Ten Things Tuesday! Post any 10 random thoughts you want. Try and keep it positive.

m6agua · May 2016

I left work 2 hours early yesterday because I wasn't feeling good. Got home, took a nap, woke up and then nausea started. It was nice to nap though.
2 more weeks until my next appointment.
One week until we see Kevin Smith.
I am ready for the weekend already.
I finally went through some boxes in our basement and organized our rummage sale things. I posted some up online and then will put the rest on a rummage sale later this month. Yay for extra money to spend on the baby.
I am really going to try and make it to the gym today. I skipped last week.
It's raining here. I wish it wasn't, but we could use the rain.
I got my eyebrows waxed last week and I love the shape of them now.
I really need a trim, I have so many split ends.
Thats all for today. Happy Tuesday!

1. I'm loving the peach apricot gluten-free fig newton like bars that whole foods makes.

2. My doctor appt. this morning is about a block from one of my favorite restaurants in SF... I'm trying to figure out a way to hang around the area long enough to belly up to the bar for lunch once they open.

3. I really want the burger or possibly the chicken waldorf salad from above restaurant, with fries for sure.

4. There is also a great baby store in this neighborhood, so I think I just figured out how to kill time before the restaurant opens for lunch!

5. The win the GS Warriors pulled off last night was pretty awesome. Happy to have Curry back!

6. I just realized we have ZERO plans this weekend and I couldn't be more thrilled about it!

7. We need to replace our Rowenta clothes steamer. It's one of the big stand-up ones and we've used it consistently for about 5 years. It's had a good life, but I just need to bite the bullet and order a new one.

8. I'm worried about my little old dog and how a new baby will affect him. He's going to be 13 and July and I have a slight feeling of guilt that the rest of his life will be super stressful for him.

9. I should probably call my optometrist back and get in for an exam and prescription update.

10. Time to get out of bed!

m6agua · May 2016

@lilwonder Not sure if it's legit, but I read that you shouldn't get new eye glasses/contacts while pregnant. Your vision changes while pregnant and changes again or back to normal after. Like I said I don't know how reliable that info is.

AdmiralKitty · May 2016

1. I'm growing out my hair after chopping off 10in three months ago... and I managed to get it into a tiny little pony tail today. So excited!
2. Tuesdays are my Fridays.

3. I'm going to Portland for the day tomorrow to spend time with one of my besties that lives in Boston. She's planning a move to PDX to be with her boyfriend (soon Fiance hopefully) and I'm so excited to have her closer!
4. My sister is also moving to Portland from Alaska this winter. Yay for everyone moving closer to me!
5. My weird craving for PopTarts seems to be going away which is great because I normally think they're kinda gross and cardboard-y.
6. Kitty snuggles are so epic right now. I think he likes the baby and wants to be curled up on top of him.
7. I'm having Tyler Florence mac&cheese for lunch today. He has a restaurant at the airport and I am obsessed with all the sides they offer.
8. Hubs and I have been watching The Americans and I think we might catch up to the current season tonight. It's SUCH a good show!
9. DH felt bad about not getting me anything for mother's day (which I wasn't celebrating or expecting anything so he was totally fine) so he went and bought me the fancy chef's mandolin I've wanted for a while. I want to slice all the veggies now!
10. Mom gave me a gift card for maternity clothes and I bought a few pairs of secret-fit belly pants. I can't wait for them to get here...

1) I can't stop thinking about it being a baby boy
2) I grew another penis! That's one more than my MIL ever did, HA.
3) DH gave the sweetest reaction when I filmed him opening the gender reveal. I've watched that part probably 30 times already.
4) He's has been starry eyed since then. He really thought it was a girl. We have two sons now! Whaaaat?
5) I'm outnumbered now. Me and the cat. That is all the feminine influence in the house and she licks her ass.
6) @m6agua @lilwonder your eyesight does in fact change, hopefully it'll be back to normal after you deliver. I couldn't wear contacts at all last pregnancy and am getting to that point now. I believe it's because of the pressure in the cornea, retina.
7) We are in love with the name "Jack" coupled with our last name, he will sound like he belongs in an action movie.
8) Middle name to be determined, but we want to keep our Gaelic thing going, or maybe we'll go Danish this time and pull from my side.
9) I want to give the world a big hug today, that's how much in love I'm getting to be with the baby.
10) I'm eating vanilla bean scones for breakfast and a whipped cream coffee.

