Yesterday at the grocery store the cashier started going off on a long talk about how terrible the flu vaccine is and that it makes everyone sick. She's super nice and she brings her own sheets of stickers from home to give the kids who go through her line stickers, so I just nodded along even though I totally disagree with her.
My husband volunteered to take our son out for a bit tomorrow morning so I can work. I think I am going to nap while they are gone and claim to need more work time later in the weekend so I can actually get work done too.
I told my office that daycare is closed on Monday for MLK Day, but it's not. I'm taking the day off to go see a movie and hang out with DH (who has the day off).
I had wings and french fries for lunch today and it was seriously the best thing I've tasted in a long time! (I'm watching my sodium because my feet were swelling, but I just couldn't pass it up today!)
every time people ask how far along I am, I have to check the app on my phone because I keep forgetting.... second kid problems already.... I feel kind of bad because with my first I always knew down to the days.
also I spent over an hour today at work on etsy searching for the perfect baby blanket... TGIF
@nda_roxybabe I was going to add that at all of my appointments in the past week I've been told that my blood pressure is low, but not concerningly so. At the MFM appointment yesterday the nurse asked if I had been getting lightheaded/dizzy when I stood up and I said yes. She wasn't too concerned about it.
@nda_roxybabe If you naturally have low blood pressure, it starts to get even more annoying after you deliver. I would set off all the monitors and the nurses were constantly checking it (even in the middle of the night when I'm trying to get some sleep!). I mean I know they are doing their job and low blood pressure can be a sign of hemmorhaging after labor, but I'm tired and it's always low so leave me alone! Lol

I put DS to bed and then realized we were missing a necessary ingredient for dinner. I offered to run to the store while DH started cooking (we're having burritos and forgot tortillas, so not needed until the very end).
I already grabbed what we needed and am now killing time bumping and browsing Facebook in the car. I really don't want to help cook.

DH texted me asking if it was ok for him to grab a beer with a co-worker after work. I pick DS up anyway so I said sure, poor guy has been a trooper this week and last.
Then when we were about a quarter mile from home, DS threw up all over himself, his car seat, and the car. I cleaned DS up as well as my car but I'm leaving the car seat in the garage for DH to deal with. Not sorry.
DH went away this weekend with my sister and BIL, but I opted out because the point of the trip is to go to a Brazilian steakhouse and it feels like a waste of money if I can't eat the meat the way I like it (medium rare). I always miss DH when he travels, but I also love the occasional weekend where I have the house to myself.

Girl, get yourself some medium rare steak, @kns1988 ! If it's from a reputable place the risk is minimal.
maybe a related FFFC but last week I was in DC for work when I hit 20 week and I took myself out for a halfway celebration dinner at Ruth's Chris. Medium rare filet mignon and two giant sides all for myself. Their handmade lemonade is bomb too.
I totally would go for the medium rare steaks! But then again I've also fully enjoyed my feta cheese and deli meat too many times to count this pregnancy.

@Jen_Shoes I feel ya there! I seriously stopped reading one of the week-by-week books because it told me I shouldn't eat anything that's not good for me. So condescending!

nda_roxybabe - was your doctor able to give you any suggestions on how to deal with the lightheadedness.

My confession: I just ate my 2nd doughnut of the day. I'm not opposed to a 3rd either...
