2. The holiday season. I love Christmas trees, giving gifts, Christmas music, looking at lights, the food...something about the holiday season is so beautiful and romantic to me.
3. Holding Ashton. I am so ready to meet this little guy...partly because I want to know him and also because I am tired of being pregnant.
4. Exercise! When I found out I was pregnant I thought it would be easy for me to keep up my workout routine...never thought I would be too breathless, hot, and exhausted to work out.

4. Can't wait to hold this baby and kiss him and snuggle him and get to know him.

My Wedding Bio!
2. I have committed myself to getting a few work-related projects finished by Oct. So, I guess I'm looking forward to Oct (and having these things off my plate)! Now, I just need the motivation.
3. October should also be awesome because - I'm going to have my shower, maternity pics, and childbirth/breastfeeding classes!
4. All things related to having this baby - including finally meeting the baby, maternity leave, and not being pregnant anymore.
5. Having the holidays off because of maternity leave. Because my family is nearby, I'm always the designated stay-behind-and-cover-everyone-else person, so I'm stuck going in to work the day before and after Christmas, the day before and after Thanksgiving, New Year's Eve, blah blah blah. Not this year! (Well, maybe Thanksgiving. We'll see. Feel free to come a week early, little one).
6. This is kind of far off - but DH and I are hoping to buy a house next spring. We thought about buying this year but it didn't work out for various reasons and now we have resigned our lease for the current year. I love living in the city, but am so excited to have a place of our own that we can decorate (and have more space)!
2. Cooler weather! So sick of this Florida heat and humidity. We're almost at that point where the humidity goes away for several months. Can't wait.
3. My baby shower. My best friends and mom are planning it. I know nothing about it except for the date and two requests I made. Pretty excited to see what they come up with.
4. Rouge One. I've been talking to Squish and they had better cooperate. I AM going to see that movie no matter what!
5. Becoming a mommy. I've waited so long to have my own child. I can't wait to meet Squish and hold them for the first time. And I can't wait to see DH interact with baby. We've both wanted this for a long time.
6. The holidays. This year Hanukkah falls around Christmas, so Squish will be able to celebrate their first Christmas and Hanukkah with us. Then Three Kings in January.
TTC since 6/13
Diagnosed w/ PCOS 4/9/15 - R/E recommended lifestyle change
BFP 4/10/16 - DS born 12/16/2016
SURPRISE! BFP 3/8/18
2. Fall. Dh promised a trip to Apple Hill this year. And the fact that maybe just maybe it will start to cool off!
3. Decorating baby boy's room! We painted today so now just to touch up and start decorating.
4. Our mini baby moon to Santa Cruz in October! I am so so excited.
5. Baby showers.
6. Meeting this precious boy and watching Dh become a Daddy!
1. Like everyone else, Fall. Because of cooler weather and all the fun fall activities.
2. For my father-in-law to no longer be temporarily living with us. We love him but it's been the longest 2 months and 3 weeks ever...
3. To the small luncheon next month that my best friend is throwing with my closest family and friends (about 10-15 people) to celebrate this little girl we're having. Excited to see everyone and just have a fun, relaxing time.
4. Having my boys' room and nursery completed. I'm really more excited about the boys' room right now....I'm determined to make their room a cool place they can hang out together, then on to the nursery
5. Thanksgiving! It's my favorite holiday because I get to eat all my favorite foods and it's the start of the holiday season which I love!
2. My brother moving the hell out of our house. I don't know when...but it better happen soon.
3. Labor Day, simply because it's a paid holiday for me, and DH is off on Mondays.
4. Painting the nursery and getting it together...I know, I'm so behind....
5. The Holidays
6. My birthday, when I will no longer be pregnant, have our little girls, be out of my 20's, and Christmas will be in 2 weeks.
2. My baby showers.
3. Having the house put back together. It's been so disheveled while we have prepared the nursery, etc. and it's really starting to get to me!
4. Our maternity photo shoot. We've not had "pro" photos taken since our wedding day 7+ years ago so it will be nice for this super special occasion. I really need to decide what to wear hmmmm.
5. A prenatal massage.
6. This is not widely-known-news yet but I hope I can be safe here to share.... we found out last month that my brother and his lady are also expecting. They're due about 10-11 weeks after us and we are so excited that these little ones will grow up together. They find out the results of their genetic testing this week so fingers crossed for positive news! Can't wait for the gender reveal, too. OHHHHH the babies.
