Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1. I miss my baby. She stayed at Grandma's for two nights!

    2. I have a doctor appt today and then I get to go pick up my daughter.

    3. It is so wet and windy!

    4. DH and I checked out espresso machines and I think I found the one I am going to get at Target. We looked at Macy's as well and I found the perfect one...sadly it was $890 so that is never going to happen :(

    5. I have been making bows out of my scrap fabric...some of them are super cute!

    6. I am also loving the way my advent calendar is coming along. I am painting clothespins and when that is done I just have to glue them on and it is most of the way done!

    7. I need to get some white thread. Hard to sew things with no white thread.

    8. I am watching the news. I love watching the news in the morning but we watch bubble guppies instead now.

    9. DH and I decided to make cleaning the house a priority and it looks really nice. Nice to have a clean house (minus the laundry).

    10. DH was off yesterday so it felt like Sunday. I am going to be a day off all week!

  • 1.  I saw something that made me sad yesterday and I could not stop crying (Granted I would've cried about this even if I wasn't pg...but being pg made it that much worse!)

    2.  Because of that, my eyes hurt and are still a little puffy this morning.

    3.  I think I am going to have pizza for lunch!

    4.  I need to not weigh myself everyday.  I know fluctuations are normal, but I am up like 2 lbs in just 2 days!

    5.  I wish it was time for my next appt and my elective u/s!

    6.  They are making really good progress on the house we are having built.

    7.  I hope they aren't done until Jan, so it gives us a little more time to save.

    8.  I finished reading Alligent and was so disappointed.

    9.  I bought new maternity tops at Target this last weekend and they are sooooo comfy!!

    10.  I am ready to have a more distinguishable bump!

  • 1. They accepted our offer on a house last night. I'm not sure whether to be more excited because it's a beautiful old house with a lot of charm or more nervous because charm = a lot of work.

    2. It just dawned on me that LO will be born a month before our first anniversary, so that means within the course of a year, I got married, got pregnant, and bought a house.  Holy shit, when did I become a grown up?!

    3. I went from platinum blonde to light reddish brown last night. It's too red for me (hopefully it will fade a bit), but I'm getting a ton of compliments. I think I miss being blonde already.

    4. I went straight from work to get my hair done last night and DH surprised me AND my stylist with diner from Panera.

    5. I'm trying to figure out how to ask my boss to leave early on Monday so I can go to our home inspection when I'm off Wed-Fri and I just got permission to leave early/come in late the following week of an OB appointment, a regular doctor appointment, and a dentist appointment. 

    6. December 5 (first appointment) can't come soon enough! 

    7. I can't wait to see my family the day before Thanksgiving so we can let the cat out of the bag! I'm so excited that my nieces (5 and 7) are part of the surprise. 

    8. I am so ready to look pregnant instead of bloated and get into maternity clothes instead of just my fat clothes.

    9. I really want to take a nap. right. this. second.

    10. Despite feeling like I have to gag all the time and the cramping in my ute, I feel really happy. Like, I just want to smile. It feels good.

  • 1. I've been looking at pottery barn rocking/nursing chairs all morning and I want one. but I am not willing to spend $1K on one!

    2. I made a cheesy ravioli dinner last night and had a small bowl. this morning I went to pack myself leftover for lunch and it seems my sister killed it! I'm shocked she ate that much, disgusted she ate that much and sad. see my blog for a photo diagram of her portions.

    3. i'm starving and have been all morning

    4. I saw a photo of one of my friends and she is a beautifully small pregnant woman. I'm jealous, i'm certain when i'm at that point of my pregnancy i'll be huge

    5. did I mention i'm hungry

    6. tomorrow is my NT scan and i'm terrified.  they already did the blood work so we'll be getting the full results tomorrow

    7. I'm sooo close to meeting my Goodreads goal for the year. so far i've read 97/100!

  • 1) I love working from home.

    2) My hands are freezing.

    3) I need to keep reminding myself that I really am pregnant!

    4) Zoey (boxer) decided to roll around on a tomato when she was out playing in the yard earlier. :P (we have a garden)

    5) Nothing beats Journey.

    6) I think I'm warming up some chili for lunch.

    7) My digestive system has most definitely slowed down already.

    8) Chai tea with peppermint mocha creamer is pretty darn tasty! Who needs coffee??

    9) Our water heater stopped working yesterday (barely getting luke warm water out of the faucets). I was in full on panic mode.

    10) It was just the fuse!!! Woohoo for finally getting an easy fix to something!

  • 1. Wigg, I gotta see your bows!

    2. My bf had her baby this morning, 9 pounder, little guy is adorable.

    3. dH was throwing up all night. Man.
    We just got the flu shots.

