1. i'm exhausted today even though I got a great sleep last night

2.  the pants i'm wearing today are unbelievably uncomfortable. I think i'm going to fully switch to maternity pants. why not?

3.  I left my lunch box in the car and i'm ready for a snack but am to lazy to walk and get it

4. I have a meeting this afternoon that i'm really unprepared for and instead of working on it i'm nesting.

5. my sister is currently packing up old clothes/shoes of her boys in hopes that she can pass them along to me. that would be nice since everything she's purchased is good quality.

6.  I recieved my first batch of cloth diapers last night from a friend. soooo excited!

7. we have dinner with the IL's tonight and i'm not all that excited about it. i'd rather go home and lay in bed

8.

1. It's 9 and I'm still laying in bed. Yay!

2. DD is still sleeping. Double yay!!

3. We finally bought all the turkeys yesterday.

4. We are going to start Christmas shopping today.

5. I received a letter yesterday that my pap came back abnormal again, I need another colposcopy AGAIN. I know it could mean nothing but then again, it could be something. I'm freaking out and I've cried a lot since getting the letter.

6. My colposcopy appointment isn't until January 7th. Blah

7. I'm getting hungry.

8. I seriously dislike my ILs.

9. They had the nerve to say that they know a lady who had a baby and she didn't BF and that the little girls teeth didn't come in until she was 1 year old. They said that it could happen to DD since I didn't BF for long. I hate that they try to make me feel guilty for not BF.

10. OK, DD is awake

1.  Our floor (and especially our office) smelled like cigarettes/cigars yesterday and it got increasingly worse throughout the day.  It still smells this morning and is so gross!

2.  I wish I had tomorrow off.

3.  At least I have Thurs and Fri off.

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

5.  I am sad that I haven't felt baby move yet and so many other FTM already have.  

6.  It kind of makes me worry that something is wrong, even though I know I am blowing it out of proportion.

7.  I can't wait to see the baby on the u/s Dec 13!

8.  The weather here is so yucky lately.

9.  I am trying to convince DH to do maternity pictures.

10.  We started researching things to put on our registry.

@bridget0117 yay for baby girl sleeping in! Also, I hope that the abnormal pap is no big deal! Oh and I FF from the beginning and LO got her first tooth at 8 1/2 mo. I have never heard of the teeth/BFing thing before.

@amccul20 That is awesome of your sister! I hope you get to use at least some of them. We had boy hand me downs that we used for Ava Nichol

@sparklingdiamond I hope you can convince DH to do maternity pics! You are so cute I just know the pictures will be adorable and I wanna see them!

1. I can't wait for today to be over so we can hit to road for VA; 4 am can't come soon enough!

2. DH and I didn't go food shopping this week because we won't be home so we're having Five Guys for dinner. I'm irrationally excited. 

3. I'm upset that my sister took all of her maternity clothes to the consignment store.  Most of them she got from our SIL, who has great (and expensive!) taste!  I always thought she would pass them down to me, even though it meant she'd have to hold on to them for a few years. Sad face.

4. I woke up to the sound of snow plows on my street. I'm SO not ready for winter in the Berkshires!

5. I hope the snow continues all day and stops by tonight so we don't have to drive in the snow/ice.  It wasn't supposed to start until tonight, so I hope that's a good thing!

6. I hope all you ladies have a wonderful Thanksgiving (if you celebrate)!

7. I'm bummed that our home inspection last night revealed A LOT more work that needs to be done on this house. As a result, we lowered our offer, but I'm not hopeful the seller will accept. 

8. I'm so proud of DH, who has been significantly cutting down on the amount of cigarettes he smokes for the past few weeks.  I think he may have finally quit!

9. I can't wait to eat the bacon wrapped dates DH packed me as a snack!

10. I have a lot of work to get done before the end of the day and I'm nesting instead. Oh well.

1. I got up at 6:15 to go get blood drawn today. And now I am at my mom's waiting for them to wake up I am feeling accomplished!

2. Hopefully I keep this motivation going so I can get some stuff done when we get home.

3. I want the house to be clean because we are coming out to my parent's Wed night and probably won't be back home until Sunday.

4. I am hoping to convince my mom to do some black Friday shopping with me. She has to work but not until 1 pm.

5. It has been so chilly here. Like in the high 20s to mid 30s. I don't like driving in the ice :-S

6. I can't wait until next payday so I can get going on both of my NSA Christmas packages

7. I have so many projects I want to do and so little time!

8. I cannot wait to get my Christmas present from DH! It is an espresso machine. Normally I like my present to be a surprise but I want an espresso machine so bad!

9. I think my mom and I are going in on a weight bench and extra weights for DH so hopefully he will be able to workout whenever he has time and not waste money on a gym membership. We live too rural for that.

10. I made the appointment with the urologist and am waiting back for results of my cortisol test. I feel like I am making progress again and it feels good. Also, I feel so much better in general since passing that stone. I realize now that I have had back pain for a couple months now.

Ugh, this makes me angry for you.  I absolutely hate breastfeeding-related guilt - it's too complicated of a decision/process for people to make you feel like that!

Try not to worry! I don't think I first felt LO move until 18-19 weeks. There's lots of time!!

@bridget0117 I love everything about your post except obviously the abnormal pap part. You know I'm thinking of you and hoping everything comes back okay. Hugs!

