Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1.  I have entered starving mode and want to eat all the time!

    2.  I broke down and bought maternity pants last weekend because my old jeans wouldn't button anymore.

    3.  I am wearing them today and my new sweater and am soooo comfy!

    4.  It is too cold here today!  And the high was this morning...it's only going to drop throughout the day.

    5.  I am excited for my appt Thursday so I can hear the heartbeat again!

    6.  I am happy to finally be in 2nd tri.

    7.  They finally framed our house after like a month delay.

    8.  Every time I come into my office lately it smells like cigarettes/cigars.  So gross.

    9.  I have started gaining weight.

    10.  But don't understand how I gained another lb in just a day!

  • 1. I just had the most fantastic lunch. homemade meatballs in a wrap with homemade pasta sauce and a string cheese....can you tell I need to go grocery shopping?

    2. I picked up french fries from Burger King becuase McDonalds is too close to my office and I didn't want anyone to catch me eating crappy food.

    3. I can't wait to be released from my RE so I can go to my OB's 'happy office'.

    4. I think i'm going to skip family dinner at the IL's tonight and go lay in bed and either read or watch hallmark movies

    5. I think that trying to cover my baby bloat is backfiring on me. I think I just look fat

    6. I always said when I got pregnant I wouldn't let it take over my life, and now that i'm pregnant its all I can think about. although I don't actually talk about it out loud all the time.

    7. I went on a hike the other day with my H and I had to stop for a second after we went up a hill. lame-sauce

    8.

  • 1. I am done being sick and DD being sick. It sucks.

    2. I just want to sleep until I feel better but I am home with DD. And I have lots to do during nap time if she even takes one :-S

    3. Yesterday she only took a twenty minute nap. Ugh.

    4. We have a Lego duplo party to go to on Thursday! Not sure what to expect but it sounds like fun.

    5. I think we are through the worst of this sick because DD and I haven't had a fever in two days.

    6. My mom is disappointed because she found a bubble guppies toddler bed she wanted to get for Ava Nichol but I told her we want to move her up into a twin size bed.

    7. LO falls out of bed all the time so we think a twin bed with rails would be better because then she has room to roll and toss and turn without falling out.

    8. She has no rails on her toddler bed because it was super scary when she got her leg through one of the slats and hung herself upside down by her leg.

    9. They still sell that toddler bed at Walmart and it worries me because a kid could get seriously hurt. We got a hand me down bed so I don't have any of the original info to file a formal complaint.

    10. So much to do but I just want to hang out on the couch because I feel so yucky.

  • 1) So thankful today is my work from home day. It was flurrying this morning!

    2) I can't focus on work at all.

    3) Babies all over the brain!

    4) I want my first appt to hurry up and get here!

    5) I want @amccul20's lunch.

    6) I need to hide in the bedroom when DH cooks dinner tonight; he's using ground beef, and the smell of it cooking has always been kind of gross to me even though I like eating it just fine, and I'm afraid now it might completely set me off.

    7) I work liquor promos on the side, and my agency piled them on me this weekend. I have to work 4 total events on Saturday (2 in a row in the early afternoon, and then 2 more later at night), and then another 2-hour event on Sunday. That's SIX total trips to/from the city in one freaking weekend. I'm pissed.

    8) The money from the promos is good, but I think I'll be glad when I can't do them anymore (no one wants a promo model with a gut!). I'm getting too old to deal with the drunk obnoxious boys.

    9) I need some long, fingerless gloves to wear when I'm working; my hands get so cold!

    10) My boobs feel so much better when I'm not wearing a bra right now.  :)

  • 1. @luckyangel07 mine actually feel better IN a bra because it holds them up and they're heavy now. 2. DH tried to follow me into the bathroom last night bc he thought I was going to throw up and wanted to comfort me. Aww. 3. I just watched thumbelina and cried my eyes out. 4. I'm still so angry with my BFF for getting pregnant in one try. I thought being gp would take away my bitterness, but it hasn't happened yet. I know it's not fair and her fertility had no effect on mine, but feelings are feelings. 5. I had chips and salsa for breakfast and I'm not sorry 6. I have like 8 things on my to-do list today and have started zero if them 7. My first prenatal appt with the obg is tomorrow and I hope they can do the bw there and get it back quick 8. I have a countdown going for my first ultrasound date. 15days! 9. I'm scared to gain weight when I'm already overweight 10. I want to start decorating the nursery NOW! Lol

  • 1. This is the second day in a row that I've felt sick during and after lunch. I think I may need to bring back my mid-morning diclectin.

    2. Lanolin is awesome! 

    3. However, despite #3, my nips are still peeling and the skin is flaking off.

    4. Because of #3, they are itchy all.the.time. 

    5. I refuse to step on the scales. I really don't want to know. 

    6. I wish I could nap instead of working from now until 9pm. 

    7. It's my DH's birthday and I forgot to get a card. Oops.

    8. I hate trying to decide what to eat. My stomach is still messed up sometimes. I definitely am not eating for two! I find it easier to eat snacks all day instead of meals. 

