Five Things Friday 2/3

1. It's Friday!!!
2. I'm going out to dinner tonight with some friends that I haven't seen since before Xmas.
3. I'm REALLY looking forward to Super Bowl food.
4. I've been sleeping decently well lately.
5. Not sure if it's hormones or what, but I've been really sappy, in love, and nostalgic about DS. Every time I look at him, I just want to scoop him up and squeeze him to death (not literally). I'm already usually obsessed with him, but lately my obsession has tripled. I told DH last night, "We really hit the jackpot with DS. I'm not sure how Samuel could be anymore perfect than DS already is." His response: "Oh, you just wait..."

1. My boys are doing awesome - Miles is 3lb 3oz and Max is 3lb 13oz - and 31 weeks!
2. Doctors officially cut off 2 weeks from my due date - don't want me going past 38 weeks. But refuse to leave the April group -NOPE!
3. Having a work shower today and they will have a slideshow of my face photoshopped on random pregnant celebrity magazine covers. (I may have made them... :P )
4. Went to a breastfeeding class last night and I am UP TO THE CHALLENGE!
5. I'm getting super siked about the twins arrival. I'm feeling awesome, they're doing awesome, and it's all going to be awesome. Awesome. Radical. Tubular. (add in more 80s surfer movie terms for exceptional.)

@super_sam03 so good to hear that everything is going so well! What date is the latest they will let you go? March _____? And of course Max is the heavier twin

1. DD is finally feeling better after her UTI! Hopefully no more sickness for her in the near future

2. @kirstinh88 I second you on the obsession! I just feel such a strong love for DD and so much emotion when I look at her and I just want to hug her and snuggle her all day every day

3. In t-minus 1 hour and 14 minutes my friend is having her twins!

4. DH worked every day this week! It's been a slow winter for him so it's been nice

5. So far I'm maintaining control of my crazy work/housework/taking care of DD/being pregnant/taking two classes life...I owe some of that to vanilla iced coffees and decaf iced Americanos

HGRich · February 2017

1. I'm more excited about it being Friday this week than usual. I'm exhausted and ready for a weekend at home.

2. Finally, after 15 days, DH hasn't had a fever over 99 degrees for a full 24 hours. We may get to hang out together soon.

3. I was relieved of spelling bee judging duty and I am so excited. Much as I was looking forward to it, after this week, I don't have it in me.

4. Finally, the Etsy seller of my nursery prints has decided USPS isn't going to find my lost prints (30 days later) and shipped me new ones. So, if these don't also get lost, I'll finally get them!

5. Some of you know because I mentioned this in the ticker change, but DH finally agreed this week on this baby's name: Lucy Mariah. He hasn't agreed to let me share it with friends and family yet. Which is fine. I'd like to share with close family a little before delivery, so I want to talk him into that, but not sharing with coworkers and friends is ok with me. And he doesn't care if I share it here. You all can't spill the beans.

March 23rd! Hopefully I approach the date and they tell me I'm fine because I still want April Fool's Day... but I'm happy to meet them sooner

KirstinH88 · February 2017

@HGRich so glad YH is feeling a bit better!
@super_sam03 or you can have them 5 days earlier than that and have them on my birthday!

I'm so excited to hear that some people have definitive "no later than" dates! It makes me realize that our babies are so close to being here.

1a. DD woke up half hour early and spent the extra time snuggling with me.. 1b. asked for and ate breakfast and 1c. didn't fight about going to school.. such a great start to the day!

2. My doctor's office seems to have gotten their crap together since I called the other day. I'm almost getting too much attention

3. I gave up my shift tomorrow so only 4(!!!) Working days left until leave.

4. Feeling pretty good pain and mood wise today- my dog must be picking up on it cuz she is being super playful! (Which I love)

5. DH is amazing in so many ways. Went to the store with me today BC he didn't want me picking up all the heavy things we needed ( cat litter and water cooler jug) he puts my shoes on a chair before we leave so I don't have to bend to get them back rubs and all the little things

shaunessa · February 2017

1) Came into work late, bc I had a Dr.'s appt so it'll be a short day
2) Baby Jake sounds good and is measuring like he should @ 30 weeks
3) Had a massive potato, egg, & cheese taco this morning
4) Its Friday, DH doesn't have any gigs so we'll be staying in and having movie night on the couch
5) My doc said although the April calendar isn't out yet, she's pretty sure she can get me my csection date that I want (4/7)

@shaunessa All I can think about now is...

Hahahah!! Clear him from your mind! I mean, he wears khakis...and Jake G. wears...close to nothing most of the time....

1. I overslept and was late(r than normal) to work, but it's okay because I got to see DS in the morning before I left (DH usually takes him to daycare and gets him up after I leave unless he's travelling). He wouldn't stop giving me hugs and it was super adorable and just put me in such a good mood for the morning.

2. For once, we don't have plans for a Friday night, so it'll just be the three of us hanging out at home.

3. My AP kids have been having really good, meaningful discussions about stuff that we're learning about in class...I'm hoping that it translates to them feeling confident and articulate for their exams!

4. I am maybe sort of starting to make a dent in my maternity leave sub plans!

5. DH slept on the couch last night, so he didn't wake me up with his snoring and nonsense, so I slept great!

McFarKane · February 2017

1. My husband actually has tonight and all day tomorrow off from work! He hasn't had a night or day off to spend with us in over 5 months.
2. We get to have our family all here at our house tomorrow AND they're all bringing food for my DD's party so I only have to worry about making the cake!
3. My DD finally slept through the night in her toddler bed last night.
4. My husband went food shopping with me today - it was so nice to have help and now a ton of food in the house.
5. My house smells like freshly baked cookies right now.

McFarKane · February 2017

(We switched our party date last minute since my husband was able to have all of Saturday off.)

1) Uneventful OB appointment this morning. Baby girl is measuring right on track (fundal height 31 cm at 31 weeks!) and everything's looking pretty good. She even kicked the Doppler a few times for good measure.

2) We're taking a Lamaze class all day tomorrow at the hospital. I know we'll be tired by the end, but I'm excited to get a chance to practice some breathing techniques and work on them before the actual event!

3) Super Bowl (and Super Bowl food) this weekend! I think I enjoy them both in equal measure.

4) One of my sweet colleagues gave me a few baby items (a swaddle sack, a pair of PJ's, and one of those "diaper stacker" thingies we were discussing in a previous thread) that her young niece did not use when she had a baby and was living with my colleague.

5) We've been trying out the name Evelyn on LO when we're talking about her in private, and we both like it. I think we're going to roll with it. Shhhhh, don't tell anyone

@HGRich Congrats on coming up with the name! I love the name Lucy, but I think DH vetoed it.

@shaunessa I REALLY miss breakfast tacos. They are pretty difficult to find one state to the east.

KirstinH88 · February 2017

@schef070911 I absolutely adore the name Evelyn. I hope what I'm going to say next won't sway you at all, but I knew the sweetest old lady named Evelyn. DH and I both worked with her when we were younger and she was definitely that crazy, sweet, grandma figure at our job.

schef070911 · February 2017

@KirstinH88 No worries! It's definitely an old-fashioned name.

HappyAnjel · February 2017

6. I got my C-section date today! And BC of the new Drs availability I'm officially back to an April date! April 3rd!!!!

YAY!!!!

HappyAnjel · February 2017

@KirstinH88 It all just started feeling wayyy more real once I got that date.. and even though it seems weird I'm glad it was pushed back a few days. Maybe I'll go into labor naturally but if not April 3rd sits well with me! (3 was also my softball number when I met DH)
