1.  I am trying really hard to not obsess over weight, but that 12 lb gained really freaked me out, so I wasn't happy when I was up two lbs in a week this time :-/  

2.  I wouldn't be so freaked out over it if I didn't still have quite a ways to go until he gets here.

3.  I finally figured out two of the hard tax returns I was working on this morning!

4.  I am going to owe on my taxes this year again and am not happy about that.

5.  At least I will finally have deductions for my 2014 taxes.

6.  I am sad that they discontinued rainbow chip icing.

7.  And now all I can think about is cake!

8.  Also, the post that talked about people with PCOS having trouble with their milk coming in has gotten me a little worried about it :-/

9.  I just ate some greek yogurt, but really just want cake.

10.  I have a lot to do today, but am looking at baby bedding instead!

1. Ava Nichol woke up at like 1am just crying in her bed. She wasn't scared or wet or cold. I finally figured out about an hour into it that even though she didn't have a fever she didn't feel good. I gave her Tylenol and she fell back asleep on her own.

2. She is constipated and her belly hurts She has had three prunes in the last two days along with other stuff like fiber to help out but no dice.

3. She calls Dora The Explorer, Boots because she likes the monkey better.

4. We just shared an apple dipping it in peanut butter. Yum!

5. Tonight is the first night I get to workout in our new workout room I am pretty excited!

6. I have no idea what I am doing for dinner because I didn't take anything out of the freezer.

7. I need to come up with some healthier dinner options that are yummy and quick. I feel like I am sabotaging DH's attempt to lose weight.

8. I don't have any problem buying Ava Nichol clothes from the boy's section. She got a pair of boy jammies yesterday because they are bubble guppies and she loves them.
9. We are working on potty training but I don't think she is ready yet. She doesn't understand that she is supposed to pee/poop in the potty and will go as soon as I put her diaper back on. We shall see.

10. I want to do Valentine's Day/Winter crafts with Ava Nichol but I'm lazy and don't feel like cleaning up the mess right now. Maybe tomorrow.

1. Levels, hate them, moving on. 

2. My boss said to make sure we wore our polo shirts today because she said higher up guys were coming in. They're selling us a new routing system, I feel they have to impress me more than I have to impress them.

3. I failed at starting my diet yesterday. I went home, ate mac n cheese, and drank a bottle of wine. 

4. I'm coming in an hour late tomorrow, which means an extra hour of sleep. Woo! 

5. I will most likely be putting off my diet again till next week because my heart isn't in it, but I think I will go for a walk tonight, another way I clear my head. 

6. I'm learning that my grass is green and that all grass has brown spots when you get close. 

7. I'm going to walk the mall tonight since it's still kind of cold. That means I have to get ice cream after right? It is right there. 

8. I'm way too excited for Girl Meets World.

9. Hey! I'm a point leader (at this moment at least). Go me! 

10. Breezy doesn't like H's new schedule and spent much of last night very confused why he wasn't asleep during the day. 

smbenevides1989

1. So excited about adding onto the family. Lexi was so excited over it.

2. I whispered "You're going to be a big sister" in her ear and she walked over to my parents and said, "I'm going to have a brother, and I'm going to be a big sister!" And starts jumping like a nutcase. <--  I never told her what we are having since I don't know. She says its a brother. We shall see.

3. Lexi was sick all weekend with a fever of 102. She wouldn't eat, but she consistently drank, even while she was in between consciousness. 

4. I stayed home from work yesterday because I wanted to make sure she was fine. She was completely fine, eating and playing like usual. 

5. Because she was fine, we decided to take her to watch WWE Raw last night at the Dunk. She passed out in my lap at 10:30. She was so cute cheering for all the wrestlers. She even asked for a championship belt.

6. I got a call from Lexi's school at lunchtime telling me she is not feeling well, she's crying, and has a slight temp of 100.9. She's not being dismissed, it was more of a "just to let you know" call. It's her nap time now, so I'm going to let her sleep and see how she is once she wakes up. I asked the school to call me to let me know. I'm going to call the doctor's office soon and schedule an appointment anyways.

7. I am so thirsty. I hate drinking water. I barely drink enough to fill a cup. Since Saturday, I can't stop drinking water. No matter how much I drink I'm still thirsty. 

8. I have no desire to drink anything but water either. I guess that's a good thing.

9. I'm trying to figure out what to flavor my chicken drumsticks with. I was going to serve it with pasta, but I'm not sure if I want to bread them, or cover them in hot sauce, or just season it with some spice and bake them.

10. I just found out that my job doesn't cover FMLA? Well, that's what I heard from another employee. I'll have to check that out. If that's the case, that sucks but not the end of the world.

Edit: Because I fail at English.

