1. I had a strange dream last night. My old friend's sister who is passed away came to me as her "ghost" or spirit and she was trying to get me to find her brother and it was urgent. I don't talk to him anymore and I onlyhave him on fFacebook. I don't know what to think and Ava Nichol woke up before my dream was done.

2. I can't seem to wake up and it might be related to 1.

3. We don't have as much going on this week and it is kind of nice. I have stuff around the house that needs to get done.

4. For my classes I am not going to try to do my assignments all on the day they are due. I am going to take an hour every night of the week and get as much as I can done. I think this will work better.

5. I'm hungry but not awake enough to get myself a bowl of cereal yet.

6. Wednesday we are going to a pumpkin patch with our playgroup. This will be Ava Nichol's third trip to a pumpkin patch this Fall.

7. Our "nice" weather over the weekend is officially over. It is cold and wet again. I am glad we were able to make it to the pumpkin patch as a family on a nice day.

8. I have to bake something for a cake walk at the bazaar this Saturday. I don't know what to make.

9. I am making a Halloween wreath! I hope it turns out. I am using a black boa and ping pong balls to look like eyes.

10. I have an appointment with an endocrinologist on the 18th. It is mainly about whether I need adult growth hormone therapy (I have read conflicting articles) but Iam going to talk to hher about all my issues to see if she thinks it could be an endocrine problem.

1. I am laying next to DD feeding her. She's in just a diaper and I can't stop kissing her. I think I annoy her. Lol.

2. I should really be cleaning right now but it can wait a little while longer.

3. I love Grahams honey cookies. Yumm..

4. DH called me 4 times while I was sleeping and now he won't answer. I'm worried

5. My allergies have been so bad lately.

6. I love watching Modern Family.

7. UO- I hate it when people use those leash like things on kids. Your child is not a dog.

8. I'm going to order my favorite wine tonight. Can't wait

9. We might buy DD her costume tonight.

10. I need to buy a Christmas tree.

@wiggyslilsis, you should post a picture of the wreath once you are done

@bridget0117 I will definitely post a pic what are you going to dress your DD up as for Halloween?

1. I am so ready for Friday, when I have my second u/s!

2.  I have been having odd dreams.

3. I made some brownies last night and really wish I had one right now.

4. I have been going back and forth about the NT scan, but I don't think we will do it since we are out of pocket.

5. We are going to visit SIL in Oklahoma City this weekend.

6. My skin has decided it wants to start breaking out 

7. I really wish I didn't have so many student loans I had to pay on.

8. The weather here is annoying because it's cold in the mornings and hot in the afternoons!

9. I found my favorite candy at Walgreen's the other day and bought three boxes.

10.  I ate those boxes in two days!

1) I'm really happy that Evan is finally getting teeth

2) I have been introducing E to my dogs more and so far it has gone pretty well. They are just so excited about him and want to play. Previously I kept them pretty separated because they were too rambunctious and always in his face. Now if I could just find a way to keep E out of the dog water.

3) One of my good friends bought a house that is pretty far away. We have been growing apart somewhat and her move and me having a baby didn't help. I could put forth more of an effort, but I realized I don't really want to. Kind of sad I feel that way.

4) I know I may regret saying this but I'm really looking forward to when E can walk. Not very close unfortunately. I get asked multiple times per day if he can walk and that is not helping calm my eagerness.

5) I am obsessed with spaghetti squash now.

6) I always thought I would stop BF at a year, but I can't believe how fast a year is coming up. I don't really know how I feel about BF past a year though. I know DH will want me to stop.

7) I am so happy that The Good Wife dropped the story line with Kalinda's husband.

8) I think the Mom and M2B post needs to change up the questions. I get tired of the same questions every week. I feel like it should just be stats, a new question to answer and then what is new that week or something like that.

9) I placed an order at ON and forgot to order one of the items I wanted. I don't want to pay the shipping though to order the additional item. Grr

10) I love celebrating holidays and want to start fun traditions this year but DH isn't on board because E is too young to know what is going on. At least he is excited about our theme costumes for Halloween.

Bonus 11) Winter birthdays suck.

1. I have been having constant menstrual-like cramps for 3 days. Literally constant.

2. We were supposed to go out of state for Thanksgiving. Now it may end up being here in town and while it would be easier not to travel with a newborn and have family come to us, I was looking forward to getting away. Plus the grandparents aren't well enough to go that far so they won't meet baby until Christmas if that happens.

3. I'm almost 100% positive I will take a different job after my maternity leave. I'm proud of my position but the hours suck and my co-managers are incompetent. It's a stress I don't want or need.

4. I'm so so tired. I don't sleep well anymore.

5. I'm super anxious about going into labor and not having the house in order. I think I will be cleaning everyday until then just in case.

6. I'm excited to have a date night with DH on Saturday!

7. FFC: I went to Panera for a sandwich and Arby's for fries for lunch today. I'm not sorry.

8. After all my worry about cleaning, I think I might take a nap this afternoon instead.

9. I can't stand that "Royals" song. Yuck.

10. Another manager I work with took credit for something I did by myself yesterday and it's a shared email so she knows I can see it. I was so angry yesterday I couldn't stop thinking about it when I got home.

