Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1. I love how easy it is to post pictures on mobile now!

    2. I still need to post pictures of the stuff my mom and I make for Vent I (and anyone else) but those pictures are on the computer not my phone.

    3. DD has been sleeping all night and sleeping in lately. I feel amazing and she has a much better daily routine.

    4. I don't feel like getting dressed today but I will still get DD dressed before DH gets home.

    5. The board seems more active today. Doesthis mean the new fformat is working?

    6. Maybe it will be cool enough after dinner for a family walk. That would be nice.

    7. We went grocery shopping! It is nice to see food in the cupboards and fridge again.

    8. I am going to try to make dinner more. DH has been coming home and making dinner after he gets off work and then I feel like a bad wife.

    9. DH makes such a mess when he cooks sohim making dinner also means more work for me cleaning up.

    10. I would love to see more pictures of every one on here :)

  • I think that 36 weeks is normal but like you said you can turn them down until later. I gotmy first check at 33 weeks and that is when I got my gbs test as well but I went into early labor at 31 weeks and they stopped it so that may have been why.

  • 1) Oh, hello nausea, there you are!  Granted, it was brought on by walking a little pup and her not so lovely poop, but oy.

    2) I miss my bed.  The air mattress is not cutting it.  One more night...

    3) I am so tired...

    4) I miss my tv.  The friend I am taking care of doesn't have one.

    5) I have a chance at being recalled as a leave replacement to the district that I was cut from.  It was supposed to be at the HS that my MS kids would be going to.  I found out yesterday that while I will likely be recalled, they moved another person to the HS and if I do get offered a job, it will be doing elementary GM with strings.  I hate elementary GM.  There's a REASON that I didn't apply for ANY elementary jobs this time around...if I wanted an elementary job, I would have applied for those probationary ones!

    That's all I got.  Oh, and my bug bites itch!

  • 1. I hardly slept at all last night. Tossing and turning all night. And it's super hard to toss and turn right now. 

    2. I agree @madeline10L...I liked the Bachelorette as well! And I love Juan Pueblo! Happy he is the next Bachelor! : )

    3. I totally just tried out the tagging on Madeline in number 2. 

    4. I am kind of liking the new format. Takes a little getting used to but seems more user friendly. I love how easy it is to upload pics. 

    5. Our 4th anniversary is on Thursday. Mike and I both also have a 3 day weekend. Not sure what we will do though... We were going to go up north to my parents cabin but  my OB said she wouldn't go anywhere at this point in the pregnancy where there is not good emergency care within 30 minutes. That totally puts the cabin on back burner till after baby boy is here.

    6. I am wearing a maternity dress I got on clearance at Target for $10. I had it for months but every time I tried it on at home I didn't like it. I finally said screw it and wore it today. It's so comfy and I am loving it! 

    7. Why would you turn down cervical checks? Can it move things along???

    8. FFC-At least once or twice or three times a day I kind of freak out a little bit about how close we are getting to having a baby. Most times when I sleep in, I wake up thinking...these days are numbered. But then at the same time...I am getting so excited to meet our baby boy!

    9. I really wish it were Thursday already.  I am so over work lately.

    10.  Hope everyone is having a great day!!!

  • I'm sorry @saisongbird I know you were talking before about how you prefer working with older kids. Are you going to take the elementary school position if they offer it?

  • @wiggyslilsis - I feel like I would have to.  The way the seniority dates on the recall list work, I am #5.  I need 94 days of service to pass #3.  #1 isn't taking any jobs, and #2 was recalled to a permanent position, so if I take it I would be #2 on the recall list by the time I am ready to go out on leave.  And I would be able to go for the rest of the year (April-June) and not lose a spot on the recall list.  It would put me in a place where if they don't make more cuts, I have a really good shot at being recalled when LO is 6 months.

  • 1. Wigg, right there with ya. And I can't wait to see your creations. (and your moms). Your list could be mine!

    2. Can you easly load pictures from an I phone now?

    3. I don't want to lose all you guys to fb.

    4. I'm sitting here trying out my manual pump. I hate it, but it's going to help in my efforts to pump more and give them mostly my milk.

    5. I'm tired of the guilt trips I get from family to get the twins over to see them. It's a lot of work to pack the babies up. Family can come see me. Easy!

    6. The dentist wasn't so bad yesterday.

    7. I looked up a Gardner on Craigslist, ffc - and a house cleaner. We're going to get estimates on both. And hire them.

    8. I'm in the bow business!! I YouTube'd the shit out of bow making and bought out the craft store! Woo hoo.
    Now to find the time!

    9. DH left for work overnight, I miss him so much. (I'm not a miss-you-kinda-sappy-girl).

    10. I'm in the market for a new desk... For my new bow business. :)

  • 1. I decided I needed a 20 minute nap, I woke up like an hour later.

