Sometimes these are popular, sometimes they aren’t. You just make a list of ten things, and they don’t have to go together. I always enjoyed them because they’re always super random, but I like getting random thoughts out of my head.
1: I want more pickles... I’ve already eaten like a million this week but...
2: I’m still sad that Heath Ledger died.
3: I have a midwife appointment later, and I don’t want to get a shower.
4: I really need to get a shower...
5: There’s a genuine NY bagel sitting on the counter in the kitchen for me, and I haven’t gotten it yet because I’m still in bed...
6: My bed isn’t even THAT comfy, I just don’t want to be a parent for the first time since Wednesday.
7: MH is home for the day, so I’m taking full advantage of him. (I mean I’m giving him ample bonding time with his son)
8: J keeps trying to nurse, but not really and it’s just awkward and weird. He likes shaking my boobs around when he sees me and tried giving them kisses. No thank you.
9: I kinda want to get my nails filled today...
10: I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten more m&m’s this past week than I have in all the years of my life combined.
1. I am pretty sure I have been a major contributor to McDonald's lately with as much as I have eaten there.
2. We have two seasons left of Game of Thrones and the episode last night had pretty much the worst moment of the series so far IMO.
3. We are trying to eat healthier now. Which means I have to do most of the cooking. I don't mind really though.
4. We were supposed to have an ice storm or snow last night and we got nothing.
5. The Office is one of my absolute favorite TV shows.
6. I feel like I can't relax and make my plan on when to go to FL until these stupid amnio results come back.
7. Sometimes I wish DH would find another job that didn't require travel, but he would likely have to take a pay cut and we need the money with everything coming up.
8. I hate student loans.
9. I hate this client who calls every week griping that we did something "wrong". You don't even understand it yourself so stop griping at us.
1. I really really need to get my hair done but I just keep putting it off. And I can't decide if I want to keep the balayage or just go one solid color.
2. DS has missed his first 2 swimming lessons due to tummy bug issues and I'm hoping he can make it to the one this Saturday
3. I'm almost done my book for bookclub and it's really really good! "The Alice Network" if you're wondering.
4. I need to drink more water in the day
5. I'm desperately trying to do more Kegels even though I don't fully believe they work but I'm so tired of snissing myself. I have a daily reminder to do sets of ten starting at 8am lol
6. I didn't have craving with DS. I'd just get an idea of something and feel the need to eat it but the food item was never the same each time. This pregnancy I want ALL THE CHOCOLATE. It's so weird.
7. I'm trying to figure out how to talk to my boss about my pay range. Im supposedly in a leadership role yet 2/3 of the positions I direct work to are in the same pay range as me. An awkward convo to have a few months before mat leave...
8. I'm so happy I'm wearing high heels again! I took a month off of them when I pulled an abdomen muscle in December. I live in high heels.
9. I will forever Bump on mobile. I don't go on desktop at home typically and my work is pretty strict on websites
10. I finally finished 4 outline drawings for the woodland creatures nursery theme. I chose a bunny, a fox, a deer and a raccoon. I'm hoping to start laying on the paint (watercolor) this weekend!
@ivyvines6 I just did my nails! It had been months and months. I keep looking at them and getting confused because I'm not used to it. Like my hands aren't allowed to look nice or something lol
@sparklingdiamond I need a vacation too it feels like everyone I know is going on one right around now. So jealous
1. My husband got the stomach bug so he's been home sick yesterday and today.
2. We keep having weekend plans and putting off doing things that need to get done and I'm beginning to get annoyed at DH for making more plans with friends.
3. My car trunk wouldn't open for a week bc I closed it on my reusable shopping bag handle. (Now fixed.)
4. We need an electrician for like 6 different issues in our house but the price we were quoted per hour is ridiculous.
5. I have my second prenatal yoga class tonight.
6. I am still finding baby kicks super exciting, even though my husband I think is bored of me calling him over to feel them.
