Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1. I have a scratchy throat that I am 98% sure is from allergies BUT Ava Nichol is also having allergy issues so there is that small part of me that is freaked out we caught something.

    2. I have this fear because I am getting surgery on Thursday and I am pretty sure I can't be sick.

    3. It is totally normal for momma and kiddo to have the same allergies, right?

    4. FWIW my eyes and nose are also itchy and neither of us have a fever. Benadryl helps Ava Nichol which makes me think allergies as well.

    5. We are moving this weekend. We have to get out of this house. There are mouse nestsall through the hheating ducts under the house.

    6. I need to figure out what is for dinner so I can take something out before I head over toclean the house we are moving into.

    7. I also need to call the power company because our tenant had all the utilities shut off even though she was supposed to pay them through the end of the month.

    8. I am excited to set up Ava Nichol's room/play room :) I want to make centers like in a daycare/preschool setting.

    9. DH might be selling his little car this weekend because he also has a little pickup. It is good because we could use the money but I am a little nervous because the car is so reliable and the truck has had some issues. It will be okay.

    10. If Ava Nichol is still having allergies next week I am going to take her to the doctor to see if they can give her something non-drowsy. I give her a half dose of benadryl and it works for the symptoms but makes her very grouchy. If I give her a whole dose it doesn't make the symptoms any better than the half dose but makes her all dopey and dizzy and sleepy but she still doesn't sleep.

  • @wiggyslilsis, what kind of surgery are you getting? I hope you don't mind me asking.

    1. Our downstairs neighbors are being so freaking annoying. They pounded on our wall like if we were running or partying.

    2. We were having dinner.

    3. I can't wait to move!!!

    4. This month and May are going to go by so slow I bet you!

    5. My poor pup is sick. She's had tummy problems since yesterday.

    6. We bought dh the truck of his dreams.

    7. He got a 1954 Ford f100. He's like a little kid all excited. Lol. He'd weird.

    8. I told him that's his birthday present, his father's day present, and his Christmas present. Lol.

    9. I'm so happy for cuddle. :)

    10. Ok I gotta get to cleaning and stuff. :(
  • 1. I'm so relieved everything went smoothly with the closing yesterday. I'm officially a homeowner!

    2. Holy sh*t; when did I become a grown up?!?!?!

    3. I had such a great time with my sister, BIL, and nieces on Sunday. I hate that they could only stay for a day.

    4. Not only did my sister bring me a bunch of clothes and stuff for LO, she also brought one of my shower invitations.  They are PERFECT!

    5. I can't wait to get started on reno at the new house, but am not looking forward to all the little things that need to be done, like yard cleanup. \

    6. I'm excited to have three months off in the summer so I can spend some time in/around our new pool, but am afraid I won't get to take advantage of it as much as I'd like to since, ya know, I'll have a newborn and stuff.

    7. My step son is with his mom this weekend. It will be their first weekend together after a full two weeks at our house. I'm really anxious about how Sunday night (when he comes back) will go, but am also really excited to have some QT with DH.

    8. I had a conversation with a woman (who I'd met once before, I think) who was clearly drunk a few days ago. I don't like conversations with drunk people to begin with, but she was particularly annoying. She was telling me how she had gained 70 lbs when she was pregnant (she's pretty tall and thin). I was telling her how I've gained about 15 lbs so far and know I'll gain a decent amount during my third tri, but I'm not at all worried/stressing about it. She kept saying, "Oh, you'll gain A LOT more towards the end! That's how I ended up gaining 70 lbs!" Shut up, lady! I'm sure as hell not going to gain 55 lbs in the next 13 weeks! I just told you I'm not stressed about it; why are you trying to make me? STFU! 

    9. I think #8 was long enough to count for 8, 9, and 10...

  • @pandpmeant2b congratulations on being a homeowner!!! That's very exciting!!! And don't listen to that lady!! Every one thinks that your pregnancy is going to be just like theirs, it's obviously not going to be. Everyone is different! I only gained 14lbs my entire pregnancy due to MS the whole time and i don't go telling every pregnant lady that they are going to be sick for 9 months like i was. Blah tell her to suck it!
  • 1. I'm tired.

