My ten things.... 

1. My mom invited my ten year old cousin to come stay with her but she has to stay with us during the week because my mom has to work. 

2. I appreciate the help and her playing with Ava Nichol but I am having a hard time not stressing out and wanting to just take over. I have already had to explain that there are some things that only I can do, like feed her snacks and change her clothes.

3. I think this is just my anxiety creeping in so I am trying really hard to just relax and let them have fun. Also, I will say how about you pick the clothes and I will put her in them or I will give you snacks to share with her.

4. I am excited for Ava Nichol's 2nd gymnastics class tomorrow morning!

5. There is also a library event called treasure island I want to take her to but her gym class is over at 1130 and the library thing is at 2 and I don't think that is enough time to get home, have lunch, nap and get back into town.

6. I am disappointed in our recent ice cream choice. We got mint chocolate chip and it is so overly minty. It is almost like eating toothpaste

7. I am on my 3rd week of BCPs and the migraines are finally going away. I have been getting one every day for just under 2 weeks.

8. DH applied for a job yesterday and should hear back today. It is the same pay and doing the same thing but the benefits are better and he won't have to work on his truck after hours!

9. Also, the new shop is right next door to an anytime fitness so DH could get a membership. He has gained quite a bit since DD was born. He started eating healthier and lost almost 30lbs. I am so proud of him! This would be the next step to a healthy lifestyle.

10. I accidentally bought our dog the wrong food. I got regular blue healthy weight large breed and we usually get blue basics healthy weight large breed. He has crazy allergies but we decided to try it anyway because the biggest ingredient difference was chicken instead of turkey and we know he isn't allergic to chicken. Fingers crossed he doesn't have a reaction to it!

1. Wiggy, Glad to hear that the migraines are going away. And good luck to your DH, hopefully he gets the job!! 

2. I am being such a lazy right now. I need to get up and get this show on the road or I will be running around like a crazy woman later!!

3. I can't believe I will be 22 on Thursday. It feels like just yesterday I was dying to be 21.

4. At the hospital where I plan to give birth they offer this coupon book. Every time I go see my doctor I have to take the book, they give me a sticker and I send it through the mail and get free stuff for LO. I'm pretty excited about this, I will be getting a free car seat, free stroller, and a month in a half of free diapers, just for giving birth in that hospital. 

5. I feel really bad for my mom. I hate how stressed out she is over my sister. My sister will never change and will always be a loser but my mom can't give up on her. I'm scared my mom will get sick from all the dumb choices my sister makes.

6. I really regret picking these apartments to live in. I wish I could do something to break the contract!!

7. I hate, hate, hate my SIL. She's mad because I didn't sign for her to get a new truck so now she's bffs with DHs ex and DH called to tell her wth and now she won't be throwing me my second baby shower.

8. Number 8 really bothers me!!

9. I'm addicted to corn flakes! They'reeeeee greeaaaattt!!! Lol!!

10. I wonder if they will draw blood again today? Since they found out I'm anemic, do you ladies think they will draw blood to see if my levels are going up? Or how does that work?

1. Bridget0117-We are birthday buddies. Only I am 10 years older. Ha! I will be 32 on Thursday! : )

2. I am kind of sad that I have my GD test the day after my birthday. I feel like I can't have cake on my birthday because I am afraid it will mess with my results Friday morning. I love cake. : (  And it has to be the cake with the really sugary frosting. The whip cream frosting is a waste of time. ; ) 

3. I am also nervous for the results of the GD test. I know there is no avoiding it if I have it. I have my SIL's voice in my head who said that because I have PCOS I will for sure have GD. Anyone know how true that is? My PCOS didn't effect my insulin levels before hand.

4. I can't believe I am in 3rd tri already. Kind of scary how fast it's all going...

5. Not sure what color to paint nursery. We have a reddish brown wood floor, dark wood furniture, light wood glider, and a white dresser. Kind of a modge podge of stuff. We have a blue ish gray area rug. I have a yellowish brown picked out for paint. Any thoughts?

6. I am so tired lately. I feel like I could sleep forever!

7. We need to buy a new vehicle. We are thinking of going mini van. But having difficulty deciding between Dodge Caravan or Toyota Sienna.

8. It's so hot and muggy and gross outside lately. Would love to go swimming!

9. Ice Cream sounds so good right now!

10. Hope everyone is having a good week so far!!!

I only have one thing to say today:

I just found out today that out of my graduating high school class, which was only like 120-150 people, there are three of us girls due on October 1st! How weird is that? 

EmyB30

1. Every time I've posted something on TN it eats my post...and then makes me log in five times after....so let's hope this work!

2. My Subway pizza was oh so yummy...too bad it took me forever to eat it because I couldn't fit anymore in my stomach unless I leaned back a little to get some more room

3. Now I'm enjoying a cookie from Subway....

4. Madeline my baby shower is in 4 days also!! And I'm registry stalking today...it's fun you should try it!

5. I'm hoping MH finishes the electrical issues in lil mans room so we can start putting things back in there and getting it somewhat organized... 

6. I met a girl today that I was doing casework on and she was telling me her due date etc., which is the same as mine and we share the same doctor etc., but then she said OH MAYBE WE HAVE OUR PERIODS AT THE SAME TIME SINCE WE CONCIEVED AT THE SAME TIME....that was the end of that conversation.