7. All this talk of book clubs is reminding me I need to get back into reading
8. I was going to not get my hair highlighted while pregnant, but I'm now thinking I'll get it done third tri.
9. I have to go to NYC for a friend's bday this Saturday and it is about the last thing I want to do with my weekend.
1. Why do my children betray me? We don't set alarms anymore because between the dogs and kids, we're always up around 6:30. Today I woke up at 7:15 in a panic because no one was up! DD and I needed to leave at 7:45 for an appointment. Rough start. 2. I want to nap, but also want to watch tv while DH is on parenting duty. Tv won... 3. Chili Fritos are delicious right now. 4. I worked out last night so I could do something with my mom tonight. She has bailed on me to go line dancing with her sister. Super lame. 5. Perhaps we should dress the kids in their 20 lbs of winter gear and let them play in the 6"+ of snow we have gotten the last 2 days. 6. I wish we had a bath tub big enough to cover my knees and boobs. 7. The next person to ask me if I'm pregnant with twins is going to get a backhand. 8. Am I alone in thinking Tom Selleck is still good looking? 9. Pregnancy hormones are ridiculous. 10. There's a zit coming in on the end of my nose. So naturally, this is what I think I look like.
1. My toddler is sick and threw up his breakfast this morning. 2. Said throw up covered blankets and clothes are in a pile by the door because I don’t feel like walking down the hall to do laundry right now 3. I should be doing a quick workout, but am watching bad reality tv instead while my sick toddler naps 4. I have a headache from eating too much sugar in the last few days, but that didn’t stop me from from eating Nutella off a spoon as part of my lunch 5. We are probably not going to leave the house today, and that’s ok with me 6. I forgot how weird baby kicks feels. It’s awesome, but this girl is kicking hard and already waking me up at night 7. I really need to take a shower, but hate taking showers when it’s cold out 8. It’s exciting to think that these babies are getting close to viability if something was to happen and they were born in the next few weeks 9. I have no idea how we are going to fit another kid in this apartment, so I basically just haven’t gotten anything for her yet, and all the baby accessories (swing, bassinet etc) are at my dads house 10. I am ready for spring, I hate winter weather
1. I still almost cry about Chris Cornell dying, @ivyvines6. 2. I didn't take a vacation last year, so I'm totally feeling you @sparklingdiamond. We've already booked our cottage for this year at the beach, and I'm positively giddy about it, even though part of me is dreading making that trip with a 2 month old (again. At least it's only one this time.) 3. @onesmallcoconut Oh, the snissing. Mine is so bad, but I just can't make myself do the Kegels. Even when I try, I do like, 5, get distracted and quit. 4. @mileswithmyles I literally had the same exact thought about Zac Effron. And Hugh Jackman is gorgeous. Love him. 5. @silverhope +1 on putting things off. We've been talking about going shopping for kitchen counter tops every weekend for the past month, and every weekend we end up not going. But we really need to do it, it's pretty much the Main Thing we have to do to get our house on the market. 6. @poppy0419 My bathtub sucks for taking baths. I'm tempted to make it a must-have on my Home Buying List for our next house, but I realize how unrealistic that is. 7. @suchaglencoco Tom Selleck will always be gorgeous. 8. My day is going pretty well so far, the package I was stressing out all weekend that I wouldn't get in time for a patient's appointment this afternoon got here over the weekend. And as I was walking out of the hospital from said appointment, the shuttle back to "my" hospital was just pulling up to the stop, so I didn't have to wait outside in the cold/snow. It's the little things today that are making me happy. 9. I still want a banana split. 10. My brain is no longer on work mode, and I can't wait to leave. Edited for tagging
Me, 35 Hubs, 32 Married June 2012 BFP June 2013- blighted ovum, D&C Aug 2013 BFP Oct 2013- twins! A&H born May 2014 BFP Aug 2017- EDD 5/8/17
@mileswithmyles I feel that getting out the door on time is gold medal worthy these days.
@suchaglencoco your 10 thi has are really hitting home with me today. DS only sleeps in on mornings we need to be up and moving. chili Fritos sound amazing, I wish I read this before I went to the store. Yes to Tom selleck. My hormones are out of control this pregnancy and I have So many zits on my face.
1. My 16 month old has been the worst napper for the past two weeks now. It’s like he knows I am desperate for that time.
2. I really really really need to make time to read a book, I have at least 4 on my nightstand.
3. All I want is junk food. Vegetables repulse me.
4. We find out if we are having a girl or boy Friday and I can not even contain my excitement.
5. I can not get the theme song from Topsy and Tim out of my head. But I am very thankful my sons obsession with The Wiggles has calmed down.
6. If DS doesn’t start sleeping through the night I really do not know what we are going to do when this baby comes. He is getting better it’s usually only once now.
