Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1.  I have my NT scan on Friday and am super impatient for it to get here!  And nervous!

    2.  I really want to make my FB announcement.

    3.  I ordered announcements that I am mailing to some of my family who isn't on FB.  

    4.  So I am waiting until those get here to make my FB announcement, but it's taking forever!

    5.  I did buy one of the skeleton shirts to wear to work on Halloween to announce up here.

    6.  I had such a headache yesterday and have been so freaking tired.

    7.  I had horrible dreams last night and one involved being afraid I was losing the baby. 

    8.  This is going to be a long week.

    9.  We are going to my college homecoming game this weekend and I am excited!

    10.  This is my new favorite link and I wish I could dress up my pugs like this!  http://www.buzzfeed.com/mattbellassai/costumes-that-prove-pugs-always-win-at-halloween

  • 1. Working from home is amazing today .... I love getting to wear sweats during the day.

    2. DH turned 30 last week and I feel horrible because I did not have the time to do anything special for him.  He's been nothing but a champ during these first few months with K and all he got for his birthday was a bowl of chili my mom made earlier in the week.

    3. I'm nervous that things we are picking out for our house are not going to match when it's all said and done.

    4. I can't wait for K to wear her Halloween costume this weekend!!  She is by far the cutest peacock I have ever seen.

    5. Tomorrow is my birthday.

    6. DH is taking me for sushi lunch tomorrow for my birthday - I cannot wait!!! First time having it since K was born.

    7. K will be 4 months tomorrow.  Where has the time gone?!?!?

    8. I'm worried that I'm not producing enough milk.  Although there is nothing wrong supplementing with formula, I was really hoping that I wouldn't have to.

    9. I want to go on vacation!

    10. I'm tired!  I need a nap!

  • 1. Ava Nichol has slept in for 6 days in a row now. I think it is a new thing for her but I don't know when I will get used to it. I panic every morning.

    2. I cleaned my house yesterday and it feels nice :) I just have a little organizing and dusting to do this week.

    3. I am super excited about the Halloween Party I am hosting next Friday but I wish people would RSVP. And I don't count maybe as an RSVP.

    4. Ava Nichol's Halloween costume is officially finished. My mom did a good job.

    5. I think I am going to get Ava Nichol an easel for her big Christmas present. She loves to color and draw :)

    6. I am going to get myself a big bowl of chocolate lucky charms when I am done here.

    7. I woke up with a headache :( I think eating will help though.

    8. I have really high hopes for answers from my labs at my Nov. 4th appt. I am trying not to be too hopeful so I won't be crushed if they all came back normal but it is no good my hopes are already high.

    9. I have been doing well in my classes and doing assignments ahead of time so I won't be swamped the night that assignments are due.

    10. It is hard to find scholarly information for a biography of a celebrity. The professor did allow us to use bio.com but wanted more resources.

  • @emw1023 I want a vacation too! I was hoping for even just a day trip with DH but I just don't think the budget will work before Christmas.

    Also, I think we are going to do a Halloween parade here starting on Halloween and going through the weekend so I hope we get to seeyour adorable peacock!

  • 1. The dog woke me up at 5 am this morning barking like crazy! No idea what she was barking at, but I was NOT happy! 

    2. Needless to say, I'm tired

    3.  My furnace is not working. Pretty sure I found on google how to fix it. If not, I have a coupon! 

    4. We're suppose to get snow tonight. 

    5. I love watermelon gum. 

    6. The big manager is here so a lot of stuff is getting done, which means Friday will be DEAD. 

    7. I think it's taken me about half an hour to get to this number.

    8. My boss got a bit of an attitude with me about needing time off next month. Not my fault I have a dentist appointment and the OB sees you once a month when PR. I have to work two Saturdays in Nov anyway so I would already be getting two week days off. 

    9. I'm really wondering who's going to work the holiday weekends this year. I did them two years in a row. Also came in on Christmas Eve last year. 

