Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1. Sorry I was MIA yesterday. We had a long day and then I got a migraine.

    2. I am still out at my mom's helping her out. I don't feel right leaving her here alone so I can go home and do nothing there.

    3. I am working on Ava Nichol's birthday invites while we are out here.

    4. Ava Nichol saw the dermatologist yesterday. The doctor was very unprofessional and didn't care. She did get her blood drawn for the mercury test so we will get those answers hopefully soon.

    5. I left a voice mail at the endocrinologist yesterday at 1230. It said on the recording that if you leave a message before 3pm you will get a call back before the end of the day. No call back. Grrrr.

    6. Winter is actually starting here now. We are supposed to have record lows this week and snow Saturday.

    7. Band aids freak Ava Nichol out and she wants it off like now.

    8. I'm hungry but I don't know what I want.

    9. My brother is in the Navy and going out to sea this month. He lives on the other side of the country but it still makes me sad that he will be gone for 9 months.

    10. GO HAWKS! :)

  • 1. I am in so much pain on my left side at night that I can no longer sleep on that side.

    2. I can't decide what's causing the pain, it's right next to my hip bone in the lower left of my abdomen. Ovary?

    3. Because of all the pain, I am seriously considering going back on BC. 

    4. I hesitate because I have a feeling my supply will tank.

    5. On the plus side, Adalyn has slept four nights in a row in her crib, and slept 10-11 hours each time. Best sleep she's gotten yet!

    6. I miss my baby girl sleeping with me though. :(

    7. I need coffee.

    8. I am amazed that I am keeping up with school, but it's going to be getting intense soon.

    9. I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not to TTC#2, part of me is okay with being OAD, but another part of me wants to get pregnant in the next year. 

    10. I wish someone had a crystal ball with all the answers. Lol

  • 1. It's snowing and we are going to have an arctic blast this weekend. :(

    2. I hate the cold.

    3. The Hawks played really good. Poor Broncos!

    4. We are planning a trip to Miami with my family. I'm so excited!

    5. I bought 4 pairs of high heels :) it's my valentines gift from DH.

    6. Someone mentioned that invisalign really worked. Who was it? I can't remember.

    7. I have no idea what to make for dinner.

    8. My nephew is turning 15 on the 23rd. I have no idea what to buy him.

    9. I'm bored

    10. I should start cleaning but I don't wanna!! Lol
  • 1. I'm so happy that bean is still going strong.

    2. I had onion rings last night, but I either ate too many of them or the lingering smell is putting me off because I swear I can still smell them - and I'm at work!

    3. I'm leaving in 30 minutes!

    4. I'm having breakfast for dinner, but can't decide if I want homemade pancakes or homemade waffles, with eggs and bacon. 

    5. We are also having a ton of snow coming in around midnight. It's off and on between 3-10+ inches of snow, but I'm also hearing its going to be mixing with rain, ice and sleet.

    6. I really hope we don't have another snow day, but secretly, I just want to stay home.

    7. I'm still so full from lunch, but I feel like I need something else to snack on. I just don't know what it is.

    8. I really want to eat at Subways on Friday. I hope DH still wants to go.

    9. I can't wait for Lent. I purposely use it as a reason to get fish every Friday - fish and chips and a fish sandwich from Burger King are on my drool list right now.

    10. I have a voicemail on my machine from someone I'm avoiding since I didn't work on buying something yet. I will take care of it in the morning and call her back.

  • 1. When I told DH about having an u/s last night (post on GP) he stared at me waiting for me to have a break down. I didn't, I'm just numb to it all right now.

    2. I had a bowl of Cotton Candy ice cream last night. It was amazing. 

    3. MIL is no longer on our phone plan! 

    4. Talking to my mom last night about the u/s, she wondered if her Great Aunt Mae had more problems then she was told about. I didn't know about any of this, I was told her side was full of fertile women and thought I was the odd ball.

    5. I get to work from home tomorrow. Which means I'll be in my pjs all day.

    6. I had way too much wine on Saturday. 

    7. It was busy this morning and has finally slowed down. Yay! 

    8. I'm not into my book for book club this month. Ugh!

    9. Everyone keeps asking if I want them to go with me to the u/s. I don't really see the point of someone going especially since they probably won't be allowed into the room.

    I'm thinking this will be DH Valentines Day gift

  • @nightmare_of_beauty My mom went with me to my last and final u/s.  I regretted it, and text H right after that I wished I would've just gone alone.  She didn't come in with me, but I knew once I came out she would ask if everything was gone and everything was okay. I needed some time to process everything, and her being there didn't help it.