7. Weaning DS is the hardest thing I’ve ever done and doing it while tired and pregnant isn’t helping.
8. I really want to hire a cleaning lady.
9. I hate doing dishes- currently avoiding a sink full of things we don’t put in the dishwasher
10. I hate putting away clean laundry- also avoiding many piles of clothes
@suchaglencoco nope. I've been watching friends reruns and he was cute then and cute now. Except he's not as good looking without a mustache, IMO. He goes in the good-looking older man category for me, along with Harrison Ford.
@clee5711 hire one. It is so worth it. We can only afford once a month right now, but it makes such a big difference.
1. There are four (4) signs at the turn onto the road my kids' daycare is on telling cars not to block the intersection and every blessed day they do. Every. Single. One. 2. Speaking of daycare, I'm tired of people saying daycare is raising my kids or they could never leave their kids somewhere "like that." Shut up. My daycare is awesome and putting my kids there was the best decision ever because they are trustworthy, caring and I can continue to work and not be an awful SAHM because I would be if I stayed home full time. 3. I'm totally checked out of work and still have four months before leave starts (give or take) 4. I've decided to stop going to dinner at my ILs every other Sunday. They're such disrespectful jerks and I could stay home and clean or sleep or whatever. 5. I cannot sleep comfortably this pregnancy. I really lucked out with previous ones but I'm paying for it now. 6. I think we will have to put our older dog down within the next few months and I can't deal 7. My children played really nicely together most of the weekend and it gives me hope that I won't lose my mind once #3 arrives 8. I ate waaaaay too many m&ms today 9. Why do husbands always spend 7x what they should at the grocery store? We needed five things! How did you spend $80?!?! 10. We got our four year old a tablet for Christmas and half the time I love it and the other half I want to throw it off a bridge.
1. @onesmallcoconut I started doing kegals when I read yours. By the time I got to @sandbar517 I had realized I wasn't anymore.
2. I'm tired of putting more effort to get my students to pass then they are.
3. Didn't leave school until 4:45 because I had a kid making up work last minute. And he didn't have 3 of the assignments I told him to make up this weekend.
4. I just finished a pint of Ben and Jerry's because that's real healthy for baby right?
5. I really want to make a yummy dinner, but by the time I get home I'm too tired and hungry to cook.
6. I refer to our senior class as "the bitches" because they're a class of majority of girls and they're always at each other's throats and back stabbing each other.
7. Some of the bitches made a comment about how many of their teachers have gotten pregnant when they had them, I wanted to comment yeah because they all want to have 6 weeks to themselves and not have to see your faces.
8. I ordered my breast pump from aero flow today and I'm oddly excited about it. Obviously I'm a ftm.
9. I ordered $30 worth of bottles from Kohls today because someone told me about the $10 off $30 baby products on here, i had $10 Kohls cash, and $10 for my birthday so all I paid was shipping. Yay me.
10. The things on the top of giraffe heads are cakes ossicones and they can have 2 or 3 on their head.
1. I pretty much quit wearing scrub tops to work, because my maternity tees are way more comfy
2. I came home today to all 3 of my kids in undies/diapers because my oldest (5) wanted them to be naked.
3. I'm ridiculously spoiled to amazon prime's 2 day shipping. When I order an item that's not prime I check status daily, even though I know it will notify me.
4. I'm bothered that we don't have a name for this little guy yet, by this point in pregnancy all of our kids were named.
5. I'm ridiculously proud of my husband for going back to school. He has a good job, but it will be so much better when he graduates.
6. @sparklingdiamond, I also desperately want a vacation, but I don't think this year would be a good time to go
7. We got way more snow here than we normally get. I love it, and I'm tired of hearing people complain, it's been 4 days. We haven't had any other snow in 2 years, other than a dusting last year.
8. We're trying to eat healthier, but I definitely sneak in sweets. My husband totally knows, and doesn't care, but I still try not to do it in front of him so it won't tempt him
9. No one showed up at our office today due to snow. I barely worked, and we had a potluck. Good day
10. I never used to really fear much of anything, except snakes, but since having kids I'm weirdly freaked out by the thought of taking a cruise and being on the open ocean. I always imagine one of our kids falling overboard. I've even been on cruises and loved them.
@onesmallcoconut - You will have to post pictures of your paintings when you are finished. They sound adorable.
