1. It's Friday! 2. DH has the day off so he gets to do all the running around and dropping kids off at school. 3. My early gender scan is tmrw!!!! 4. I will also officially, officially be in the 2nd trimester tmrw! 5. My niece's and good friend's daughter's birthday parties are both tmrw as well. Fun fact: They were born 2 years and 1 day apart (niece is turning 3, friend's daughter is turning 1) and they both have the same name
1. I've had a weird week of sleep, but I slept pretty well last night and this is the most rested I've felt all week! 2. I was responsible for bringing cake for October birthdays at our office and had been stressed about what to pick. I ended up picking up Tuxedo chocolate mousse cake from Costco. If you're a Costco member, go get one... soooo good and everyone loved it! Office win. 3. We are going to visit friends and family this weekend! Can't wait to cuddle on lots of babies and show off my (tiny) bump! 4. SIL is giving us a free glider this weekend... score! 5. Only 2w6d till anatomy scan!! I'm feeling like it's a boy, but who knows and we'll be thrilled with either.
1. Yesterday I got to hold a 2 week old baby girl, who I saw come into the world 2 weeks ago. I love my doula job! 2. We have decided to seek out some couple's counseling, which might not seem positive. But, I think it will be really helpful for us and I am excited to be on the upswing again in our marriage. 3. All the parts of DD's costume should arrive in the mail today. She is going to be one cute Daniel Tiger. I just wish I would have thought up a fun costume. 4. I bought donut holes at the grocery store yesterday. So, today I get a delicious breakfast. DD's breakfast this morning is hot chocolate and donuts. Hey, it's Friday. 5. SIL has been doing the online dating thing for a few months now. She has tried out some not so great guys and passed up, in my opinion, some pretty good ones. The last more serious one was just a nightmare. Now the last couple of weeks she has been seeing a guy that I really, really like. I only just met him, but he seems the total package. So, I am more than happy to try and help that along.

1- I'm going to splurge on a late birthday gift for myself today. 2- I get lasagna soup leftovers today for lunch (it is honestly better the 2nd day). 3- My FIL is babysitting Sunday so, we get to see a movie. 4- We are playing the Packers this week. I love watching the Packers even, if they are going to beat us. 5- My baby girl is going as a panda for Halloween! She picked her costume weeks ago and we have been prepping her for actual TorT this year. Not sure how far we will get but, I'm excited to share this with her!
1. I'm living on a high from the anticipation of my gender ultrasound next week.
2. My library may not have any hard copies of my favorite murder mystery series but I found a whole slew of them on ebook from the library and am enjoying them for free right now.
3. It's probably coincidental but I'm loving how my dog keeps snuggling and sleeping with her head on my belly. Whenever this baby is big enough for forceful kicks, she's in for a fun surprise. Haha.
4. The nausea faded and seems gone now for sure, as of this week. I'm so grateful to be able to eat again!
5. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel at work. I'm swamped with events through November but December is usually really light in my area and I'm looking forward to that time where I'll be less exhausted and able to focus on baby stuff--because I'll hopefully be comfortable enough after the a/s by then to at least start thinking about it!
1. My boss is on a diet now, so I was able to eat 2 tacos! 2. I'm leaving early (even though I came in late) for DS's Halloween Party @ daycare 3. I was late to work(which isn't good) BUT I had a wonderful dream about cuddling with lots of puppies! 4. We're attending a Halloween Party tomorrow night which should be fun 5. My 16week appt yesterday went well and was able to hear LO's heartbeat
1.- It's Friday, and the costume contest at work today was absolutely hilarious! 2.- DH has the weekend off. He only gets this once a month, so it is a big deal for us. We are going to paint and carve pumpkins for our baby announcement. 3.- DS slept through the night last night, and he started signing "more" and "all done" on his own yesterday. 4.- I have finally told all of my family members I'm pregnant, so that feel like a burden lifted. I was quite nervous to tell a few. 5.- I have just been given a huge task at work. However it means that my company is finally complying with and taking a labor law seriously, which make me happy.
1. DD just ate a carrot and asked for fruit as a snack.. She's been soooo difficult foodwise bc my mom had been watching her a lot during dinner and if she doesn't eat she gives her junk "so she doesn't go hungry" so I'm taking this as a victory.
2. Beef stew for dinner. I've been craving comfort foods for a week
3. I haven't thrown up all day! Which means I get to enjoy the stew!
4. Hubby is buying me a new stove!
5. My mom bought us 6 boxes of diapers.. and a bunch of clothes up to 12 months (no 6 month clothes though as no summer clothes are out yet) but yay!!
2) We had our gender sono today and found out baby is a GIRL!
3) My husband is so over the moon excited and it's adorable. I can't wait to see him with our little girl and I can't wait to see DS with a sister!
4) My family is on pins and needles and texting me at work non-stop trying to get me to spill what we found out. I can't wait to tell them later!
5) DS is (knock on wood) doing so much better than I thought so quickly with potty training! #2 is still a struggle at times but even that is improving the last few days!
Bonus #6 - I am feeling baby kicks a lot more often the past couple days - it makes me break out in a goofy smile every time. I LOVE this part of pregnancy - especially when it's still where only I can feel it. I feel like it's a secret only the baby and I share. I am excited for DS to get to feel her though too.
1) I finally got to pee after fighting with DS to take a nap for the last hour and 40 minutes. 2) I redecorated my hall bathroom and I'm really liking it. 3) I'm feeling baby move regularly and noticeably, which is fun and exciting and makes me hopeful this placenta is posterior. 4) Halloween will be over soon, the garbage decorations will be cleared out of stores soon after, and the candy will go on sale. 5) I get to enjoy my husband soon because it's Friday and there's no home football game today.
1. When I threw up at work today, it was RIGHT before my students arrived (it's a huge fear of mine to have it happen in front of them).
2. We are taking the kids on a 3 day, 2 night camping trip next week. I told my team and principal today I didn't think I should go since I've been so sick this week. Another teacher stepped up and is going in my place - I'm so grateful! I hate being a burden but it's a huge relief.
3. Week. End.
4. 3 more weeks until Thanksgiving break!
5. I've been in my pjs since 4:30. I plan on trying to go as long as possible without getting dressed again this weekend.
