Ten Things Tuesday
Add your confessions, UOs, randoms, etc.
Here are mine...
1. Ava Nichol loves Jell-o so I just sat on the couch and shared a cup with her. Mmmm strawberry!
2. WTF weather...4 to 7 inches of rain between now and Thursday, really?!?
3. I am flip flopping so much on ttc #2. One minute I am so excited and August seems so far away and then bam I get terrified about being able to parent two kids and want more one on one time with Ava Nichol. Someone please tell me this is normal?
4. Our dog is allergic to dog food, among other things. We were making his food for a while but he is a big dog (80lbs) and he was eating so much! We finally decided to try blue basics and it works! But now Frankie is upset because he loved the fresh cooked food.
5. Everything is all ready to go for Ava Nichol's bday party on the 24th except no one is rsvp'ing. Come on people it is just common courtesy!
6. We are moving this weekend! I am so excited but a little emotional because this is Ava Nichol's first move and it will be so different for her.
7. When I am done with this I am going to go put a beef roast in the crockpot.
8. I am getting tired of feeding Ava Nichol the same things all the time but I am being lazy about coming up with new ideas.
9. All I want to eat is sweets and I have no idea why.
10. I am due for my next depo provera bc shot on April 5th but I don't think I am going to get it I want to allow my body time before August to regulate plus I hate the way it makes me feel with the mood swings and more.

Re: Ten Things Tuesday
1. I hate chicken with bones. I wish I was a kid and someone would cut it off the bone for me. Lol
2. I need comfortable shoes.
3. I forgot to pull meat out of the freezer at home this morning.
4. I like having 'single girl' nights when DH is on afternoons like he is this week.
5. This baby isn't going to have a name at the rate we are going!
6. I would really like to know who is covering my Mat leave for me 'officially' instead of just hearing rumours in the hall.
7. The spell check on Google Chrome is obviously American.
8. 10 is a lot of things
9. Feeling the baby kick is still thrilling to me.
10. March is such a weather tease.

2. I am also getting new bedroom furniture on Thursday which makes me very happy.
3. I hate the rain and all it does around here lately is rain or snow. I want some sun!
4. DH has been so sweet since we found out I was pregnant...I love him!
5. I keep thinking I should feel things I am not. Like I should magically feel different because I am pregnant. IDK I guess I just thought that is what happened!
6. I think I need some bigger pants.
7. My best friend is a guy.
8. Business is slow here...it needs to pick up so I can make some more $!
9. I saw the new Oz on Saturday...you should go...it was awesome!
10. I could probably eat pizza 4x a week!

8. This Thursday is my last monthly appointment. Then, I'll go down to every 2 weeks!
9. Only 10 more weeks of work, and only 12ish more weeks of pregnancy!
10. I cannot wait to meet this kid!
1. I feel like such a bad nestie because I don't have enough time to post everyday. I feel like such a bad friend/supporter.
2. I am fighting a terrible cold. Luckily, nobody else in the house has caught it from me. I have no idea how I got it since I haven't really been around people or out in public, but here I am with the cold.
3. I really hate my phone. It delivered 3 messages that were sent to me on Saturday to me today. Stupid thing!
4. I am obsessed with saving money/finding deals. I check our bank account multiple times a day like it is magically going to create money itself.
5. My brother is one of my best friends. However, I really wish he would be careful with the girls he has been messing around with. I know he is young and ready to 'mingle', but he is taking it to the extreme.
6. I really want a dog, but DH is convinced that we need to let Liam grow up a little bit more.
7. I am nervous and excited for Liam's foot appointment next month. He may transition to having his braces on only at night. Wooohooo!!
8. I hate everything Sesame Street, Thomas the Tank, Dora, etc. I like abstract things like dots and stripes, etc.
9. My new favorite food is tuna stuffed mushrooms smothered in cheese.
10. I am so excited to put Liam in his Easter outfit!!
1. My workday is infinitely more tolerable when I can go home for 45 minutes to see DH and L on Mondays and Tuesdays.
2. I wish I could get paid to pin things on Pinterest.
3. I have a really hard time figuring out what my personal style is. I like too many things.
4. I really want some beef stew with a big piece of bread and butter.
5. We need to start being consistent with our bedtime routine for L or we will be screwed very soon.
6. I am trying to figure out how to go freelance. I love designing and editing pictures, and obviously my photography. I hope I can figure this out.
7. Our landlord reminded us we need to inform them by April 1 if we'll renew our lease June 1. *gulp*
8. When I received that email, I cried. I'm pretty sure we're stuck here another year.
9. I kind of want to go out with DH and get wasted and have awesome ST like we used to.
10. I want to get back into painting.
my blog
1. 10 things are a whole lot of things.
2. I was trying to order new contacts before my perscription expired. I ordered them today. It expired yesterday. Now I have to go for an eye exam before I order contacts.
3. I always am so hungry when I eat, finish way before i feel full and then 10 minutes later I want to throw up.
4. I do not have a nesting instinct yet. Every time I go into the nursery room I want to cry, because it is a disaster and I have no time to touch it.
5. My feet are exhausted at the end of the day, even if I'm not on them much. I wasn't expecting this until much later in pregnancy.
6. I get annoyed when people ask about how cool it is to feel the baby move. I'll let you know when I am actually feeling the baby move. Although, I know it isn't anybody's fault that I'm not really feeling him.
7. We really need to start purchasing things for baby. H wants to wait until after the baby shower, but that makes me slightly panicky.
8. It is cold today. I was hoping the 60 degree weather would stick around.
9. I miss wine. A lot. I finished my girl scout cookies today. That makes me irrationally sad.
B Born 6.27.13
1. My sisters dog is really annoying, she doesn't stay still and wakes up really early :-/