@Sparklingdiamond - I am sorry that you are still waiting for results - I hope they hurry it up!
@ivyvines6 - mmmmmm bagels... It has been a while since I have had a quality one. I hope your appointment went well and thanks for this post it is awesome!
@mileswithmyles - I feel like the last person left who hasn't seen The Greatest Showman. I want to see it so bad. Everyone who has seen it has said it was amazing. Also, agreed Zac Efron is hot.
@silverhope - I am sorry he is sick. FX you don't catch it.
@poppy0419 - I miss snow days When I used to live in Virginia Beach it would barely snow and everything would shut down so they were always so relaxing because we never got enough to shovel - only enough to stay home and relax.
@suchaglencoco - Ugh! I hate starting my mornings like that. I hope the rest of your day was better. Also, I feel you on the twins comments. People keep asking when I am due and when I say May a get a look or a comment about how huge I will be by then.
@dem068a - Oh no! I hope your LO feels better soon! +1 for hating showers when it is cold. I bought a little space heater specifically for my bathroom so I can make it really hot so I don't freeze getting in or out.
@sandbar517 - your vacation sounds nice. I love going to the beach. We usually go stay for a week every summer but I don't think we will be going this year
@clee5711 +1 to the junk food! Bring me all the junk - especially Girl Scout cookies! Do you have a guess as to if its a boy or girl? I would love a cleaning lady too but we are trying to save and pay down bills so alas, I am my own cleaning lady for now.
@molly1108-2 - I'm struggling with sleeping comfortably too - makes me worried for what's to come in 3rd tri We also have a dog who is older and is starting to show his age more and more. I do not think he will make the year It is so hard when they get old.
@jhysmath - mmmmmmm Ben & Jerrys - Yes totally healthy
1. I am so over the cold weather - too bad it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. 2. My back/sciatic nerve hates me today. 3. I am really excited for my appointment next week. Yay for getting another US to see baby 4. I am trying to enjoy this pregnancy because I know it is my last but I am getting so excited to meet this LO that it is making me impatient and ready to get to 39 weeks. 5. I have eaten entirely to many Girl Scout cookies today - I might need an intervention 6. I have a pile of books I want to read but I am so tired when I get home that I get on TB then get ready for bed. 7. I am so excited to have some me time on Friday afternoon - it's my mani day 8. When it warms up I am so treating myself to a pedi. 9. I wish I could bottle up just an ounce of my 4 year old's energy - I could really put it to good use. 10. I'm excited for a girls night out next month we are going to see the new 50 shades movie. We all went together last year and had a blast.
@SaVy_05 my poor husband is trying so hard to eat healthy and start working out regularly and me being pregnant is not helping him at all. I’m struggling to cook let alone a healthy meal and all I want is fried food, carbs and sweets.
@glitzandglitter I could desperately use an ounce of my sons energy. Yes to 50 shades I went with girlfriends last time as well and it was so fun. Not really sure if this one is a girl or boy. It is definitely a very different pregnancy than with my son.
+1 for M&Ms and ice cream... any time, all the times...
1. I am having a ton of pelvic pain and pressure tonight... i can't do anything but sit. 2. I really need to pick up the house bc the cleaning lady is coming tomorrow (thank god) 3. DH is working nights this week. boo. 4. because DH is working nights I have to get DS to school in the morning before work, and that is always a challenge. FX we get out on time. 5. I really don't want to work tomorrow, but really shouldn't complain bc I only work part-time 6. My cousin and his girlfriend are in town this weekend! yay! 7. My mom is coming to visit in Feb! Yay! 8. There is a Milkmaids Good warehouse sale here this weekend, I am pretty excited for that! 9. Got some much anticipated baby girl clothes I ordered online from a little boutique. I think they are confused about what "cotton blend" means... one of the rompers feels like a wind-breaker. Um... no. No thank you. 10. Also got some items in the mail I purchased second-hand for baby girl, and THOSE are adorable, so at least there is that!
@ivyvines6 Love this idea! It's a fun way to get to know each other more!
1. I have zero motivation at work. I'm in HR, and people will come to me with silly problems about not having a coat rack near their desk and I want to tell them how ridiculous this 4 minute conversation is.
2. Our house is currently a hot mess. We are painting the nursery so everything from the baby shower on Sunday is just sitting in our living room before we can take it upstairs.
