Re: Ten Things Tuesday
2. My fingers and toes keep swelling off and on since Saturday. I am concerned.
3. I am doing well in my class online but it sure is stressful to try to get it done on Ava Nichol's schedule and feeling like crap.
4. I am concerned that Ava Nichol isn't gaining enough but she eats fine. We will find out at the end of the month at her 18 month appt but I think she has only gained 2lbs since she was 6 months.
5. I am also going to talk to her doctor about her constant constipation issues.
6. I am hungry but I don't want anything we have here.
7. I am losing weight because I am unhealthy and I don't like it. I am at a healthyweight and if I lose any more I will be getting close to underweight.
8. I want ice cream for breakfast but I don't want Ava Nichol to have ice cream for breakfast so it is a no go.
9. Our weekend away was so nice. Other than missing our baby girl we could have stayed there for another week!
10. DH finally hooked up the DVD/VHS player so I can play our old Disney movies for Ava Nichol! We also got her a bunch of Amazing Animals videos from goodwill I hoping she will like!

2. I need to wash dishes but I don't want to.
3. I have the worst heartburn ever. LO didn't like what we ate yesterday and I had to throw it up this morning. It was bad.
4. My grandma is in town and will be here for when LO is born. I'm excited.
5. I miss my other grandma and wish she was still here to meet Isis.
6. So, we don't speak to DHs parents because they are weird but one of J's cousin told us that DHs mom is telling everyone that I have a black spell on DH. Hahaha It made me laugh so hard the day we found out.
7. I'm sitting at my weekly appointment waiting. I'm bored and hungry.
8. I feel like crying for no reason. :-/
9. Every night I go to bed ready (mentally) to go into labor and it hasn't happened. Lol.
10. I want a red bull, soooo bad!!!
1. We painted our entertainment center with Annie Sloan chalk paint, it was super easy and my SIL & MIL helped, however I regret the color I chose. I'll never tell anyone because I'm great full for the help and don't want to paint it again.
2. The Gardner is here. Love.
3. V is about to wake up because of him. Hate.
4. UO- those huge soft fluffy towels from Macy's... I hate em. I love my hard, thin Walmart towels. I'm sad when the fluffy ones are the only clean ones.
5. E did some tummy time without losing it. Win!!
6. I need to learn how to transition naps to their cribs.
7. I need a 'day off' to get things done. I'll ask mil to sit.
8. Mommy wars are annoying. What works for you might not work for me and that's okay!
9. DH and I are having ST again... Never mind, what I was about to say is wayyyyy too much tmi.
10. Babies up!
1 - @Madeline10L - YAY for full term! So crazy! : )
2 - I am having major issues with carpal tunnel in my hands. My left hand has tingly numb feeling all the time in my fingers. And my right hand has pain. Bad pain if I move my wrist a certain way. I went and got some carpal tunnel braces at Walgreens and they seem to help. It just sucks.
3 - We installed the car seat into our vehicle the other day. It seems loose though. I think I need to take it to a place to have it checked. Not sure what place that is thought...
4 - I now have doc appt's starting every week. My doctor also said that she will be doing cerival checks from here on out. I am not sure how I feel about that yet.
5 - @bridget0117 - I forgot yesterday was Monday also...
6 - I can't believe I have 5 weeks left. And that is if I go the full 40. Hard to believe that I could potentially have an outside baby and day now. At the same time, I am so excited for the baby boom that is about to take place on GPM!
7 - @wiggyslilsis - I am glad that you and your hubby enjoyed your weekend away. I could sooo use one of those right about now. DH is a major home body though. I like to be home too but it would be nice to get away.
8 - @pinkinprovence - That is the one reason I never ordered from Zulily. I feel like I would regret the purchase by the time it got to me.
9 - I need to go get me some lunch. Not sure what I will get. Mcdonalds, Arby's, or Subway. Those are the choice near my work. Someone help...
10 - Hope all of you are having a great Tuesday!!! : )
After awhile, you just want to be with the one who makes you laugh. - Mr. Big
@madeline10L Yay for full term! I'm not sure what you are talking about a post partum belly wrap. I delivered vaginally and didn't have anything like that. Oh and hope your Tuesday is good as well!
@bridget0117 ugh dishes suck! I can't stand doing them. Oddly enough I enjoyed washing DD's bottles and stuff hough.
@venti29 I hate the fluffy towels too! They don't dry nearly as well as the flat cheap ones! Oh and yay for tummy time
@kanels11 Sorry about the carpal tunnel. Our weekend away was at a cabin on a lake in the middle of nowhere so it was like being at home but without all the responsibility! Could you guys get away for something like that?

