1). I found my bag of maternity undies and bras! I'm so excited. I though it maybe got lost in the move, but now I can wear skivvies that fit and not have to go buy more!!
2). Why do they call it an "unborn fetus"?
3). I feel like going Alaina morresette and walking around nekkid, not only in my living room, but the whole house. I'm so hot right now and miss my AC.
4). I decided to let my parents come and stay for two weeks after baby is born to help out. They offered a few weeks ago and I just now made a decision. I hope they don't drive me too nuts.

Re: Randoms
1. I have a horrendous summer cold/allergy thing going on. I'm miserable but have to save my vacation as much as I can. Plus, my IL's are here so I doubt I'd get much rest at home anyway.
2. I have meetings today I do not want to attend. I hate going into a meeting knowing it won't lead to anything.
3. My FIL cut our cable (well, internet) line yesterday while digging in the yard. I'm glad it was HIM that made the mistake because if it had been any of the rest of us we'd never hear the end of it.
4. My MIL is making chicken and dumplings for dinner tonight. I should really starve myself today in preparation for a totally disgusting pig out this evening.
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
1. I went and visited one of my friends who has triplet 2 year olds and a four year old. Instead of being great birth control, it has put my baby fever into high gear. Now I just have to get DH on board
2. I have stuff I should get done around the house today, but I feel like being L.A.Z.Y.
3. I started school again last night to begin finishing my Masters degree. This is the second time I have taken last nights class. I dropped it the first time. It isn't looking any more promising this go round. Ugh.
4. After doing the Lincoln half marathon in May, I got super lazy. So, I thought I would sign up for the Omaha marathon to get me re-motivated to train again. It didn't work. I have not done a damn thing since May 1. The half marathon may kill me. Literally.
5. I feel like a huge fat a$$, but clearly (see #4), I don't care to do anything about it.
6. I am so proud of my DH for doing things and trying things that my ex-H never had the balls to do. I should probably tell him that more often.
7. I have two more weeks working on the crew that I am on at work. I am terrified of going somewhere "new" but SO ready to be away from some of these guys I currently work with.
WTF is up with east bound dodge these last few days?! It's been backed up a lot farther than usual and I've had to take 680 down to Pacific cause it was backed up so much by Westroads....am I missing something? There hasn't been an accident or construction?! I'm guessing it's just all the schools being back in session now, but FFS! Terrible way to start the day.
If one more person looks at our house and says "It's too small" I'm seriously going to lose my sh*t. Do you not look at the listing and see that it's only 1000sq feet? WTF do you expect for $100,000 in Wahoo frickin NE, a mansion? Good effing luck! It's such a huge waste of my time and emotional energy when we have a showing and they end up saying that. Freaking do your research, and if you know you are in a 1200sq foot house and want a bigger house, than obviously our house is not going to work for you! GAH!
1. I have literally no work to do and besides a few projects here and there it'll be like this the rest of the year. fml.
2. Bc of #1 I am browsing other jobs. The pay is decent and I have really good benefits, but I can't see myself working here forever. It really sucks because I was ready to find a longterm job. Hopefully by spring I'll be somewhere better.
3. I haven't worked out all week and hoping I still have a loss at WW this week.
4. DH has a job interview tomorrow at a really good company. I'm sooo excited for him. This will be a huge pay increase and something he is interested in.
5. Since I've been so bored at work I've been reading younghouselove a ton! (Hopefully I don't get fired for this) and it has inspired me to fix up our house. We plan to move in a year or so but I want to nail down paint colors so when we move I know how I want to decorate. I'm having fun but this shiit is expensive!
YGPM about this.
ygpm back!
1. Ian is sleeping in the Holly wrap while I work. This is really awesome. I am getting paid to work and cuddle my little babe.
2. Dh has a new work schedule for a few months and I hate it. I have to get both kids, myself and the pets all taken care of and ready in the morning. It sucks and I so feel for single moms/dads and people who have to do this all the time.
3. Dh and I need a night out sans kids. I am not comfortable enough yet to leave Ian with MIL even though I was at this age with Elsie. I think it's because she has to take care of FIL and I am worried that she'll have to call the ambulance or something for FIL while watching the kids.
-I've never been to CVS, but DH and I went there last night and stocked up on soda, dog treats and other random things they had great deals on
-super excited for the air show this weekend, friends who have a great view from their backyard are having a party with a margarita machine...LOVE!