DunkinDecaf · May 2016

1. We made it through an entire music class without DD stealing any instruments from any other kids. Win! My little love can be kind of a bully sometimes, but I've been really working on it with her and she's getting so much better.
2. It is GORGEOUS outside. I may do some backyard tanning this afternoon.
3. I got a turtle shaped sandbox for Mother's Day and it just came!
4. My mom and dad are going to Italy for 2 weeks and I don't know how I'll survive without my mother for that long. MIL will be out a couple times to watch DD so I can get stuff done which is awesome, but I love being able to call my mom in the afternoon when I feel like shit and she comes right over to play with baby so I can lie down. I'm so spoiled.
5. I'm making my favorite sausage and peppers casserole with mozzarella cheese for dinner tonight. Nom nom nom.
6. I'm really expecting this baby to be a girl. I can kind of see us having all girls.
7. I love wedding season!! It's so much fun to see loved ones so happy.
8. I love the Mother's Day flowers my husband got me. They make the house look so cheerful!
9. DD's been carrying around a picture of me holding her in the hospital the day she was born and it makes me melt how happy she is looking at it.
10. I'm in the best mood today!

jrussell16 · May 2016

1. I love being pregnant at the same time as my sister. It's been so nice to have someone to commiserate with.
2. I'm so excited for a weekend almost completely free. I have a to do list a mile long and I can't wait to accomplish a lot.
3. I want this rain to stop so I can enjoy spring.
4. Someone keeps leaving things in my mailbox at work. It's like I have a secret santa that keeps dropping off work-related things (professional development books, a travel bag, a CD from an event we had). No one else in the office seems to be getting things.
5. Is there such a thing as too much water? I'm probably drinking close to 100 oz. a day.
6. My physical therapist is awesome. Yesterday I was finally able to try running again and I had no pain!
7. DH and I went to bed at 8:30 last night (we never go to bed separately - even though he stays up reading or playing on his tablet for a few hours) because I was so tired. I feel like a new person today.
8. What's for lunch? The sandwich I brought isn't going to be nearly enough.
9. We just decided to have a barbecue on Memorial Day weekend. I'm excited to entertain for the first time in our new house.
10. DH did the grocery shopping last night while I was at physical therapy. He's the best.

It's supposed to rain all day today here, but I don't actually mind, because it's good, ploppy spring rain, and it makes everything feel alive!
But the thought of laying out to tan in the sunshine does sound utterly delightful, @DunkinDecaf. I definitely wouldn't complain if tomorrow decided to be warm and sunny instead.
H and I were road-tripping around the Southeast for six days straight last week, and I didn't get sick even once, much to my surprise and delight.
Of course, I've had to throw up both days since we returned home... I've come to the conclusion that it's not the baby making me sick, just Illi-freakin-nois. So ready to move out of the Midwest!!
I feel like I bring up this topic on various threads way too often, so sorry if it's getting creepy, but I finally whipped out my electric trimmer this morning after a three month hiatus, and now my lady parts feel AMAZING. Like, I'm going to have trouble focusing at work this afternoon, because all I want to do is go home and get naked...
Speaking of which, it has been a very pleasant surprise to me how sexy pregnancy has made me feel, especially since my bump has made its appearance. It's taken a little getting used to, since it's so different from the norm, but on the whole I honestly don't remember the last time I've felt this confident about my body!
@jrussell16 I've been drinking ridiculous amounts of water too! I've always been a big water drinker anyways, but since I became pregnant it suddenly tastes like the nectar of the gods, and I can't get enough.
I'm SO HUNGRY ALL OF THE TIME this week too; my metabolism must be trying to make up for the past two and a half months of meager eating.
Yesterday I met a couple of friends for brunch and ordered something (omelette + pancakes + cottage cheese) that I fully intended to split in half so that I could eat leftovers today. Yeah, no... Ate it all and was ready for a snack three hours later.
Lunch today was a banana, a bowl of Cheez-Its, and a spoonful of almond butter. Because whatever.

kmmnocal · May 2016

@jrussell16 There is such a thing as "too much water" but you're not even close, in my opinion. I'm a distance runner and get scared with stories of hyponatremia (water intoxication) during races. You might try putting a pinch of himalayan pink salt in a glass of water in the mornings to help with hydration — I was drinking ALL the water and never satisfied, and doing that even once a day helped me feel a little more level.

