Wonderful Wednesday 3/28

calimom2524 · March 2018

So many of our threads at the beginning of the week are about bitching about things. Don't get me wrong, I love bitching about things, but also, what's going on in your life this week that's WONDERFUL?! Let's hear some happy things!

Awe I love this! My parents arrived this morning and my sister and her family are coming in Friday night. Since I moved 3,000 miles away from my family 15 years ago, when I get to have all of them at my house it makes me super happy! Happy Spring Break

calimom2524 · March 2018

aww that's awesome @livinthesunnylife!! When I lived across the country from my family I was always the happiest when they came to visit.

My wonderful-ness is just me right now. Now that the drama with my family is cleared up, my car situation is fixed, none of us are sick (for now), I can actually just enjoy this pregnancy and life in general! I'm killin it at work right now and my kids are pretty happy which can only mean I'm doing something right.

windywoman · March 2018

This is a great idea! Thank you for this @calimom2524 !

@livinthesunnylife Enjoy your time with your family!

My mom is coming home from visiting my sister for 20 days so I can't wait to see her this weekend. She is bringing me some Girl Scout cookies and maternity clothes. Plus Easter on Sunday means Ham!!! I love ham!

I work in a sales position and our goals for the month are prorated based on the amount of working days you have for the month. If you have a vacation or are out of the office, your goal will then decrease to make it a bit easier to achieve. Because I was out for a good portion of the month, my goal was lowered quite a bit and I was able to surpass it by a large margin, which then gives me a good bonus.
I also had a meeting with our benefits specialist yesterday concerning maternity leave. Our benefits package got substantially better since DD arrived in 2016. I'm so excited for maternity leave! And our new baby, of course, but this makes being out of work a lot less stressful

DH and I met 3 years ago today. We would recreate our first date but it was all booze, nitrates, and unpasteurized cheeses. We're going to our favorite comfort food restaurant instead. I'm going to eat a whole mess of grits and biscuits.

proudparent2b · March 2018

I’m currently recovering from stomach flu, but DH majorly stepped up to take care of me, DS (toddler), and our pup. I hate being unable to help, but so thankful to him for being such a great dad and husband.

melprop · March 2018

Pregnancy exhaustion seems to have gone away! I got up at 5:30am and cleaned the kitchen. Then cleaned out the cupboards, fridge, and pantry. Made DH some almond pound cake, made myself homemade granola, and started potato soup in the crockpot for dinner. While the granola was in the oven, I sanded the drywall spackling I did yesterday in the laundry room. Took a quick break to make DS & myself lunch. Now I’m going to clean the walls in the laundry room so I can start painting after DH gets home.

I'm nearing the end of being in charge at work while my boss has been on vacay and I feel like I have done really well

I like to be the boss though, so it works out haha

Haha I'm the boss at work and I LOVE it. My kids love to call me mom boss lol. My oldest knows I'm "the boss" at work so he always tries to say I'm in charge at work but he's in charge at home...nice try kid.

neeraja_k · March 2018

So while I don't expect everyone else to get excited, I went for a brief walk through the forest and I found this little guy. The first morel mushroom of the year, I'm super excited! =D

juliebird6 · March 2018

Jumping on the family coming into town train! My brothers that live in New Jersey will be home for the weekend, and I'm so excited to see them! We haven't seen them since Christmas.

mrsbubbles-2 · March 2018

@calimom2524 - great thread idea!

So I've got all the feels today so bear with me...

My wonderful Wednesday is all of you. You are all so unique, so inspiring, and such a collection of bad asses that I feel so lucky to be a part of your virtual lives.
The support that is shown here just blows me away and I'm just so thankful that we all got knocked up around the same time.

Feels over, I'm going to go throw love-its at everyone's bumps now.

calimom2524 · March 2018

Look how far we’ve come!!! We’ve gone from my mean unsupportive parents to my mom buying baby clothes.

That just made my head spin, a ton of work done already! Nice

mrsbubbles-2 · March 2018

@calimom2524 - tears, actual tears. I'm so so so happy for you!!!!!!

juliebird6 · March 2018

@calimom2524 That's so awesome! I'm so happy for you that your parents are finally on board and excited for this baby!

carrotsandpeas3 · March 2018

@calimom2524 yayayay! So glad the attitudes are changing. Hope its all supportive from here on out. Hugs.

laurad75 · March 2018

@calimom2524 That's such great news. I know their support means so much to you.

I agree with @mrsbubbles-2 - my WW is this group. I feel so supported and loved. Thank you for lifting my spirits today.

lalala2004 · March 2018

Feeling so much more movement the past few days! And he seems to move a lot when I sing. We're going to go with he's dancing, and not that's he's trying to get me to shut up

hezzer78 · March 2018

@melprop Holy crap. That's like.... what I do in a week.

