. The cheddar cheese and saltine crackers I'm currently eating for lunch taste like the best thing in the world right now. Pregnancy is so weird.

2) I'm super proud he was saying, "PWEEZE MOM. PWEEEZE." He just turned 20 months old
3) I'm so blown away he will be a big brother.
4) The thought of two curly haired babies on my lap kills me
5) The thought of my gorgeous husband holding our two curly headed babies kills me even more
6) I worry that I'm too happy
7) then MS swoops in and squashes that
8) I'm super over that shit. Come on placenta, let's get regulating - you slacking beyotch.
9) I cry at everything happy
10) I am thankful for this board every morning. I like the camaraderie. I haven't made any friends IRL here where I live.
2. I miss my toddler right now, even though he was driving me nuts this morning.
3. He's just so cute!
4. I'm excited to see him as a big brother...and also worried he's going to hate sharing my attention.
5. We're going to AZ this month and I can't wait for some warm weather.
6. Hot dogs.
7. I worked out yesterday and I am SO sore.
8. I'm sitting in my car across from someone else sitting in their car. We're trying not to look at each other. This is awkward.
9. Thinking of 10 positive things is hard.
10. Maternity clothes suck. They're all so ugly.
2. @homeydontplaythat I also cry over everything happy (and sad, and slightly frustrating...).
3. @ShallowSeas my boss is also leaving! But not until July. He already knows I'm pregnant but promised not to tell anyone until I do.
4. I have a lot of anxiety about coming back to work after I have a kid (sorry I'll keep it positive)
5. I had a dream last night about buying baby clothes! Onesies with pink seahorses!
6. I made matzo ball soup on Sunday and I'm about to heat some up and I'm so happy about it, even if it does need a little more salt.
7. I left the house without a coat today and that was a BIG MISTAKE, so I took a cab from the train station and it was very relaxing compared to my usual cold walk.
8. Mr. Mustard is the best mustard. Idk why it took me so long to figure this out.
9. My husband and I have been talking about getting better at meal planning. Sunday is going to be our prep day since we don't have a lot of time during the week. (I work long hours and he has been getting more carpentry jobs lately, yay!)
10. As a continuation of #9, I'm looking up some good crock pot recipes right now on my lunch break.
1. H has been so amazing and cute ever since we found out we're expecting
2. It's like falling in love all over again
3. I want to quit my job
4. But the benefits are really good and I have a great boss...
5. I guess I'm glad it's freezing out today and going to suck the rest of the week because I'm working, and it's supposed to be nice this weekend, so that's nice
6. My nails are really strong and my hair is super shiny
7. H is also going to buy Star Wars tonight, but we're waiting til Thursday to watch it with my nephew
8. I'm meeting an old coworker for lunch - it'll be great to get out of the office for a bit
9. I need a new pair of shoes, I haven't bought any in soo long
10. I have a meeting in half an hour where I'll finally find out the dates of our Ireland trip and if it's officially happening. I hope it is, I want to go so badly!
ETA: 11. I finally remembered to get cereal and marshmallows at the store last night to make Rice Krispies...they're amazing and might be the only thing I eat for the next few days!
I read #11 and immediately texted H saying, " i feel like we need to make rice krispie treats". They sound so good!

2. I couldn't discern the heartbeat, but both the OB and H said they could see the flicker, so I guess there's that!
3. Baby is measuring about where I expected it (9w1d), but the OB is keeping my due date adjusted to my LMP, such that baby would now be 8w6d. I'm totally happy with this, because I have a couple days extra confidence that baby is passing its developmental milestones, but also a few days leeway on the other end to reduce the likelihood of induced labor.
4. I chugged half of H's coffee before my appointment so that I'd be able to give a pee sample. That's the first caffeine I've had in almost a month, and wowza I'm feelin' it.
5. I also had a Frosty from Wendy's for lunch.
6. I'm so happy right now; I can't contain it.
7. I found out a couple days ago that my dad is going to let H and I keep the money that was leftover from our wedding budget. It's quite a large sum, and it couldn't have come at a better time. It should be more than enough to cover all of my prenatal care and delivery.
8. @NordyMN89 I totally know what you mean about feeling like you're falling in love all over again. Obviously I've always been a big fan of my H, but he's gone above and beyond to accommodate my every craving and discomfort these past few weeks without a single complaint.
9. Both H and I sort of like the idea of having a son first, but I know both our hearts would also totally melt for a little daughter. It's a win-win, I suppose! I'm just excited to figure out which it's going to be.