2. Going part time this second half of my pregnancy. I hate but I feel like I can't keep up with what is expected of me here and maintain a sane/healthy pregnancy. I'm talking to my boss about it tomorrow. Going to try for 2 days in office, 1 day working from home, so 25ish hours. I need.a.break.
3. Baby showers! I like presents.
4. I'm throwing a bridal shower for my best friend next month, so I'm excited to see that all come together.
5. Best friend's wedding. I'm looking forward to it but also nervous. It's November 5, so I'll be like 34 weeks. Yikes.
6. The holidays, because I won't be cooking and have excuses to get out of doing anything I don't feel like doing. Currently trying to sell the ILs on coming to visit us for Thanksgiving (I'll be 38 weeks so not driving 3 hours to see them) and for us to have Japanese food. All the Asian restaurants in our area are open on the holidays, so I figure that might be ideal. No one has to cook or clean! Hooray!
@swhiddon33 where in GA are you? I live in metro Atlanta and went to Georgia Southern.
ETA: spelling matters
2. Fall! Wearing boots, scarves and fall clothes! Fall food!
3. School starting (homeschool) and having normalcy and routine back in our life!
4. Starting our new year curriculum and learning/teaching new things!
5. Getting to be pregnant one last time. Feeling very lovely in this form.
6. Projects like knitting, sewing and general nestiness!!!
7. Meeting our new baby and seeing who it is? Maybe coming up with some more definite name options! Smelling their head, swaddling and feeding them and seeing them milk drunk... And know I did all that!
Due December 27th with baby #7
1) I too cannot wait for all things fall and cooler temperatures
2) my coworkers are throwing an after work shower for me on September 19th
3) painting the nursery walls and trim (well, supervising, the in-laws have asked if they can do it for us)
4) my family shower on October 1st
5) organizing her room
6) baby girl's arrival
2. Getting the nursery done, or at least me being able to put things together and start decorating. DH has worked hard at drywalling, taping/mudding, and painting. All that is left before the furniture can be moved in in new trim and flooring.
3. Christmas baking!!! Every year I bake about 13 different things in about 2-3 dozen batches and make trays to hand out at work, family, friends and then I always have a tray for when company comes over. I usually just book 3 days off work and go nuts but this year I'm going to have to start at the end of October and freeze things as I don't know how baking all that will work with a newborn or being 40+ weeks pregnant LOL
4. Maternity leave...I don't want to rub it in but a whole year off work sounds heavenly right about now.
5. Getting to meet our LO and deciding on her name. All the new adventures she will bring to our lives.
6. golf tournament this weekend, I haven't golfed at all this summer which is RARE for me...I know I will have to modify my swing but I feel like watching me adjust will be comical
BFP#1 & MC:August 2015 BFP: #2 10/01/2015 MC: 10/09/2015 BFP #3: 12/22/2015 @ 5 weeks MC/CP: 12-23-2015
Fertility Appointment: Feb 23/16, Hysteroscopy 03/02/2016,
BFP #4: 03/31/16 EDD 12/01/2016
2. Baby sprinkle in October with pink painted pumpkins, ye-ah!
3. I love fall and I'm excited for the pumpkin patches, sweaters, and better sleep with cooler weather! BUT I'm not excited for a snowy winter. I work for a conservative company so dressing is going to suck. They have a no-leggings rule (I know, effing cruel for the pregnant).Right now I'm loving maxi dresses and the thought of pants over my stomach in month 8 makes me mad.
4. I'm so excited to have a daughter in my life and see DH be a dad. Makes me cry thinking about it.
5. I'm weirdly excited (maybe more curious?) about this labor experience
6. I want to sleep on my stomach and my back and have a huge, cold turkey and avocado sandwich. With a beer. Followed by a glass of wine. And do some hard-core cardio and dangerous dance moves. I want to feel lighter in the bedroom.
Due December 27th with baby #7
2. Wine with brunch (there's an amazing new mimosa bar at my favorite cafe I can't wait to try)
3. Wine with a book and a hot bath
4. Mulled wine cider at Christmas
5. Prosseco at New Year's (also my birthday)
6. And sushi! (with hot sake of course)