3. Our cat likes to chew on plastic, so no diapers (or bags of diapers) are safe unless they are at least 4 feet above ground level.
4. I am really starting to hate winter and the salt that we trek through our house.
5. As an add-on to #4, I love Swiffer Wet Jets that clean the aforementioned salt off the floor.
6. I 100% know where you are coming from @silverhope! I don't know want to do any travel right now. I want to either nest and do baby prep stuff or sit on the couch and watch dumb 80s romcoms.
7. I'm wrestling with wanting to go out and buy our baby books from our registry because I just want to start writing down everything, before the twins come and I forget where I put their baby books
8. I love all the book recommendations! @onesmallcoconut, I'll have to check out the Alice Network!
9. I am finishing my MBA before the kiddos come (so help me God, it will get done) but it's really hard to juggle all the baby prep, work, a hubby who is finishing his PhD, and my lack of interest in anything schoolwork related.
10. For our baby shower, my friend painted me a sign that said, "We made a wish and two came true". I opened it and cried, and now I need to find the perfect place to hang it.
@glitzandglitter, I don't know why people think we'll have twins again because we had twins once. Especially people that know our twins are ivf! Some people I know are just joking, but they honestly think it's an original joke which is more obnoxious.
So glad I'm not alone in digging Tom Selleck. I told DH last night about mentioning this and he just laughed at me and shook his head.
@suchaglencoco@sandbar517@clee5711 My 65 year old aunt and I both watch Blue Bloods and drool over Tom Selleck. Maybe it's his height and build or that sexy mustache he's had for 40+ years? Who knows, but it works!

9. I will forever Bump on mobile. I don't go on desktop at home typically and my work is pretty strict on websites
10. I finally finished 4 outline drawings for the woodland creatures nursery theme. I chose a bunny, a fox, a deer and a raccoon. I'm hoping to start laying on the paint (watercolor) this weekend!
@sparklingdiamond I need a vacation too it feels like everyone I know is going on one right around now. So jealous
2. If you haven't seen The Greatest Showman, you should. It was so fun. The music has been on repeat in our car all weekend and DS loved it!
3. I am oddly attracted to both Hugh Jackman and Zack Efron in the movie.
4. I thought I was being a gross old lady, but turns out Zack Efron is only 2 years younger than me!
5. I am looking forward to book club tonight (thanks for the rec, @onesmallcoconut)
6. I am really looking to book club after baby comes. We might be more of a wine club who occasionally reads.
7. I picked a hard stop date at work and it feels good to have a countdown and a deadline for me to get everything done.
8. Diet Coke has been tasting extra delicious lately.
9. I need to get my eyebrows done.
10. I am jealous of my teacher I am mentoring who had her baby this weekend. I want to be done!
2. We keep having weekend plans and putting off doing things that need to get done and I'm beginning to get annoyed at DH for making more plans with friends.
3. My car trunk wouldn't open for a week bc I closed it on my reusable shopping bag handle. (Now fixed.)

Married: 8/22/15
BFP #1: 8/22/17 | DS: 4/20/18
BFP #2: 7/14/19 | EDD: 3/18/20
2. My single jogger had a flat so I took the double, DD and 150lbs worth of dogs on a 2 mile walk yesterday and succeeded. Felt like superwoman.
3. I’m exhausted and blaming my toddler for waking up 628262 times every night. But really it’s because we stay up too late watching Sons of Anarchy.
4. @sparklingdiamond +1 to wishing DH didn’t travel for work. And he doesn’t even get paid more to travel. Which is stupid.
5. I need to stop snacking so late at night. And all day. I’m not hungry, just avoiding work.
6. I’m grumpy about having to buy a new dresser and topper for new baby because her room is significantly smaller than DD’s.
7. My kid has watched too much TV this pregnancy.
8. Jealous of people who have time to read an actual physical book. I survive on audible though.
9. RLP has me relaxing in the bath right now. Gotta love naptime.
10. 2 year old molars. That is all.
2. I want to nap, but also want to watch tv while DH is on parenting duty. Tv won...
3. Chili Fritos are delicious right now.
4. I worked out last night so I could do something with my mom tonight. She has bailed on me to go line dancing with her sister. Super lame.
5. Perhaps we should dress the kids in their 20 lbs of winter gear and let them play in the 6"+ of snow we have gotten the last 2 days.
