Ten Things Tuesday

1. My doctor did not call me yesterday about if the endocrinologist will see me ornot. I really want to talk to him about a new symptom so I may have to call today if I don't hear from him.

2. I have so much to do today but I feel like crap. :(

3. DD is so much fun to be around now I love it. I am laughing at her constantly and she is just too darn cute.

4. I am having a tough time deciding whatto do for Ava Nichol's ccostume this year. My mom wants to make her Boo in her monster costume from Monsters Inc but I don't really want to start doing cartoons yet since I am sure she will wantto be cartoon characters soon eenough.

5. I am trying a new recipe tonight. I hope we like it!

6. DH came home and put laundry away and cleaned and vaccuumed the living room. It was awesome and I very much appreciate it but I wish he would do more stuff regularly not just when he notices me getting overwhelmed. I also wish he wouldn't look at it as "helping" me out. Uhm excuse me but it is your mess, your house and your kid too.

7. I have been drinking more water lately. I am not very good about this so it is definitely a change for me.

8. We have a play date tomorrow at a park next to a lake. I am nervous about bringing Ava Nichol to a lake because shehas only been swimming in the bathtub and in a little pool with a few inches of water.

9. I want to host a pplay date for a Halloween party and one closer to Christmas for cookie decorating but I am new to the group and live kinda far out so I am afraid no one would want to drive all the way out here.

10. I can't wait until DD learns to clean up after herself. My living room looks like it blew up minutes after cleaning it up all the time. She cleans up and knows to put stuff away but you have to help her and encourage her to do it. She is doing really well for her age. I am just looking forward to when she can do it herself!

Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1. Our birthing class is tonight and it's the one with breathing and relaxation techniques during labor. I am super excited for it.

    2. Baby has been more active the last two days than ever before! I am so in love with it and realizing how much I will miss that.

    3. Unlike Madeline, I dread buying clothes after LO is born. I have no idea how regular clothes will fit/look and I'm not looking forward to it.

    4. Like wiggy, I have so much to do around the house today and while I've managed to do a little bit here and there, I keep sitting in my rocker playing on my phone. I don't wannnnnnnna be productive.

    5. My DH is amazing. We have been through a lot this year and I couldn't imagine going through it without him. Now that I'm getting further along and working more he's been so helpful and loving and he's awesome. /endmushyness

    6. Speaking of DH, I can't wait to see him with our baby. I'm most excited for that and to see what he looks like right now.

    7. I want a glass of red wine. Or a Blue Moon. Bad.

    8. I'm paranoid about baby's position. Our two u/s showed him breech but it was in 2nd tri and I know that means absolutely nothing. It just stayed in my head that way and I'm anxious for my doc to check.

    9. We get takeout on the nights of our classes and I'm relieved I don't have to deal with cooking today. Win.

    10. I think leftover pizza is disgusting. Oven. Microwave. Cold. Doesn't matter, it's gross.

  • 1. I'm eating taco bell.

    2. When I got home I felt the need to pee, as I started walking to the bathroom I peed myself. I couldn't control it and I'm not sure if it was my water or if I just peed. Lol.

    3. I got some really beautiful flowers at Sams club. I don't need them but I couldn't leave them.

    4. Went grocery shopping yesterday, I stocked up on everything since I don't know whats gonna happen.

    5. My cousin's EDD is tomorrow, they had told us she wasn't due for a few months and now shes due tomorrow. Weird. Lol

    6. Hardcore Pawn is kinda annoying sometimes.

    7. I am in pain.

    8. I don't feel like cooking dinner.

    9. The weather is finally changing. It's raining and it's cold. Yay.

    10. I just bought this. I love it!! It's not uploading so blah!!!
  • Aw cute :)

    @tudorrose11 I have gotten nothing done today other than getting dinner in the crockpot. Also, I have not enjoyed shopping since having Ava Nichol. I am down to my pre preg weight but my body has changed. I am finally starting to figure it out and maybe a little excited to get some new fall clothes! But I tried on 8 shirts the other day and I only bought one. It sucked.

  • 1. Work made me cry today. I've never been that scared of a client, I think it's because I'm not allowed to go hands on and I'm essentially a sitting duck.

    2. DH's birthday is tomorrow and I'm really annoyed that people think it's sucky to have a 9/11 birthday.

    3. I had a soda and a double cheeseburger from McDonalds after work, I'm not ashamed.

    4. I need a nap, but I have a ton to do. I wish we had the extra money to go out to eat!

    5. We start birth class tomorrow night. I have no idea what to expect, but I'm excited!

    6. I just realized how few positive things I have to say this week and it makes me sad because it's only Tuesday.

    7. I have to go to my SIL's on Thursday. I'd much rather stay home. I love seeing our niece, but I just want to be home with nothing to do.

    8. My MIL is coming over Saturday for H's birthday I may abandon him to go get my hair cut and styled for a wedding that night. I don't think I should have to make lunch!

    9. Speaking of hair... I have no idea what to so to mine. It's so long (for me), but I don't know if I want it to be short.

    10. My eyebrows are out of control.

  • @wiggyslilsis I agree completely about the shopping. I've not gained much weight during my pregnancy so I'm not as worried about that as how my body will be different. I was already a picky shopper before!

  • @bridget0117, if you can stop the flow, then its pee, if you can't it may just be your water.

  • @madeline10L and @caseyandlizzie I ended up going to OB screening because I called the Hotline and they thought it was my water. Well it wasn't, I guess I just peed. Lol. I am having contractions every 5 minutes but I'm not feeling them (the monitor caught them) so I got sent home. I'm still 60% effaced I'm not dilated so I haven't made progress :(
  • 1. Eloise won't go to sleep.
    2. I used vanilla soy milk for dinner tonight. It was horrible. I need to buy some regular milk for recipes.
    3. With fb gpm, I don't visit here very often.
    4. The toddler comforter post, I really loved them all and was surprised to see most of you gals said NmS.
    5. Thank the Lord I have my dh. I can 'turn off' when he gets home. He is great with our babies.
    6. Twins are HARD.
    7. I feel like I've lost myself.
    8. I miss working. A lot.
    9. Twins are hard.
    10. Vaughn cracks me up. I think Eloise will be shy.

  • @venti29 I never know whether to post here or on Facebook! I am glad that your DH is so good with the babies :) I hope that you can find some way to find yourself again. Maybe you could find a very part time job or volunteer somewhere. I don't know if it would be affordable or convenient to just have one day of childcare rather than all week. And yes we are about to have a baby boom!