4. Our weather sucks, it was supposed to be 60 degrees today and it snowed all night last night.
5. I need to stop by the liquor store to buy some lime salt, I'm addicted to that thing!
6. We finally got our airplane tickets and our hotel booked, now all we need is the car!
7. I think I'm more excited about going to Disney land then my niece is, LOL!
8. I honestly hate having an older sister who is so irresponsible, now I have to sit here and clean her mess up because she always gets in trouble and mom and I have to help her out or else we are bad people, I'm over it!
9. DH stresses me out sometimes!
10. My hair is really upsetting me, I can't dye it so it looks so ugly and It needs a trim but DH doesn't want me smelling all the fumes at the hair salon, blah!!
1. I want to get WGW.
2. I am back at pre-pregnancy weight, but my body is not the same shape. I'd rather weigh more but get my old shape back.
3. My mom cooks us a lot of meals every week and it's amazing to not have to cook every night.
4. I want mint green pants.
5. No matter how much straightening up I do, I feel like our house is gross and overrun with stuff.
6. "Newsroom" is a great show. I'm sad this season is over.
7. It's only March and I'm already sad about going back to work in September.
8. The idea of ever taking a baby on a vacation seems daunting.
9. I want the warm-ish (50s and sunny) weather we were having to come back!
10. I just want to eat cookies all.night.long.

1. My kid slept 12 hours last night. Sleeping in until almost `10 but of course I woke up at 7.
2. Shots yesterday were so hard on me and on her but I hate that she has to go through this.
3. I really would love to have my body back and not breastfeed but I know it is best for her and us financially so I am sticking to it.
4. My me time is cooking and cleaning the kitchen and that is fine.
5. We have our first walk on Sunday and it is supposed to be a 10k but it could be tough to get through.
6. A sometimes cries out in her sleep and it is so weird.
7. I'm not worried about when A gets transferred to her crib. She sleeps so well in the RnP.
8. I really want to go to this 2 day concert in May but my supply will tank bc I can't bring A and I don't know how I will pump.
9. Seeing A smile is the best thing in the world.
10. Seeing DH interact with A is so heartwarming.
Audrey does this, too. Makes me sad that she might be having bad dreams.

L also cries out in his sleep. It bothers me more than when he is screaming because he is tired or hungry. He just sounds so sad when he is having a night terror.
Not sure if this will be helpful or not, but my optometrist let me order 6 months of contacts without an exam because pregnancy can mess with your vision. It might be worth a phone call....
1. I have little to no motivation to do any work at my job. I'm facing a mountain of paperwork to get caught up on before LO arrives and I just want to sit in my fat pants and eat terrible foods.
2. I can't stop going in LO's nursery because it makes me so excited to think about her getting here.
3. I've had a crazy urge to go out drinking because several cocktails sound delicious
4. I sometime gets really angry at man kind after therapy sessions and I hear all of the terrible things that happen to people.
5. I'm getting a little tired of people asking me how I feel. I'm tired and cranky but I'm fully capable of still working at getting around. My mother is amazing, but she's become a little overprotective lately and is treating me like I'm disabled.
6. My DH is becoming more annoying to me lately since it seems like he's decided it's a perfect time to enjoy male PMS. He also mocks how difficult it is for me to get out of bed in the morning and I want to punch him. To be fair I don't think he understands that it makes me angry.
7. My dog is probably one of my best friends. I will need intensive therapy when she is no longer around.
8. I'm getting fan girl excited to see all of the YA novels I like being turned into movies and TV shows.
9. This is going to sound extremely bratty and I'll take ownership of that, but I'm a little sad that I haven't heard of any of my coworkers putting together a potluck before I go on maternity leave. For the other coworkers who've been pregnant and gone on mat leave we've done a potluck and joint baby gift. I've got about 3.5 weeks left and no one has said or done anything (for the others we've held them at least 5 weeks prior).
10. I want a mani/pedi and full body massage but can't justify spending the money.
My mom and I joke about what could possibly be a nightmare for a baby: all the bottles are gone, no milk in the boobies, dirty diaper, having to fart and that was about all we had.