6. I wish we had a bath tub big enough to cover my knees and boobs.
7. The next person to ask me if I'm pregnant with twins is going to get a backhand.
8. Am I alone in thinking Tom Selleck is still good looking?
9. Pregnancy hormones are ridiculous.
10. There's a zit coming in on the end of my nose. So naturally, this is what I think I look like.
2. Said throw up covered blankets and clothes are in a pile by the door because I don’t feel like walking down the hall to do laundry right now
3. I should be doing a quick workout, but am watching bad reality tv instead while my sick toddler naps
4. I have a headache from eating too much sugar in the last few days, but that didn’t stop me from from eating Nutella off a spoon as part of my lunch
5. We are probably not going to leave the house today, and that’s ok with me
6. I forgot how weird baby kicks feels. It’s awesome, but this girl is kicking hard and already waking me up at night
7. I really need to take a shower, but hate taking showers when it’s cold out
8. It’s exciting to think that these babies are getting close to viability if something was to happen and they were born in the next few weeks
9. I have no idea how we are going to fit another kid in this apartment, so I basically just haven’t gotten anything for her yet, and all the baby accessories (swing, bassinet etc) are at my dads house
10. I am ready for spring, I hate winter weather
2. I didn't take a vacation last year, so I'm totally feeling you @sparklingdiamond. We've already booked our cottage for this year at the beach, and I'm positively giddy about it, even though part of me is dreading making that trip with a 2 month old (again. At least it's only one this time.)
3. @onesmallcoconut Oh, the snissing. Mine is so bad, but I just can't make myself do the Kegels. Even when I try, I do like, 5, get distracted and quit.
4. @mileswithmyles I literally had the same exact thought about Zac Effron. And Hugh Jackman is gorgeous. Love him.
5. @silverhope +1 on putting things off. We've been talking about going shopping for kitchen counter tops every weekend for the past month, and every weekend we end up not going. But we really need to do it, it's pretty much the Main Thing we have to do to get our house on the market.
6. @poppy0419 My bathtub sucks for taking baths. I'm tempted to make it a must-have on my Home Buying List for our next house, but I realize how unrealistic that is.
7. @suchaglencoco Tom Selleck will always be gorgeous.
8. My day is going pretty well so far, the package I was stressing out all weekend that I wouldn't get in time for a patient's appointment this afternoon got here over the weekend. And as I was walking out of the hospital from said appointment, the shuttle back to "my" hospital was just pulling up to the stop, so I didn't have to wait outside in the cold/snow. It's the little things today that are making me happy.
9. I still want a banana split.
10. My brain is no longer on work mode, and I can't wait to leave.

@suchaglencoco your 10
thi has are really hitting home with me today. DS only sleeps in on mornings we need to be up and moving. chili Fritos sound amazing, I wish I read this before I went to the store. Yes to Tom selleck. My hormones are out of control this pregnancy and I have So many zits on my face.
1. My 16 month old has been the worst napper for the past two weeks now. It’s like he knows I am desperate for that time.
2. I really really really need to make time to read a book, I have at least 4 on my nightstand.
3. All I want is junk food. Vegetables repulse me.
4. We find out if we are having a girl or boy Friday and I can not even contain my excitement.
5. I can not get the theme song from Topsy and Tim out of my head. But I am very thankful my sons obsession with The Wiggles has calmed down.
6. If DS doesn’t start sleeping through the night I really do not know what we are going to do when this baby comes. He is getting better it’s usually only once now.
7. Weaning DS is the hardest thing I’ve ever done and doing it while tired and pregnant isn’t helping.
8. I really want to hire a cleaning lady.
9. I hate doing dishes- currently avoiding a sink full of things we don’t put in the dishwasher
10. I hate putting away clean laundry- also avoiding many piles of clothes
@clee5711 hire one. It is so worth it. We can only afford once a month right now, but it makes such a big difference.
2. Speaking of daycare, I'm tired of people saying daycare is raising my kids or they could never leave their kids somewhere "like that." Shut up. My daycare is awesome and putting my kids there was the best decision ever because they are trustworthy, caring and I can continue to work and not be an awful SAHM because I would be if I stayed home full time.
3. I'm totally checked out of work and still have four months before leave starts (give or take)
4. I've decided to stop going to dinner at my ILs every other Sunday. They're such disrespectful jerks and I could stay home and clean or sleep or whatever.