@sparklingdiamond And now because of you I am thinking "hey wait, there is that yummy bakery right by the mall instead of ice cream..."

Well now I was thinking I need some ice cream!

1. I have some serious upper back pain going on. I thought I had slept on it wrong but over the weekend it cleared up. yesterday as soon as I sat down at my desk it was back. I think its my chair causing all this paint...

2. I wanted soooo badly to stop and get mcdonalds ff on my way back from an appt. today but I held out and ate an apple when I got back to my office

3. i'm starving, like hungry always.

4. I am excited to see the comparison of my belly from last week to this week in photo because I feel like its grown a lot

5. maybe 4 is a result of 3?

6. I'm excited my family is throwing me a shower in Ohio when I go back there next month, but i'll only be 24ish weeks. and to me thats way too early, but I won't go back again before the baby is born. it will still be fun though and i'm very grateful

7. thats all I have i'm going to get some cheese

1. One day, I'm going to steal my nephew for his unbelievable cuteness. We FaceTime'd last night for his birthday and the first thing he said to me was, "It's my birthday, where's the baby?!?" I laughed and said, "in my belly still." His response, "Tell him to come out so we can play trucks at my party!" Seriously, my brother needs to move closer so I can snuggle this guy 24/7.

2. The CFO of my company came to my desk today and told me that I should bring my yoga ball to work to help with my SPD. Thank. God.

3. I am becoming increasingly more impatient to meet our son. Not just because of my discomfort, but because I just want him here. I can't wait to watch him grow into a person

4. I am unsure whether or not the comment my boss just made was sweet or uncomfortably weird. He goes, "You know, I always said that of men had to carry babies, there would be a lot less people. It takes a strong woman to willingly want to carry another person for almost a year, knowing that she has the most pain she will ever experience pending at the end of it and that some of the effects will never go away. You're a strong person for that. Even stronger of you opt to do it more than once."

5. My response, "Thanks...?" His comment was completely out of nowhere. He was joking something up to my computer.

6. I'm hungry. And have a southwestern salad calling me.

7. DH and I saw "Wolf on Wall Street" last night. I liked it. However, all I got from it was that Leonardo DiCaprio is a better actor than I give him credit for (I never liked Titanic *gasp* and really didn't like him until The Great Gatsby) - and that I need ST really, REALLY bad. Haha.

8. My dad has an odd sense of humor. His response to my text about the induction was to send me a link to a YouTube video of Europe's song "Final Countdown." Lol

9. DH is driving me nuts. He's been incredibly sweet with how excited he is for the baby to get here, but every time I yell for him in the house, his response is along the lines of, "OMG, are you alright? Is it time? Did your water break? How far apart are the contractions?" And I'm like, "*long pause*...I just wanted to know if you knew where the extra Sweet N Low packets were. I'm making a pitcher of iced tea for us..."

10. I'm officially out of things to think of

brij2006

@nightmare_of_beauty Mmm Mac n cheese and wine.

1. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks of no liquor!

2. I listen to Dave Ramsey's podcasts while at work.

3. There are 30 e-mails in my inbox and it's driving me insane. OCD is kicking in like crazy!

4. There's a webinar in 30 minutes, and I'm excited to not have to answer the phones or door for an hour.

5. The office has been insanely busy this week, and my co-worker and I are going crazy.

6. I brought home a stack of 22 books from my friends' house this weekend.  Read all the books!

7. We had unprotected sex Sunday, and I don't care. Screw TTA. My body doesn't ovulate anyways.

8. People's stupidity on Dave Ramsey's show makes me crazy. Are people really that dumb with money?

9. I'm OCD about the 30 e-mails in my inbox, but my desk looks like a tornado went through it.

10. Chips and queso for lunch. So not healthy. 

wiggyslilsis

@sparklingdiamond WHAT? Discontinued rainbow chip frosting? Like Betty Crocker? That is my absolute favorite! I buy it just to eat with a spoon

@nightmare_of_beauty if your heart isn't in the game for dieting this week then put it off until next week just promise yourself that you will start Monday. It is tough to start but you will feel so much better when you start eating healthier. Plus those meals you posted in the meal plan all sound delicious!

@smbenevides1989 So glad DD is excited about being a big sister!

Cake and ice cream go together nicely. Oh! There is a cold stone by the mall! 

nightmare_of_beauty

@brij2006 It was an awesome combo. Congrats on 2 weeks drink free! 

@wiggyslilsis Thanks. I know I'll feel better once I start and I need to stop making excuses. If I at least get walking again that should start making me feel better and should be the extra push I need to stop making excuses. And I agree with Ava Nichol, Boots is better. I hope you enjoy your first work out tonight! 

sparklingdiamond

@wiggyslilsis Yes that kind!!  It was DH's favorite.  He loved funfetti cake with rainbow chip icing!  And he also would just eat it with a spoon.

