Re: AW/Confessions/UOs/etc.
I will confess that even as an avid beer geek, I have zero interest and/or plans to attend any Philly Beer Week events. Why limit my consumption of new stuff to just one week? I would much rather visit out new places when they are not crowded (3pm on a Saturday is our go-to time) or offering a limited menu (i.e., just one brewer).
Other confession: I have no real desire to run a marathon. I've been told its the "logical next step" from my fellow running friends, but I really don't feel like committing to the 20 mile training runs and eliminating races from my life. It would suck royally to stop having FUN with running (see also: trail running in the dark with beer hydration stations) b/c I would be constantly thinking about "what if I get hurt--it'll ruin my marathon training."
So I'm going to be a total AW today.
I forgot to tell everyone that the phanatic faces got us on the jumbo tron at the Phillies game I went to two weeks ago and when I got home that night I found out when we were on the jumbo tron they were taping a shot of the screen so we made it on TV. I have no life anymore so this was pretty exciting stuff for me lol.
My husband totally surprised me and got us tickets to see Ray LaMontagne in Sept. I can't wait!
The kid is walking. He's been walking for about 2 months now but he would only take a few steps then drop back to crawling. He's now walking the full length of the apartment so I think it's only a matter of time before he's running around.
Today is the first day, after being sick for over a week, that I can breathe and it's a beautiful day!
We will go to events I'll bring a baby because I dgaf and p always seems to wind up working and I get bored.
This week has been the suck. I'm slammed at work, my one boss is being a patronizing ahole, I haven't had a solid night's sleep all week between the bathroom breaks and the neighborhood noise (last night, our neighbor's alarm clock (!) went on and off for half an hour at 2am).
Add in some bizzarre dreams (I'm at a dance making out with Ryan Reynolds in one, I'm fending off some chick with a knife and a gun in a spa in another) and I REALLY want to have a drink after work and I can't!
On the bright side, Baby D finally cooperated during my second attempt at a sequential scan and all looks well.
#1 12.11.11

One of my besties just announced she's pregnant, again. I'm pretty sure 98% of the people I hang out with regularly are pregnant. Soon I'll be drinking in a corner alone.
Also, I can't deal with all the pregnant secrets I have of who can know and who can't. Its making my head hurt and I'm constantly fearing I'm going to slip up in front of someone.
I need a drink!
My little nuggets
AW: My baby can finally crawl! Took her long enough, but it was early enough to avoid physical therapy. Still no teeth though.
Confession: I have the worst mom brain ever. It makes me feel like an idiot. I have never felt so stupid. I try to hide it but it's depressing and embarrassing.
I swear that all of my good brain cells were sucked out of me and put into the kid at childbirth. I feel disconnected and stupid in conversations anymore. And, YAY Emma!
I love this and will remember it forever
Do you forget words? Like normal words you know?
FI has a job interview today for something PT in the summer that hopefully has the potential for something FT in the future.
I hope he gets it because he is miserable at his job and it's rubbing off on me. And he keeps one-upping me when I complain, and it's driving me batty. Ex: Me "today was rough" FI: "I know, today x, y, z, happened, etc...". Just say "sorry you had a bad day". I am allowed to have bad days too, you know.
He's just really unhappy and it's hard not to take it personally.
Yes. I will also be in the middle of a conversation and just stop and totally forget what I'm saying or talking about. It's like blacking out, without the fun of getting drunk first.
I confess I am sick of weddings and wedding events. Sick sick sick of them. I am leaving for Pittsburgh in a few hours for my 2nd weekend in a row and I just want my life back. This is our 2nd week of our CSA and we can't eat any of it again. I have literally been on the go for months now with showers and bach parties. I am so thankful to have all you ladies who are already married (except Beagle - but I puffy heart you anyway!) There's fun stuff going on in our 'hood this weekend - flea market, art show, farmers market, beer events, UGGGG and we're missing all it. Plus, with DH working every other weekend, he has to take vacation for these weddings which means he has literally NO time off for anything else.
Hi, my name is Jewels and obviously my wedding was not inconvenient for anyone.
Oh the upside, I am getting Primanti Bros this weekend!!!
I am just really really exhausted.
I also have lost many brain cells and can't remember anything at all.
I puffy heart you too. I figure I've been through so many weddings for my friends, they owe me one!
And Val&Ryan, that's awesome!
Really? That shocks me. Maybe I need to get out more
I had an effing AWFUL time at my 3hr glucose test today. I got the tunnel vision right before passing out and the nurse hustled me to a bed, just as I broke out into sobbing because I felt like such ***. The nurse called DH who was at home w/my IL's so they watched the kid and he came over. I had a massive headache then threw everything up half hour before the test was over. I told the nurse, "That better work (she did all 4 blood draws) because I'm never doing that again."
My AW: my awesome husband who's been working doing stuff around the house on his week off, and still has time to be my knight. (awwwwwww....)
Mir, that totally sucks! I hope you feel better, I know the three hour kinda sucks
This is probably an UO, but it annoys me when pregnant women do nothing but touch their stomachs. At this point the reasons I touch mine are because it hurts, I'm trying to hold it up, or I'm just lazy and there is a nice little shelf to rest my arms. I don't understand why someone has to be constantly rubbing themselves; it baffles me even more when the person doesn't even look pregnant (not sure why, but it does).
Also, an eviction date has been set for June 24th at 9:30am; either this baby turns or it will be cut out. Oh and at least one positive thing comes out of a breech baby: I didn't need an internal today at the doc.
DD: 6-24-11
EDD: 9-20-14
At my cousins baby shower yesterday one of her highschool friends was there. Said friend is 3 mo. pregnant. She was rubbing her barely there stomach the ENTIRE TIME. It was like...ok we get it! You're pregnant!
My little nuggets
