Re: Ten Things Tuesday!

  • 1. Ava Nichol has her appt. with the neurologist tomorrow. I think we are just going to talk about what to expect and maybe set up a 24 hour EEG. 

    2. I set up an appt. today with my gyn. I am going back on birth control. DH and I realized that neither of us are actually ready to start trying for another kid yet. We will revisit in 6 months and see if we are ready or will revisit again in another 6 months.

    3. I will not be going back on depo provera. I hated the way it made me feel mentally.

    4. It has been so nice here the last few days and it makes me super excited for all the things I want to do with Ava Nichol this summer! Especially the zoo :)

    5. For my birthday I got 3 dresses, 3 tank tops and shirt. I am happy to have clothes to wear this summer that make me feel good about myself.

    6. I may be small and I may be back down to basically my pre preg weight but my body is not the same. This is okay but sometimes I need to remind myself that it is okay.

    7. We might be getting a washer and dryer this week! Woohoo!

    8. I need to find kids for Ava Nichol to play with. She loves playing with other kids but I can't seem to find anyone who wants to hang out with us. 

    9. I said I would make a casserolle for Mother's Day Brunch on Sunday but I haven't even looked up the recipe yet. I need to get on this. I also need to figure out what to do for my mom. 

    10. My house is a mess but I just don't feel like cleaning right now. Ugh. Maybe Ava Nichol will help me sweep and mop later, she sure does love the broom.

    1. Monday the 13th is our eviction date! We have an appoinent on Thursday to discuss how this will go down, but it looks like I will meet my babies on Monday. I'll be 37 weeks. It's been a rough few weeks with Eloise measuring small, she now looks on track and 37 weeks is where they want me to be. Eek! 

    2. We got the ok to have sex again. This might not sound great to you, but we were told to stop almost a month ago due to the risk of pre term labor. Now we can resume. I miss my husband!

    3. I love my sister and her excitement for the babies, but she is all over fb wayyyy too much.  She has struggled with IF for many years, I watch what I say because I'm lucky she is so supportive through her hurt and pain.

    4. This board has been so slow.

    5. We had a fun cinco de Mayo. It wasn't planned, but everyone ended up at our house and it was fun to hang out with our friends.

    6. Our new AC is in! And of course the weather goes back to normal and we don't need it (right now).

    7. The limo fire on the San Mateo bridge just kills me.

    8. Now that I am so close I worry about a cord accident with the babies. I really hope once I have them on the outside I can relax a little. I'm so tired of being so worried ALL. THE. TIME.

    9. Wigg, glad you're getting a washer and dryer.. What a pain in the asss to not have one.

    10. BBliss, where are you? 'new' girls, how are you guys already 17, 18 and 19 weeks!? It seems like just yesterday you were pushing out your bloat :)

  • 1. I've had 2 bottles of gatorade today.  I am so freaking thirsty lately.

    2. I am not ready to have this baby yet.  OMG.

    3. I think if I can get through this work week, and have one more weekend, I might feel more ready.

    4. My fingers are so swollen I can't close my hand all the way.

    5. I am pissed that Target still hasn't sent me my registry completion coupon.

    6. I have called every place in town and still can't get in to get my car seat inspected.

    7. None of my clothes fit.

    8. My office is a disaster and I need to clean it before I go.  There's no way anyone covering for me could find anything in here.

    9. Baby coming soon.  OMG. (Redundant, I know, but I thought it deserved 2 spots.)

    10. Baby keeps punching me in the cervix.  Ouch.

  • 1. GOOD LUCK VENTI !!!!!! Hope all goes great for you and babies!!

    2. I have book club tonight and the new book picked is a James Patterson book.

    3. Our truck is in the shop. I am ready to get rid of it. It's a 2003 Trailblazer and it's really starting to be a headache. DH has a 1996 Buick and that is running like a champ!

    4. FFC - Dh and I really want a mini van. We actually have wanted one even before baby. They are soo roomy! I do laugh when I type this and I am so not a fan of soccer.

    5. I can't get enough water today.

    6. I have been giving in and drinkin one regular coke a day. It's soo freeking good. Mmmm....

    7. I need summer maternity clothes in the worse way. Nothing fits. The weather is getting pretty nice out also. Have to go shopping but I dont want to spend money...

    8. I want to go a week past my due date. I get 6 weeks maternity leave and I really don't want to go back to work the week of Thanksgiving. I am fully aware I may be singing a different tune come October. ; )

    9. We have the AS scheduled for the 17th! All of our family and friends think it's the 23rd. I am looking forward to having that week of just Dh and I knowing the sex. Although I really don't think we will be able to keep it a secret for long.