    10. Is it the weekend yet?

  • 1. I fell asleep at 9:30 last night until 8. 2. I woke up about 5 times to either pee or take tums. 3. I just took a shower, did my makeup and had to lie down cuz I'm so tired. 4. I'm going to talk to my OB about this. I'm sure it's regular pregnant woman problems but it's really taking a toll on me. 5. I hope I can keep up with LO at her "gym" class today. 6. I used to plan my meals and shop for the week on sundays. since getting pregnant, I go on a daily basis. 7. I have to get stuff for tonight's dinner after class. 8. I have to get up and finish getting ready and dress DD. 9. I have no energy to do number 8. 10. okay, I'm getting up...

    @vitan - I always have to take a break after showering and either sit or lie down. It makes me feel ridiculous but I just don't have the energy. I feel you.

  • 1. I love ten thing Tuesday.

    2. I feel like I clean and clean and it still doesn't look clean.

    3. My sisters birthday is Thursday, I'm excited because mom will make dinner. Yummm!!!

    4. I thought waiting 6 weeks pp to have ST would take forever but it's actually gone by really fast.

    5. How can something so little make something so stinky??!!!!

    6. I will be done paying 2 credit cards by the end of next month. Yay!!!

    7. I'm hungry...

    8. I feel so much closer to buying a house... I can't wait for the new year.

    9. I need to pick up DD birth certificate.

    10. Life is good!!
  • 1. I cannot wait to have lunch with my girlfriend tomorrow. I need the girl time and I miss her!

    2. I hope I have the balls to switch jobs after my maternity leave.

    3. I hope having an induction scheduled will make people stop asking me if baby has arrived yet. Word travels fast when babies are born - you would know! Asking me everyday just stresses me out.

    4. My pup has been super snuggly the last two weeks and I love it.

    5. I've had no energy to cook this last week. I really dread it.

    6. I think I say this every Tuesday but I want a beer.

    7. I can't wait to see my baby!

    8. We have a large garden tub that I haven't used since we bought our house. I'm thinking I will try it out today.

    9. I'm proud of my weight gain during pregnancy. 13 lbs at 39 weeks. Not bad.

    10. I'm having a weird sadness about not seeing my OB regularly after baby is born. I really love him and his assistant.

  • 1) I joined a gym and have found that I strongly prefer running on the treadmill to outdoor running.

    2) I planned to buy Evan one pair of Christmas PJs but that has multiplied into 4 pair!

    3) I think I need to crack down on my diet. I never used to eat as many sweets as I do now.

    4) Some days I feel like I can barely manage 1 baby. I can't imagine what 2 is like.

    5) I can't wait for E to walk but I'm pretty sure he will be a late walker.

    6) I wish baby hair was easier to control.

    7) We just started watching Breaking Bad. Somehow I have avoided spoilers, but I am so tempted to read them.

    8) I have a new goal of a 10 PM bedtime for myself.

    9) I really want a pair of boots, but I don't want to spend the money.

    10) I think I might end up BF past a year, which was not in my plans originally.

  • 1. I love reading these.

    2. Babies are napping, I should be in the shower.

    3. I need to get some chicken out for the crockpot.

    4. This weekend is my MIL's bday. We rented a limo for 6 hours. Drinks, dinner and just a good time. I can't wait!!!

    5. I got my hair done. I like it a lot, but it wasn't worth 120$ ouch.
    (I cut my own bangs and hard to get it fixed. Andddd I got lowlights).

    6. I'm not going to wash my hair everyday anymore.

    7. I'm on a spending spree and I need to calm down.

    8. I want new bras and chonies. (see, spending!!)

    9. I want to cook all week!!

    10. I'm getting better at being a SAHM. Well, trying.

  • 1.  I can never think of 10 things and so I just don't participate most tuesdays

    2. I had an appt. with the RE this morning and baby is measuring perfectly which i'm happy about because it was measuring a couple days behind last week

    3. my husband packed my lunch today and he gave me a rediculous amount of chicken pot pie for lunch. I think he's trying to make me fat.