1. I think my H just wants to push my buttons lately. I was blaming my hormones for me yelling at him so yesterday I tried talking calmly. He got mad about that which made me frustrated. I can't win! 

2. My melon trio snack doesn't have enough watermelon in it. 

3. I'm going to cry like a baby Thursday night while watching Glee. The preview last week made me cry and just now, talking to my boss about it made me want to cry. 

4. I think our dog just wants to run away. She figured out how to jump the low part of our fence on Friday and since then it has been a battle when taking her out because she's also figuring out how to squeeze out of her collar and harness. It makes me sad. 

5. I'm so tired today and will probably take a nap when I get home. Hope H doesn't mind waiting for dinner. 

6. We took the truck in to get one of the ball joints fixed. Come to find out, all 4 need fixed. I really hate cars. 

7. I keep looking at the clock wanting to suddenly be 3:30. Happen to me yesterday, can't I have a repeat?

8. I love Buzzfeed

9. I have 2 more friends I want to personal tell that I'm PR. It seems to be impossible to get together with them. One of them lives 2 hours away so I may just text her. The other is an hour away. She has PCOS too and I feel like I should tell her personally, but even me volunteering to drive to her house just to hang out hasn't been doable. I'm worried she'll find out through the grapevine. 

10. I can't decide how to tell my grandparents. I don't have a close relationship with them, never have no matter how hard I tried. I really don't get along with my dad's side, but I feel bad them finding out through the grapevine. I'm trying to decide if I should call them or email them.

1. Took the babies on a walk this morning, it was nice and I need to do it more often.
2. There is about 5 fire fighters in the park across the street with two trucks. I don't have any pants on so I can't walk out there and see what's up.
3. I'm not sure about this sleep training. I want them to know ill always be there for them, but I also want healthy sleep habits.
4. If my kids try and run away all the time, I'll leash em I'm pro anything that makes your kids safe.
5. My babies are nursing right now, for comfort not food.
6. Not going in their room last night to hold and comfort them killed me.
7. I love making my bows.
8. October is my favorite month, our 3 year anniversary is on the 30th. No big plans.
9. DH is on my good side these days.
10. Life is good.

@wiggyslilsis, I'm not sure yet. It's not like she's going trick or treating but I want to take pictures of her. Lol

1. I am happy to be at work. It's some normalcy after being homebound either sick myself or taking care of the sick.

2. I cannot figure how to update my signature with this new format.

3. I'm on an actual computer, which is how I saw that my pregnancy ticker wasn't in my signature.

4. I have no idea what to eat for lunch.

5. I need to wash my dirty car.

6. I have a million things on my to-do list but am so busy...or lazy. Not sure which yet.

7. My little girl turns 2 in less than a week. No really. Time flies. 

8. My little boy will be here in 2 months. No really. 3rd tri goes damn slow.

9. It's suppose to rain tomorrow. Yay! Some kind of fall weather feel.

10. If anyone can help me with numero 2, I'd be forever indebted.

@vitan I'm going to sound like an idiot, bare with me! 

At the top right is an icon that looks like a person. It says account options, click it! 

Edit profile screen will appear. On the left hand side you've got options. Click Signature Settings

That's how you do your siggy. 

If you want to add a ticker, you have to click the second icon on the left Show Sources (it looks like a piece of paper with <> on it) before you add in the code. Once you un-click it, everything will go back to normal and you should see how your ticker will load. Then just save!

Here is my Halloween wreath. I need to figure out how to hang it on the door.

@venti29 I think you are doing really well with the sleep training! I couldn't do it when she was that young because I would sit outside her door crying. Hell, we didn't even transition her to her own room until 6 months. She was in the crib in our room. I did cut out MOTN feedings at 7 1/2 mo and she started sleeping all the way through the night consistently by 8 1/2 mo. We started sleep training at like a year because she had figured out hey if I cry mom will come pat my back and we went back to 3,4,5 wake ups a night.

I guess what I am saying is that it is hard. And there is no right way. I very much believe in Mother's intuition.

@wiggyslilsis, that looks really good. Good job

@tudorrose11, I literally cleaned every day before my EDD and the day I actually went into labor my house wasn't super clean.

@venti, does it hurt to have them nursing for comfort? Isis wanted to nurse for comfort all night one night, it hurt. I cried and my nips hurt really bad.

@nightmare_of_beauty (I hope I did that right). Thank you!! And you didn't sound like an idiot at all.

@wiggyslilsis - Love the wreath! Halloween is my fav. holiday. I bought a black wreath holder from Michaels one year. They might have cooler ones now. 

wiggyslilsis

Thanks guys I am slowly decorating for Halloween! We are hosting a Halloween party and some of the moms from my play date group will be coming to my house for the first time.

Venti29

Thanks Wigg. It helps to hear other moms who've been there.

Bridge, it doesn't hurt at all. She's waking up four times between 8pm- 7am, just to suck, if she was hungry I'd be fine with getting up, but it's just to suck, not even latch.

And don't worry, your nips will toughen up!

bridget0117

@venti, I stopped breastfeeding. I felt like my milk wasn't enough because she wanted to eat all the time. I literally mean all.the.time. so I started doing FF and BF but at the end I stopped BF. I would try to latch her and she would make a stinky face lol.
