wiggyslilsis · September 2013

1. I started a daily med to prevent my migraines. I take it at night because it makes me sleepy. Well it makes me groggy and starving in the morning. I am going to have to buy some more cereal!

2. DH came home yesterday and folded the laundry and put it away. This is very uncommon for him.

3. We are having either French Dips or Pizza for dinner. I don't care either way because they are both delicious and DH will make either of them.

4. We are actually making progress with our business. The consignment store sold all the burp cloths but they only want quick sell items like burp cloths and bibs. I got our Etsy shop started and we signed up for our first bazaar of the season!

5. I got a few more colors of the Sally Hansen Quick-Dri nail polish. Can't wait to do Ava Nichol's nails! Her favorite is a matte teal.

6. I can't believe we are halfway through the month and our fridge and pantry are still well stocked! We saved money and made it last all month by meal planning and making a detailed shopping list!

7. Ava Nichol is going through a word explosion and is starting to put her words together. I am so proud but I also love her babbling nonsense and I am going to miss it when it is gone.

8. I got some Toasted Marshmallow, pumpkin spice and vanilla smellies for the house! It feels like Fall and now it is going to smell like it!

9. I have some Fall decor crafts I want to do myself and with Ava Nichol but I have to collect leaves and it has been raining for 3 days.

10. I think it is time to get Ava Nichol some rubber boots!

1. Anniversary is tomorrow and for that, I got H a dog. I love this dog, but did not enjoy the 3 am wake up barking.

2. H also needs to exercise her (Breezy) more so she won't keep knocking down the curtains.

3. I love fall, but it's second to winter for me. I love the cold. I love sweaters.

4. The big boss is here today and I'm secretly loving it because my manager is actually answering phones, which means less voice mails for me.

5. I haven't had or done my nails since vacation back in June. I really want them done.

6. I can't wait till Saturday. We're telling both our parents and all our siblings! Mine are already think I am, SIL actually had a big clue and still missed it. I made my cell background an image that says "May 2014" and she borrowed my phone and didn't notice.

7. I brought chicken noodle soup for lunch, I'm very excited.

8. I want to go buy a nice sweater to keep at work for in the mornings when it's cold, but I know if I set foot into a store I'll buy more than just one thing.

9. My friend that knows has already bought something for me. I really want to know what it is!

10. I have no desire to have a shower.

Wigg, I'm loving all of yours!!

sparklingdiamond · September 2013

1. I am so over summer and am jealous of all of you that are getting cooler weather!

2. I think insomnia is starting to hit me. I go to sleep just fine, but then I keep waking up to pee and can't get back to sleep. Frustrating! I am dragging today.

3. I am so anxious for my appt on the 30th. It seems so far away and I just want to see the baby and know everything is okay!

4. I am going to the fair with my mom on the 27th and am so excited! It's my "eat whatever I want once a year" day.

5. I really want to read my book today instead of work. I am so unmotivated.

6. We are having steak for dinner and I am excited about that.

7. I was craving yellow cake with chocolate icing the other day and made it.

8. Now I have eaten too much cake!

9. I was really craving the batter, but knew I wasn't allowed to eat it....which made me want it more!

10. I could really use a nap today!

Venti29 · September 2013

1. Dh is out of town working, I miss him.
2. We went to the beach house with four other friends this weekend... It was amazing. I had so much fun.
3. In everyday life, I'm in a funk. I need to get into a few hobbies. I need to be creative and not just 'at home'.
4. Wigg makes me want to get serious about meal planning.
5. The yard guy and house cleaner are worth every.cent!
6. I was looking at old pictures on my phone last night, gosh these four months have flown by. So fast.
7. I brought down all the babies 6 month clothes last night, I can't believe I'm prepping them to wear already!
8. Shots on Thursday

9. Fall is coming!!!
10. I miss DH<3

@Madeline10L Happy Anniversary! I am sorry to hear about your teacher...that would be heartbreaking to watch. I hope that you have made progress at your appt but that baby holds off until your DH gets back from his game!

@nightmare_of_beauty Happy Anniversary! I love sweaters too but I hate fall and winter around here. It is just so wet...yuck. I am trying to embrace the seasons though and have fun with all of them for DD!

@venti29 Thanks! I was surprised at how much of a difference actually meal planning helped but I am already feeling lazy and not wanting to do it next month! Also, time flies when you have babies. They grow so fast! I always get emotional when moving up to the next size!

@sparklingdiamond Mmmm cake. I now want some yellow cake batter! Hope that you can get some sleep. I never woke up to pee until I got pregnant and now I still do a year and a half later. I have a tough time falling back asleep and it sucks!

