Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1. My head still freaking hurts. I have been having a migraine every day since last Wednesday. It feels like they just fade in and out.

    2. The headache has only gotten so bad I couldn't do anything and just had to curl up in the dark 3 times so that is good that it isn't bad the whole time.

    3. I am going to sign Ava Nichol up for a music and movement class for the spring and then a preschool class for the summer! Preschool already? I think she will love it.

    4. I think she needs time away from me so I hope she loves preschool and enjoys that time with the other kids. It is two hours twicea week.

    5. I get anxiety thinking about leaving her at preschool. I hope she does well.

    6. I'm hungry. I think I will have a bagel with cream cheese :)

    7. I really hope I don't kill Ava Nichol's fish. I don't really have the best track record but my mom still bought her one. I've never had a beta so hopefully this one last a while.

    8. I forgot to take the chicken out to defrost for my chicken pot pie soup tonight. Oops.

    9. I think Ava Nichol might be getting sick. She is sounding a little congested and she had a little cough last night after bath time :(

    10. I am going to be making the invitations for Ava Nichol's birthday this weekend :)

    1) C is one month today!!! yay! 
     2) C slept 5 hours last night. It was amazing. 
     3) It's snowing 
    4) We are going to try to give C a bottle of pumped milk today, we'll see how it goes. 5) I dont ever want to go back to work, but being SAHM is not in the books right now. Maybe by next year, I dont know. 
    6) My dog is adjusting to the baby pretty well, but has acted out some. We are trying to patiently deal with it, but she is just being bratty.
    7) So talking about the dog, she is getting fat. I dont know if it is because we haven't been able to exercise her as well with how frigid its been or if she is eating too much, but we need to get her slimmed up. At least hiking season will be here in a couple months and we can walk it off (her and me lol) 

     Thats all I've got today.

    Regarding the Beta Fish: We got one for Lexi when we came back from our Honeymoon back in July. He is a red beta and she named him Golfie. He is still alive. The last time I had a beta, it lasted a year, but only because I didn't clean his tank that often. I feed him once a day right before bedtime. But he swims around all happy. She loves him.

  • @wiggyslilsis Ava Nichol is going to love school!
  • 1. My pants don't fit. :(

    2. I still had to wear them because I have nothing in my closet.

    3. I've been really lazy lately. I haven't done laundry in over a week. I really need to do a few loads tonight.

    4. I let two pots soak in water overnight to get the fat off the bottoms easier. I did that on Sunday and I was too tired to wash the pots yesterday. Plus the smell of the soapy fat turns my stomach. I'm going to convince DH to wash them for me.

    5. I have so much crap to clean its ridiculous.

    6. My dog woke me up at 4:30 to go outside. Because I couldn't fall back asleep, I had no energy to want to go to work this morning. I was dragging, and I hate when I do that.

    7. I have been craving Doritos for over a week now. I bought a bag for Lexi's party and didn't open it until then. I had half a bag left over so I put it in a container and I *thought* i placed it in the cabinet. I went to go make a bag for lunch today and it wasn't there. I searched my house for a good 15 minutes and couldn't find it. I was so upset this morning.

    8. Luckily I had 60 cents to get a bag in the vending machine even though I brought a bag of lays potato chips with me. I really did not want those chips.

    9. I'm so tired, I could sleep at my desk.

    10. I just want to go home.

  • 1) I have had a knot on the left side of my back for a week.  Nothing is getting rid of it, and it hurts!!!

    2) I had a choir sing the National Anthem on the ice at a hockey game this weekend. It was do-able, but I have another group doing an intermission sing in a month.  When I will be 9 months pregnant.  I didn't schedule it, and wouldn't have if it were up to me.  I don't know that I will be physically able, and I have to talk to people about it this week.

    3) My shower is Saturday!  So excited!

    4) I'm really sleepy today.

    5) I'm onto bi-weekly appointments.  Say what now?

    6) We are putting up the curtain rods in LO's room this weekend.  Nesting has begun!

    7) My classroom is FREEZING.

