Ten Things Tuesday... Except I just realized it's Wednesday

Sorry everybody... I apparently don't know what day it is. I'll leave this up anyway in case anyone wants to join in...
Anyone want to play Ten Things Tuesday? For anyone who hasn't before, it's easy - just list 10 random things. They don't have to be pregnancy related, just whatever is going on with you!

Re: Ten Things Tuesday... Except I just realized it's Wednesday
2. I'd really rather my nausea hit before I eat, rather than after. Gross.
3. I think I'm going to tell work I'm pregnant next week... I'm nervous about how they will react because someone else in the department is also pregnant (about 8 weeks ahead of me).
4. Current music isn't really grabbing me, so there's been a whole lot of 60s-80s played recently.
5. I moved up my NT scan to about 2 weeks out from now, fingers crossed it goes well. We didn't do it with DD because she was a PGS embryo.
6. Today is Mean Girls Day ("On October 3rd he asked me what day it was" "It's October 3rd.") and today I learned I own nothing pink to wear, despite it falling on a Wednesday.
7. My computer has been broken for over a month and it's finally fixed! I needed it to back up my phone, because my contract is coming up for renewal
8. Today is day 3 of salads for lunch from Trader Joe's. They're so convenient, but also that's just a lot of lettuce.
9. We really need to get better about cooking at night. We're both exhausted by the time I am home and it's hard to be motivated.
10. Can I just eat cupcakes forever? Is that an option?

1. We have 4 appointments today. 3 for my son, 1 for me and I'm pretty certain I need a nap.
2. It's actually Wednesday.. Right? 😂
3. I scheduled my NCLEX (nursing licensure exam) yesterday for October 23 and I'm kind of terrified. Okay, really terrified.
4. I should probably be studying.
5. We're looking at places to move to here soon. I hope it falls into place soon.
6. I have telephone anxiety and I have calls to make and I really would rather not. So, I'll probably put it off until it's inappropriate to call.
7. This baby is making me crave fruits and vegetables.
8. I just finished the entire series of Mom and now I guess I really should study.
9. The first thing I did when I graduated nursing school was buy a Kindle and start reading.
10. I'm also trying to crochet, but I'm not very good at it.
That was harder than I thought it would be.
Good luck with your test!! And 4 appointments in one day is SO much, I hope they all went well for you! I used to know how to knit and would love to take it up again, are you teaching yourself to crochet?

1. We are flying to NYC Saturday for a 4 day trip. I'm excited, but really nervous. I haven't been in 15 years, and everytime I went, I had someone else guiding me and planning.
2. DD is driving us crazy with this one loose tooth she has. All she does is gripe and complain about it, but she wn't let us pull it. It wouldn't even take pulling, I could just barely lift the thing out of there. Two of the three teeth she's already lost I've had to finish off getting out bc an apple did the first part. I don't know why she's so scared.
3. DD has started Book-It as school and it brings back so many memories of personal pan pizzas from Pizza Hit.
4. I desperately wish I could get in another u/s before out trip. We plan on incorporating it into our announcement, but I'm still so nervous.
5. DD auditioned and got a part in the Christmas play at church, and we are so pumped about it lol. MH and I both did theatre, and we feel like she's headed down that path too.
6. My dad is having a major surgery on October 16th and it's occupying a huge part of my mind.
7. I have a serious problem with only watching the same shows over and over again. I don't move on to new things if I can easily turn on Gilmore Girls or Friends. Something so comforting about them.
8. We can't decide if we want to move. We want to be in a neighborhood that has some amenities like a pool /playground, but the market is so high right now. Would be great time to sell our fixer upper house, but man, you can't find anything to buy.
9. I really want to subscirbe to Sirius radio, but I can't justify that much money. It isn't linked in my car, so I'd have to pay the extra 5 for streaming. I need something other than regular radio though. It's so repetitive.
10. I seriously suck at cooking. I just don't do it because I hate having to come up with things (and I can't), and I hate how anything I attempt turns out.