    4. I told DH I wanted to go on a dog walk after work but now I think i'd rather just take a nap

    5. I unbuttoned my pants

    6. I want my SIL's maternity clothes and need to ask her for them. she's finished having kids and was pregnant through winter with both of her kids so she'll have just what I need.

     

  • 1. I'm tired today. It kinda hit me after lunch.

    2. I finally got chinese food last night. I have been wanting it for like 3 weeks now.

    3. DH and I talked about officially TTCing in February when I go for a reg gyno appt. Officially throwing out the BC at that time too.

    4. DD has really been pushing her bedtime later than normal. Then she decides she's hungry at 10:00. Like really? Go to bed. I did feed her.

    5. My DD is going to be 4 in January. :(

    6. I really want an apple. Someone is eating one, and I can smell the aroma.

    7. I really need to finish DD's costume tonight and start on the dog's costume.

    8. I kinda wish I wasn't shy and post more on this thread.

    9. I'm eating leftover chinese tonight because I refuse to make dinner.

    10. I'm joining a striking class tomorrow night where DH coaches. I kinda can't wait to join, but I'm hoping that I will continue going instead of dropping it a month into going.

  • 1. I had my 1hr glucose test this morning.

    2. My arms weren't giving any blood and I had 2 nurses jabbing needles in me. Eventually my hand was the last victim and it worked, thank god.

    3. My arms are so damn sore now, and I feel crappy.

    4. One of the nurses said she was surprised I never flinched through it. All I was thinking was "lady, I'm pushing a baby out of me in a few months..."

    5. I want chocolate milk now after all this talk about it (;

    6. I really want to punch my H sometimes. He's always screwing with me.

    7. Sex is my enemy these days. I want no part of that sheeit, and I'm so lame when I give in.

    8. My H is making me clean with vinegar because it's safer. I can't tell if the smell is making me want to be sick, or if I want vinegar chips. Either way I hate this cleaning alternative.

    9. Our friends bought us a "cheap" grill for my H's bday, and I really want to use it soon! I love grilled food.

    10. I really need it to get cold outside already, this 89 degrees is so disappointing.

  • I love seeing new faces in here! And also we say "10 things Tuesday" but really it is just a random thread so you can do one or 14 or ten we don't care or judge! I just love having the peek into other peoples' lives and to be able to post what is on my mind without being an AW!

    @venti29 I wish we lived closer. We could totally be SAHM friends although you might be a bad influence on my budgeting ;)

    Oh and I have a couple more things...

    1. I am watching the last What Not To Wear and trying not to cry :( I love this show.

    2. I organized my scrapbooking stuff and now I feel accomplished.

    3. I finally decorated the house for Halloween and I totally used my gag gift bottle stickers on an old bottle of wine! Thanks NSA!

  • @madeline10L I started a C25K this summer and I want to keep it up. I joined the gym because it is getting dark earlier and colder so running outside didn't seem as appealing or safe.  I just started running at a slightly faster pace so I'm hoping to get back up to 30 minutes soon and then I will probably work on 10K. I'm not actually doing any races. This is more for general health and fitness. I would like to work on my endurance and also do some toning. I would be happy to lose 5-10 lbs or go down a clothing size, but that isn't really my primary goal.

    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.
  • 1.  My lips are chapped already.

    2. There's been rumors of snow for tomorrow and I'm totally hoping it's true...even if it's just a few flakes!

    3.  DH and I have a date night planned for this weekend....dinner and Christmas shopping!  We try to do Date Night once a month and this is our October date night every year and it's my favorite.

    4.  I really should be going to sleep right now, but I'm too awake and feel like I'm not ready for bed.

    5.  I'm supposed to be getting the results of my GD test tomorrow, and I have a feeling I failed it.

    6.  Feeling Baby move is wonderful reassurance each day.

    7.  Our dog is laying at the foot of the bed right now and she's all curled up and falling asleep and looks adorable.

    8.  The pile of laundry I have to fold is embarrassing (at least it's clean!)

    9.  One month and one week from tomorrow we will have a Christmas tree.

    10.  I'm so excited for Thanksgiving and Black Friday!
