Oh! I like this. In the TTGP board, it was 10 good things and sometimes that was hard, so 5 is nice!
1. My dad is taking me out for lunch today. 2. DH and I are going on a date this weekend. Dinner, nothing super fancy, but its nice to get away. 3. A boring 1.5 hour meeting this morning got cancelled! 4. I'm copying @LittleChick2 and saying the weather here lately has been beautiful! 5. Today, I am still pregnant. PGAL brain motto....
1. As long as DD cooperates we are going to see my mom for dinner so she will entertain DD while I nap. (feeling so sick today so I don't want to adult)
2. H got a promotion at work!
3. I was nervous, but turns out everyone is super excited about this baby
4. It's not brutally hot outside
5. H surprised me with a nice backpack. I've been saying I wanted one for work instead of schlepping 5 bags with me. It was waiting for me this morning
Work From Home today means I can watch dumb Youtube videos all day as long as my email is up! RedLetterMedia Best of the Worst for me today - reviews of trash movies.
I just ate such a delicious sandwich and cookie from Subway that I'm seriously considering going and getting a repeat order. Meatball and pepperoni, and the fact that the idea of meatball didn't make me want to yutz seems to signify that my meat aversion may be waning.
Partner has been very encouraging to exercise lately, which is good because he had kind of been slipping into unhealthy habits lately. Yay!
Plumber visit ended up being literally 10 times cheaper than we had budgeted for it. Also he was done very quickly.
Finally going to order my new glasses. Hurrah for being able to see clearly.
This is fun! 1. I got a piece of strawberry topped fluffy white cake covered in whipped cream and it. was. amazing. 2. It's hot again here so time to swim! 3. My cold is waning. 4. Still no all day sickness like with my previous two pregnancies. 5. I got a new cancer support shirt today to celebrate my aunt coming home from ICU and hopefully getting back on track with her chemo!
1. Had a fun day hanging out at home today with a few friends and their kids. Was relaxing and they all played so nicely together...as nicely as 2 yr olds play lol 2. I have a whole box of yummy cookies to myself! 3. DD went down on time for a nap so I'm binging on Netflix 4. I'm going to ride my horse tonight, she is my one true love 5. I kicked ass at my kickboxing circuit training class last night
1. I am thankful that our baby's heart is beating and we got to see him/her today even if it was because of spotting and throwing me into a spiral.
2. DH now realizes there is a baby growing. Seeing the heartbeat made it real for him. I get more excited for him to see babe then I am for myself to.
3. I am thankful for kitty cuddles every night
4. I am thankful for DH and how supportive, loving and caring he is of me. It makes me so excited to imagine him with our future babe. I say now its impossible to love him more but I know in April that will all change
5. Food. I love food.

@HarryPotterandCats Totally agree with your #2. At the u/s today he got really quiet (I think it was sinking in), at one point he said "that's amazing" and he couldn't stop looking at the pics afterwards. It was so adorable and he's gonna be a great dad!!
1. We just got the clear to close on our house next week. This is our first home purchase so I'm stoked. 2. I haven't thrown up yet....totally wish it would stay this way. 3. I have amazing co-workers and staff members. 4. It's rumored that one of my toughest employees has decided to retire at the end of this year. 5. My husband is in the military and hates his job, but he works so damn hard to get to the next level.
Wait, I totally have 6 today, I forgot about one! I got my Stitchfix box in the mail today and my stylist sent me 5 super cute maternity pieces! I know it's still early, but I only get a Fix every other month and wanted to get a jumpstart. Now I'm excited for fall weather!
1. We have a big project going on at work, and it is going well so far.
2. DH has been working late in the evenings, so I've been on my own with DS for two weeks now. It hasn't been nearly as bad as I had thought it would be.
3. MIL tried to strike up a conversation that I did not want to get into, and I was able to give a polite yet firm response that kept things from going places they shouldn't.
4. I had a Jack in the Box eggroll today and it was delicious.
5. I'm having pizza with a girlfriend and her LO tomorrow evening.
2. Had a nice visit this morning with a good friend from work and got to snuggle her 1 month old baby girl. DD and her 3yo DS played SO cute together it melted me
3. I was introduced to the most delicious drink and am currently enjoying one: iced decaf white mocha Americano...with whip! Great treat!
4. DH has been really busy at work this week, which has been great because it's been pretty slow for him lately
5. My bff and sister in law and a good high school friend are also expecting! Baby central over here
@KirstinH88, yes, it is! We were supposed to close on a house last month and at the very last minute the sellers backed out on us. We had started packing, though, so like 40% of my house has been packed for almost 2 months. Plus, my husband gave our couches away, so we've only had our recliner to sit on in the living room. I'm just so excited for this next chapter!