2) I'm making chicken and broccoli Alfredo for dinner tonight and all I want is Chef Boyardee.
3) I feel really bad that H's birthday is next week and we have no extra money to do anything.
4) My upper back is killing me because I sit in chairs designed for little kids all morning.
5) I returned a bra to motherhood the other day and ended up with 3 maternity shirts instead!
6) I want barbecue. Like real barbecue.
7) I can't wait to see the 50 Shades of Grey movie. Don't judge me. I like smut.
8) 2 school districts in my area are striking. I'm jealous over the 1, but judging the other hardcore because they're striking over having to pay for part of their health insurance.
9) I found out our insurance covers a breast pump!
@Pink Is your belly buttonpopping out? Or just super thin and closed? Mine only is a little bit popped, but mostly looks like a smily face. Lol
@Madeline Yay for full term!! I can't believe how fast our pregnancies have gone by. I can't wait to "meet" baby Maggie!
@Bridget I miss my grandma too. I wish she was here to meet Adalyn. It makes all of this bittersweet.
@Venti My DH is the same way about towels. The scratchy thin ones dry way better than the soft ones. Lol
@Kanels My hands are killing me too. I was dumb as didnt take my rings off when I still could so now I wake up with super tingly hands and fingers from sleeping wrong, and they hurt...
@Teacherlady Im about to go buy new underwear too. The only kinds that fit around my belly are thongs (which I hardly wear because they're uncomfortable) and bikinis (which I only have a couple pairs of). I don't want to buy a lot more though with only a few weeks left...oh the dilemmas of a pregnant woman.
@Ashley I want chicken and broccoli now. That sounds so good!
Also, I bought the next size up in bikini underwear shortly before I had Ava Nichol. It was definitely worth it especially since I had to wear them for a couple months afterwards as well. It seems like a waste when so close to the end but it will be worth it!

1. I'm exhausted. DS has been waking up the past couple nights and last night would not go back to sleep in his crib. I ended up taking him back to bed with me and slept horribly because his head was lodged in the side of my neck under my chin and he kept pushing his feet against DH.
2. I think I'm getting DS's cold. It stinks
3. I feel like I could cry for no reason today.
4. I'm afraid DH is going to make some meat that has been thawed in the fridge for 9 days so it doesn't go to waste because it smells fine. (he's a old fashioned non-waster) The thought of having it touch my mouth makes me want to yack! I will not eat it. I will waste it. He hates that.
5. The past two days when I get past the first few bites of food, when I get to the last few, just it being in my mouth makes me want to barf. I have spit out food lately and thrown away what's left on my plate.
6. Because I can't eat much the past couple days I wake up hungry and have insomnia after. Unfortunately even crackers don't sound good so I usually end up staying hungry until it's time to get up and satisfying my grumbles with water.
7. Even water is nasty to me right now. I usually can drink 10 glasses of water in a day no problem. My beverage choices are usually water and milk. Lately however, both sound gross and I only drink it because I have to.
8. I realized I am full of complaints today.
9. Work stinks. My boss will be gone for the rest of the week and that gives me extra work I don't have time for including some unpleasant jobs.
10. On a happy note, my Gpa is back for good and I hadn't seen him in nearly 4 years so it was nice to see him. DS took right up to him and it was so cute to see.

1. Our first birthing class was last night. It was informative for DH I think but old news to me. Looking forward to next week, though. We will do relaxation techniques for birth.
2. I had an awesome time shopping for baby by myself yesterday. I went to 4 stores and got a car full. No one was giving me their opinion about what I was buying and why I should or shouldn't.
3. My baby shower stressed me out. I'm glad it's over.
4. DH's birthday is the second week in November and I want to get his gift now. I will likely be 1-2 weeks postpartum and can't imagine I'll be able to do much about it then.
5. I love my OB for not making me do a rotation with the other doctors. Because of my surgery he said he wants to be at my birth even if he's not on call. He's awesome.
6. I'm going to eat fast food for lunch and I can't wait.
7. I want a pumpkin spice latte bad.
