1. It's 10am and I already have a clean house and dinner started. I have my follow up at 1pm and I wanted to have everything ready before then but now I'm really lazy and don't want to get ready. Lol. FWP.

2. Since we moved we needed a vacuum, finally got it two days ago. It's awesome!

3. I'm taking baby to get her nails trimmed and painted after my appointment.

4. Even though I have dinner almost ready, I might go to qdoba later. Yum!!

5. DH gets on my nerves sometimes. I really dislike calling places for him. Lol!

6. I'm so sleepy.

7. TMI- I think I have a YI.

8. I am 99.9% ready for Isis to make her appearance.

9. My belly is getting really heavy.

10. I decided to breastfeed. I had originally planned for FF but not anymore. I'm nervous but I think the benefits are better than FF.

11. It's already really hot outside :-(

12. I hope everyone has a beautiful day :-)

1. My kid won't poop. I cannot give her an enema so I hope she gets to pooping soon.

2. For being so blocked up and having an awful rash she is still in a great mood!

3. I accidentally pinched the cat's paw in the fridge door. I feel bad but why was his paw in the crack of the door?

4. We slacked with our dog (both with attention and with obedience) and it was starting to show in his attitude. We have been putting in more effort and he is really improving. Bad pet mommy here.

5. With everything Ava Nichol is going through today I don't think the house is going to get cleaned at all. I don't care. My baby needs cuddles.

6. We have lots of play dates planned and I am so excited. One of the other mom's has a little girl . Months older than Ava Nichol and I can see them starting to form a friendship!

7. I love summer! I am not ready for it to end especially since we have had a really scattered summer but you ladies have me very excited for fall! I can't wait for Ava Nichol to have hot chocolate and Halloween this year she might even say trick or treat!

8. I cannot wait to move. We are still a few years out from it happening but it feels nice to be making progress towards the move.

9. My mom will probably move with us and that is super exciting! I don't want to live away from her but I don't want to stay here either so it is nice to know she is open tomoving.

10. The meds I am giving Ava Nichol for her rash are ones that I am highly allergic to. I get super sick. It freaks me out for myself and because I am nervous she will have a reaction too.

1. I'm freakin' exhausted.  This fatigue nonsense is no joke.

2. Today is only my second day of nausea and feeling like crap.  I don't know how I'm going to handle the next 6 1/2 weeks.  I'm a wuss.

3. All I want is chocolate milk.

4. Wanting chocolate milk means I have to go and get it and that requires getting in the car and leaving work.  That's not going to happen.

5. Thinking about food is making me sick.

6. DH is awesome and is totally on board with not going to a fancy dinner for our anniversary tomorrow seeing as whatever I get would be wasted.

7. My friend in my book club got us a "Muggle Born" onesie for LO!!  It's so awesome!!

8. Did I mention I'm exhausted?

9. I think this might be the longest day of work ever.

10. I'm so excited to go home and just lay on the couch...except DH is going to make me get up and go for a walk.  I know it's a good thing and I'll be happy I did it afterwards, but it's just hard to feel that way in the moment.

@bridget0117 Awesome job with your house and dinner! I am not a morning person and it takes a lot to get me motivated early. Good luck at your appointment!

Also, apparently all I had to do was complain about DD and she finally pooped! Not enough but it is a start Never been so excited to see a poopy diaper!

AshleyMatt1215

1) I started looking into daycare and I'm having a huge case of sticker shock. I really wish I could SAH.

2) Dinner is in the crockpot! I can't wait to have some yummy vegetable soup!

3) I go back to work tomorrow, I just had 5 days off in between programs.

4) My dad may come for dinner tonight! I love my daddy! He's hilarious.

5) I'm really not looking forward to having to be up at 6am tomorrow and look presentable.

6) I need to start cleaning out the room that is going to become the nursery, we're going to sell a bunch of stuff at a flea market in a few weeks and I need to organize it all.

7) UO - If baby is a boy, we won't support him joining Boy Scouts because of their stance on being openly gay. H is an Eagle Scout and won't put it on his résumé because of this.

8) I'm continually impressed by our guy friends with kids. They're a group of punk rock guys, covered in tattoos and live in band shirts - 10 years ago when I met them I never thought they'd be good dads. I logged onto Facebook the other day to see one of them with their child in a carrier walking around an amusement park. I can't wait for all our kids to grow up.