@eatinwatermelonseeds Good luck with your exam!
@GeorgiaGirl1230 NYC will be so much fun! Hope you have a blast! I understand wanting all the ultrasounds. I want to do dna testing, but I still want them to do the NT scan too, and I’m not sure they’d do both. I was so anxious to go at 6 weeks to make sure all was ok, but now I’m like.. so is everything still ok? 🤦🏼♀️ I have Sirius radio, and I always talk about canceling, but they’ll give a good deal, so I keep it. It is also very repetitive. Then again, I only listen to maybe 3 different stations. Haha Hope your dad’s surgery goes well!
1. My motivation to do anything at work has been practically non-existent. I really need to get my ish together, but I just want to bump.
2. Our ice maker has decided to quit working, and our dishwasher isn’t draining water for whatever reason. I don’t have the energy to hand wash dishes, so husband uses the shop vac to get the water out. I figure he’ll get tired of it eventually and call someone to fix it.
3. I need to get back to walking on the treadmill during my lunch breaks, but see #1.
4. DS is hooked on Little Baby Bums on Netflix, particularly Wheels on the Bus, Ol McDonald and the “Shapes Song”. It’s the only time he sits still, and I’m taking full advantage.
5. I hate having no energy. By the time I get home from work and battle DS to eat some dinner, I just want to relax afterwards. I feel bad not being more “fun”.
6. I had an ultrasound 1 week ago today, and I’m already wanting another one just to make sure everything is fine. I’m also hoping they’ll do the Doppler at 10 weeks. I worry too much and hate the first trimester.
7. DS woke up at 11pm last night crying and calling us/wanting to get in bed with us. This has been going on for over a week, but 11pm was super early even for him. I feel like we’re creating a little monster, but part of me doesn’t mind (even though he’s usually an awful bed sleeper) because I like snuggling with him, and before too long, he won’t be “the baby” anymore.
8. Super excited I have Monday off for Columbus Day, and daycare should still be open. For once, I’ll have a “me day” all to myself!
9. We’re going to the fair on Friday with my BIL, SIL, and my nephews, so I’m excited about that. DS was too little to ride anything last year, so he should have much more fun this time! Also, fair food!
10. I think it should be a law that pregnant women get a designated nap time at work. 🤷🏼♀️

I'm impressed you all came up with 10 things to write. My 10 things would be more like #1-#10: I need a nap.
@bluesky24 1-10 with "I need a nap" is a completely acceptable list!

2. I take back what I said about having basically no symptoms aside from my 2 or so hour influx of every symptom in the world. I've been super nauseous since 11 last night and it hasn't eased up. I'm terrified of throwing up even though it would probably make me feel better.
3. I was drowning in orders and I just finished everything! I feel such a weight off my shoulders and I'm ready to take on the rest of my week.
4. My MIL normally takes my girls a couple days a week but hasn't been feeling well with BP issues so I've had them all week. She told me she felt well enough to take my naughty little 2-year-old today and I felt half bad/half relieved because my baby has been getting on my nerves. Thankfully all she does is play and eat all the food when she's over there so I know my MIL won't be stressed about it.
5. I'm taking my kids to the dentist for the first time today and, like the mother of the year I am, I forgot to brush their teeth this morning. So I'm bringing their toothbrushes and toothpaste to my MIL's house and I'm going to have them both clean those pearly whites before we have them checked out.
6. My husband is such a champion and has been doing all the dinners lately because I'm a wreck at night. I tell him all the time how grateful I am but I don't think I could properly thank him for everything he does.
7. We are planning a home renovation in January-ish and I'm terrified it's going to take a super long time. We are ripping out walls to add in a beam, gutting our entire kitchen/dining/living room area. We'll only have access to our den, bathrooms, and bedrooms.
8. Today I hid a black cord from myself inside of my daughter's black tap shoe. It took me 30 minutes to find that stupid thing.
9. I think I'm going to have ice cream for lunch.
10. Real Housewives of Dallas is on tonight and I'm so looking forward to it.

I feel like 10 things is going to be really hard...
1. DD1 has Awana on Tuesday nights which means she has a late night and always wakes up super late and grumpy as a result. She couldn't make it out to the bus this morning, so I drove her in to school for the first time.
2. I almost vomited all over my keyboard just before my lunch today.
3. We have a whack of beef in our freezer, and I'm pretty sure that at least the ground beef is freezer burnt. Twice, I've made spaghetti with it and it just tastes... weird.
4. The grade 2 class made some beautiful signs of various animals and put them out in our school's learning forest. They were ripped down and vandalized last night.
5. I increased the limit of books kids could take out from 2 to 3 and I'm paying for it in shelving. I have a great crew of library helpers, but I still feel like I'm drowning in books.
6. I think I might go shopping for some clothes that will fit me next week while DD1 is at Awana.
7. DH didn't realize that DD1 had worn her raincoat and boots to Awana last night, so he left them there. So, tonight, I'm buying some back up rain boots because it has been so so rainy the past little while and we can't wait a week to get them.
8. Of course, that means it won't rain again until it snows.
9. Sometimes, I get jealous of parents who work at the school their kids attend. I would love to see my kid throughout the day.
10. I should go do my boatload of shelving.

