Re: Ten Things Tuesday
1. I'm dreading my 6 week pp appointment and getting cleared for sex. I'm not ready yet.
2. N is napping in her swing and making the cutest snoring noises.
3. I feel rested after getting 6.5 continuous hours of sleep last night. Thanks N!
4. I'm glad we didn't have any tornadoes come through last night.
5. I'm tired of having to rearrange our morning schedule to accommodate the air conditioner guys.
6. I really wish they would fix whatever is wrong instead of coming out 5-6 times in the last week.
7. I hope it doesn't rain tonight, because we're supposed to be having a picnic in the park.
8. It's a goodbye picnic for our friends who are moving in a week.
9. I'm sad we won't be able to see our God Daughter grow up since they're moving to Indiana.
10. I need a pedicure badly.

1. I am hungry. Craving a Chicken Ceasar Salad. Mmmm...
2. I am loving the mini van DH and I bought last week. Feel weird driving it but seriously...Love it.
3. I can't get enough ice cream. I wish I could eat it for every meal.
4. I am really curious as to what Kate and William name their baby. I wish they would just announce it already. Jeesh.
5. I have been feeling pretty gross and throw up like once a week now. I am hoping that the MS I had in first tri is not going to show it's face again in 3rd tri.
6. We have our shower date set. Aug. 24th! : )
7. Last night Dh and I didn't know what to make for dinner. We have been trying to eat the food that we have in the house and not eat out. We ended up having peanut butter and jelly toast for dinner last night. Followed by Ice Cream. It was so yummy but my tummy didn't agree with that. It all came back up.
8. I really could go for Taco Bell. A bean burrito with sour cream. Yum! Wish I worked close to a Taco Bell.
9. DH and I just had a burger from Five Guys for the first time recently. HOLY AMAZING!
10. Can you tell it's lunch time and this momma is hungry??? Going to get some lunch now! : )
Hope you all are having a great Tuesday!
After awhile, you just want to be with the one who makes you laugh. - Mr. Big
1. I am so happy that I get to work from home today until my meeting this evening.
2. This means at 10am I get to watch A Baby Story, which I never get to watch anymore unless I am up at 6am. Yay!
3. My three puppies are loving spending time with me right now.
4. One of three pooches is getting on my last nerve. She's a German Shepherd mix, and very dramatic and vocal. Every morning between 6 and 8 she whines and throws her body against the door of her room anytime she thinks I am awake, and I feel like this is going to get worse when LO gets here. I don't know what to do...
5. I have a follow-up appointment today to check on my weight, and I really think that the weight gain was half from water retention and half from LO going through a growth spurt. I've noticed her moving differently now, like she has less space.
I had a lot of BH the other day too. I had about four back to back within 30 minutes. I almost called my OB, but then they started calming down. I'm going to mention it to her today.
We had our hospital tour last week, and I was SO happy with it! They really follow a lot of what I believe in and want (immediate skin to skin, baby in room unless there is something wrong, etc.) so now I can relax and just let everything happen.
I freaked out a little too! It's amazing how the number 30 makes it seem so much closer! Especially considering that our LOs technically could come sooner and still be perfectly healthy.
Yay! How exciting!
Are you afraid your DH is going to pressure you? I'm sure everything will be fine. Just express your concerns to him and let it happen when it happens.
I know he won't pressure me. I just feel bad, because we haven't DTD in so long. I know he's excited and anxious. I just could hold out a little while longer.

1. I have been craving lays plain potato chips so I have Dh stop after work and get a big bag. That is what I had for supper and I will more than likely have for lunch.
2. I was making the bed this morning and found 2 ticks on DH's pillow (he works outside most days and I didn't check him before bed lastnight. I will not make that mistake again.
3. I love law and order SVU and will be watching it all day.
4. It sounds like we will be moving soon and I should be packing but I don't feel like it.
5. I am super excited I got my snoodle in the mail this morning. I can't wait to use it.
6. I go to get my hair cut tomorrow afternoon and I can't wait!
7. Because I am not working my sister thinks I am a automatic babysitter. I now half to watch the 3 kids Thursday- Sunday I told her this is the last time I would do it without getting paid but if she wants me to watch the kids all the kids she will need to pay me.
8. I have been in a crafting slump. I want to craft but have no motivation.
9. My neighbor was mowing his yard this morning at 6:15 and it woke me up who does that.
10. I am not looking forward to our vacation the first week in August. We are going to visit DH's aunt and uncle in Chicago. That would be fun except his dad and sister are going and they don't talk much so it is going to be a long 5 hour car ride.