    8) I have to teach 3 lessons after school today.  I don't want to teach ANY of them.  I want to go home and relax in my warm bed - but even my bed hasn't been my friend lately.  Whenever I get comfy, LO has a kick attack.

    9) 3 words - BRUNCH FOR LUNCH.

    10) I like feeling LO move but I wish her movements weren't so intense...

  • 9) 3 words - BRUNCH FOR LUNCH.

    Oooooh yeah!! I just decided what I'll make for my lunch today! I was just going to heat up some soup, but runny eggs and toast (and maybe a couple of slices of bacon) sound soooo much better!

    Wish I had some OJ left! We really need to get to the store.

    1. I need a maternity coat. I thought I'd be able to get through winter without one, but between showing much earlier than I thought I would and the -20 degree temperatures it might be unavoidable. My short coat barely covers my belly and my long ones aren't as warm and won't button for much longer. I'm really annoyed at the thought of having to spend $100 on something I only need for 1-2 months. 

     2. I'm hungry... as per usual. 

     3. I have zero motivation to do any work lately. 

     4. DH said I could stay home after LO is born if I want. I'm torn because I've always wanted to be a SAHM but DH works from home, so that could either be really good or a recipe for disaster. I also work for a healthcare company and have great benefits, which I'm hesitant to give up. 

     5. I think I need a snoogle. I'm usually a side sleeper but lately I've been waking up with a lot of hip and back pain. The only way I can get comfortable when that happens is to lay on my back for a while and I don't know how much longer I'll be able to do that. 

     6. I have no idea what we're doing on Sunday. I love entertaining but I think it might be too late to invite people. I feel like everyone already knows what they're doing and my biggest fear is throwing a party and having no one show up. 

    7. I've been getting a lot of headaches lately. I'm hoping it's because I need to drink more water and not something else. They're not debilitating; just really annoying. 

     8. I THINK I might be feeling LO. It's not at all what I expected, though. Everyone says it's like bubble or butterflies. What I feel is more like a very weak, but sharp kind of surge. It's weird. 

     9. That's all she wrote today... 

     ETA: WTF is going on with the formatting???

  • 1) How is it Tuesday?
    2) Avery finally likes her swing!!!!
    3) We are taking a trip to NJ and the Poconos on Friday so Avery can meet her grandpa and great grandma... I'm irrationally nervous about it.
    4) I weigh less now than pre pregnancy.
    5) I left the house without LO yesterday and was okay.

  • I was actually just looking there this morning, @amccul LOL.  Unfortunately, I didn't see anything heavy enough for the winter we're having here.  Thanks for looking out, though! :-)

  • @brigette0117 have you thought about invisilign? I've heard good things about that instead of braces.

    1. I get a headache every time I wear my hair up anymore. What's up with that?? 
    2. I thought about leaving my dog at home today, but I'd miss him too much. He might be a turd, but he's my turd!
    3. We moved H's birthday party from Saturday to Sunday because we realized none of our friends get Fox and really wanted a place to watch the game! So now it'll be a birthday + Superbowl party, and I know H is really looking forward to it :)
    4. I'm with you, @amcuul20 and @PandPMeant2B. Must drink more water.
    5. I think the bloat is finally going down to a manageable level. Only, now my stomach feels smaller and I've been sporting a bump at work since last week so I hope nobody realizes it was mainly a blump ;) I'll let you guys decide tomorrow!
    6. I've been nesting and planning H's party all morning.. must work!

  • 1. I'm eating mini Oreos and I don't think they've ever tasted so good!

    2. DH's birthday is today and I still have to get him a gift card (it's what he asked for).

    3. I don't like giving gift cards, but I couldn't think of anything else to surprise him.

    4. I'm having a tired day today and I don't want to work.

    5. I woke up last night at 3am wide awake and starving.

    6.  DH and I are getting Mexican for dinner (his pick) but it really doesn't sound appetizing right now.

    7. I think I'm breaking out the maternity work pants DH bought me for Christmas to wear to work tomorrow. I probably don't need them, but I know they will be so comfy!

    8. Time to refill my water.