@madeline10L, I actually got super excited when you said tonight is a full and blue moon. Today is my grandmas 12 year anni of being gone and since we are naming isis kinda after her I thought it would be really cool to go into labor today. Lol. Also, my dr said first time moms can go a week past the due date, then she said "so you could meet LO on September 19th because if you go a week late, we will plan to get things moving that day". But any day is fine with me just not a week late, I'm already so over it, specially with this heat.

bridget0117

@wiggyslilsis, I'm not a morning person either but after DH left to work I decided I needed to get moving. If I don't then after I get home from my appointment I'll just sit on my arse and not get things done. :-/

I also hope AN feels better soon. I agree on cuddling with her instead of cleaning!

1. I don't feel pregnant. With both of my others I had m/s pretty bad within a few short days of my bfp. I feel nothing but an occasional af type cramping. And the craving for ice cream which I usually will pass on.

2. My oldest started her last first day of elementary school a week and a half ago. That makes me sad that she will be on to junior high already.

3. DS has not slept through the night in at least a month. He was doing so well until he got a cold. Since then, even though the cold is long gone. he wakes up at least once in the middle of the night wanting a dry diaper, his almond milk and cuddles.

4. I wish he would sleep through the night again so I can get a few months of much needed all night sleep.

5. I'm a little nervous about having a newborn and a 2 year old. I was just getting somewhat in to a normal rhythm with one. 

6. Sometimes I don't feel like a very good wife. I'm not good at planning for nightly dinners the night before so we often end up eating late. It really irritates DH. But I never know what I want that day, let alone the next day. lol

7. I don't feel like working. Today seems really hard to get motivated.

8. My line of work sometimes involves us evicting people. Sometimes people don't go so easily.

9. Sometimes it makes me uneasy when I have to deal with unstable people who feel like they've just lost everything.

10. Sometimes I secretly feel bad for these people. And sometimes I don't believe anything they say (and more time than not, shouldn't). Can make it very confusing.

1. I signed up for birthing classes today and found our pediatrician! I am so excited for the birthing classes.

2. I measured a week ahead at my appt today.

3. I want a brownie. I don't usually like sweets.

4. I have no motivation to get our house fully unpacked. I just don't wanna...

5. I'm addicted to the show Scandal now. I just watched the first season on Netflix. I think it was a little dramatic in the acting but pilot seasons tend to be. Can't wait to see season 2.

6. Our dog loves our new backyard so much that he never wants to come inside. Our rental house had a large backyard with a privacy fence, and here we have chain link so he can see everything around us. I have to force him to and then he seems restless or annoyed. It makes me sad that he won't just lay around with me.

7. DH is going to put the baby's dresser together today!

8. I can't wait to see and meet our little boy but I am getting sad to be getting close. I plan to enjoy every kick and squirm!

9. I have a FB friend that's driving me nuts. She had a preemie 2 years ago and constantly posts about how her birth was the most traumatic ever to happen and tries to steal thunder by posting on mutual friend's pg or birth announcements about how she hopes theirs wasn't as awful as hers. She's also pregnant now and will constantly complain about being pregnant and how horrible it is - a status for every symptom. I hope she doesn't have any friends that struggled/are struggling with IF. I have had to hold back from commenting about what an azzhat she is on about 432 occasions.

10. I'm thinking about surprising DH with a weekend getaway for our anniversary.

@ream02 I am so happy to see you back here again! I am pretty sure we were pregnant together. DD is 17 months. Oh and I feel your pain. DD went through a growth spurt and wasn't sleeping well and felt crummy but then when she felt better she still wanted me to come in a couple times a night and tuck her in, sing to her and pat her back. I had to be a hardass with her and let her scream a little to get back to STTN. She is back to normal so there is hope!

@Tudorrose11 Ooooh so exciting for your anniversary! I just planned a getaway for our anniversary I asked DH about it though because it is kind of disconnecting from the world for a bit and I needed to make sure he wouldn't get bored and stir crazy! What do you have in mind?

ream02

@wiggyslilsis DS is 16 months so we were right there. )  I've thought I need to do the cry it out at least to get him to bed at night, but I feel so bad. He likes me to at least be in the room until he falls asleep and if he hears me leave, he lets me know it. Yes, he has me under his spell. lol I know it's only punishing myself so I need to be firm. But Daddy will come rescue him if I don't. Need to get us on the same page and do some serious cry it out. I've heard of people doing that and their LO's STTN again just by them learning to go to sleep on their own. Now just to implement it. :-/

Bridget - Im glad you're going to give breastfeeding a try. I'm nervous too, but I just keep reminding myself that is hae great benefits, and it's free!

Ashley - I totally hear you on the Boy Scouts. DH and I are both strongly opposed to their views and actions over the past year. So far it seems like Girl Scouts are still okay though, so depending on how they are by the time little miss is old enough, we may have her join. I was a Girl Scout for a long time.

