Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1.  I still haven't felt movement and it's making me sad 

    2.  Only 10 days until we have our elective u/s to find out the sex!

    3.  My nose won't stop running/being stuffy and it's really annoying.

    4.  We bought appliances last night for the house we are having built.

    5.  I know we needed them, but I hated spending the money because I would rather use the money for other things.

    6.  DH has to take off some vacation days or he will lose them and I am jealous that I can't take off too!

    7.  We were supposed to go to a football game this weekend, but now it's supposed to get icy and cold.

    8.  I wish DH would talk names with me, but he won't until we know the sex.  Even though I already have names I love!

    9.  I am so not feeling work today.

    10.  I talked DH into maternity pics!  Hooray!

  • 1. i'm fucking pissed for lucky

    2. I wish I could poop

    3. I am hungry and want to go pick up a salad from somewhere. maybe that will help with #2

    4.  I just realized that my #2 was needing to poop. total accident.

    5. family dinner tonight! woohoo I don't have to cook

    6. I'm in the process of looking for a nanny and I don't really know where to start

    7. um I'm so so behind at work

    8. thats it. i'm leaving now in search of food....

  • @sparklingdiamond the snuffy/runny nose thing is aparently a side effect of being pregnant! who knew?!
  • 1) I cannot WAIT for concert season to be over.  I ran orchestra rehearsal this morning and in 35 minutes got so dehydrated that I almost passed out and the school nurse was concerned.  Better now, but come on...

    2) Lower back pain.  Ugh.  And I know it's only going to get worse.

    3) My insurance is being a PITA.  They're fucking around and not processing things properly and it's causing me unnecessary stress.

    4) Hanukkah is almost over.  Sad.  I need to make DH play that game of driedel he owes me...

    5) I ate lunch.  And I'm still hungry.

    6) I am SO OVER the old biddies telling me what I should and shouldn't be eating.  I am eating what my body will ALLOW me to eat.  Go away.

    7) The school building is either burning or freezing.  Right now, it's freezing.  And my nips hurt because of the cold (TMI, I know).

    8) Baby is kicking plenty, but not in a way that DH can feel it.  He's jealous.

    9) And she just kicked again!

    10) I'm out.

  • 1. There is no milk so I cannot have cereal. This is not good because my meds I take at night make me wake up groggy and now I am pissy.

    2. My little brother is 17 (18 in January) and he is still in the I am too cool to wear a coat phase. Seriously! It is 29 degrees out...wear a coat!

    3. Our dog gets totally spoiled when we stay out at my parents.

    4. We got two new tires for our car yesterday. So not in the budget but it neededto be done because our car was failing in the iice and it was scary.

    5. Ava Nichol gets emotionally invested in her TV shows now. So when something bad happens she very dramatically says Noooooo and starts to cry.

    6. I think we finally ate all the Thanksgiving leftovers.

    7. We fail at red box. We got a movie two days ago and still haven't watched it and don't know when we will be able to take it back.

    8. My idea to do Ava Nichol's hands on round ornaments did not work out. So now everyone is getting a footprint tree on card stock instead.

    9. Confession: The new ornaments are way cuter than the other ones would have been. Glad the project didn't work out but sucks we spent money on it.

    10. Time to stop spending money. But I still have to get stamps and some other things ugh.

  • 1. DH is traveling and told me he threw up last night and has a fever. He is supposed to come home tomorrow. Part of me wants to tell him to sleep downstairs.

    2. I'm thinking about Panera for lunch.

    3. I'm freaking out about a name for this LO. Whenever I think we've settled on a name, DH gets cold feet. It's frustrating.

    4. I'm so.freaking.itchy.

    5. I'm nervous about going to this church in our area tonight. My brother asked me to be the godmother of my nephew, which I am sooo excited about. However, I haven't registered with a church because of our copious amount of moving over the past 5 years and DH and I were married in a church that wasn't Catholic. So, in their eyes, it's an "invalid" marriage, which disqualifies me as a godparent. I'm really hoping that this church will be somewhat lenient, but I'm terrified.

    6. My mom ordered the cake for my shower. It's marble with raspberry filling. I can't wait to eat this on Sunday!!

    7. I'm mentally ready to meet our son. We still need to do a few things, but I just really want to meet him. :)

    8. My doctor has officially given travel restrictions at 33 weeks. I'm not allowed to go farther than an hour away without a copy of my medical records and knowing where the closest hospital is to our location.

    9. I'm irrationally excited about organizing the remaining closets tonight. It's going to be so clean!

    10. I NEED to remember to go get my blood drawn tomorrow. I was supposed to do it the first week of the 3rd tri and I've just kept putting it off. It's to check my med levels to see if we need to raise them at all during the last month of pregnancy.