  • @brij2006 I'm not looking forward to those questions from anyone. Especially right after, I'm not sure what all they will tell me.

  • 1) I've been an eating machine today. Cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Then scrambled eggs a couple of hours later. Immediately followed by 2 slices of whole wheat toast with raspberry spread and cheddar cheese (do yourself a favor and put a slice of cheese on your jellied toast; it's amazing; my dad got me doing it years ago). I want all the food!

    2) Wow, one was a lot longer than I intended, haha!

    3) I love working from home. I've got a blanket over my legs with another blanket wrapped around my shoulders. So cozy!

    4) YAY for the most amazing u/s yet! 

    5) I can't stop staring at my little gummy bear's pictures.

    6) I hate it when people get their baby's/toddler's ears pierced. HATE IT. 

    7) And my bff just sent me a pic earlier showing she'd just gotten her youngest DD's done. I haven't responded yet.

    8) I need to figure out a snack, but what I really want (fresh melon, or even canned fruit/fruit cocktail) we don't have.

    9) I think I'm out of stuff.

    1. I would very much like to be asleep right now
    2. I realized my "growing" bump yesterday was somewhat due to the massive amounts of Superbowl snacks I ate Sunday and it's a bit smaller today... 
    3. I'm so over being at work today! Tuesdays are not my favorite.
    4. Monday can't come soon enough... really looking forward to my next appointment and hearing the HB again! And asking all the questions I've been able to come up with :D 
    5. I've basically had 2 yogurt parfaits today. I had granola+greek yogurt+banana for breakfast and at work they were having a fruit+greek yogurt+granola parfait bar... 
    6. Why is it so hard not to worry? It seems like the last week before each appointment is the worst. I can't wait to start feeling definite movement.
    7. 100 days until our babymoon! I can't wait to be laying by a pool in the sun!
    8. That's all I've got today...

  • @luckyangel07, I pierced DDs ears when she was a month I think. I've heard that once they get older the more it hurts and well what girl doesn't like wearing earrings? I wanted to save her the pain of piercing them once she was older. She will never remember when I pierced them. Her doctor was okay with it too so I wasn't worried.

    I guess we all just have different views on it.
  • 1. I am SO excited to tell ILs and suggested going to their house this weekend for family game/dinner night where we were going to announce to them but FIL is leaving for Florida on Friday. Womp.

    2. DH works 1st shift and I work 2nd shift, so we can't go during the week.

    3. I'm excited to tell my parents too but nervous because my dad posts EVERYTHING on FB and I'm scared he'd post before I hit 12w.

    4. Since we can't go to ILs this weekend, we'll probably go to my parents' (much longer drive).

    5. I tested twice on Sunday, but DH wanted me to take another one today "just to be sure". He's alternating between excited and terrified.

    6. Me too.

    7. I just had my annual review at work and set a personal record for my score. My boss didn't have any coaching notes for improvement this year. She just basically said to keep being awesome, so that was nice.

    8. As much as I want to get off 2nd shift (been on it 7 years), I know it will be most economical for us to keep on separate shifts for the first few years after LO is born. ::sigh::

    9. Holy shit. I'm growing a LO. Right. Now.

    10. I woke up at 8:45 this morning for no reason and couldn't fall back asleep. My normal wake up time is 11ish, so this was very weird.

  • @wiggslilsis - sorry that doctor was a pain and I hope you get answers soon.  Or, if nothing else, no more cause for concern.

    1. My boss and her boss are out of the office today.  I really want to leave early but I just know if I do one of them will send an email or call and know I'm not here.

    2. I just ate lunch.  I'm full but not satisfied. I hate that feeling.

    3. We're supposed to get 12-18 inches of snow between tonight and tomorrow.  I really hope it's bad enough in the morning to keep me home. I need a mental health day.

    4. Tuesday is my least favorite day of the week.

    5. February 20th (my a/s) seems like FOREVER away!

    6. I slept like garbage last night. I'm usually a side sleeper but laying on my stomach is really comfy lately (probably not for gizmo, though. lol).

    7. I really want a milkshake.  I'm purposely not telling DH because we will be near Friendly's tonight and I don't want him to convince me to have one.

    8. AW: DH said the sweetest thing this morning... He has to put in a lot of OT this week.  We were talking yesterday about how my step son is growing out of his twin bed, so I said at least the OT will probably take care of a new bed. He said, "or something really nice for you." I told him he gives me/does nice things for me all the time and he said, "When you have the world... I might be done." Love him so much.

    9. That's all I got for now...

    I miss friendlys. Bad. And when I went home in December they had closed the one by my house. I was heartbroken. It's a childhood staple.
