Five Things Friday
1. I woke up this morning and thought it was Saturday for a minute.
2. Emma seems to be doing really well with her potty training lately, although yesterday she made a big fuss whenever I put her pull-up on and kept saying she wanted to wear a diaper. 
3. There are some things I'd like to do out in the yard that involve raking, mulch, and lots of bending over. I'd really like to accomplish this myself but I'm thinking the belly might make it impossible.
4. That, and the fact that I can barely walk 20 ft without getting tired anymore and feeling like I need to take a break. 
5. Sometimes I actually enjoy watching some of the shows Emma likes on NickJr.

Re: Five Things Friday
1. I have been looking at selling my car, it is 12 years old and has 100k miles on it, it's a great car but it doesn't handle well in the winters.
2. My MIL and FIL decided to get a new car and have offered to give me their 2006 Saturn Vue if I am interested. All I have to do is sell my car and give them what I get for it!
3. Yesterday DH and I successfully sold my car!!! I can't wait to get my new car!
4. Work has been crazy lately and I'm so ready for the weekend!
5. I'm now counting down the days until Labor Day!!!
Serendipity3, South Beach, Miami, FL 2012
1. I'm having a hard time concentrating at work today. It could be because I had three glasses of wine last night.
2. I put on a pair of jeans today that I remember squeezing into this time last year, and I actually had to fish out a belt so they wouldn't fall down.
3. My pants were falling down yesterday because I dropped a pant size and none of my dress pants fit and I keep forgetting to buy a dressy brown belt.
4. I feel like I haven't had a complete summer because I haven't gone Up North at all.
5. I may have to put my head down and take a quick nap.
1. I had my glucose screen this morning. I have bouts of hypoglycemia sometimes, and I definitely felt a little fuzzy when they were drawing blood, so I'm hoping this is a good sign that I'll pass.
2. If I didn't pass and have to go back for the 3-hr, I'm honestly a little afraid I'll pass out.
3. I am now to the point where I have doc appt's every two weeks. Eek!
4. Football season (college) is less than a month away! I'm so excited for it to start up again!
5. My mom, sister and I are going to have our spa day in two weeks. I can't wait for a good massage!
1. I don't think it has sunk in yet that we live back in MI. Still feels like a vacation in a way.
2. We leave for Disney World in 6 weeks and I can't wait!
3. Hopefully H still agrees we can start trying for baby after Disney. If not, then I will be really disappointed.
4. This may sound stupid but I have a feeling we will have problems with conceiving and that scares the crap out of me.
5. I'm getting really annoyed by the facebook page...If you grew up at X, you remember.... I had a friend add me to that crap and with people commenting on it, it fills my mailbox.
1. I was REALLY looking forward to a quite weekend and it suddenly got all booked up. I already feel like Monday will be here before we know it.
2. Ugh. I can?t keep going at this pace.
3. The house really is taking a LOT more than I had anticipated to get it in the condition we want it in. I?m getting tired. And frustrated.
4. I passed my glucose screen but found that I?m a little anemic. Now I?m taking iron pills. I?m nervous about the side effects.
5. I?m considering hiring someone to clean our house but I was planning on doing that myself until baby came. I don?t want people to think I?m lazy. Or wasteful with money. (Not that I think that about people so I don?t know what my deal is.)
1.) Our house inspection is Sunday and I really hope it goes well.
2.) We started the cleaning process at our current home. We tackled one disaster of a closet and it wasn't too bad.
3.) I plan on attacking more closets this weekend. It feels great to purge!
4.) I'm starting to get tired in the afternoons. Yesterday, I was so tired that I took an hour long nap when I got home from work. I never nap!
5.) I'm really trying to eat properly these days but I'm not doing very well at it. I plan to have a nutritious lunch today...I hope that goes as planned
1. I really don't feel well - my head is pounding and it's hard to concentrate. I really want to go home, and I've got WAY more than my 40 hours in for the week, but I do have stuff to do. But a nap just sounds so good...