I'm pretty happy that I get a 3 day weekend. I'm going to use the time to write my paper for grad school - after that, I have one last super short paper to write and I'm officially done!! I'm so excited to get it overwith.

lolog531 · March 2018

@calimom2524 that is so amazing!! I'm just so happy for you! AFM - I just have a lot of little things. My SIL is coming to visit this weekend and we get along great, so I'm excited to see her. Her and DH have always been super close and she is the best with DS, so it'll be fun! We are getting 2 bedrooms painted tomorrow so we can start the transition for DS to his new room and setting up the current room to be the nursery. We are possibly getting a new car tomorrow if everything pans out. I also listened to the HB last night via doppler for the first time in awhile and it's such a beautiful sound. Each day I'm in less denial that this 2nd pregnancy is really happening! And last, I like having all you ladies to share it all with. I was so close with my last BMB (and still am) that I was worried I just wouldn't feel the same once I joined in here, but it's been amazing and you ladies are all rockstars.

livinthesunnylife · March 2018

@mrsbubbles-2 Awe, you guys are so awesome, I totally agree with this!

@calimom2524 I am SOOOOOOO happy for you! I knew they'd come around eventually the way you described them.

legallykate · March 2018

We had our quarterly birthdays celebration at work today so CAKE! I played the pregnant card and got both kinds to try.

ladygali · March 2018

@neeraja_k OMG I’M SO JEALOUS OF THE MOREL!!

Seriously, I gasped and gritted my teeth in envy, lol. I grew up in Indiana and mushroom hunting was my favorite spring time activity.

My good news is my new business project might actually be moving forward. Seems like a lot of the pieces are falling into place and I’m pretty excited about it!

livinthesunnylife · March 2018

@legallykate gimmmmme that cake. It looks so yummy

ashleyandjody · March 2018

@calimom2524 Yay, I'm so happy for you!

I'm super excited that I have a 3 day weekend

melprop · March 2018

@rocknrrollmom @hezzer78 I’m on spring break until next Wed, so I’m trying to pack a ton of work into a week’s time. I also have no washer & dryer until we paint & put trim in the laundry room. I have one pair of mat jeans that fit and maybe 4 casual shirts, so yeah... I need my w/d back ASAP.

scottishlass1213 · March 2018

I love everyone’s happy news! Great idea to start this thread!

aj1327 · March 2018

@calimom2524 your post made me so happy!

elsieisamoocow · March 2018

I love this idea! And I'm so happy for you @calimom2524! Happy hugs all around

AFM: DS has been so sweet and cuddly lately and I've been getting so emotional every time I think of him with his baby brother. He is so obsessed with babies and loves helping, I'm so excited to see their dynamic. Also, I've been keeping an eye on house listings around here, and based on what I think we have/will have in equity when we sell, we actually might have a good selection of houses in our price range. Prices seem to have dropped a tiny bit in the last year, and while it won't be our dream home, I think we could find something that will work well for our family for the next 5+ years in a good school district.

kburg15 · March 2018

We got a new car today and it fits in our garage. Double woohoo!

Also DS has been so good for the past week and I think it’s because he had a molar finally pop through. I’ve missed my sweet cuddly boy!

ecwk · March 2018

@calimom2524 great idea and IM SO HAPPY that things are getting better and better with your parents!!

@mrsbubbles-2 right back at ya

@livinthesunnylife I am also thousands of miles from my family, I’d love to talk to you about it sometime, I don’t really know anyone IRL who deals with it.

AFM My parents are also in town ATM and when they leave I’m going back to Ireland with DS for a week! Excited!!!

jsnakehole · March 2018

@legallykate I used that card too to have two cupcakes during a birthday celebration in class today. But my student was very sweet- she said I needed one for me, and one for the baby (the kids wanted to know what my baby eats, so I explained he eats my food).

ajesq2 · March 2018

@neeraja_k I can't tell you how happy that makes me. We're several weeks away where I live but just seeing that picture makes my mouth water!

Wow all of this sounds delicious. Rub some of those vibes off here!

calimom2524 · March 2018

DS2 is finally tall enough to ride his bike! Two weeks ago he couldn’t reach the pedals enough to make them go full circle and tonight just hopped on and started going. He’s getting so big!

rachel1008 · March 2018

On Friday it'll be 4 years with this beautiful girl

Secretstapler · March 2018

@calimom2524 I was just wondering how things were going with your parents. And then I saw those onesies and legitimately teared up. Then I was so happy for you, I explained your whole story to DH. He also thought it was nice, but I don't think he's as invested in you guys as I am.

@kburg15 Hooray for the tooth breaking through! I went through that a few weeks ago, it was so awful and then it was like a switch flipped and he was my sweet happy boy again.

I'm so happy for everyone else's good news, too! This is a good day for it, I have lots of things to celebrate.

I'm on vacation for the next two days! DH and I are going to take DD to daycare tomorrow and have a day date. We're going to get some lunch and see a movie.

And, my anatomy scan is Friday, so we'll finally get to see baby again and confirm everything is going okay. And we'll learn the sex!

AND, my twin brother is coming to visit this weekend! I'm really excited to see him, we haven't seen him since Thanksgiving.

pghctwife · March 2018

My white (cream really) dress from target came and it’s actuskly really nice looking! I tried it on without even a cami and it still was decent!

And there was a 40% code for loft today so I finally ordered jeans! It’s been a stressful day so that’s my happiness lol

oh! And cute baby clothes in the mail ❤️

windywoman · March 2018

Maybe we should do a "Weekly Wonderful" too. I love hearing about all the good stuff going on in all of your lives. I also think it might remind us all to be thankful and look at all the good around us.
That sounds really sappy but, I sometimes need to be reminded to be more positive and maybe other do too.