@k2k2tog FFWC: I see going to work as a vacation to get a little “peace and quiet” from my tiny tornado. 🤭
@msb615 me dats are the best! Enjoy!
1. I have been avoiding the this is us thread because I haven't had a chance to watch it yet.
2. I just had my first appt and it went well, but it was really just giving info and meeting the doc. I have to go back in two weeks for a pap and initial exam and for the life of me I can't figure out why they didn't just do all that to begin with.
3. I didn't get an ultrasound today, but I get to go in Friday for one. I actually don't really care to have DH there because I'd rather he keep the kids. (His work is pretty flexible - which is great.) I feel bad for not wanting him there though...its just more practical. I will have him come to the anatomy scan though.
4. I also love to rewatch favorite tv shows and movies as well as reread favorite books. My favorite shows are Friends (duh), the office, himym, greys anatomy...
5. I'm nervous to tell people we are expecting because I'm afraid they will be judgy about us having 4 kids. But we are happy about it, so I should care less what other people think.
6. I wore the same leggings and t-shirt Monday and Tuesday, but I don't care because I was quite comfy. I wish I was wearing leggings right now. I got rid of all my maternity clothes and of course I regret it. There are no stores near me that carry maternity clothes without driving an hour, and I'm plus size which makes maternity shopping even more difficult.
7. I'm planning to make beef stew tomorrow, and I'm very excited. I think I'll make some crusty homemade bread too.
8. My DH has been extra helpful lately even though he's been really busy. I appreciate him a lot.
9. Every time I think I have to vomit I end up just dry heaving. I think my daughter thinks there is something seriously wrong with me. She doesn't know I'm pregnant.
10. DS2 turns 4 this weelend and I have no plans for what we are doing to celebrate. I did manage to order a gift online today. His birthday snuck up and I can't wrap my mind around planning a party when I feel like crap.
2. The landscapers are here fixing a giant sinking spot on our yard that they've already failed fixing once before. I'm so over issues with our builder. Love our house, but buying a new build has been such a headache.
3. I really wish I could take a nap right now, but I have to be a productive adult
4. I can't wait to watch the new episode of Are You the One that airs tonight.
5. We just leased a new car and have drag our toddler to go back to the dealership to re-sign some contracts because they miscalculated our taxes and our payment is changing by a whopping $0.76/month.
6. I love the TV show Suits and I am so sad I only have one episode left in this season.
7. I really want a bubble bath.
8. I'm going to try to convince H that we need to stop for Mexican food after signing the contracts since we'll already be out and I don't feel like cooking.
9. I miss having a sex drive.
10. We're leaving on Friday to head to WY to spend the weekend with my in-laws and I am oddly excited about it. Normally I wouldn't look forward to a 5 hr drive, but I really love my in-laws and they always take such great care of us so I am excited for some relaxation time!

BFP# 3 Preemie DD born at 38w (IUGR) on 8/28/19 weighing 5.5lbs. Our little miracle
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.

2. I stopped watching HIMYM partway through so still don't know how it ends. Maybe I'll finish it on mat leave? I don't even remember where I left off, though.
3. DH is working late tonight so I'm picking us all up Panera for dinner like I did on Monday, but without the passive agressiveness at DH for saying he'd pick it up and then being an hour + later than he said he'd be without texting and me finally going back out to get it with DD.
4. Everyone was super amazing at Panera holding doors, getting me a bag with handles, etc. since I was carrying my toddler who was in her PJs...and I probably looked like shit.
5. After knowing I was pregnant at 3w+2 (took a cheapie the next day, FRER the day after) I can't believe I'm finally almost 8 weeks and have my appointment on Friday.
6. OP thought it was Tuesday while I keep thinking it's Thursday. I'd rather think it was earlier than later in the week
...that's all I've got.
2.Had my first ultrasound today! I recorded the heart beat on video for DH and now hes all sad he couldn't take off to go.
3. I may or may not have lied to my MIL today and tell her I was running super late from my OB appointment so I could stop and eat Panda Express. In my defense they took 5 vials of blood and I feel sick from it.
4.I wish I was more active on the board. But I am constantly running to doctor appointments for everyone and forever waiting in car rider lines. And if I'm not busy with that I'm napping and avoiding cleaning.
5.I still feel like I'm not really pregnant even after seeing it. Like its still so surreal.
6. I'm pulling the pregnancy card for everything now. IDC last baby I gotta use it while I can.
7.I completely love my new OB. I really hated the one I had for my miscarriage and my son. My nurse asked me today why I switched and I was just totally honest on why. Apparently its a problem with that doctor many women have had.
8.Pineapple popsicles with real fruit are life right now! I woke DH up last night from a dead sleep while eating one in bed. I may have been a bit too loud.
9.Shamefully I keep up with youtube momma drama. I keep following everything on britneyandbaby right now.
10. I feel like my pregnancy is a dirty little secret. My husband and daughter seemed excited but his family seems like they don't give a shit. I also found out today that my SIL can't be my L&D nurse even though I have to deliver where she works because we are family and its considered a conflict of interest. So glad its not possible she can be it!

2) Today is also breakfast for lunch day at school. Win!
3) I feel bad that I am zero help at home right now but my nausea has been so bad that I physically can’t do anything.
4) The fatigue is back. Not. Cool.
5) I’m going to Perkins for dinner to visit with a family friend that I haven’t seen since my wedding, so I’m super excited about that!
6) I miss my dogs while I’m at work. Imagine how I will be with this LO.
7) I started this post Wednesday and it’s currently Thursday.
8) Work kicked my butt yesterday between testing, the staff meeting, and the constant talking while I was teaching. I may have lost my patients!
9) I can’t stop eating! It’s at least every 1.5-2 hours I am putting more food in my face. My students have taken notice. The countdown to telling their parents has begun.
10) I’m still not looking forward to my BIL wedding this weekend. I tried on my dress and you can clearly see my blump. No one on DHs side of the family knows except his parents and brother, so it will be a long weekend of hiding my pregnancy. Not looking forward to it.