    9. I found our crib on amazon.ca for $100 less than the in store price + free shipping! That's my "win" for today! 

    10. Off to do work now, but this was a good distraction!

  • 1. I can't stop stalking my registries.
    2. It snowed last night! I was giddy all day about it!
    3. We're going to my dad's this week to drop off my old bed and pick up the crib.
    4. Our shower is Sunday!
    5. I'm officially scared to drive through the city I live near. The 13th homicide this year occurred at 4:30 in the afternoon.
    6. I need a haircut.
    7. H is awesome, he does all the dishes every morning.
    8. H is applying for a manager position in a month. His hours will change to 1:30 pm - 10:00 pm if he gets it. I'm not happy about that, but the pay would be helpful and we would only need daycare 1 pm - 3 pm.

  • 1. My back is killing me still.

    2. DH took the day off to help me because of number 1. He's awesome!

    3. I should really be writing an important letter but instead I'm nesting.

    4. DH and I went to the club on Saturday, it was awesome and I really needed a night out.

    5. I had a mini panic attack before leaving Saturday. It was the first time leaving Isis with someone else (my mom) besides DH.

    6. I'm so cold.

    7. I really want to go on a vacation.

    8. I want to have ST but I don't feel sexy at all.

    9. DD doesn't really nap during the day anymore :(

    10. I want chocolate.
  • 9. 2 of my favorite bands are playing in Philly tomorrow night, I can't wait until I can go see a live show again.

    @Bridget Sorry about your panic attack, they are worst. DH and I have a date night planned in December and it'll probably be the first time leaving DD with someone and I'm already nervous about it. :(

    Also I hope your back feels better soon!

    ETA I can't spell today...

  • 1. My DH used to be an amazing cook, but now we're always in a rush for something, when he does cook... It's shit. 2. I know people either love it or don't, but CIO 'sleeping training' has been so good for our family. I just started naps in their cribs and it seems like they love their bed as much as I love mine. It took a few nights of crying, but now crying is so minimal if any! It's so nice. 3. There is a lot of hurt and happiness on this board. I truly hurt for the hurting. 4. We have to pay for Cobra for the next three months, this will cost us 4800$. I'm so sad and upset. Kitchen, painted house, vacation.. It'll have to wait even longer now. 5. There is an app for babies, I think it's called 'wonder weeks' or something, it's great and pretty accurate about what 'leap' were in. 6. I need to read up on BLW, I think I want to go this route. 7. I think I had CM today. 8. I'm almost done bf'ing. I'm sad about about it. 9. I've let go of some grudges I was holding onto, I feel free. This took a long time, but it's feeling good. 10. My DH is a really good life partner. I'm glad I married him. 11. I got a new iPad. I hated it for the first three days, now I love it.

  • 1) I am 20 weeks and still not feeling regular movement.  It's worrying me a little.  I feel occasional flutters but not every day and I want to know baby girl is ok in there.

    2) My school concerts are in a month and I am starting to freak out - there is just SO much less contact time at the elementary level!

    3) I think we settled on paint colors.  I want to test bigger patches to be sure but it means priming before painting...ugh.

    4) I made lasagna for dinner last night and it tasted SOOOOOO good!

    5) I am worried about what I will be able to eat if I have GD.  I don't know if I do or don't, my docs haven't mentioned anything yet.  But meats are still kinda grossing me out and it's definitely a concern of mine!

    6) My A/S is one week away, and I am so anxious!  I want to see baby girl and make sure she's ok in there!

    7) My younger cousin had a baby girl yesterday...they're not announcing the name for a month.  Say what?

    8) DH just grossed me out by showing me a recall notice on baby food pouches...apparently they had bug larvae in them.  And now I'm stomach sick.

    9) I want chocolate.  We have none.  And cookies didn't cut it.

    10) It snowed this morning, and it's COLD outside!

  • @saisongbird Don't worry about the movement. I couldn't feel t regularly until like 25ish weeks. I think that's how it is for most people.

    @venti I'm sorry about the cobra and crappy cooking. :(

  • 1. We made it through wonder week 5!

    2. Now were going through the six week growth spurt...

    3. Social smiles! I love them, makes this mom teary eyed. :)

    4. I need to start pumping my right side so I'm no longer lopsided, and so I can build a stash.

    5. I love Christmas shopping. In fact, I'm already almost done. ;)

    6. I have my 6 week pp appointment tomorrow!

    7. I'm not sure if I'll be cleared to work out. I have spotting if I go on long walks, even if I don't feel super sore after...

    8. I can't wait to lose the rest of my pregnancy weight, I seem to have stopped losing weight.

    9. I want chocolate, like a Milky Way or M&Ms...

    10. I desperately need to go grocery shopping.

  • @venti29 so glad to hear that the sleep training is working for you! Sorry to hear about the insurance costs though. Also, I agree about the happy and hurt on this board. Confession: Sometimes I feel more for the ladies on this board than I do for people IRL.

    @sgautschi good luck at your appt tomorrow!

  • @saisongbird, I didn't feel any movement until 22 weeks and regular movement till closer to 30. Try to relax for now.