1. I went to my regular OB appointment today and Everything looked good!

2. I told her I don't eat meat and asked if that is a problem she said NO so I feel better about it now.

3. I love cheese-its!!!! I have eaten almost a whole box yesterday and today.

4.I just wish this house would sell already. But I guess we need to show it a lot for that to happen.

5. Even tho I am not eating meat We are having fresh BLT's for supper. I hope I feel like eating it when its made.

6. My friend's husband is going in for surgery in the morning. We are all worried it is cancer so that's I have been thinking about today.

7. I started blogging again and I forgot how much I like it.

8. I am so ready for fall.

9. DH just called and said that he won't be home until around 10 because they have sights out so I guess its BLT's for one tonight.

10. I can't wait until my baby shower is over. I have my sisters and my friends fighting over stuff already. I just don't care do whatever and figure it out without my help please.

sgautschi

Monkey - Im sorry your having drama with your baby shower. I wish people could grow up, this is supposed to be a fun occasion for you.

@ream02 I certainly do a modified version of CIO. We always put her to sleep before putting her in her bed. If she wakes up at night she gets tucked back in and our song rotation roughly 30 minutes of patting and singing. If she is not asleep by then I kiss her head and say it is time to go night night and walk out.

She screams as soon as I close the door. I let her cry for 3 minutes then go in and put her back to bed and pat her for one song. Then I leave again and up it to 5 minutes gone and then 10 minutes gone. I never go more than 10 minutes and if she starts to get worked up I go in because I want her to know that I don't want her to get upset and that I am always there. Plus she is very hard to calm down once she crosses that line.

Basically it just let's her know I will not stay in there all night and that it is time to sleep without letting her get too upset or me feeling too guilty!

ream02

@wiggyslilsis I like your method. I usually give DS his sippy and when he's done tell him it's time for bed and he kisses and then blows DH a kiss and goes over to the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs and waits for me. Then I hold him for a couple minutes and he points to his bed and says nigh nigh. I put him down. He usually will get back up a time or two before he stays down. I haven't actually gotten it in me yet to leave the room if he notices. I usually just come back over. That is what I need to work on.  He usually wakes up at least once. I change him, we go downstairs and get his sippy and cuddle for a few minutes. Most of the time he falls back asleep and is back in bed within 15-30 minutes. There are other nights we aren't so lucky. Guess it's all a teaching each other game. )

1) I have had an upset stomach all day.

2) Nothing but potatoes (french fries, specifically, but the ones that are more potato-y) sounds appetizing.

3) I cancelled my voice therapy appointment, even though I'm in amazing voice today, because I feel so crappy.

4) I ordered carside to go for dinner because i know I have to eat but i have no desire to go get it.

5) Tired...so tired...

6) I went into my new school today to see my classroom and what supplies I have. Oy...so overwhelmed right now!

7) We are telling our parents this week.

8) I need to schedule a boob sono.

9) I have to get all the paperwork together to submit for my district's opt-out for health insurance.  It's great insurance, but DH's is pretty good and they pay you to opt-out.

10) I have one FB friend who knows I'm pg.  She and I were 2ww buddies together.  She has a daughter, had trouble getting pg when they started trying for their second, got pg on christmas, and had a MC at i believe 8 weeks.  I have been trying to be supportive to her but she's very negative on herself and basically started online screaming at me today for things I didn't deserve.  I haven't been asking about her TTC b/c i know she's really sensitive about it and just trying to check in on HER to see how SHE's doing, but she keeps giving me her chart info and throwing it in my face, especially when her temp drops and AF is approaching.  She said she didn't want to talk about it and I said that's fine, you do what you need to do for you, and she FLIPPED OUT on me.  I know she's hurting, especially because we got pg so quickly and she's struggling, but her language really hurt me and I don't know how to handle it.

@wiggyslilsis There is a beautiful little town about an hour south of us that has lots of antique shops, down home type restaurants and is just very quaint. We have talked about spending a weekend there for as long as we've been together (6 years) but just haven't ever done it. Our anniversary is at the end of Sept. so I'm hoping the leaves will have started to change by then. He would love it!

@monkey1018 I'm sorry your shower is stressful for you, it should not be that way. Unfortunately I can completely relate. Both my bridal and baby showers have been stressful for me for similar reasons. Just let them deal with the nonsense and do everything you can to ignore them and enjoy your day!

wiggyslilsis

@tudorrose11 That sounds really nice...you should definitely do it!