    4. Shit has gone down in our family, it's made me less excited about the holidays coming up and getting together. Both sides.

    5. V isn't 'crawling' however that little guy is getting around!! All over the place. He rolls, scoots whatever to get all over.

    6. I want a 'sick day' I'm so tired, I'd love to sleep the day away.

    7. dH is a hugeeeee sick baby, it'll be a long day! I've already had four texts from him... From the room next door.

    8. I got a new I phone 5c, only thing I like is the camera. Oh, and Suri.

    9. I'll think of two more later.

    @wiggylilsis I will be awaiting your update from your doctor's appointment! Also, I can't imagine being away from A right now for even a few hours let alone a couple nights! I'm sure AN had fun with her grandma though. ;)

    @sparklingdiamond I can't wait for your elective ultrasound either! :)

    @PandPMeant2B That's a lot to accomplish in one year! DH and I moved into our house the night we came home from our honeymoon (we closed on it the day before our wedding) and that was crazy enough! It is crazy though how quickly we grow up though. ;)

    @Venti29 I hope your DH feels better soon! Partially because I feel bad for you having to put up with him and his whininess. ;) Also, sorry to hear about the family drama. I'm nervous about the holidays but not because of family drama, just not wanting to have to explain why I don't want to pass around my baby...

    @Madeline10L Don't you hate it when you realize you've become your mother? ;)

    @LuckyAngel07 It took me a long time to remember I was pregnant and really believe it. I remember watching the screen at my first ultrasound and being shocked to see that there really was a baby in there! lol

    @amccul20 Good luck at your NT scan!

    Thanks, @madeline10L and @LuckyAngel07. Must be the lighting.  It definitely looks a little darker in person and it's different colors in different rooms.  It looks the most red in my bathroom, which is where I look at it the most.  I knew I'd have to deal with some reddish-ness because of how light it was before and because I didn't want to go too dark, so we'll see if it grows on me. If I still don't like it in a few weeks I'll have her go over it again to see if it takes the red out. 

    ETA: thanks @amccul!

  • Not that you guys care that much about my hair, but I'm bored so here are two close ups I just took in different lighting. Do you see a difference or am I totally losing it???

    1. My belly button has given up. She's gone and popped out.

    2. I cannot WAIT for maternity leave so I can apply to new jobs. Today is one of those days where I've had enough. I'm blatantly being taken advantage of in this company.

    3. At the same time, I'm thankful for this job because this is going to give me just enough experience to go somewhere else and get better pay.

    4. I got Panera for lunch today. And now that I've eaten I feel like I should take a nap. Today is so hectic and my brain hurts.

    5. DH is making chicken parm tonight!

    6. This girl I'm friends with makes knit baby hats. She is making DH and I a Dave the minion hat for LO! Worth every penny!

    7. I'm ready for this pregnancy to be over. I want my LO here and to be able to bend over and not feel like I'm going to suffocate or fall over.

    8. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that retailers keep opening earlier and earlier for Black Friday. FFS, either open at midnight, or just don't close on Thanksgiving so people can plan their holidays. Don't tell them 2 weeks beforehand that they have to completely change their plans and miss spending time with their families because you worry about your bottom line. I'm hoping people stop shopping on Thanksgiving. If you're shopping, that means someone else is working *gets down from soap box*

    9. I want ALL the green seedless grapes!

    10. I am completely stoked about starting the nursery this weekend!

  • 1. It finally rained last night! I love waking up to a nice fresh after rain smell. :)

    2. My dogs have fleas! I just bought treatment so hopefully it helps, I hate fleas!

    3. I got my registration date for school and it's way late, so I may not get into any classes...

    4. I forgot to mention I am planning on going back to school since I am so close to getting my BA.

    5. I really want coffee right now from Starbucks, but A is sound asleep and I don't want to wake her...

    6. There's a small part of me that wants to be one and done, but at the same time I want to experience pregnancy one more time.

    7. If we do decide to get pregnant again it will be a few years from now, after I am done with school and after we have moved into a bigger home.

    8. I have a headache, did I mention I need/want coffee?

    9. I find myself getting more protective of A every day. I had a lady walk over to look at A in her stroller and she was leaning over and getting too close for comfort, so I pulled the stroller away from her and walked away. That same lady picked up a roll of lettuce off the ground at the store and put it back on the shelf. Gross!

    10. Two guys at DHs work got burned pretty bad from a small explosion and are now in the burn unit at the local hospital. I am just thankful that DH is okay! Please send T &Ps to those two guys and their families though if you don't mind.

  • 1. DD had her two month visit and she is doing great! She weighs almost 14lbs and is 24" long.

