I got exciting news this morning. Apparently my work will reimburse me fully for the price of a BOB jogging stroller because it encourages moms to be more active and get fit post-partum. That is one pricey item I no longer have to worry about shelling out for. Score!
@JNR6510 that is good news indeed! I had the Summit X3 Baby Jogger jogging stroller with DD and trained for a marathon with it. You will love it. I am looking at the BOB double stroller for my twins, but that price tag is scaring the crap out of me. Fortunately I realized with the jogger I didn't use it until they were about 6 months, so I'll have until this time next year to buy it!
Yay @JNR6510. Although I post the weekly Monday bitchfest, my morning was turned around when I felt my sweet LO move today. I've wondered before, but this morning I am 100% it was movement and not gas.
Today is a good day because I have discovered an amazing and super easy way to fix my hair. It's the new half bun trend similar to this:
But with curly hair it's super easy to do and I don't have to care if the wind makes my curls messy because it's a go-to messy look anyways. My pregnant life has just gotten a lot easier.
Today is a good day because Hubs and I are both off and the sun is out for the first time in a long time today! In Seattle, we've had 3 days with any amount of sunshine since the beginning of October....
@cmar1006 I was thinking that today... I'm not sure when to stop with the diapers at night, and I'm going to be afraid when he stops wearing them! But so awesome that your DD has been dry at night for so long!
My good news is today was a low key day at work. Plus this day is almost over here which means I get to hear my little one tomorrow at my Dr.s appointment
I posted in the weekly randoms about this, but I'm currently sitting all alone at home enjoying the silence. (Took a half day off work to make a doctor appointment later)

My best friend has been in Disney the last few days. All I can think about is this carrot cake cookie you can only find in one place, in one park. She sent me a picture a few minutes ago that she found it and they packaged it for travel. I will have it tomorrow when she gets home. I feel like I won't sleep thinking about it!
@Sprite2012 me too! Weather, not baby girl (but congratulations on your baby girl!!) I love snow and at least in Colorado Springs, we didn't get much this winter. But this spring weather has been awesome! I can't argue with the temps in the 70's. I did hear Colorado was set to have a warm spring though!! So maybe we will get lucky this year and have a nice spring...
Today is a good day because I got an email from a parent (I teach high school) that lifted my spirits. It feels so good to be appreciated for pushing my kids to improve, particularly when I am often seen as the "tough" teacher. Also, listening to Michael Franti always puts me in a good mood. Any other good mood music recommendations?
My critically ill patient turned the corner last night and it looks like she will survive.
My sisters sick dog just got adopted by someone who can afford the thousands of dollars of medical care he needs over the next few months! I'm sad he's not snuggling with her anymore but I'm happy he has someone else to cuddle with.

We heard a strong little heartbeat today!! Totally made my day. Also, I'm now considered a "member" so I can post! I've been following along for a month! I'm not sure why I'm just now considered a member since I have a 2 year old and was active on here back then, but anyways.....
Since this post was technically from yesterday, I had a big afternoon of spring break fun with DD. We went to Heifer headquarters and visited all the cute farm animals, had cheese bread at a pizza place with a friend I haven't seen in a while and her toddler, and then went to the children's museum and met Daniel Tiger. She was passed out on the way home, and I wasn't far behind.
Today is a good day because i finally cleaned the house up and am able to have all the windows open. There's only a short period of time between perfect weather and burning hell heat and humidity. So i am enjoying this while it lasts.
I'm late to the party but I have a couple worker friend who is due in May and she let me feel her son and I got to watch him kick her stomach. It was so exciting! Ok so that may be creepy to some but it really made my day.
Holy crap! So it's been a hell of a day, but I just went to our baby registries and four of the "bigger ticket" items have been purchased already! I think it must have been my step mom.
The stroller, the pack and play, the exersaucer/floor play thing, and the video monitor.
I'm equal parts blown away by the generosity, wondering when it will arrive and where I'm going to put the stuff, and slightly nervous because I still have so long to go still (I'm 15 weeks today) and is this "jinxing things"
Re: Today is a Good Day!
Today I made my "announcement " at work. So I no longer have to try and suck in my belly lol
