I was driving home in a construction zone and something flew off the back of a construction truck. Without thinking, I swerved to miss the giant thing that just flew into the road. I swerved into a barrier on the side of the construction zone. I was SURE that my front bumper was destroyed. Got home, took a look. NOTHING! My tire went up on it a little and that was it! I'm so glad that baby and I are okay and that my car is too. We didn't need another expense added to our plate right now lol... So... Whew!
@bnsmith85 Yikes! Glad you're okay! And your car too... you win, I was just going to smugly post about FI buying me a King Size pack of Reeses Cups haha
I found out this past week that I was selected for promotion to O-4 (Lieutenant Commander) in the Navy! I won't actually pin the new rank on or get paid at the new rank for likely another year, but just to be on the selection list is such a relief and exciting at the same time. Most of my friends who were up for promotion got selected as well. Plus, DH is already an O-4, so he'll be the one to do my oath at my promotion ceremony, so that will be special for us
We had to go to the beach to pick up something at a store we don't have and had dinner while we were there. I was stuffed, but I got a delicious waffle cone for dessert
I've had a tough past week for a few reasons but, I'm so lucky to have a handful of amazing coworkers who threw me an awesome work shower, and I finally finished all the thank you notes from both showers despite pretty bad carpal tunnel!
My mom is about to board her plane and fly up for a few weeks! Cant wait to see her!

So happy to be back at my original worksite this week. This means i get to relax a bit at work and finally get on here. Its been almost 2 months since i've gotten to sign on peacefully on here lol Hopefully my boss doesn't send me back out on another project!!!
DH has been an absolute rock star lately. He's putting DD to bed, washing dishes, doing laundry and cooking all without me asking (on top of his 10 hour shifts, taking care of the yard and pool). He has been definitely trying to help take some stress off of my back and it has been such a huge help.
Baby B is getting a neighborhood friend/classmate in March! So excited my friend has just announced that she's pregnant. I don't know many people very well who will have kids in Baby B's class, so I'm excited! Plus they live around the corner from us!

I was NOT ready to let DD go this morning because she was supposed to go to her dad's after school today. Well, he sent me a message earlier asking if I could keep her because his electricity got shut off- Boo for him, but Yay for me! I have my girl for another day!
@bnsmith85 glad you are ok. Good instincts and defensive driving skills there!!!
My DS is going back to school tomorrow. That's one of the last milemarkers I have until baby comes. Time is actually flying by. I have less than 40 work days until my due date and 56 actual days.
@ibabyloveb87 that's so exciting! We just found out my older sister is pregnant!! After her 3rd round of IVF! I think I was more excited when I found out she was pregnant than when I found out I was!
Was just called into my VP's office, along with my 2 Directors and Manager and they informed me that I am receiving a promotion! It came with a very nice raise! So excited, it couldn't have come at a better time!
Also all our home remodeling (for now) is all complete! Our new TV room has been complete with carpet and new furniture and is all ready to go. Just need to decorate. It's a nice feeling to have almost everything thing done! Just a few small things to do, then we can finally sit back and relax a bit before our son arrives!
It's been a good couple of days. Feeling blessed.

@mrskratt That is so awesome! My twin said she doesn't really want kids, but I'm secretly hoping she gets pregnant I know that sounds a little selfish, but I want us to raise babies together dang it!
@bnsmith85 I hope you get back to feeling like your old self again soon! I am thinking about mentioning my feels to my OB next week, I don't know if it's everything that has been going on lately or if it's just me and I'm being a lunatic, but everything either hurts my feelings, pisses me off, or makes my anxiety skyrocket. It's not fair to my family, especially my kids. They don't understand that mom just CAN'T sometimes.

That's about where I'm at now re: all the feels @AllyTheKid. I asked my bestie her thoughts on starting them back up bc she doesn't take anything if she can help it and she like jumped all over it and agreed that I should so I can get in a better headspace before Ella arrives.
@bnsmith85 I suffered with some pretty intense depression in the first tri and my dr. suggested putting me on Wellbutrin. I ended up not getting on it at the time, but kept the prescription in my purse, just in case. She said then that she definitely wanted me to start a month or so before my EDD though, to try to lessen any postpartum issues I may have. You just reminded me that I need to talk about that at my appt tomorrow - I think I may be ready to start!
and @AllyTheKid It's probably a good idea to mention what you're going through to your OB, just so they can be aware. And I'm sorry you're having to deal with this - it sucks, I know! It's so hard to explain to others what it's like to completely not feel like yourself, especially when you want to. I get so aggravated & frustrated when I cry or my anxiety gets the best of me, mainly because there's not a thing I can do about it and I want nothing more but to feel normal!

I submitted a proposal for policy change about a month ago where I work, and yesterday I received an email from the director of professional practice at my hospital and it has been reviewed and moved forward to the systemwide council...because they liked it so much they want the policy to be implemented not only on the local level but throughout all the hospitals in their system throughout the US! Needless to say it's going on the resume
Also re: antidepressants, I'm both excited for and jealous of you guys that are starting them soon. It's ironic that I'm too anxious to go back on something before DD is born.
@AllyTheKid I agree that this is something you might want to bring up with your OB. I have had a lot of anxiety throughout this pregnancy and my OB doesn't want to prescribe medication now, but I put her on alert for PPD. I also told a couple of good girlfriends who I trust to tell me if I'm being crazy PP. I've been feeling more stable now that things are better between me and DH. Anxiety/depression can also be situational, and we pregnant ladies just feel all those feels a little more deeply.
I finally broke down and bought a snoogie preganncy pillow. I always toughed it out with my last two babies but wish I never did. I found one for $39 on clearance and I just couldn't say no to myself. Had a great nights sleep (as good as it gets cause sadly it doesn't make you have to pee less)