1. I think I'm getting a BLT from Jimmy's Johns for lunch. You guys made me hungry.
2. DH wants me to call my Ob today solely to ask if it is okay that we ST since having the SCHs. I have no more spotting and only slight intermittent cramps. The last u/s showed the SCHs were shrinking. I WANT ST!
3. Having the CEO in the office this week makes me nervous.
4. They officially raised my meds and my folic acid intake. 100mgs more of my AED and I will be taking 5mg of folic acid from now on. I am disappointed but I know I will feel better after the increase.
5. Anyone have Oreos? I want some.
6. My friends just had a baby and I found out that he weighed 10 lbs 4 oz. She measured two weeks ahead her entire pregnancy and went to full-term. I'm currently measuring a week and a half ahead at every appointment. This petrifies me. Lol. There is no history of large babies in either of their families.
1. Since Saturday I have felt so crappy that I've basically have been in bed, the couch or the bathroom. TMI: is it normal for "all day sickness" to come from both ends?
2. I miss liking food.
3. My dog doesn't leave my side.
4. AW: my H prays for my nestie friends, especially those struggling with IF, at night when we pray for our LO.
5. My DH rocks for doing all the cooking!
6. I got in with midwives! Yay!
7. Monkey made me want potato chips.
8. Kanels made me want a burger.
9. Island monkey on GP, makes me want fries and cookies.
10. In reality, #7-9 would make me sick, so toast it is!

1. DH is a little sad today. One of our employees quit and I don't know why he's taking it so hard.
2. This is going to sound harsh and you all might judge me but I really dislike my ILs. All of them!! They were planning my second baby shower for this weekend and now it's cancelled just because I couldn't sign for SIL to get a new truck! B!tch!!
3. I went and bought an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen yesterday just because I really wanted a slice (they don't sell just a slice). So Now I have a whole cake all for myself
4. I love my cousins wife, she bought me a big guess purse to use as a diaper bag. She said "I know you wouldn't use just a regular diaper bag." She knows me very well!
5. I want Del Taco!
6. We are now looking for a truck for DH. Having only one car is getting hard and stressful!
7. Sg- I hear you on the puppy problem! Ever since we moved into the apartment and being pregnant my dog has been really annoying! I love her to death and I don't want to get rid of her but I feel like she's going to be very jealous with LO and I get scared thinking she can do something after Isis is born.
8. I have no idea what I'm making for diner today. I have no groceries!
9. It is really hot and I'm not liking it!!
10. I'm worried that if I didn't gain weight these 3 weeks that my doctor is going to be worried. I have tried eating and eating but I just don't seem to gain weight. :-/
11. I love DH so much. I feel bad that he has such a crappy family, but on the bright side all my family loves him so much!
I hope everyone is having a great week so far!
That is totally understandable. Your body has been through a lot and you're still adjusting to being a mom. Just try not to think about it, even though I know it's easier said than done (I am the worst at overthinking everything), but just let it happen in the moment instead of trying to set any sort of timeframe.
Good for you. I don't think that's fair of her to take advantage of you like that. Especially since pregnancy is already tiring enough without babysitting three kids for free.
Yikes! That's a big baby. I'm sure you will be just fine though.
at about 7 weeks this was me. I kept reading about how everyone was constipated so I went to the doctor. They did all these tests and nothing was positive. She did say I could take Imodium but I never did.

I'm not sure if it is normal or not. I have IBS, which has been made worse since pregnancy. I get cramps multiple days a week due to the immediate and desperate need "to go" and lots of looseness coming out of that end. So for me I guess it's normal, or at least expected. I'm sure it's still "normal" for anyone else considering that your uterus is growing and putting pressure on your intestines, though I'd still mention it to your doctor. It's definitely no fun.
1. I have a cankersore on the bottom left side of my tongue. It is healing but I haven't been able to eat or talk much for two days.
2. My daughter wants me to read to her all day and because of # 1 it is too painful. I feel terrible because I put cartoons on to distract her from her books. Hopefully tomorrow we can go back to reading and lose the cartoons.
3. I am going to clean and organize Ava Nichol's toys during nap time. I usually do it once a week but I am a couple weeks behind!
4. So happy to say that Ava Nichol has returned to her normal sleeping an eating habits. I think she was teething since she has a few teeth that broke through.
5. My iced coffee pitcher broke last week but we bought a new pitcher over the weekend and now I have iced coffee again! So happy!
6. We need to get little swimmers and a life jacket so we can take Ava Nichol to a family friend's lake house. We are going to go on a boat and hopefully do some swimming.
7. I'm hungry but there is nothing in this house I want to eat. FWP.
8. I think we are going to do some art projects today. I want to get her foot prints
9. DH has a new job but the boss man doesn't know when he wants him to start. They were planning on August 1st but changed their mind.
10. My mom and I crochet and sew baby items. We tried selling them at bazaars last year but the time commitment was difficult. I am super excited to say that we will be selling them at a local consignment shop and selling them to the hospital gift shop as well!

