Looking forward to a fun weekend of Halloween activities 8. The weather actually feels like fall 9. Only 4 more weeks in the first trimester 10. We've got this fun, happy thread going. Thanks for starting it!
1. My daughter is so super snuggly and lovey. 2. We're having beautiful weather now! 3. I got a nice pair of maternity jeans for $10 today. 4. DD is going to my mom'a Thursday so I can get caught up on naps and housework. 5. My cat is super soft. 6. My best friend is moving back in town!!!! 7. We have free tickets to a fun Halloween event this weekend. 8. I have only thrown up 3 times so far this week. 9. My husband bought me chocolate chip cookies. 10. I have a dishwasher. Enough said.
Ten things is ambitious for me, but I'll give you three:
1. My H is a god-send, he's a SAHD and I usually give him a break in the evenings when I get home, but I'm useless and he caters to me and the girls. 2. My oldest is really helping out a ton too, though normally my children are always at each other's throats. 3. I'm super thankful for my job and its flexibility.
1. My oldest is driving me nuts with her inability to do anything the first time (or even second, third and fourth time) she is asked 2. My youngest is still in her pajamas she wore last night. Its 6:30pm 3. I'm itching like crazy to put out my Christmas decorations 4. I was also chomping at the bit to get my fall stuff out in the middle of August 5. I'm irrationally irritated with my dog every waking moment. She smells, so that doesn't help since her stench makes me want to puke 6. I CANNOT WAIT for Gilmore Girls next month!!! 7. Speaking of, my mom works with me and I'm thinking of declaring that a "not doing jack and vegging out in the basement day". Pretty sure she won't object 8. I ordered papa johns for dinner, only ate 1 piece of pizza and decided to finish off 4 of their garlic Parmesan bread sticks and save the rest of the pizza for lunch tomorrow. Omg so good! 9. The day before our bfp, we bought tickets for Backstreet Boys in Vegas for March. I'm insanely excited and even more so since this will be our first trip there with friends! 10. We're trying to hold out until Christmas to tell the ILs and my dad because I saw some super cute ideas on pinterest. I already caved and told my mom
1. I am officially done at my job that I hated and am finishing grad school for what I actually want to do! 2. My BF has been really great with helping out with DD at night. He works 7 to 6 and managing all of the house work, cooking, shopping, and my internship , school and DD has been stressful. He's doing his best to take on some of that work too. 3. We both have off and can go to my DD's Halloween party at school tomorrow. She's really excited. We are going pumpkin picking after. 4. I have 3 weeks til my first ultrasound. Im trying to be positive until then! 5. I bought these popcorn balls at Target today and they are so good. That's all for now!
1. DS's MRI results confirmed no tumor and it is a superficial (dermoid) cyst. My FIL works in the medical industry and is putting us in touch with some great surgeons for its removal. So appreciative for both! 2. I finally got all the components necessary for both kids Halloween costumes 3. DD is starting to show signs of a more mature digestive track so she is keeping down more foods. 4. My brother and SIL are moving back to the east coast! 5. My Christmas shopping is nearly done 6. I have half of Friday off so that I get to go to my kids' Halloween parade at daycare. 7. Have my first ultrasound on Friday and hoping to graduate to my OB. 8. Patriots won Sunday and are off to a great start 9. I survived dinner on Sunday with the ILs! 10. My kids are healthy and happy and that always means the world to me
1. After a few days of no symptoms, started to feel some nausea today 2. Ultrasound is tomorrow! I think I'm only 5.5 weeks, so realize it's likely going to be heartbeat-free 3. DD ate some lunch at daycare for the first time in a while (and was proud of herself for doing so) 4. Got to spend the weekend with one of my best friends and watch our little ones bond 5. One of my team members just told me she's super glad I'm her boss : ) 6. I got to laugh at my mom texting me about having a crazy idea that necessitated immediate discussion at 3pm on a Tuesday..it was ordering in Thanksgiving dinner instead of cooking it 7. DD slept for most of a long car trip yesterday 8. This board has been quite a good read today 9. It was taco day at work 10. Pumpkin donut holes. Enough said.
@Elyse1384 what relief! Glad you got some good results.
@Assiram42 my husband was almost a SAHD and most days I think he would have done a much better job than I'm doing.
1. My husband got me chocolate covered strawberries and they didn't last very long. 2. My husband just did all the dishes. 3. One more husband brag, he also took a detour to get me Jason's Deli for dinner. 4. After my son tried giving me a petrified cockroach our day improved significantly. 5. Less than one week until I (God willing) see this new baby's heart beat. 6. I only work 1.5 days over the next 13. 7. I did all my voting research and am ready to early vote tomorrow! 8. I re-learned to gif today! 9. I have been forcing myself to bed early and have been getting decent sleep hours. 10. I am determined to get a good workout in tomorrow morning!