    2. I need to find motivation to do a deep clean of the house.

    3. I was supposed to start spring cleaning this weekend, but it was all thrown out the window when DH decided to stay home from work Saturday.

    4. I'm having fish tacos and a yummy salad for dinner tonight.

    5. I think Lexi finally figured out what patience is. She has been repeating it back to me in sentences and she knows that she is bad if she throws a tantrum. I'm really hoping this is helping her get back on her nice track.

    6. She has also been complaining of headaches lately. I'm worried that it is actually something wrong. I'm speculating that its because she doesn't get enough sleep. DH and I are going to set up a new routine for her to hopefully get this corrected.

    7. If the new routine doesn't work out, I'm going to bring her to the eye doctor to see if she needs glasses. It doesn't seem like she needs them - at least not how she does things - but I had issues with headaches in elementary school and that's why I needed them.

    8. I have lost all motivation to do anything at work.

    9. It's been a soggy mess outside. Now its starting to become windy, but at least the rain stopped.

    10. I irrationally upset that I have to wait 4 weeks for my a/s. I was hoping I would have been able to be seen before hand. :(

  • 1. I think i'm getting sick. I woke up with a cough, scratchy throat, and runny nose.  it could be allergies but I don't think so.

    2. thursday we have a meeting with our doula!

    3. DH watched the business of being born with me last night. he got very heated about it. he liked it but wasn't a fan of the intervention hospitals place on you.

    4. my hands are swollen today for some reason, nothing else.  I'm trying to kill some serious water right now. I was out of the office all morning so I didn't drink my usual amount.

    5. I picked up several options for window treatments in the nursery and want to try them all out tonight...pictures to come soon:)

    6. I cannot wait until I don't have to work for 3 months!!!

    7. I'm over people today and would like to take a nap

    8. I ate too much lunch

  • 1. This day is not passing fast enough. Usually when I'm in the office the day goes by quicker.

    2. I've decided that I did enough work for today and will procrastinate for the remainder.

    3. I have a dentist appt. after work for a cleaning and really don't want to go. When DH and I moved I never switched so it'll take me about an hour (at least) to get home afterwards.

    4. DH has to work late all week so that means I have to pick up the slack around the house. At least he gets paid for it.

    5. We're taking our weekend 'babymoon' this weekend. I'm excited and shocked it came up so fast!

    6. I wore a skirt to work today and don't know why I didn't sooner. It is waaaay more comfortable than any kind of pants!

    7. Is it a compliment or insult when someone tells you "You look so pregnant." I'm having trouble deciding...

    8. There have been more comments and questions about my growing belly and maternity leave today than I'd like. Mind your own business people!

    @PandPMeant2B Congrats on the house, so exciting!!

    3. OMG- 9 days from induction

    4. I am excited because DH and I decided to put our top five names in an envelope at the hospital. The one that matches is it !

    5, I am still freaked about a potential bug. Can I repeat that I hope it is just dust!?!

    6. I let H watch way too much tv. I know we have to cutback but also know I should wait god major changes for sehle post baby

    Take her for an eye exam anyways. We want to see them at age 1 and then before kindergarten. So if she hasn't gone yet, we'd want to see her anyways (plusalso the headaches)

  • 1. I really want a mini chocolate chip muffin.  Has to be a mini one though....they taste so much better.  :)

    2.  I really need to get L on a bathing schedule.  We usually bathe him every other night but sometimes it is right after dinner and other times it is before he goes to bed. We confuse the poor child. 

    3.  I am so excited for Easter this year.  I know L is going to understand the concept of finding eggs once he sees a prize in the first one he opens.  

    4.  I need to start planning our trip to NYC.  We are going the beginning of May and we don't even have the hotel set-up yet.

    5.  I have a tendency of waiting until the last minute for everything.

    6.  I have no idea what we are going to have for dinner.  I got turkey bacon out last night for today but that's it.  I don't think we want to eat an entire pound of just bacon.

    Thank you for letting me know that. I'll just have to make the appointment for sometime this week. I'm hoping that it's the lack of sleep.