-I am addicted to Tastefully Simple Bacon Bacon..I have been putting it on everything. As a side note, I could eat Lean Cuisine Spinach Mushroom Pizza WITH Bacon Bacon on top for every meal!
-Teen Mom was kind of lame last night. I'm becoming less and less of a Macy fan.
I agree. I used to love her but she is making stupid decisions. I also wondered how Amber is getting all these dates....makes me guess she is a pretty "easy" girl b/c I think she is kind of trashy. Farrah also needs to get those bangs worked on. Looks like her daughter cut them.
* I HATE that I am stuck at work while my baby is a daycare especially because he's not feeling well.
* I slept a total of 3 hours last night - in our recliner with M sleeping on me.
* Weaning sucks @ss and it makes me wonder if I made the right decision.
* I have 2 lbs left before I'm to my pre-pg weight.
* I am beyond irritated with an immediate family member right now, but if I say anything I think it will cause drama so I'm keeping my mouth shut.
This is a great question. You don't have a "fetus" after birth. Hmmmm...
I had an interview yesterday for a position I REALLY want. It will allow me to stay home with Hadley during the day but still have adult interaction a couple nights a week. Fingers crossed!
We moved here for DH's job (from OP Kansas) and I'm really starting to miss my family. I'm feeling isolated because after we moved and had Hadley, my friends are NOT in that place and really want nothing to do with me now. True friends huh?? Since that has happened all I want is my mother and sister and they are 4 hours away =( I think I get grouchy and take it out on DH sometimes and I feel bad.
I get married in 51 days and still haven't gotten everything planned out. Hadley is just so much more entertaining and this wedding junk is stressful. I just wanna marry my best friend, and am not the kind of girl needing the huge party.
Sorry randoms turned into vent. On a brighter note, we took some family pics with Lindz last week and I cannot wait to get them!
Mine:
* While I love that I can see what's sold at E's sale, I'm still a little sad that all their stuff is officially leaving forever.
* I'm racing in Hastings this weekend, and I'm super bummed that my relay team doesn't seem very into it. It's going to be a longass 10+ hours in a minivan around central Nebraska watching corn... soybeans... alfalfa... corn... soybeans... alfalfa... corn... soybeans...
* I thought I hacked the crap out of my bangs last night, but they're surprisingly adorable this morning. Love that.
* I'm taking a mound of clothes to the Lidia house this week, and I'm happy to support a great organization AND get back my guest room.
You can always come hang out with me! I'm working on your pictures lady...can't wait to get them all finished for you :-)
-I am supremely frustrated that we are dealing with the hail storm damage to our car for at least the next month. Our month old car was totalled by hail and subsequent mold/water damage since we were out of town. It's been hours of trying to get the insurance company out here, and it won't be until next week-estimated damage is around 30k...without replacing any electronics.
-After a minor (okay, more like major) freak out after my appt with our midwives last night and a subsequent 1.5 hour long conversation with one of them this morning, I finally feel a little more at ease with this pregnancy. I don't think I will fully be "confident" about it until after 30 weeks or so, but at least some of my delivery/post-delivery concerns have been eased.
-I totally miss being able to walk out in my backyard in my PJs and not have neighbors saying "hi!" Blerg...I never thought I would admit it, but I miss the country.
-We are going to try and brave NFM this weekend....eeek
I have never felt more like a baby then I do now being pregnant---with migraines---and a cold----and BLAH! I feel sorry for my DH over all of this.
My SIL made me a handstampped necklace and I got it yesterday in the mail. I bawled. Its exactly what I wanted!
School starts again Monday. I REALLY just want to be done and not looking forward to these ethics courses at ALL!
Me and my DH have a different schedule (work/sleep) than everyone else...I understand this...just tired of people complaining about it.....if we could change it right now we would!
If my Boden order doesn't get here soon, I'm going to freak. I've been waiting patiently. The outfit I plan to wear for DS' birthday party is in that order.
Things are a rollercoaster at work. Ugh, why can't I have a low(er) stress job.
I keep thinking that if I don't get pregnant soon, I'm going to have another end of summer pregnancy, which I would prefer to avoid. But I should take what I get, b/c the alternative of not getting pregnant by the end of the year is not okay.
I'm weaning from BF and my b00bs are in very sad shape. And they itch. Weird.
I stopped getting my nails shellac'd and now I'm kicking myself. I really have a bad habit of picking my nails & cuticles when I'm stressed, so now they look like crap. If I pay to have them done, I don't do this.
Courtney did an awesome job on all of DS' party stuff. If you want to see, go to her FB page. SO CUTE!!!