@sparklingdiamond Most FTM don't feel movement until closer to 20 weeks. So don't worry, it'll be soon.

Whoa, whoa, what? why does this matter? My little girl was BFed until 13 months and didn't sprout any teeth until she reached a year. I was happy about that. so why do they think that's bad?

wiggyslilsis

Yeah the whole argument seems strange. Why does it matter if she gets her teeth later? And what does that have to do with BFing or not?

If it makes you feel better, for almost 2 years after Lexi was born, my paps came back abnormal. I would do the colposcopy - it would come back fine. 6 months later I would do another pap just to make sure - abnormal again. It will pass, do not worry. I was freaking out a lot too. I am now abnormal free.

1. I'm being super lazy at work today, so I'm writing down recipes that I have actually done from pinterest.

2. I think I printed out over 10 recipes.

3. I really want to take tomorrow off. Maybe I'll do a half day. I need to grocery shop because I really don't want to do it on Friday or Saturday.

4.Can't wait to make all my desserts tomorrow night.

5. I winter cleaned my whole apartment this past weekend. Now I'm trying to not not be OCD about the house staying clean.

6. I'm so happy my boss pushed me to go back to school. I currently have my associate's in Office of Administrative Assistant. I signed up for my first two classes towards my Bachelor's of Engineering. I start in January. It feels like a weight has been lifted.

7. DH and my parents are super supportive of my decision. DH has agreed to pick up some motherly roles of cooking and cleaning and my mom has also agreed to help bring Lexi to ballet class if I need her to.

8. I can smell apples around my office. I really want one now.

9. I can't wait to shop with DH on Friday. I already have my list ready and how much I need to spend on everyone. I'm so excited, I've never been this prepared.

10. I'm putting up my Christmas tree on Friday night after I make homemade pizza. DH wants to have the Peanut's Christmas special on in the background while we decorate. I can't wait for Lexi to help us out more this year. She picked out the family ornament - a little snowman!

1. Sorry for the post and run earlier. Was at dr. appt.

2. I'm measuring small after being on par this whole pregnancy. Doc isn't worried but it triggered me. Could be the way he was laying or he's dropped. He will do an u/s next week to check weight. 

3. Luckily DH was with me this time so I didn't have to repeat everything and have him add more stress of not knowing exactly what was going on. 

4. How can baby be small when I feel so huge?!?

5. I still am depressed about Nick and Jessica breaking up. I watched Newlyweds on youtube the other night and realize that I need to surrender the dream. It's been 10 years, they have kids with other people. 

6. I need to do some kind of shopping for Christmas and I only have to buy for my niece. 

7. I am such a freakin' procrastinator.

8. But not when it comes to decorating. I'm putting away the fall stuff this weekend and putting up Christmas.

9. I have not allowed myself to listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. I'm chomping at the bit. 

10. I have a one track mind and the measurement will be on my brain until next week. 

Venti29

Lol@ vitan -nick and Jess.

1. It's a broken record with me, but crib naps are life changing.

2. Our bffs are coming the day after thanksgiving. I just can't wait.

3. This morning babies woke up at 530, normally we just 'wake up' for the day, this morning I fed, changed, and put back to bed.. They slept till 8!! Scoreeeeeeeeeeeee!

4. I have a million paint projects going on. It might not be that I don't have the time, but I'm lazy

5. E isn't photogenic, V SO is.

6. I don't like turkey. Or thanksgiving food.

7. I'm in charge of the Mac n cheese, I need a good recipe.

8. I want our Christmas tree NOW!! (Real).

9. V took a short nap.

10. Babies are so much work, but so much joy. My heart is full.

@venti29 Truth to number 10! So much work but so much love.

1) Attempting to work today has been a joke.

2) I'm not sure working from home today has been beneficial to my state of mind.

3) Thank effing God I'm taking a vacation day tomorrow.

4) I want to cut out on my remote work session an hour early, go take a steaming hot shower, and curl up on the couch in a nest of blankets and fur babies.

5) DH goes to his new PT job this evening to start watching all the new hire videos.

6) While he's gone, I'll be losing myself catching up on this entire season of Bones.

7) I freaking hate waiting.

8) .......

ljraff29

1. Took my FRER and digi test and both were positive!

3. My first appt and u/s is 12/23 and I'll be a wreck until then.
4. I have a ton of things to do before thanksgiving. 
5. DH wants to go out to dinner tonight but I think we have too much to do.

Thanks, Venti. You and me both. At this point, I'm pretty sure the answers are just going to confirm my gut.

Sorry for posting and running ladies!

And nothing is wrong with teeth coming in at 1 year old or sooner or later. Sorry if it seemed like there was something wrong with it. I just meant I hate how they always try to make me feel guilty about not breastfeeding.

vitan

@bridget0117 Oh,  you didn't offend me or anything but I just wanted to make sure that you weren't letting your inlaws get to you with that nonsense. That's all.

sgautschi

I'm sending lots of positive vibes and T&Ps @luckyangel07. I really really hope baby is okay in there.

@smbenevides1989 Good for you going back for your bachelors! And in engineering, that's awesome! Do you have any particular concentration? DH is working toward aerospace/mechanical.

Currently I'll be going for Mechanical, but I'm going to also look into Computer Science. I guess we will see how the classes go. That's an awesome trade to go into - aerospace. I have a friend who was hired through Boeing because of it.