@nightmare_of_beauty  Yes!  Maybe I should get some cake batter ice cream!  Ben and Jerrys has one that is yellow cake with chocolate icing (my fav!) and it is soooo good!

wiggyslilsis

@nightmare_of_beauty I find that with trying to diet and exercise that the hardest part is the first step. So if you start by walking then that is good because at least you are taking that first step! I am going to start by walking on the treadmill since it is too cold, rainy and windy to walk outside

PandPMeant2B

@nightmare_of_beauty - Every day is a new day!  Whenever you're ready to start, you will. And don't forget, just because you give yourself a treat now and then (or a small one every day) doesn't make you a failure and doesn't make anything else you've done that day (exercising, eating well, etc.) for nothing.

@smbenevides1989 - Your daughter is cute! When I told my 7 year old niece to go tell her parents (my brother and SIL) that she was going to have another cousin, she yelled, "Auntie P is going to have another cousin!" (which would mean my sister, whose house I was at, was pg again lol.)

@sparklingdiamond - Now I want cake too.  Thanks!

@wiggyslilsis - GL with potty training!

1. My parents are coming to visit this weekend.  I can't wait!

2. I honestly don't know how women have two kids really close together; I can't imagine taking care of a toddler while being this exhausted!

3. The discussion about BF got me thinking also.  I had a reduction about 6 years ago and ever since have been worried that I won't be able to BF. It's really important to me and I know, logically, if I can't it doesn't make me a failure, but I'm afraid I will still feel guilty because it's something I chose to do.

4. DH just told me the transformer in our backyard blew. I hope they fix it soon; he must be freezing! Also, dinner is in the crockpot lol.

5. I wish I worked for one of those awesome companies that has napping rooms for employees.

6. I hope the [third] dress I ordered for my BFFs wedding next weekend comes in a few days and fits. I'm really starting not to like the last one I got, but it fits, so I'll wear it if I have to.

7. That's all I got...

wiggyslilsis

@sparklingdiamond oh no funfetti cake with rainbow chip frosting is my birthday cake every year. I am going to have to stock up on it and buy it wherever I see it!

nightmare_of_beauty

@PandPMeant2B I always try to remind myself of that when I do slip a bit. And out of the 5 people I currently know that are pregnant (and there are also 3 that just had them) only 1 of them is their first. The rest had a baby in 2012 so they have toddlers. My cousin just had her first in July 2013 and is pregnant again, due in August! I wouldn't want them that close. I'd at least like potty trained. 

GoodWolf

1. I think I feel my ute growing. It's really subtle pain/pressure/stretching feeling and it's super weird. 
2. Really (really!) looking forward to hearing the HB at my appt tomorrow. 
3. Because of @amccul20, I want a hunk of cheddar like no tomorrow.
4. If I didn't feel so pathetic asking, I would work from home today because I'm so incredibly exhausted.
5. I had a dream last night we're having a boy - I'm not going to lie, now I hope we are!
6. I've been sleeping in really late the last two weeks, and I need to start getting to work earlier again! Bad habit.
7. Gosh I really want that cheese...
8. We're starting to plan our babymoon! Hate planning, but I'm glad we're making it happen.
9. I told my boss about the baby last week, and he said I had the option to work from home part-time after the baby is born, since I told him I planned to not come back to work. Not sure if I will work, but it would be awesome to have a little extra income... we'll see!
10. 9 is a good number. 

LuckyAngel07

1) I can't stand canned frosting...or the buttercream frosting on grocery store cakes. Those two things are the reason I thought I hated frosting almost my whole life.

2) I had to go to the store to get DH gatorade and medicine (he's still running a fever on and off), and I'm now going to town on a the bag of Jelly Bellies I snagged for myself.

3) Root beer jelly bellies FTW!

4) So glad today is a WFH day; the weather is blah and the animals are snuggly.

5) I have another appt tomorrow!!! I'm so anxious to see the heartbeat again.

6) One of my BFFs is having her baby shower this weekend! Can't wait to see my friends and tell them the news (since we've talked about the loss, I'm ready for them to know).

7) No nausea at all so far today! Woohoo!

8) Jelly Bellies!

9) Jelly Bellies!

10) Jelly Bellies!

nightmare_of_beauty

@LuckyAngel07 You should come visit me, a local store has Jelly Belly you can buy by the pound in whatever flavor you want, ask @brij2006

lindsayandjamie

1) MEXICO in 9 days!

2) My beverage of choice is water or soda water.  When I was pregnant I only wanted lemonade and various juices.  I once went to the store and bought an entire card full of beverages. I looked like I was hosting a party, but it was all for me.