10. I probably spend way too much time on this board, but I don't really care, because I like you guys a lot.
2. When my daughter wakes up I'm 100% piling her into the car so I can get McDonalds for whatever meal you eat at 4pm (Linner? Dunch?)
3. I love that lately my husband getting home "late" is 7pm. He's been home for our daughter's bedtime every day for the last 2 weeks. It's so nice to see more of him.
4. It snowed again and my budding tulips are probably toast
5. I'm excited for it to get consistently warm out again.
6. As soon as DD goes to bed tonight I'm taking a lovely bath and then going to sleep early. Yes indeed.
7. @HomeyDontPlayThat I'm super impressed that your toddler got a pie off of the counter and into the other room without dropping it! Major coordination points, lil buddy!
8. Now I want pie.
9. More specifically I want three pies. Key lime, cherry, and strawberry rhubarb.
10. I've actually never made a pie. I'm a pretty good baker of cakes, cookies, brownies, breads, etc but I've never even tried to make pie. Which is bananas because pie is my fav.
2) We got to hear the HB on the doppler.
3) H came with me and I think it feels more real for him now.
4) They gave me so much reading material.
5) The weather this week has been really warm and sunny, it feels like Spring. We've had such a mild winter that I'm worried we will get a surprise snow storm in May.
6) I slept so well last night. It was amazing.
7) We're going bowling on Thursday for a friend's 30th birthday. I'm excited, I love bowling.
8) I haven't thrown up this week and I'm feeling so much better. I'm hoping things stay like this.
9) I'm ordering a prenatal barre dvd off of Amazon. I seriously need to get back to working out.
10) @HomeyDontPlayThat your little guy sounds adorable! I'm impressed with his pie transporting skills.
2. This baby doesn't want me to eat chocolate and I don't approve.
3. DS and DD will need to share a room soon so we're looking at bunk beds.
4. We've been having nicer weather lately and DH has been cooking tons of grill food -- yum!
5. I just registered DD for a week of "Super Critters" summer camp at a local nature preserve to supplement her summer at daycare's summer camp.
6. DS suddenly had new words upon waking up this morning. At breakfast he signed more and asked for "ha ba" = hash browns.
7. I had pita bread and hummus as a snack earlier and am considering more for lunch. The tamale I packed doesn't sound good.
8. Pregnancy is a weird time warp that makes things move both faster and slower.
9. I'm happy DH and I are finally on the same page about sticking with our budget. We really need to cut back on random splurges before this baby comes.
10. I'm feeling a little guilty about the amount of time I've been spending on here during work.
2. Had souvlaki and salad for lunch, managed to keep it down for an hour.
3. Came home and ate a huge plate of chicken tetrazzini (leftover from yesterday. I make awesome tetrazzini) and finally feel normal.
4. My group learning session today was on 1st and 2nd trimester prenatal care and risk management. had to be careful not to take over the session because this is a favourite topic.
5. My Doppler arrived! Couldn't find the baby's heart but I'm only 9+1.
6. Totally just chugged a litre of water to try to raise up my uterus a bit to see if I can find it now.
7. I need to pee.
8. Again.
9. Ultrasound tomorrow then transfer to OB care.
10. Confirmed today that I will be going home for three weeks this summer! I'm so excited.
Son, K, 9 | Daughter, C, 5 | Daughter, M, expected November 7, 2016
2. DH is a teacher (on spring break) and has been home with this girls this week - I came home to a clean house, the girls were bathed and he made dinner
3. DH cleaned my car this weekend (way overdue)
4. I'm really liking my new job
5. Can't wait to go out of town this weekend
6. DD#2 just discovered the word no and will not stop screaming it
7. I went to shave my legs this morning before work and got the last razor our of the medicine cabinet. Somehow it slipped out of my hand and bounced off the sink into the toilet
2. Since being sick and stuck inside, we have cabin fever.
3. I have no guilt leaving the kids in front of the tv today so I could rest.
4. Sonic slushies help with my nausea
. 5. I have no clue what I am going to do for dinner.
6. Next week is going to be busy. DS has speech therapy on monday, a dentist appointment on Tuesday. My bday on Wednesday and an OB appt Thursday. All appts are 30-45 min drive one way.
7. Time like this, I am grateful for a hardworking hubby, so I could be a SAHM.
8. We closed on 4 acres of land! We will start building our dream home in the next couple years.
9. I'm thinking this baby is a boy, but we are team green.
10. If it is a boy, I want to name him Isaac. I have to get DH on board.