    2. She got 3 shots :( I felt so bad when she wouldn't stop crying.

    3. I seriously can't explain how much I love Isis. I can just stare at her for hours and not get tired of it!!!

    4. I love watching Grey's Anatomy.

    5. I am still in PJ'S and I should really be out picking up some stuff.

    6. I want Olive Garden.

    7. I need a haircut

    8. I still need to go buy all the turkeys. Blah.

    9. I've been forgetting everything. If I don't write it down I forget. It sucks.

    10. I feel like kicking my H sometimes.

    1 - DH and I are planning a trip to the Mayan Riviera/Playa del Carmen for our 5th anniversary in January. Any hotel recommendations?

    2- DS is probably going to give our boxer a heart attack.  He jumped off the ottoman onto the sleeping dog this morning according to DH who is home with him today.  Crazy kid.

    3- I have been spotting for almost two weeks.  This is my first AF since my d&c, and it started off slow with 4 days of spotting/light, 5 days regular and now another 4 days of spotting.  Honestly?  Get on with it body.

    4- I start a new job in my division in two weeks and I'm so excited to be trying something new!

    5- I also finish my class in two weeks and I am really procrastinating on the final minor assigment.  I should just suck it up and do it so I can get excited about x-mas.

    6- We've taught DS to say santa and ho ho ho.  He taught us that "falcon' means helicopter in the mind of a 21 month old. 

    7- I really want to lose the 8lbs I put on while pregnant with the PMP.  I am busting my ass and eating clean and things aren't shifting. I'm hoping its a delayed reaction.

    Now is the time to start teaching proper dog/child interaction. He needs to learn the dog is not a trampoline or bean bag chair he can just jump on. That's how dogs get upset and bite. I wouldn't want to see that happen to you guys! And it happens even with the most even tempered dogs; everyone's got their breaking point!

  • 1. I am so tired today. Arthur woke up at 2am and I couldn't go back to sleep. So I went in the living room and started to read Allegiant.

    2. I am so curious why everyone is hating the ending to Allegiant.

    3. DH and I had sex for the first time since baby this weekend and it wasn't that bad. Really. We didn't even have to use lube. We actually had ST twice this weekend. Which is a lot considering we haven't had ST probably for the past 6-7 months.

    4. I am also considering being one and done. I can't imagine having to do everything we are doing with Arthur and having another child to take care of on top of that.

    5. When it really comes down to it though, I would like one more.

    6. I am jealous of DH getting to stay home with Arthur for longer than I did. I didn't even get to hold Arthur today yet because he was sleeping when I got up and go ready for work. I am missing him like crazy. I keep texting DH to send me pics of him. Can't decide if that is helping or hurting.

    7. I am so excited to see The Sound of Music live with Carrie Underwood on Dec. 5th. I can't wait. : )

    8. I have to wait another 2 weeks for Arthur's 2 month appt even though he is 2 months already. I am excited to see how much he weighs now but not excited for the shots.

    9. I really need to start working out. I don't have the motivation though. All I want to do after work is go home and snuggle Arthur.

    10. I am excited for it to snow. But after Christmas/New Years, I want all the snow to go away and spring to be here.

     

     

     After awhile, you just want to be with the one who makes you laugh. - Mr. Big

     

     

     




     

  •  9. I've been forgetting everything. If I don't write it down I forget. It sucks.  
    Be careful with this. I was forgetting a lot for a while, but then 1 year after I had my daughter, I completely lost it. I mean, I swear I had Alzheimer's. I would have a conversation with someone and would stop in the middle, look at the person, and say "What was I talking about?" It became so awful that I made an appointment with my doctor to see if there was anything to help it. She was no help, but I figured it out on my own. I switched positions at my job that had me do a lot of repetitive work. This helped me start remembering things much better. I still need to write everything down so I do not forget it and I have to do a task right away if someone asked me to do something, but consistently doing something helped tremendously.

    And thanks! I have I think 3 more classes until I can transfer to an online school, and once I start that, I should graduate with my BA in a year.

      8. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that retailers keep opening earlier and earlier for Black Friday. FFS, either open at midnight, or just don't close on Thanksgiving so people can plan their holidays. Don't tell them 2 weeks beforehand that they have to completely change their plans and miss spending time with their families because you worry about your bottom line. I'm hoping people stop shopping on Thanksgiving. If you're shopping, that means someone else is working *gets down from soap box*
    OMG I totally agree!
    I agree! I refuse to shop on Thanksgiving. I don't need anything that bad that someone has to cut their holiday/family time short. I think it would be awesome if everyone refused to shop on Thanksgiving.  I also feel like they are taking all the fun out of Black Friday.