2. there is absolutely no one in the office today, so I doubt anyone would notice if #1 happened. But I'm feeling guilty about even thinking of taking off.
3. DH and I are are seriously considering making my dream trip to Poland a reality next year and I'm excited at the prospect!
4. I am really looking forward for going for a nice run after work today, work was so crazy this week, I didn't get much in, and I hate being cooped up in the office for insane amounts of overtime - I love being outside!
5. I'm excited my cayenne pepper and tomato plants survived the monsoons we got last week - the planters on the balcony were totally flooded with inches of water and the plants weren;t looking so good for awhile, but they seem to be coming back as the dry out. It's been over a week and I still haven't had to water them becasue they were so saturated.
1. I scheduled my doctors appointments through the remainder of my pregnancy -- that's scary!!
2. I am dreading getting together for dinner with the ILs tonight. I feel completely exhausted and don't feel well -- I could probably use that as an excuse to get out of it, but I'd feel guilty.
3. I have two wedding showers and a wedding this weekend. I am not looking forward to not having any down time.
4. I have been doing budgeting stuff all day at work and I've had enough of it. It's not exactly part of my job, but I can't really complain about it.
5. The girl who works for me is annoying. We moved desks and she sits closer to me. So now she can hear all my phone conversations and she'll talk over my phone call to tell me something she feels is relevant (although it isn't always) to the conversation I am having.
Ooooh!! How exciting!! That's really nice of your MIL and FIL to think of you like that.
Yumm..... Donuts.....
Have fun registering with your Mom!! That should be a lot of fun. Where are you registering?
Congratulations on your raise!!
Woohoo!! That's awesome!! Have you been trying to lose weight, or is the stress of the wedding planning just affecting you? lol
Fortunately with Emma, my baby weight came off in only about 6 weeks with minimal effort, so I'm hoping I'm as lucky this time around too. I'd really like to lose another 10-15lbs as well so I can fit back into all my old clothes that haven't seemed to fit for the last few years.
Hopefully you pass the 1 hr. and don't have to bother with the 3 hr.!! Isn't it so exciting when you start going every two weeks?! I start started a couple weeks ago too and now it's making it all seem so much closer! I'm excited for football season, but only because that means fall is here, and I love fall. And clearly, that means we'll both be that much closer to baby time!! Have fun with your mom and sister!! I've been toying around with getting a prenatal massage myself. I've been wanting a massage forever, and I know I won't want one for a long time after the baby comes because of my CS, so I feel like it's now or "not for a long time". lol
1. I have been trying to eat better so that I could maybe drop a few pounds before my engagement pictures in October. I am eating pizza for lunch.
2. Stress is the theme for this week. It is mostly all money-related (which is also related to the wedding-related stress).
3. Because of #2, I cried at work today when they told me that I can't get my expense reimbursement for almost 2 more weeks because the office manager is out and she didn't tell the girl how to do them.
4. #1 is related to #3, because people in my office ordered Pei Wei and I said no to save money by eating the frozen pizza I had in the freezer. Pei Wei would have been yummy.
5. I hate stressing about money. I am by no means destitute, but I am going to feel that way until next Friday. There were just a lot of extra things I paid for over the last couple of months (wedding gifts, travel, some vet bills, etc.) that were out of the ordinary.
Bonus. I feel bad about complaining about money, and subjecting you all to that for my 5 things. Sorry.
1. I feel like I am finally starting to get organized and it feels good!
2. I really hope I can keep it up.
3. So glad today is Friday, it's been a long week at work.
4. My cousin had a photo booth at their wedding this past weekend and it was so much fun!
5. I hope we have nice weather this weekend so DD and I can spend time at my parents pool (DH works).
You should totally do it. It's not that much money in the grand scheme of things and you're putting your body through so much. DH got me a pre-natal massage early on at Envy salon & spa in Livonia. Even though I was barely pregnant, it was so great. The guy that does the pre-natal massages is a trainer for the nfl and does massages for the football players. He is a-ma-zing. Just do it.