    2. This new format isn't that bad, I just need to get used to it.

    3. I just ordered a stuffed crust pizza. I am craving it so so so bad!!

    4. DH is the sweetest man I know. I am seriously head over heels for that man!!

    5. I am loving my new phone! But I still haven't transferred all my stuff onto it, I'm to lazy to be messing with it.

    6. FFC- I love the show Couples Therapy.. I have missed the passed two episodes and it's driving me nuts.

    7. My poor pup is sick. I don't know what to do to help her. If I wasn't allergic to her fur I would fall asleep hugging her!!

    8. I really want Isis to be here already!! I don't want to wait until September.

    9. I can't wait for DH to get home so that I can go to hobby lobby.

    10. FWP- One of DHs old school friends moved into the apartment building right across from us. I mean if they step out on the balcony they see straight on our balcony. Well our dining room table is right by the balcony door and DH and I were having dinner one night and out of the corner of his eye DH sees his friend waving at him. It's weird and now I don't open the blinds all day. Gah it's such a small world.
  • 1) I actually like the new nest. I'm very surprised!

    2) I'm really excited for the new facebook group!

    3) I have 2 HUGE parties for my independent consulting makeup business. I'm hoping to make a decent amount to set aside for baby!

    4) I'm finally getting to the beach next week, we're going over night for 1 night. I don't care that I'm driving 3 hours for this. I need the sand.

    5) Our friends gave us a mountain of swaddlers and receiving blankets that are all gender neutral. Yay!

    6) My left hand hurts, I have no idea why, but it really hurts.

    7) DH is continuing his search for a car and I'm jealous that he's probably going to have a car bigger than mine. I suppose it's not hard to have a car bigger than an aveo.

    8) The world is freaking me out lately, so many shootings in our area. I'm kind of scared to bring a baby into it. 

    9) I lied to a client today at work, he asked me why I wasn't playing the soccer game. I told him that it was because I'm a klutz. His response "I know, that's why you should play. So, I can laugh at you."  

    10) I'm craving pizza from a pizza place that's an hour away. There is no substitute because it has American cheese on it. Don't judge me, it's amazing.

  • @Kanels11 If you go into preterm labor they will sometimes decline to check you because it can stimulate things but I found that just depended on the doctor.

  • 1. Lately, I've been really craving beer. It is driving me nuts not to have one!!

    2. DH asked me what I want for my birthday in September. I'm thinking of telling him I want to hire a cleaning lady once a month. I can do light cleaning but this is getting exhausting with little help.

    3. I really, really want the results of my sequential to hurry up!

    4. My mom told me that she wants to buy the crib for us and to have us pick one out.

    5. I'm really bummed that DH doesn't want to do a group announcement of the gender. It's how I always imagined it happening. He thinks that since his mom isn't exactly my mom's biggest fan that they shouldn't be in the same room when we tell them. My reasoning is that there is going to be a grandchild and they are just going to have to live with it (birthdays, holidays, recitals, etc). Hopefully I can convince him.

    6. I'm going shopping today for a coworker's baby shower gift. I may look for myself as well :)

    7. Today, I feel like I can't find enough food.

    8. I don't HATE the new layout, but I don't like the fact that I can't see siggies on my phone.

    9. DH made me laugh yesterday. We went to lunch yesterday and he goes, "I like that shirt on you. It makes you look pregnant." I was like, "Sweetheart, last time I checked I make me look pregnant. Cause I am." Lol

    10. I desperately need a haircut. Suggestions for new styles? My face is round and nt hair is todiculously long so there's a lot I can do.

  • @pennstated912 good luck convincing DH! That is so exciting that your mom wants to buy the crib and super sweet. Oh and I think the cleaning lady is a wonderful idea :)

  • @wiggyslilsis - I think the cleaning lady will the most difficult battle i will have. Here's hoping because it would make my life sooo much easier.

  • 1. I know I'm supposed to say that baby snuggles are the best thing ever, but I still really enjoy napping with my cat.

    2. I spent way too much on clothes at the mall today

    3. I want to take E to a swim class, but I shudder at the thought of putting on a swim suit. I need to suck it up.
     
    4. I really hate sunny days. It is too hot and I spend all day trying to find shade.

    5. Recently started a C25K and I thought that running was hurting my knees. Turns out that it is rocking E with a twisting motion that I think is doing it.

    6. I'm not sold on the iphone yet. I really liked my Droid.

    7. E will not eat solids. He has no interest. After months of offering solids with virtually no success I'm starting to feel like Sam I Am from Green Eggs and Ham. And now when I read that book I want to scream JUST EAT THE EGGS AND HAM! YOU MAY LIKE IT!!!!  Sam I am has more patience than I do apparently.

    8. Some days I can't imagine what I would do if E did not like being worn.

    9. I wish I could hire a house cleaning service to come every so often.

    10. E loves trying to walk by holding my fingers. Loves it. But he has no balance and I fear that it will be quite a while before he actually can walk independently. I cannot wait until that day though because stooping over so that he can do laps around the room SUCKS.
