Re: Random GTKY
2. I am having a pity party over here. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with the thought of having these chronic disorders forever and having to deal with pain for the rest of my life. Endometriosis, Interstitail cystitis, migraines, Inflammatory bowel disease. Sometimes I wonder if becoming a parent was selfish because I can't be the best mom when fighting these things and it kills me to know I could have to watch my daughter to suffer with these as well or even growth hormone deficiency I had as a kid.
3. It used to be whenever the baby went to sleep. Now we go to bed at 830 or 9 since DH has to be up so early. Sometimes I stay up until 10. Sometimes I have to stay up to get LO to bed.
4. Candles-anything that smells like coffee especially these hazelnut ones from Walmart. Perfume/Cologne-VS pure seduction/acqua di go. Food-a nice potroast baking away and Thanksgiving Day.
5. Either eating out which we are trying to cut back on or Ava Nichol. I cannot stop buying things for her. She has so many clothes and shoes.
6. Part of me wants to say to a nice hot beach resort where DH and I can lay by the beach and drink and go snorkeling and just relax but I think I would miss Ava Nichol too much to be gone for like a week. I would want to take Ava Nichol to San Diego and take her to the zoo and other attractions. That stuff gets expensive but I really want to share it with her and then DH and I can still get some nice weather. Oh and I would bring my parents and little brother and our cousin that Ava Nichol loves (same age as my brother).

5. Baby stuff. I love buying him clothes, toys, books etc
6. Ireland. I would take DH, DS, and my parents so that they could watch DS at times.

2. Tell me something REAL about how you are feeling. I'm feeling very anxious about the results of my GD test. For some reason, I'm terrified that I'll fail it
3. What is your usual bedtime? Between 10-11
4. What are your favorite smells? Candles? Perfume/cologne? Food? Smells: anything clean (citrus, cotton, laundry detergent), lavender, apples, anything baking. Candles: Yankee candle and woodwick. Specific scents would be Macintosh, cranberry mandarin, and anything that smells like pine trees around Christmas. Perfume: currently loving Kate spade twirl. Food: pizza... Or chocolate chip cookies

4. What are your favorite smells? Candles? Perfume/cologne? Food? Coconut lime verbena from Bath & Body

Speak sweetly so that if you ever have to eat your words, they don't taste bad.

Lesson learned!!
@ream02 they have changed cocoa puffs in the last few years. They no longer have the sugary glaze coating and they get soggy twice as fast!

1. What is your favorite cereal? Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
2. Tell me something REAL about how you are feeling. Absolutely terrified about giving birth. I am afraid it's going to hurt super bad and that I won't be able to handle it. I know I am strong and I know I will be able to do it....Damn doubts need to leave the head.

Married Bio
1. What is your favorite cereal? Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Cap'n Crunch
2. Tell me something REAL about how you are feeling. I'm just really amazed and proud of my H lately. He's really stepped up and seems more at peace and calm with life in general. I really am excited to see him become a dad. I know he's going to be great at it, and that's probably one of the sappiest things I've ever said about him.
3. What is your usual bedtime? Any where between 9:30 and 11:30, depending on how my day has gone.
4. What are your favorite smells? Candles? Perfume/cologne? Food? Baked goods are always good to smell, I am not a huge cologne person, but I love H's body wash. I'm not a big perfume person either, but when I so wear it, it's usually a muskier scent, and I absolutely love Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel.
5. Where do you spend the most money, outside of bills, groceries and gas? Eating out, and craft supplies
6. All expenses paid vacation. Where would you go? Who would you take? Back to Jamaica. I'd take H, my sister and her H.

When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.
Baby Boy M - 08/01/2013
2. Tell me something REAL about how you are feeling. - Stressed and excited. Stressed because going back to work has been as obnoxious and frustrating as I'd expected. Maybe more so. Excited because I cannot wait to become a mommy and see my little boy! Those are my two most constant thoughts these days.
3. What is your usual bedtime? - I usually lay down by 10 but play on my phone until 11.
4. What are your favorite smells? Candles? Perfume/cologne? Food? - Favorite candles are all fall scents or anything apple related. Perfume is Hugo Boss XX and cologne is DH's... But I can't remember what it's called right now. Something sport in a silver bottle. He doesn't wear it very often
5. Where do you spend the most money, outside of bills, groceries and gas? - Definitely dining out.
6. All expenses paid vacation. Where would you go? Who would you take? - Mexico. DH and I had the best honeymoon in Playa del Carmen. I would do that 100x over. DH agrees.
True. I guess that was my FFQ. She really doesn't seem to want to check because she has never even mentioned it. Maybe she has a lot on her mind and forgets things. If I hadn't asked if my results came back from that one test she wouldn't had told me that everything was normal. She just always tells me everything looks good and that now it's waiting on isis to decide when she's coming out. :-/
2. Tell me something REAL about how you are feeling. I have never ever been this tired in my life.
3. What is your usual bedtime? 11ish. Trying to go earlier is tough!
4. What are your favorite smells? Candles? Perfume/cologne? Food? Love vanilla and lightly buttered popcorn. Also the ocean.
5. Where do you spend the most money, outside of bills, groceries and gas? Stuff for the house, probably. Or school supplies.
6. All expenses paid vacation. Where would you go? Who would you take? Either Fiji/Bora Bora, or back to Italy and go all around. Either way, I'm taking DH.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