5. I cannot sleep comfortably this pregnancy. I really lucked out with previous ones but I'm paying for it now.
6. I think we will have to put our older dog down within the next few months and I can't deal
7. My children played really nicely together most of the weekend and it gives me hope that I won't lose my mind once #3 arrives
8. I ate waaaaay too many m&ms today
9. Why do husbands always spend 7x what they should at the grocery store? We needed five things! How did you spend $80?!?!
10. We got our four year old a tablet for Christmas and half the time I love it and the other half I want to throw it off a bridge.
2. I'm tired of putting more effort to get my students to pass then they are.
3. Didn't leave school until 4:45 because I had a kid making up work last minute. And he didn't have 3 of the assignments I told him to make up this weekend.
4. I just finished a pint of Ben and Jerry's because that's real healthy for baby right?
5. I really want to make a yummy dinner, but by the time I get home I'm too tired and hungry to cook.
6. I refer to our senior class as "the bitches" because they're a class of majority of girls and they're always at each other's throats and back stabbing each other.
7. Some of the bitches made a comment about how many of their teachers have gotten pregnant when they had them, I wanted to comment yeah because they all want to have 6 weeks to themselves and not have to see your faces.
8. I ordered my breast pump from aero flow today and I'm oddly excited about it. Obviously I'm a ftm.
9. I ordered $30 worth of bottles from Kohls today because someone told me about the $10 off $30 baby products on here, i had $10 Kohls cash, and $10 for my birthday so all I paid was shipping. Yay me.
10. The things on the top of giraffe heads are cakes ossicones and they can have 2 or 3 on their head.
2. I came home today to all 3 of my kids in undies/diapers because my oldest (5) wanted them to be naked.
3. I'm ridiculously spoiled to amazon prime's 2 day shipping. When I order an item that's not prime I check status daily, even though I know it will notify me.
4. I'm bothered that we don't have a name for this little guy yet, by this point in pregnancy all of our kids were named.
5. I'm ridiculously proud of my husband for going back to school. He has a good job, but it will be so much better when he graduates.
6. @sparklingdiamond, I also desperately want a vacation, but I don't think this year would be a good time to go
7. We got way more snow here than we normally get. I love it, and I'm tired of hearing people complain, it's been 4 days. We haven't had any other snow in 2 years, other than a dusting last year.
8. We're trying to eat healthier, but I definitely sneak in sweets. My husband totally knows, and doesn't care, but I still try not to do it in front of him so it won't tempt him
9. No one showed up at our office today due to snow. I barely worked, and we had a potluck. Good day
10. I never used to really fear much of anything, except snakes, but since having kids I'm weirdly freaked out by the thought of taking a cruise and being on the open ocean. I always imagine one of our kids falling overboard. I've even been on cruises and loved them.
@Sparklingdiamond - I am sorry that you are still waiting for results - I hope they hurry it up!
@ivyvines6 - mmmmmm bagels... It has been a while since I have had a quality one. I hope your appointment went well and thanks for this post it is awesome!
@mileswithmyles - I feel like the last person left who hasn't seen The Greatest Showman. I want to see it so bad. Everyone who has seen it has said it was amazing. Also, agreed Zac Efron is hot.
@silverhope - I am sorry he is sick. FX you don't catch it.
@poppy0419 - I miss snow days When I used to live in Virginia Beach it would barely snow and everything would shut down so they were always so relaxing because we never got enough to shovel - only enough to stay home and relax.
@suchaglencoco - Ugh! I hate starting my mornings like that. I hope the rest of your day was better.
Also, I feel you on the twins comments. People keep asking when I am due and when I say May a get a look or a comment about how huge I will be by then.
@dem068a - Oh no! I hope your LO feels better soon! +1 for hating showers when it is cold. I bought a little space heater specifically for my bathroom so I can make it really hot so I don't freeze getting in or out.
@sandbar517 - your vacation sounds nice. I love going to the beach. We usually go stay for a week every summer but I don't think we will be going this year
@clee5711 +1 to the junk food! Bring me all the junk - especially Girl Scout cookies! Do you have a guess as to if its a boy or girl? I would love a cleaning lady too but we are trying to save and pay down bills so alas, I am my own cleaning lady for now.
