1. I went to an instense workout class last night and then ate doritos on the drive home

2. once home I ate dinner:)

3. I've started looking into hypnobirthing. i've aways wanted a drug free child birth.

4. I had a 7:30 meeting this morning and my body is ready ahead of schedule for lunch

5. my boss has found someone to take over some of my job tasks while i'm on maternity leave and I have to start training her soon.

6. daily people tell me I don't look pregnant. I think I just look chubby at this point. soon, soon there will be a baby bump

7. I have spaghetti squash for lunch and i'm really excited to eat it

8. we were supposed to have dinner at the IL's tonight and its been moved to tomorrow so I need to think of something for dinner

do you notice most of these involve food?

1. I have some more shopping to do... I thought I was done, but I'm not. Not sure I want to brave the store with my two.

2. I'm really attached to GPM FB. It's a lot of laughs for me.

3. My living room makeover is so pretty. I've been keeping this part of the house put away and clean, daily.
(It's only been 3 days, but still).

4. I've been asking dH to plug in the lights before he leaves, today was the first time he did it. I woke up to a magical house!

5. I was going to skip the babies BIG gift from us, bit mil made me feel bad about it. Now I have to go find it as it's too late to have it shipped in time for Christmas. Damn that guilt train.

6. I only really nurse in the morning and for comfort, yesterday I didn't at all. I woke up leaking all over. It's been so long since I've leaked.

7. Our energy consumption is through the roof. It's bad. I turn off lights (except the tree during the day), we have new windows, new furnace, only thing we use that we don't 'need' is our garage fridge, but that is also newer.
I don't know where else to cut back.

8. My babies are 'watching' the news right now, I don't want them to watch tv but am I never supposed to have it on anymore? They stop playing when it's on.

9. We're having heavy appetizers on Christmas Day!!! I can't wait. Our dinner is this Sunday, yeah for getting extended family out of the way early! On Christmas Eve it's family dinner at my house, Christmas Day at my Mil and Sunday the big family dinner. Can't wait!

10. I need to think/thaw dinner tonight. I'm thinking baked chicken, mashed potatoes, with corn.

@amccul20 I don't know why people feel it is appropriate to tell a pregnant woman she doesn't look pregnant. I am sorry

I hope you pop soon!

1. DD slept all night. YAY!!!

2. We have a lot of stuff to do today but instead I'm laying in bed just starring at My little girl.

3. I seriously hate AF.

4. And cramps.

5. DH is off today but he had to run to the Office, and now he's bringing me a smothered burrito. :-D

6. I have no idea what to cook for our Christmas party.

7. I wish I could sleep a little longer.

8. My phone is being stupid right now.

9. I've been feeling so sick these past few days. I should schedule an appointment with my doctor but I don't want to. Blah.

10. I'm falling asleep

wiggyslilsis · December 2013

Wake up @bridget0117

1. I am hungry but too lazy to go pour myself a bowl of frosted flakes.

2. Ava Nichol really interacts with her TV shows now and has learned quite a bit so I am feeling less guilty about letting her watch TV so young.

3. When she was like 1-5 months old one of the ways to calm her down in the evening was by putting Guy Fieri's Diners Drive Ins and Dives.

4. Ava Nichol guides my new likes. I love Bubble Guppies because she does. I love penguins now because she does. I love cupcake stuff because it makes me think of her. Haha...not something I expected from being a mom.

5. It looks like DH is going to be off from the 20th to the 2nd. It will be nice to have him home but we can't really afford time off right now. Ugh.

6. I am getting UsWeekly in the mail now. It is not from my NSA so I have no idea where it is coming from.

7. The forecast is calling for a little snow on Friday. I would love snow on Christmas

even though we have to drive all over in it.

8. I cannot believe Christmas is only 8 days away!

9. Ava Nichol tells us she pooped but really means she peed. I am trying to clear that up for her.

10. Next year I have to include goodies for our dog in the advent calendar because he gets jealous of Ava Nichol opening the gift every day and steals stuff from her.

amccul20 · December 2013

@wiggyslilsis #10 is hilarious!

bridget0117 · December 2013

@wiggyslilsis, lol I'm awake. I got calls from my dad and step dad right after posting. They suck lol.

sparklingdiamond · December 2013

1. We just met with the builder of our house for a pre-drywall meeting and finally got an estimated closing date.

2. Looks like we will close mid-Feb!

3. I am excited because that gives me more time to save money, but also less time to get the house ready before Nolan comes!

4. Now my shoes are covered in mud because it was so muddy around the house.

5. I am so ready for my A/S on Jan 3!

6. And I am excited to have insurance again starting Jan 1!

7. I was under the impression that all new plans had to cover breast pumps. When I asked my new insurance company, they said they weren't covered. :-/

8. I ate too much Applebee's yesterday and it didn't settle well with me at all.

9. I almost have all of my Christmas shopping done.

10. DH had some vacation days he needed to use or he would lose them, so he ends up getting this Friday through next Wed off. I am jealous!

smbenevides1989 · December 2013

1. Today is our holiday Christmas Party. I've already had toasted portuguese sweet bread, and I can smell all the yummy food coming from the conference room.