I think that is really crappy of you ILs. Not only to cancel for that reason, but for doing it so last minute. I'm sure some of the guests have already bought gifts, so I'd be frustrated too.
And I'm not worried that my puppy will get jealous in a way that would hurt Adalyn, just that she's going to get more annoying in order to get my attention. I'm trying really hard to make time for them, but I'm also trying to prepare them for her arrival. It's tough.
I'm sure I will be too. It was one of those things where I was like ??. My brother's boys measured just under 9 lbs.
I had one of those the other day, so painful! I hope yours heals quickly!
Yeahmy dog is already really annoying to get my attention. She shakes in the middle of the night and will stand by my door to see if I get up. We ignore her and she goes back to sleep lol! I don't think she would actually hurt Isis I just think she will want all the attention since she used to get all the attention and since she won't get all of our attention that she will get jealous and try to get our attention. I don't know if that makes sense.
It's tough for us and tough for our puppies but I'm sure we will work something out.
1. We had to postpone our move a few days because of the current owners. I'm annoyed but it's not that big of a deal. It might actually give us the opportunity to paint every room that I wanted to paint.
2. Our nephew will be here next week and I'm super excited to see him!
3. I have been thinking about surprising DH with a "baby moon"/anniversary weekend away. We have been fortunate to travel to really beautiful places but we've never just gone somewhere semi-local for a few days and we've always wanted to. He's been working so hard since I've been off from surgery that I would love to do this for him.
4. PSA - Target has all of their maternity dresses on sale this week! There's also a $5 off maternity coupon you can print from their website.
5. I'm annoyed that anytime I plan to get lunch with friends they always say, "Well, you're pregnant so you have to decide!" I know they're just trying to accommodate me but for some reason that frustrates me.
6. I have been hit on more often since being visibly pregnant than before I was pregnant. Fetish dudes I guess.
7. We currently have AT&T Uverse as our cable provider but it isn't available at our new house yet. We've decided not to have cable period because the other options all require contracts and the prices change. Does anyone have any advice about Hulu Plus or Netflix? We've never had either.
8. I registered for a fancy video monitor, which I said I wouldn't do. However, it looks awesome and now I really want it!
9. I think it's rude for someone to criticize what another person puts on their registry. I've had friends and family stalk ours already and say "Oh, you will never use that. My baby hated it." Well, every baby is different and I won't know until I know.
10. I went to the store at 10pm last night just to get Ben & Jerry's frozen yogurt. I bought some household items we'll need for the new place to make myself feel like it was a productive trip.
TudorRose - We have both HuluPlus and Netflix. I love Hulu probably more than Netflix. Netflix seems to be sucking lately on the TV show series. My opinion, HuluPlus is great for TV and Netflix is great for Movies and some older Tv shows.
We also have Amazon Prime which has some TV shows. I have actually been watching shows on Amazon Prime the most lately.
I dont think we will ever go back to having a cable bill. Save so much per month and still plenty of entertaining stuff to watch within those 3.
After awhile, you just want to be with the one who makes you laugh. - Mr. Big
1) Dh's Grandmothet mailed us a check for the travel system and I found one I like at BRU, so we'll be picking it up next week! We promises her we'd put it together and mail her a picture.
2) We leave for Boston Thursday morning! Our hotel is in Cambridge and right across the street from a T stop and has free parking!
3) My contacts are driving me nuts and my glasses are missing.
Baby Trend Expedition ELX, I tried it out the other day and loved it. The stroller is a little bulky, but it's a jogger so I expected that. It has rubber wheels and we love going hiking, so they were a deal maker for me!
Thank you for this!!