@molly1108-2 - I'm struggling with sleeping comfortably too - makes me worried for what's to come in 3rd tri We also have a dog who is older and is starting to show his age more and more. I do not think he will make the year It is so hard when they get old.
@jhysmath - mmmmmmm Ben & Jerrys - Yes totally healthy
2. My back/sciatic nerve hates me today.
3. I am really excited for my appointment next week. Yay for getting another US to see baby
4. I am trying to enjoy this pregnancy because I know it is my last but I am getting so excited to meet this LO that it is making me impatient and ready to get to 39 weeks.
5. I have eaten entirely to many Girl Scout cookies today - I might need an intervention
6. I have a pile of books I want to read but I am so tired when I get home that I get on TB then get ready for bed.
7. I am so excited to have some me time on Friday afternoon - it's my mani day
8. When it warms up I am so treating myself to a pedi.
9. I wish I could bottle up just an ounce of my 4 year old's energy - I could really put it to good use.
10. I'm excited for a girls night out next month we are going to see the new 50 shades movie. We all went together last year and had a blast.
@glitzandglitter I could desperately use an ounce of my sons energy. Yes to 50 shades I went with girlfriends last time as well and it was so fun. Not really sure if this one is a girl or boy. It is definitely a very different pregnancy than with my son.
1. I am having a ton of pelvic pain and pressure tonight... i can't do anything but sit.
2. I really need to pick up the house bc the cleaning lady is coming tomorrow (thank god)
3. DH is working nights this week. boo.
4. because DH is working nights I have to get DS to school in the morning before work, and that is always a challenge. FX we get out on time.
5. I really don't want to work tomorrow, but really shouldn't complain bc I only work part-time
6. My cousin and his girlfriend are in town this weekend! yay!
7. My mom is coming to visit in Feb! Yay!
8. There is a Milkmaids Good warehouse sale here this weekend, I am pretty excited for that!
9. Got some much anticipated baby girl clothes I ordered online from a little boutique. I think they are confused about what "cotton blend" means... one of the rompers feels like a wind-breaker. Um... no. No thank you.
10. Also got some items in the mail I purchased second-hand for baby girl, and THOSE are adorable, so at least there is that!
1. I have zero motivation at work. I'm in HR, and people will come to me with silly problems about not having a coat rack near their desk and I want to tell them how ridiculous this 4 minute conversation is.
2. Our house is currently a hot mess. We are painting the nursery so everything from the baby shower on Sunday is just sitting in our living room before we can take it upstairs.
3. Our cat likes to chew on plastic, so no diapers (or bags of diapers) are safe unless they are at least 4 feet above ground level.
4. I am really starting to hate winter and the salt that we trek through our house.
5. As an add-on to #4, I love Swiffer Wet Jets that clean the aforementioned salt off the floor.
6. I 100% know where you are coming from @silverhope! I don't know want to do any travel right now. I want to either nest and do baby prep stuff or sit on the couch and watch dumb 80s romcoms.
7. I'm wrestling with wanting to go out and buy our baby books from our registry because I just want to start writing down everything, before the twins come and I forget where I put their baby books
8. I love all the book recommendations! @onesmallcoconut, I'll have to check out the Alice Network!
9. I am finishing my MBA before the kiddos come (so help me God, it will get done) but it's really hard to juggle all the baby prep, work, a hubby who is finishing his PhD, and my lack of interest in anything schoolwork related.
10. For our baby shower, my friend painted me a sign that said, "We made a wish and two came true". I opened it and cried, and now I need to find the perfect place to hang it.

Some people I know are just joking, but they honestly think it's an original joke which is more obnoxious.
So glad I'm not alone in digging Tom Selleck. I told DH last night about mentioning this and he just laughed at me and shook his head.
2) DS has been watching the Secret Life of Pets. He's getting to the age where he laughs at funny things in the movie. I love it!
3) It's freaking cold!
4) I was up at 12:30 last night and didn't fall back to sleep until 5:30. Just got a 2 hour nap. It was glorious!
5) Send sweets!
6) I'm so ready to have this little girl! I'm not prepared nursery wise but I'm ready to cuddle my sweet girl!
7) This cold and flu season is terrible! Every time I turn around someone is sick with something!
8) DS just said "I love you bery much, Mommy!" Melt my heart!
9) Dinner in the crockpot no longer sounds appealing.
10) DH was off today and will be tomorrow too. Yay for family time!