Huh, interesting. I'll have to look into this since I just booked an eye appointment for Monday.

I've also heard this. My old boss got lasik surgery - little did she know she was pregnant and now still needs to wear glasses.

1. I put a deposit down on a daycare today.
2. After spelling it out for them twice, they still misspelled my name on the receipt... My poor kid is gonna struggle with this forever.
3. I ate three pickles with lunch
4. Now I feel sick and kinda regret the pickles.
5. Also, I definitely feel like I could go to bed now and sleep until next week.
6. DH bought me flowers for mothers day.
7. He also bought flowers the week before for no particular reason
8. Apparently being KTFU I'd great for the local florist community
9. My work has a soda fountain in the third floor break room and I really want to go get vitamin water, but I also dont want to have to walk up the stairs.
10. Three different people announced their pregnancies on my Facebook this weekend and it made me cry. I wish I could say that it was because I'm so happy for them, but really, I'm just jealous because DH doesn't want to announce on social media. Haha.

shevaCC · May 2016

1. DD had an appointment this morning to see if she's eligible for the peanut patch clinical trial to desensitize her and keep her safer in a world full of nuts.
2. Both my kids have a cough right now.
3. DS loves to copy DD, whether it's running around screaming together or giving me kisses.
4. Half our clothes are dirty and the other half are clean but in laundry baskets.
5. I found out yesterday I'm vitamin D deficient and have to take 2500% of the daily recommend dose until I'm no longer deficient.
6. We went out to Red Robin for lunch, yummm!
7. I was supposed to work this afternoon but so far it doesn't seem super likely.
8. We're looking at a possible new car this afternoon. DH is really excited...I'm not a car person.
9. This Friday DD and I are going to see a musical version of The Little Mermaid.
10. I'm hopeful my nausea is on its way out finally.

sunbeam1 · May 2016

1. DH's childhood bff and his band are touring our state and DH is going with them for 3 days. He's sooo happy
2. My mom called and said her first Blue Apron box arrived and looks like fun.
3. It's 72 and sunny. Perfect!
4. My bleeding is really light today. Stay in my blood vessels already, blood. I uh, need you.
5. The blanket I'm making for my niece (DD 7/20) is almost done.
6. There will only be 4 months difference between my niece and her new cousin in my belly. I hope they get along!
7. My brother is the best daddy ever. I never would have guessed.
8. DH might be able to score free pizza for dinner.
9. Just noticed the plum and peach trees I planted recently are covered in fruit. Cool.
10. So far I've avoided the evil side effects of iron supplementation. Only took 8 servings of fruit in a day. Oof!

mrs_hoyahoo · May 2016

1. As of Friday, we will have officially sold our house! Signed our side of the closing docs today.
2. My son will finally eat macaroni and cheese. He's a picky, picky eater so this is actually a huge victory.
3. Daniel Tiger has a jingle for every situation. I can't believe how often I bust one of them our. Currently, we're all about the potty jingle in this house.
4. Sister in optometry school confirms that temporary myopia during pregnancy is a thing!
5. Wore maternity shorts for the first time today. Belly is definitely firming up at 13 weeks!
6. @jrussell16 An 8:30 bedtime sounds amazing - I should probably stop bumping and go to bed.
7. I am counting down the days til my first pedicure of the summer. I only get them during sandal weather and I can't wait.
8. Giving myself a pedicure at 7 months pregnant the last time is one of the hardest things I've ever done.
9. It took 20 bobby pins to keep my hair up in a twist today. But it stayed put!
10. My son loves to give our dog hugs. I hope he loves this LO as much as he loves his puppy sister.

Editted- mobile bumping +fat thumbs=typos

My first thought was how you're getting good real life examples of "How big is baby?" for weeks 12 and 13. Apparently I've been spending oo much time on the bump lately!