2. I'm hungry.

3. Our dog opened one of his presents yesterday. Didn't realize it until he was playing with it. At least it was his and not the treats.

4. It's snowing today. With the fact that we have a week left until Christmas, the holiday party going on, putting smiles on the caretakers at Lexi's daycare when I dropped off a baked goods basket for them, it really puts me in the Christmas mood.

5. I love how Lexi loves Dr. Who and has been watching all the seasons with DH and I.

6. DH bought a Dalek and a Cyberman and used it as a prop for the Elf on the Shelf. Lexi asked if she could play with them, then proceeded to ask if she could sleep with Cyberman.

7. I was having an off day yesterday with the computer systems being off. H wrote me this cute little love note and made me cry at my desk. I love it when he does things like that, which is very rare.

8. I can't wait for the 27th. DH bought the three of us tickets to go see Disney on Ice. I've never been and I know Lexi will absolutely love it. We are making it a dinner and a show and we are eating at Uno's. So excited!

9. Speaking of shows, DH also bought us tickets to go see WWE wrestling. I'm not ashamed I watch this fake stuff on TV. I cannot wait to see John Cena.... yum candy!

10. My boss came back from vacation yesterday so that means I have to work. I don't have any motivation to do anything but nest today. And the pile just keeps on growing...

emw1023 · December 2013

1. We found out over the weekend that they are starting to dig on our new house this week! Yay!

2. This makes me want to room shop even more, but we would have no where to go with anything we buy.

3. i found out last Friday that I had to travel yesterday/today for a meeting. 10 hours in the car for a 30 minute meeting is redic!

4. Our meeting got moved back from10 to 2 ... super NOT happy about that.

5. K will probably be sleeoing by the time I get home.

6. I need to think of an a ppetizer and dessert to make for our Christmas dinner.

7. H and I are playing hooky Thursday afternoon and going to see Catching Fire.

8. MIL comes into town on Saturda for a whole week.

9. I cannot wait to see K all dressed up in her Christmas outfit next week!!

10. I have no idea how much more shopping I need to do ....

PandPMeant2B · December 2013

1. It doesn't look like our mortgage is going to be approved for the full amount we prequalified for.

2. NBT has a bunch of assholes working in their mortgage division. Never had such poor customer service in my life!

3. This might be a blessing in disguise because 1, I don't want to deal with this mortgage company anymore and 2, the house had great potential, but needed a lot of work.

4. DH and I need to decide if we're going to keep renting the house we're in (nice, but the landlords are kind of jerks and the house is very inefficient) or start looking for other houses in a slightly lower price range.

5. I knew buying a house was stressful, but I NEVR imagined it would be like this!

6. I'm done talking about houses and mortgages, sorry.

7. As soon as I posted this morning that I was feeling "SO MUCH better," I started to feel nauseous again. I don't know if it's m/s, stress, or the fact that I'm not eating much because nothing appeals to me at the moment.

8. Today is full of suck. I wanna go home, put on my footie PJs on, and curl up in front of the fire.

9. I feel very whiny today, sorry to anyone who's actually reading this.

10. All my Christmas shopping is done, but I need DH to disappear so I can wrap his gifts. I might need to just lock myself in a room one night.

amccul20 · December 2013

@pandpmeant2b you're right, house buying is much more difficult than you can every imagine!

wiggyslilsis · December 2013

@pandpmeant2b I am sorry about all the trouble trying to buy a house! Also, I found that if I didn't keep something in my belly at all times my m/s was worse. I even had to eat overnight through 1st tri. It is hard but try to eat something. I just ate whatever I felt wouldn't make me sick.

Thanks. I am trying to nibble on things. One of my coworkers was very sweet and bought me ginger cookies. They're actually pretty good and I have myself convinced that it's okay to eat them because they're organic and ginger is good for me lol. They help a little, but it's definitely not enough. I've been opening my snack drawer every few minutes to see if anything appeals to me. I just had some dried cranberries and that helped. DH wants pizza and wings for dinner. I hardly ever eat pizza, but I just may tonight because it's not grossing me out!

wiggyslilsis · December 2013

That was nice if your coworker

I really want pizza tonight too haha! I ate a lot of things that I hadn't eaten in a long time like canned peaches, applesauce and rice crispies. Good luck!

It took us nine months from the day we signed on our house to the day we moved in. I kid you not, by BFF got pregnant the day we found out we got it, and she gave birth the day we moved in. Seriously not kidding. This was our baby. I actually gained like 30 lbs from all the stress and got depressed. I can't get rid of it. All I can say is that if you're really stressing about it, maybe let it go until after baby is cooked and delivered. My experience was awful. I hope yours gets better.

Thanks, DM. That is crazy! I told DH maybe this is G-d's way of saying we should step back and reevaluate. We are trying to strike one more deal with the sellers and if that doesn't work we will walk away and start over when we're ready. At least now we'll be better prepared!
