I'm feeling the baby move pretty much daily now.
I've had the last 5 days off of work.
I got a new sewing machine, and am super duper excited all the things my creative self will make.
I do not have to leave the house or even change out of my PJ's!
My BFF sent me a REALLY sweet card I *heart* her!
I got to snuggle with MH for like a half an hour this morning...love it!
I have been good about food today. So far.
I have Cheetos waiting for me at home.
Apparently we bought cereal that came with a "toy", and my h put a little stuffed animal Nemo in my purse today. It made me laugh when I found it.

I am finally meeting/interviewing a midwife this afternoon.
It looks like I'm going to be writing a huge account which means major $$$ to pay off more of the surprise! debt ex-H sprung on me.

I haven't cried today. (It's my first day back at work.)
My co-workers seem really happy to see me.
My in-laws sent me a pretty thing of flowers with a note, "signed" by my baby girl, which read, "We'll both be fine, Mommy!"
I'm happy its a short work week, I just hope it goes by fast
I'm excited to have booked our flights to Boston, its been over 1.5 years since I visited home
Wan - whats the talapia recipe you're trying out? H and I love talapia so I'm always interested in new recipes.
Of course, they are happy! I bet they are ecstatic! ?
In contrast, one of my co-workers just announced that she is NOT coming back (on the eve of her expected return, no less), and we are all fucking_pissed about it.?
Awww, thanks!
And that's lame-o of your co-worker. Some companies make folks pay back their insurance costs when they do that.
I have 6 weeks left until maternity leave
Baby girl is growing like a weed.
My husband is working his butt off and then hurrying home to help me cook dinner, etc. so I can rest and put my feet up after work.
It's a 4-day work week.
No wonder you needed to get off that island yesterday ..... congrats!
What sweet ILs :-)

We don't give a flying_fuck about the insurance costs. It takes months to interview, approve, and hire new candidates at our company. If she had just told the truth earlier, we could've had a replacement by now. Instead, everybody will be working like dogs for even longer.
This made me tear up. How sweet is that?
Awww!!
And Weemo - why wouldn't she tell ahead of time? Is your company not going to make her pay back her insurance costs or her salary that she may have received? That's bogus. I know at my old job, you had to come back for 3 months minimum at full billing capacity otherwise you'd be on the hook for paying the maternity benefits back.
Oh, yeah. There's that, too.
No idea.
I have been told that I am cold and callous about these things and that it's none of my business what a mother decides to do because I can't understand the position unless I've been in it.
All this may be true.
But I certainly understand the aftermath of such decisions as a co-worker and as someone who has witnessed hiring decisions after multiple occurrences of the mommy-is-leaving phenomenon (i.e., there is an unspoken reluctance to hire more women).
And that is all I have to say on the topic.?
I'm so happy for you!
I haven't used a sewing machine in years, but I've always wanted to make stuff... you're my inspiration
What an asshat move!
I'm sorry to hear this.