1. Guys, I just got off the phone with my friend and she told me she's 12 weeks pregnant. I cannot believe we get to go through this together. Lots of excited squeals!!
2. We got to see the little bean yesterday and listen to its heartbeat. What an overwhelming experience.
3. DH bought me Popsicles.
4. I don't have to start teaching for another week.
5. My little pup is just the best little snuggler and enjoys taking three hour naps with me.
1. My toddler is potty trained! 2. My H has been the absolute best lately--letting me rest and tolerating my absurd sense of smell and food aversions. 3. I got my prenatal labs done today for my US/1st appt on Monday. They look good and I didn't pass out! (although I did pee all over my hand...so hope everyone gets a giggle out of that). 4. I got a new office in a better location and I found a hospital-ice pellet-type ice machine a few doors down! 5. We had a super fun mini-vacation last weekend as a little family!
3. I got my prenatal labs done today for my US/1st appt on Monday. They look good and I didn't pass out! (although I did pee all over my hand...so hope everyone gets a giggle out of that).
I'm glad I'm not the only one that can't pee in a cup without peeing all over my hand. I always feel like the biggest moron.
1) Everything feels much more real about the pregnancy since getting the u/s yesterday and learning all is well - in the best way possible.
2) I got Diclegis samples yesterday at my appt and I'm trying them out. I feel a little like a zombie (hope that improves), but I can already tell that my stomach is a little less sour.
3) I'm excited to tell my parents about the pregnancy this weekend. I made a super cute "frame" with a clip to hold the most recent u/s picture - if I remember I'll post it in the Announcements.
4) In-laws all visiting us next weekend, including my three adorable nieces (ages 1, 3, 5)! We're telling them then - I made the girls shirts that say "Future BIG cousin" and I'm going to add the EDD as well. I think they're gonna be really excited.
1. We are getting closer and closer to finalizing wedding plans! Woot woot! After being engaged for almost 2 years we're finally getting married!!!
2. My United Kingdom Marriage VISA got approved!!! Yay!!!
3. My FI is the kindest and most caring man. He is so excited for this pregnancy which makes me even more excited. He nicknamed the baby "Bean" and asks me every morning how we're feeling. He also likes reading the little updates on the app. I can't wait until he can finally see it during our ultrasound.
4. I don't have any appointments today at work! Yay!!
5. It's FRIDAY and we're going to get TJ tacos for dinner!!
1. I was able to pull off giving my toddler a haircut (not blended as well, but not bad for a first timer) 2. I got pregnant this time without having to use an ovulation kit (truly a little miracle)! 3. Work gave us free tacos today! 4. Its Friday! 5. I get to leave work early today!
2. Today is Friday, which means I can go to bed with the intention of sleeping past 5:45am!
3. I get to spend the weekend with DD. I miss her terribly M-F while I work.
4. Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Spice is back! Thank you little baby Jesus!
5. I've busted out my bellabands, and my bloated waistline is LOVING IT!! There is something so simply amazing about strutting around the office with your pants unbuttoned without anyone knowing it!
1. Despite spending my night and morning in the ER, I am so thankful that my in-laws were randomly in town last night so they could be here to take care of our son and the doggies. Seriously insane timing.
2. DH is off today and tomorrow...another godsend.
3. My 22 month old son keeps running around the house today with a huge smile, laughing, and giving me hugs. Seriously melts my heart.
4. The weather is finally cooling off in the mornings and it makes me excited for fall in the Midwest.
1. Saw a teeny tiny heartbeat on the US this morning. Only six week so I will see again in two weeks.
2. I am currently eating pizza in a comfy chair with my feet up.
3. My two year old wants to "nuggle momma" and watch a movie tonight ... Done and done
4. My whole family is coming next weekend for my dad's 70th birthday. The perks of living on the coast is everyone wants to come to you for special occasions. We are going to tell them then.
This is cute! I want to play! Mine are simple: 1. It's Friday! 2. I survived the first week of Kindergarten! 3. Tomorrow is Saturday and the next is Sunday! 4. That means I get to spend the whole weekend with R! 5. Sleep is near! Naps are in my future for the next two days!
1. My kiddos come back to class tomorrow. I had the best class I've ever had last year, and I'm cycling up with them this year!
2. My sister called me this week to say her and her wife are starting fertility appointments! She doesn't know I'm pregnant but I'm excited that these 2 cousins will be close in age.
3. My husband and I are starting to plan a baby moon.
4. My first doctors appointment is Wednesday evening. It's with the Doctor that did my hsg that showed my tubes were potentially blocked. I was supposed to have surgery in 2 weeks for it. I'm excited to tell her I'm part of the 15% where it's a false positive!
5. I'm skyping with my dad today. Hoping he will come visit this year!