3) I went for lunch today for a co-workers b-day and had the most delicious sandwich but now I feel guilty for eating the majority of the fries.

4)  I am really looking forward to sexing/napping/hanging with DH for a week.  Quiet alone time is such a gift.

5) I was away for the weekend on a girls trip and I came home Sunday afternoon to a disaster of a house, laundry everywhere, a dirty counter, a toddler who was mad I left, and a lazy man watching football. 

6) BUT, he surprised me with an early anniversary present - a diamond anniversary band I have been coveting! I quickly forgave the mess and am so grateful to have a man I can rely on to handle things no questions asked for a weekend.

7) Also, I was shocked about the ring because we don't buy each other anni gifts...so surprisingly sweet.

8) I watch the Bachelor on Mondays and I feel no shame in admitting it.

9) I take DS to swimming lessons on Tuesdays and I really don't want to get in the pool, but he loves it so much so I don't want to miss it either.

10) I'm scared to start TTCing again even though I know our chances of it happening again are less than 1%. 

 

brij2006

@nightmare_of_beauty I'm still hoarding my bag of Juicy Pear. It's dwingling, but slowly.  H keeps asking if he can eat some yet.  Hell no!

saisongbird

1) The heartburn is getting worse.  I was up 7 times last night and NOTHING made the nasty taste in my mouth/throat go away until I was able to get a 3 hour block of sleep.

2) Lower/back of hips - OWWWWWWW!!!

3) I really want to eat whatever I want, but I'm afraid that I have GD - waiting until next week is not helping my nerves!

4) I have private lessons until 8 tonight, and then a 40 minute commute home.  The money is good but I'm starting to really think it's not worth it...

5) Commuting sucks.  I can't get comfortable in the car.

6) I am almost done with baby girl's cross-stitch birth record!  I finished the back stitching last night and tomorrow will start practicing the French knots.

7) A couple of my colleagues are driving me nuts.  We have a district wide elementary honor chorus that I am conducting.  These two are bitching about music when they haven't even sent me their rosters.  Um, how am I supposed to tell the schools which parts they're singing when i don't even know my numbers?

8) Rain, rain, go away.  Come again some other day!

9) All of my classes LOVED their activities today.  It made the day really easy.

10) My 5th grade orchestra sight-read half of a song today!  Granted, we broke it down into 4 and 8 measure sections, but they are getting so much better at reading!

11) Time to go eat a protein bar.  I'm hungry.  Let the lessons begin...

bridget0117

1. I like beef jerky.

2. I need to quit eating yummy food.

3. I almost crashed this morning. It was snowing and when I turned my car just kept sliding. I was about to hit a car and thank god my car stopped like an inch away from the car.

4. If I would have been going faster I would have hit that car.

5. DD has her 4 month appointment on Thursday.

6. DH and I have been arguing over the dumbest stuff lately.

7. We usually make up within an hour. Lol.

8. I'm making tuna salad for dinner.

9. I have almost everything ready to do our taxes. Yay me!

10. I have cake calling my name. :-D

sparklingdiamond

I love jelly bellies!  And pear is definitely the best flavor.  And I think the buttered popcorn flavor is disgusting!! Eww!

Target used to have it where we could buy whatever flavor we wanted, but they took that out of their stores :-(

nightmare_of_beauty

@brij2006 I can always send more. I could find a way to package them to make them look like nothing fun so YH won't know you have more. hehe 

@saisongbird I would love to see the cross stitch record when you're done, it sounds cute! 

@bridget0117 I still haven't received my W2s and neither has H. So we're still waiting... Also my dad usually does our taxes and he takes his time so not planning on having them soon anyway. I'm glad you didn't crash, that was a sign to turn around and go home! 

bridget0117

@nightmare_of_beauty, we still haven't received our forms either but I needed to add up what we spent on diesel, what we paid the guys, etc.

I'm really trying not to slack on doing taxes this year because the sooner we get them done the sooner we can start looking for a home to purchase.

pennstated912

Ugh. I need Jelly Bellies STAT now!

nightmare_of_beauty

haha 

Should I start taking orders for flavors you guys want me to send? 

When I was a kid I was part of their fan club and got sent new flavors before they came out with them. Only flavor I remember is getting Dr. Pepper. Not a fan of the drink, but love the jelly bean! 

PandPMeant2B

mmmm Jelly Bellies!

@LuckyAngel07 - your #1 sounds like a FFC.. and also a little blasphemous, if you ask me. Give me all the sugar!

@GoodWolf - DH and I both dreamed LO was a boy, but my mom dreamed it was a girl.  I hope my mom is right!

@lundsayandjamie - I wanna see your ring! Also, lemonade sounds really good right now.  Ah, the power of suggestion!