  • 1. Today is our 2 year anniversary :)

    2. DH is taking me out to dinner, I can't wait. Lol.

    3. I don't feel like doing shit right but snuggling with DD on the couch!

    4. We went looking at SUVs last night, I fell in love with a Range Rover Sport (not really an SUV I guess lol) and a GMC Denali. I'm approved but I don't know what I want now.

    5. It's supposed to snow today and I'm not looking forward to it.

    6. I seriously hate calling places lol.

    7. I love the way our Christmas Tree came out :)

    8. I should buy DH something little for our anniversary today but I don't know what.

    9. I want to go shopping.

    10. Ok, I gotta go.
  • @bridget0117 Happy Anniversary!

    We might get snow for our town's annual Christmas parade on Saturday! I am so excited :)

    That's actually a great idea! We need new sheets so I might go hunt some down right now :)

    Thank you!

  • Thank you ladies :)
  • 1. I have to travel for the first time since having K next week and I am SO not looking forward to it! At least it's only one night.

    2. I let DH talk me into getting a rediculously expensinve outfit for K's 6 month pictures .... serioulsy like over $100 .... and she'll probably spit up on it.

    3. We took K to get pictures with Santa this weekend.  She didn't smile at all, but didn't cry either.

    4. We're starting oatmeal this week!!

    5. We're supposed to get ice/snow mix Thursday and Friday and all I want to do it stay home.  I'm even more nervous about driving in those conditions now!

    6. I have been addicted to root beer lately! 

    7. How is K almost 6 months already?!?!? 

    8. I took chicken out for tonight but have a retirement party after work in which food is available ... I might fill up on apps.

    9. I am not looking forward to spending money on appliances for our house ...

    10. We asked for money/gift cards for Christmas because of #9.  I feel bad about it and also selfishly want regular gifts instead ...

    Anniversary

  • 1. I was in so much pain last night for some unknown reason. The right side of my body had tingly pains all over it.

    2. I passed out on the couch at 9:00 because of it. H took care of Lexi for me. 

    3. I fell asleep in both my contacts and my work clothes. I finally got dressed in pajamas at 1:30 this morning.

    4. I'm tired and everyone keeps throwing stuff at me to do.

    5. I wish I had money for a DP on a house. There is this perfect 3 bed/1 bath house just down the street from my parents house. It doesn't need any work other than the yard and it needs a fridge. Part of me hopes its still available in 6 months. 

    6. H gets a free turkey from work tomorrow. That means I only have to spend like $10 to get the remaining ingredients for Christmas dinner. Not bad for my first dinner!

    7. I talked H into NNT. This is my last week of my patch and I would like to start tracking my cycles from now on. He completely agrees.

    8. Did I mention I don't feel like working?

    9. Black Friday shopping was a success. I bought all my gifts (minus 3 gift cards and a basket) and still got 4 coupons that I get to use this week. 

    10. I want chocolate creme pie.

  • @amccul20 - that's what I call a happy accident!

    @wiggyslilsis - I thought there was hope for getting my 12 year old step son to wear a jacket. Sigh...

    @pennstated912 - Happy shower!!!

    @bridget0117 - Happy anniversary!

    1. I, too, am fucking pissed for Lucky.

    2. I wish I was doing almost anything but working right now.

    3. A nap sounds like heaven to me at the moment.

    4. I'm hungry, but nothing sounds good to me. I hate that.

    5. I miss my family in VA terribly.

    6. I've been feeling over emotional lately and I don't like it.

    7. I'm also getting worked up a lot more easily and I know that's not good.  Having a step son with a BSC mother is no good for this pregnant lady.

    8. My sister sends a holiday treat package every year with cookies and fudge and all sorts of yummies. I can't wait to get ours and om nom the shit out of it!

    9. I was invited to a baby shower on Sunday. I don't know the girl well at all (I've met her 2 or 3 times... didn't even know she was pregnant til I got the invite - on fb), but she's the sister of one of DH's friends, who I really like.  I can't decide if she was being gift grabby or trying to be nice and include me in their circle. I'd like to think the latter, but I don't like being in uncomfortable situations (meaning I know a few people who will be there, but not well and one of them is DH's ex gf, who is just flat out rude to me) and if I go I have to bring a dish. Not sure what to do.

    10. Is it 5:00 yet???

    yes, unfortunately it is. I've been like this for 4 months now. at first I thought I was perpetually sick but had no other symptoms. it's pregnancy related like heartburn.

    1. It was like they were too slippery so even when we placed her hand on there just right it would smear and become unrecognizable as a hand print.

    2. I hate fat days. I have clothes I just refuse to wear now because they only look good sometimes. I also need to figure out a better way to work out. They gym is not an option :( maybe I can get a treadmill for my birthday or better yet Mother's Day.

    3. PIP your tree! I love your style and I bet it is gorgeous!

    They are gorgeous but I wanted an SUV so that we would have more room since my 4door sedan is so small and the Range Rover isn't that much roomier. But..... I love it and it's beautiful and it's white and... and... and... I could keep going but you already know how awesome they are. Lol.
