1. DH's work gave him tickets to the Blues vs Jets game tomorrow so we're going on our first date in a long time
2. I'm going to work today despite not feeling great still so DD is going to my sister's place, and my sister's friend is bringing her DD over so they can have a play date
3. After a scary week with my grandpa being sick he's doing much much better!
4. DH is doing amazing at working on our home renos
5. DD climbed in my lap and snuggled my belly and said hi baby I'm so excited to meet you! I completely melted
1. I haven't caught DH's stomach bug so far. Haha. I hope I don't because his parents are supposed to come visit tomorrow and I have some real cleaning to do. There's so much pressure when you're a perfectionist and you know your MIL is a germophobe!
2. This baby is so active. My PGAL brain is just so grateful for that. I've realized that she's definitely a night owl, as she'll give me little "hi Mom" pokes throughout the day but doesn't turn into the dancing queen until about 10pm... which lasts until around 6am and I'm fully aware of it as I toss and turn all night and get up to pee. Ha.
3. The weather, while still without sunshine, is warmer!
4. Finally a date is set for my work shower. Second week of March. Which feels super late but I'm trying not to panic. My friends and family shower I still don't have a date for and I'm trying not to panic about that either! I'm afraid it also won't be until March and I'll only have a few weeks to fill in the gaps and put everything away. I have nothing for this child still. Wait, that's negative. Ok, the positive is that I will be getting showers and I'm grateful for that, whenever they are!
5. I've been calling baby girl by our top name for weeks now, and it really seems like it's going to stick. DH is so afraid to commit to a name so I think I'll just keep calling her this myself and watch him panic as April rolls around. lol.
1. President Donald J Trump 2. No boss this week 3. DH has a union meeting tonight so I get to lay on the couch in silence 4. I had a delicious soda this morning. Doesn't happen often but it was tasty 5. 3 hours left of this work day then time for my pajamas
1. Cozy rainy day in sweatpants 2. It's Friday so DH might be home at a reasonable hour. 3. We have ridiculous amounts of leftovers so I don't have to cook tonight. 4. There is no snow to shovel. 5. I finally wrote a birth plan
@wagnerw It scares me to think that 35-40 degrees is warm enough to just wear long sleeves. I could never live outside of my CA bubble. Its 48 degrees right now, windy and rainy and I need a long sleeve and a coat/sweater/jacket and I'm still cold!
1. It's the weekend and DH doesn't have to work this one! Woohoo!
2. Got shipping notifications for all the nursery decor I have ordered, can't wait for it to get here!
3. It was a beautiful sunny crisp day here today, I love days like that. It was super cold though!
4. For once my house is clean, the laundry is done, and the grocery shopping is done all at the same time! Not sure where I got the motivation but I did it!
5. Brunch with friends tomorrow morning and I'm looking forward to that!
@wagnerw This is me being overdramatic, but... WHHHHYYYY would anyone live anywhere that is THAT cold! hahaha I definitely complained about my 48 degrees today. I want my 90 degree days back! I can't wait for April-September just for the decent (in my book) weather.
@KirstinH88 trust me, if I could live where the temperature never got below 40, I would move in a heartbeat. I went on vacation to SoCal in 2014 and thought I was in heaven. I loathe winter with every fiber of my being. But it's just not practical for us to move, DH has no problem with winter, and all my family is here. So each year as winter rolls around my skin dries out and cracks and my seasonal depression kicks in, I'll think of all you lucky people in the southern parts and try not to cry.
1. I am so so so happy to just relax this weekend!
2. My shower has an official date, March 12th! So exciting
3. DH mentioned how it's almost Valentine's Day and once that's over, stores are going to be putting out Easter stuff. It's really hitting home that we're getting so close to baby's arrival!
4. I caved and treated myself to some more maternity clothes since I can't get away with wearing any of my pre-pregnancy shirts anymore. It's such a nice feeling having more than 2 shirts that fit haha
5. My boss has been more considerate of my workload since yesterday and kind of backed off me for a bit, so I was able to catch up on SO MUCH today! I'm feeling really accomplished!
@KirstinH88 I never said I enjoyed the cold. Trust me, I am not a fan and stay inside as much as possible.
@HGRich yes to everything you just said. I would gladly be somewhere warmer. And my dry skin is especially awful this year with pregnancy. I'm pretty sure DH used almost half a bottle of lotion on my back last night. Or at least that's what it felt like.
1. My gastro appointment went well and I don't have to see him again (unless there's an issue) until after baby is born.
2. I only woke up twice last night to pee.. that sounds negative but I've been waking up for hours in the middle of the night so best sleep I've had!
3. DH agreed I should take a few extra weeks off to prepare and spend some time with DD.. so one more month and I'll be on maternity leave!
4. Found new sneakers for DD she likes. We tried three malls and couldn't find anything in her size... we've always had next size up shoes at the ready but she outgrew her shoes too quick this time!
1. It's Friday and I only had to work 3.5 days this week. 2. I ate at my favorite Thai restaurant tonight and it was amazing! 3. I bought my first Moby Wrap today and I'm excited to try it out. 4. I went all out this morning and got a tall coffee AND a strawberry acai refresher from Starbucks. 5. It was pay day today, can you tell? ^^^^^

2. I get to snuggle my 2.5yo while watching cartoons. She's such a mommy's girl--I love it!
3. My husband has been working tirelessly to get our condo ready to sell. I admire him a lot for it because I feel useless.
4. My almost-5yo is at preschool so I don't have to entertain two kids!
5. No child peed the bed

3. We are headed home for the weekend for a baby shower
4. DH has been super cute about baby stuff for the last few days. I'm so excited to see him as a dad.
5. The weather has been so nice the last few days that I haven't been wearing a coat, just long sleeves. A solid 35-40 degrees