7.After reading Madeline's post I may start trying to walk a little each day, I have a horrible back anyway so it may help labor out some if I have some muscle tone in my back

8. I got a $40 gift card to Kohls last weekend at my first shower to spend on myself or baby....I may go splurge a little tomorrow and buy baby and I something nice

9. Work is horribly slow right now and I'm bored and want to go home and put my swollen feet up!

10. Only 2.5 months till I get to meet my little man....it's going to FLY!

1. I'm in a funk.

2.  I'm getting the babies to sleep in their cribs. I know it's early, and it bothers me that we kicked them out of our room before 6 months. They only sleep one three hour stretch so far. 

3. I'd love more sleep.

4. I'm tired of the food in the house, but I don't know what I want.

5. I had amazing Indian food yesterday. Yumm. Butter chicken.

6. I want DH to bring me home flowers.

7. I'm so happy for lb.

8. Rads little Ben is adorable. Happy late birthday, rads.  

9. I'm going to Santa Cruz on Thursday & Friday. I can't wait.

10. Wigg, I'm glad you post this.

11. My babies don't smile at me yet. I don't want to compare my babies to others, but I want a smile. Damn it.

I actually have time during nap time to respond today! 

Bridget-Thanks! That is awesome about your hospital freebies

Kanels- I think a goldenrod color paint could tie all those colors together well and good luck with your GD test!

Mad-I absolutely loved the pedicure/foot and leg massage I got while pregnant...it felt so good! Sorry the BP monitor isn't covered...boo. 

Emy-Yay! The nest didn't eat it :)Also, uhm Awkward lady. 

Venti- Good luck with the cribs! I really hope it leads to more sleep for you. Also, Ava Nichol didn't smile as early as other babies and then when she finally did it was only at the skylight or a shiny balloon I had. I was desperate for a mommy smile by the time I finally got one...I totally understand!  

MRads

Awww, thanks Venti! I want more pics of your babies!

We're going to work on transitioning to a cradle this weekend, once the miracle blanket comes. He's sleeping in his RNP, but I want him used to sleeping on a flat surface. I figure, he doesn't sleep longer than 1.5 hours anyway. We might as well get him to used to sleeping flat.

I have never talked to her but I have always lurked on the GP board and I too am very happy for her.

Congrats lb, wishing you a H&H 9 months!!

Okay I have ten things now.

1. Wiggy - Sounds like you have a busy week! Glad your migraines are going away!

2. Bridget - That is an awesome deal your hospital is giving you! I'm jealous! Also, sorry about your apartments...Is it something specific that's bugging you?

3. Kanels - I think yellow would be perfect for that room.

4. Mad & EmyB - July 13th is my shower too! I'm so excited!

5. Speaking of showers, I am totally guilty of registry stalking also. So far guests have bought our travel system, an Arms Reach Co-Sleeper, high chair, PnP and some receiving blankets, hats, etc. My family is seriously awesome.

6. Venti - I'm sooo happy for lb too! I got all emotional and excited.

7. I found out last week that another one of my cousins is pregnant, which makes four of us just on my dad's side (although one already had her baby). So my grandparents are getting to have quite a few new great-grandchildren, and my little one with have lots of cousins her age now.

8. My dad told me that my 88 year old grandpa really wants to make it out to my shower this weekend, but I know it likely won't happen. He's so weak, and can't even walk from the living room to the bathroom without help, and they have a really small house...So we'll see. I think he wants to do it because he figures this is probably his last year anyway, so he might as well try to do everything he wants to.

9. Little miss is starting to kick and move around enough to cause some pain now. She gave me a nice kick to my side the other day, and it really hurt!

10. I just realized I will be 200 days pregnant on Saturday. Holy crap!

7. I'm so happy for lb.

Me too  

You guys totally made me tear up. Thank you!  

lb1117

1. I am so not used to posting on GPM and always forget to check. 

2. Thanks for the love ladies.

3. I hate that all food sounds gross. I got sick last night and now I am scared to eat. But...my stomach is growling and I am hungry.

4. Anyone have tricks for migraines? Mine was awful for 6 hours before I got relief.

5.  I am slightly annoyed by my doctor. I don't even have an OB yet. Apparently my family doctor is out of the office in July. The earliest appointment they could schedule is August 6th. I know that PCOS increases the risk of m/c. This has me very, very nervous. 

6. I told one of my best friends today. She is the first person that I have told in person. It was amazing!

7. I am still feeling very unattached from this pregnancy. Is this normal?

8. I can't think of anything else to say.  

TudorRose11

1. I felt the strongest movement yet today! I literally think it was his entire head (or butt) in my hand. Incredible.

2. DH and I watched Silver Linings Playbook over the weekend. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it already.

3. I am so depressed that this is the final season of Dexter.

4. We're supposed to close on our house in less than 3 weeks. I am "reverse nesting" and packing like crazy but I don't feel like I'm making a ton of progress.

5. I've spent all day thinking about the baby as a newborn. I just can't believe he is ours.

6. I'm going to the zoo with my best friend and her little girl tomorrow!

7. Tomorrow is viability day!

8. I want a piece of cheesecake.

9. I need to re-paint my toenails but I haven't felt like it. They aren't chipping yet but it's close.

10. I also want a mega tall (whatever it's called) Chai Tea Latte. Bad.