Same here! I used to sleep through the night just fine and only occasionally wake up to pee (like if I had a lot of water before bed). Now it doesn't matter, I am waking up every night!

Happy anniversary, Madeline!

1. My doctor is a little concerned about the cramps I've been having. He even mentioned no more work but decided we would wait.

2. I want pumpkin spice everything. Like everyone else.

3. I'm not sleeping well at night and this morning I was desperate to sleep in. No go thanks to my early appointment.

4. DH and I are celebrating our anniversary on Saturday by driving to a quaint town about an hour from here and looking at all the antique shops and eating somewhere local. I cannot wait!

5. The hospital tour in our birthing class is tonight.

6. I need to buy some comfy clothes to pack for the hospital.

7. I miss normal ST with DH.

8. I have so much to do today but I'm exhausted and want to crawl into bed and snuggle my dog.

wiggyslilsis · September 2013

@tudorrose11 I hope the cramps ease up so your doc won't have to be concerned anymore! I wasn't able to wear pants after delivery so I would keep that in mind as a possibility when picking out comfy clothes at the hospital. I also brought a robe which was nice to cover my butt up when I had to walk the halls to induce labor. Also, have fun on your anniversary trip!

Happy anniversary Madie!!

1. DH has been such a sweetheart, he's been taking care of me and he's such a wonderful daddy!!

2. I had forgotten how nasty pads are

3. I made an appointment to get my hair done tomorrow

yay

4. Kit kats are my new addiction.

5. My mom has been so awesome and helpful. I plan on buying her a perfume to thank her for everything she has done.

6. Ever since Isis was born my sister has changed a lot. She's so happy and different now. I'm really happy with this. I just hope it doesn't change.

7. I have a bad headache.

8. I'm craving pizza.

9. It hurts when I pee. I ripped bad.

10. I hope Isis sleeps better tonight. I'm pretty exhausted.

1) I am getting tired of these waves of evening nausea. So ready for them to go away.

2) Baby's heartbeat was 165 today. DH heard it for the first time, and loved watching baby flipping around!

3) I can't eat meals the way I used to. I definitely eat less than I did at dinner pre-pregnancy, and took home half my diner meal tonight.

4) I tuned 12 violas and violins on my own today! And was so annoyed when I tested the last one and the A string, a string I didn't even move, popped!

5) I got DH hooked on Dance Moms, and now HE is insisting on watching Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition!

6) We figured out how we are going to do our FB reveal! The Mets onesie is making a reappearance!

7) I need to get some type of pregnancy body pillow. My left hip is KILLING me.

8) My select choir had its first rehearsal last week. 60 kids, audition only, 7th and 8th grades, and in 45 minutes they learned an arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner in 3 part harmony. It felt AMAZING!!!

9) Rehearsal for that choir is cancelled this week. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bummed.

10) I am overwhelmed by the baby lists! I wish I just *knew* which brands to buy - doing all of the comparisons is going to make me insane.

@bridget0117 I tore pretty badly too. Did they send you home with a peri bottle? I would fill mine with warm water and run it over my lady bits when peeing so it didn't sting and burn so much. I also had this spray that I got from the hospital that numbed everything that I would spray on every time I went...I couldn't find it at the pharmacy so I asked the pharmacist and they ordered me some. Also, Tucks pads were a life saver especially if I kept them in the fridge.

wiggyslilsis · September 2013

Oh and I hope you heal quickly! And sorry about the headache!

Thank you!

I hope they ease up too. They're almost constant so I'm a mix of worry/getting used to them. I don't know which is worse.

The Buy Buy Baby near me has a nursing nightgown that I have my eyes set on and I think I'm gonna pick that up. I will definitely boycot pants!

I got that spray but I used it once and it didn't numb anything am I using it wrong? Am I missing something?

I'll try the tucks pads, I hate being in pain and will try anything. They gave me ibuprofen but they don't help at all for anything.

What makes me really sad is that they said due to the degree of my rip I wouldn't be able to have ST in 6 weeks. She said I could try ST in 6 weeks but that she wouldn't recommend it, that it would still hurt a lot :'( dang it I miss my DH and regular ST.

wiggyslilsis · September 2013

Oh no! The tucks help a lot when the stitches start getting itchy too. I even went as far as holding an ice pack down there for the pain and swelling. I was released for ST at 6 weeks. She said I was still healing and to take it easy but we weren't able to do anything until after 9 weeks because I had an infection and then yeast infection for 9 weeks after. By 9 weeks she said almost all my stitches were gone.

Sitting in hot water with Epsom salts helped loosen the stitches up when it got towards the end of healing and everything was super itchy.