    10.  I had a horrible headache last night. Went to bed and still woke up with it. Thankfully it went away  after I ate some breakfast.

    Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday!

    Ummm...I know right?! I was just looking at my weekly bump pictures and I find it comical how I thought I was "getting so big" in my 8-15 week pictures! 

    I don't get how I will be 20 weeks tomorrow! 

    20 WEEKS!!!! Ummm...Half way there!!! : )

  • 1. I need to stop buying baby stuff! I ordered M a WubbaNub off of Amazon and she loves it. I also wish we didn't have some of the stuff we do have because she doesn't like it.

    2. We are considering moving closer to my job. I commute about an hour and a half each direction and don't want to be away from M all of those extra hours a day. Moving takes energy and I just don't have it. I also would have to consider leaving the town I've now lived in for about 9 years.

    3. Some days I feel like a really bad mommy

    4. I may have a Harry Potter movie marathon with M

    5. I also feel like a crappy pet mommy because our dog hasn't gotten nearly as much attention as she used to.

    6. Bad body image day. I wasn't amazing before M but now everything is all stretched and saggy and I don't feel attractive at all.

    7. Adding to 6,I should be cleared for ST next Monday and I'm not sure I'm ready for that.

    8. I wish I had enough money to start a private practice for mental health in my town. We're desperately lacking services and I feel like I'm good at what I do so I'd fill a void.

    9. DH slacked on ordering me the mother's necklace I really wanted so I won't get it in time for Mother's Day. I had to order it myself and I'm being a brat about it. It sounds stupid but I'd waited for quite awhile to be a mommy and I wanted our first one to be really special.

    10. I want a different vehicle. I have a 2012 Ford Fiesta and it's just not big enough for all of us to travel comfortably in. DH hates my taste in SUV's.

  • 1. Wiggy - Have you tried the NuvaRing yet? That one affected my mood the least. Might be worth looking into. :)

    6. I've had the worst heartburn this week. We must be in for a hairy baby. ;)

    7. I've noticed that I haven't been giving DH the attention he deserves and I feel bad. I need to step it up and get back to cooking and making sure I support him while he works his butt off for us. :)

    8. My back hurts, and my hip keeps feeling like it pops out of place. I don't even want to think about how much worse this is going to get. :/

    9. After an ultrasound and cystoscopy, Ive been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis...

    10. I have this Friday off. Yay! :)

  • 1. I am exhausted.

    2. DH thinks I'm pissed off at him because I'm being quiet, since I'm tired.

    3. If he continues to ask if I'm okay, I will be pissed.

    4. I'm ready to meet our little one!

    5.  I put together the stroller last night!

    6. My shower is on Saturday, and I can't wait.

    7. I wish someone would buy our guinea pig.

    8. Did I mention that I'm tired?

    9. I plan on going to sleep early tonight.

    10. I hope I get can get one full night's sleep, I'm tired of waking up so much during the night.

  • MRads- I am totally laughing at myself already for thinking I was big a few weeks ago. I'm sure I'll be laughing all the way up to the due date and wishing I was this small again. Lol

    Also, have a great shower. I hope you get lots of great stuff. :)

  • 1. I really want a new computer. I'm trying to convince DH of buying me one. 

    2. I love our new place and I love our new furniture but I miss my mom so much. Everytime I see her she almost cries and I feel like now we will never hang out as often :(

    3. I'm tired of being a one car family.

    4. I lost my debit card and now I have to wait a week to get a new one. Blah!

    5. Mad and Sg- I can't wait to hear updates on the A/S's.

    6. Venti and NMS- Can't wait to meet the LO's!! How exciting!!

    7. I can't believe that I will be 22 weeks tomorrow!! It seems like just yesterday mad, Sg and I announced our BFP's...

    8. Is it to early to set a date for the baby shower?

    9. I want to spoil my mom this Mother's Day and on her birthday on the 20th!! I don't know if I shoud plan a surprise bday party for her... Hhmmm.. 

    10.  After writting #9, I am now craving cake. Yum!!! 

  • Bridget - In glad you love your new place. I'm sure your mom will come over lots when LO gets here. Also, you're right, it does seen like yesterday that we all announced! :) 

    And I don't think it's too early to set a date for your shower. I'm already looking at dates, mainly because my mom and sisters schedules are booked out a month or two in advance (my sister is in a girl group that's really starting to get out there, so they've been performing everywhere). Plus I want to have it early so I'm not uncomfortable like my cousin was. She was 36 weeks and almost passed out opening gifts. I'm thinking between 28 and 34 weeks.