1. H does all the cooking. 2. DD was very well behaved tonight 3. DD pooped on the toilet at daycare! That's two days in a row. Hoping to be diaper free before new baby arrives 4. I love my job 5. Called the OB today and scheduled my first appointment 6. Had a really delicious lunch out with work friends 7. Watched junk tv and didn't pick up the house. No regrets 8. TWD is back! 9. Completed some errands I've been putting off for months 10. I'm not even 6 weeks along, but I can't wait to wear my maternity pants. Sooo comfortable
@Mother0fDragons I feel you on #9! This fatigue is unreal. It was like this with DS but with the added nausea and morning sickness from DD. It is 9pm on the east coast and my ass is going to bed haha! No shame. Just none.
1. My son learned to walk yesterday and took 5 steps unassisted! 2. My son also learned how to navigate steps today. 3.

My husband has a date night set for us for Saturday night. 6. My first doctor appointment and ultrasound is now only five weeks away. 7. My hair looked good today, ha 8. I might be getting a sort of promotion 9. This is the first winter we have had a furnace in our house and I love it (we had heat before, just not very effiecint in a 100+ yr old farm house) 10. I survived a 10 hour work meeting today
1. No cheerleading practice or games to attend next week!
2. My students are really into the horror story thematic unit we are studying right now. They behave so much better when they are engaged.
3. My first appointment is Thursday!
4. I just found out my coworker is also pregnant and a first time mom too. She is 3 weeks ahead of me.
5. My dinner didn't make me nauseous tonight.
6. We have a leak in our plumbing and have to get a new main line installed. While this is an unexpected bill, I'm thankful we can handle it and it's not going to devastate us financially.
7. I'm leading a fundraiser to raise money for Pets for Vets that I'm super excited about.
8. My liver enzymes and Vitamin D levels are back at normal measures for the first time in a long time!
1. DD started crawling on all 4s vs her normal army crawl
2. She started responding with the word hi when I walk in from work
3. I get to work from home tomorrow
4. I've had very little nausea this time around
5. My BFF who is dealing with IF took my news of being pregnant really well. I was scared to death to tell her because I've dealt with IF and know how hard it is to hear once again that someone is pregnant
6. I survived a very busy day at work today
7. DH gave DD a bath this night without being asked
8. I fit in my pre first pregnancy jeans for the first time this weekend (that probably won't last but I'll take whatever I can)
1. Nausea turned to actually getting sick this week. Y'all. I have never been so thankful to throw up. 2. My intern quit. 3. My assistant and I have peace in the classroom. 4.

Excited for our date night next Wednesday. 10. So thankful to still be pregnant.
This may be hard, but probably good for me... not having the most positive day.
1. I'm pregnant! 2. My US Thursday looked great. 3. Gilmore Girls!!!! 4. 84% of the kids in my class are really sweet and well behaved. (Yep, I did the math.) 5. Nausea was MUCH better today. 6. My husband is off this weekend. (He works every other weekend, boo!) 7. I had cheesecake today... yum! 8. My husband is being so sweet trying to help me with everything since I've been pregnant. 9. I've been reading a book I'm actually interested in... I used to read a TON, but lately just can't get into it. 10. I have the cutest dog in the world. Just looking at him makes me smile.
1) I have my second ultra sound tomorrow as a follow-up. 2) DH took work off to go with me because he is just as excited! 3) I got extra snuggles with DS this morning because I opted to rock a wet braid versus drying my hair. 4) Toys R Us has a 15% off coupon code so we bought DS a play kitchen to get our Christmas shopping started. 5) Our Nursery custom shades came in today. 6) My mom caught this cute photo of DS and DH waving to each other when he picked him up after work
@Elyse1384, so glad you got good news about DS! What a relief!
@Mother0fDragons, I'm sure you're doing a lovely job. We're always our own toughest critics. Fortunately or maybe unfortunately my DH has myriad of issues he came home from war with and our DD has/had a seizure disorder, so it only made sense for him to SAH, especially since he still gets paid to do so.
1. I get to see my best friend this weekend! I haven't seen her since July. I'm also going to tell her the good news! 2. I'm going to Disney in two weeks from tomorrow. I'm so excited to see my niece and nephew's face for everything. And mostly to enjoy everything for myself, too, since I'm a huge Disney nerd. 3. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel for my kitchen renovation! Appliances and the island are the major things left to do! 4. We're having our second annual huge luggage sale at work, which means I get to spend the day away from my desk/usual tasks, and run credit cards. Always fun getting out of the routine! 5. I'm happy that I can still do crossfit, with modifications and less weight. 6. This cooler weather is THE BEST and makes me so happy. 7. My husband got his wedding ring resized because it was falling off in the cold and it's ready today.
That's all I have for now.
