Wake Up!!

[akraus2015]

What's everyone up to today?? I'm having a bagel and going over my readings for Mass.

It was hard to get up today. It's cloudy and yucky here. Bed was too cozy.

[akraus2015]

I did my grocery shopping yesterday morning, and already "cleaned the house" (I use that term loosely), so I have nothing else on the to-do list this weekend. Yay!!

[wannabmama]

I went to the barn early this am and it was sooooo cold. I'm thawing out with some tea now. I need to work pretty much all day and try to do a bit around the house. Yesterday was fun day...today...not so much. I do plan on napping at some point though, which at this point in my life is a fun high point.

Naps are the highlight of my day. I'm secretly very excited about naps with my little squish when I'm on maternity leave. Assuming he actually sleeps...

[wannabmama]

I am relying on my super napping skills to get me through the first year akraus2015 I figure they have to sleep sometime...

[juliayadda]

I am on my third episode of the Walking dead going to get caught up after this one.

Considering making toast for second breakfast.

[wannabmama]

I'm planning second breakfast too juliayadda I had a Dunkin' wake up wrap this am but that was just a tease...

[PirateCat]

It's 10:30 and I already took a nap after breakfast. 😉

[morwen]

Food prep this morning and then H and I are going out this afternoon for some adult time while MIL watches DS.

Also I'm 24 weeks today, yay V day

[akraus2015]

I made this mistake of opening my work email this morning. Now I'm cranky.

[juliayadda]

DH is still sleeping 😳

[marshian]

I made Oreo donuts this morning. Thanks, BabyStandish! Now waiting for baby wearing meeting to start. My first one. I am bad at meeting new people.

[marshian]

akraus2015 - Why did you open work email?! I refuse to look at it on weekends.

[marshian]

jennykat - Maybe true labor soon?!

Icheck in with my boss on the 2nd and 4th Monday of every month, and he likes to see notes a day in advance. I usually do them on Sunday evenings but thought I'd get a jumpstart so I had the rest of my day free. Not a good idea, because now I'm stressing about work and probably will for the rest of the day.

[akraus2015]

I'm hoping church puts me in a better mood. We'll see if I return less cranky. My moods are so hard to regulate these days...silly baby hormones.

God I hope so

Fingers crossed for you!

MH made French toast, bacon, and potatoes for breakfast. So yummy! We let DS suck on a piece of bacon and he loved it!

[LadyNymeria]

Plus the dog was happy because he got to eat the piece of bacon after DS was done licking it.

Good Morning I slept in a little today. Then H comes upstairs to tell me his mom will be here in an hour....she showed up 15 minutes later so I quickly jumped in the shower and came downstairs to socialize.

[wannabmama]

Ugh I can't focus on work at all. I need to do it, but I also need to do 1000 other things. I need a housekeeper.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Good morning. I've had a bagel + two waffles and I'm strongly considering a second bagel. I'm STARVING.

I woke up at 4:30 this morning and my body was wide awake. Ended up having to get up and get a granola bar after laying there for an hour because my stomach was eating itself.

I did finally fall back asleep and got another hour maybe hour and a half of sleep before the toddler monster woke up.

No plans for today. Just hanging with my bestie until she has to leave.

I think I ate a few mouthfuls of kix every time I got up to pee last night. Cannot stop eating.

Woke up and organzied the Lula Room as we had an event last night. DH and I are now heading into town to have brunch and return the rental. Hoping for a nap this afternoon!

[easilyunamused]

Ugh warning, rant below.PDQ

My Mil is awesome and I love her, but sometimes she's overbearing. She's throwing me a shower, and I'm really grateful. But she's hounding me about adding more stuff to my registry in a certain price range. I have about 60 times, almost 40 of them are under $50. I don't want to add a bunch of stuff I don't need/want so people have even more options.

I think I have less than 30 people there. So I feel like it's an ok ratio? There's always gift cards and clothes, right? Do I need to add more things?

[onesweetworld]

Watching Grace & Frankie season 3 and napping on the couch sounds like a wonderful Sunday.

[ourcrazynavylife]

easilyunamused I wouldn't. If they can't find something they want to buy you then get a gift card. I think you've got plenty of options on your registry.

[wannabmama]

easilyunamused I think that sounds like plenty of options. And I find people often pick up some clothes/small toys, etc. on their own. Does she want you to add more lower priced options? I feel like under $50 is pretty realistic and 40 options at or below that price is more than enough.

Yes, she said 25-50 dollars. I have plenty of options for that. We only have the crib, glider, and stroller on there for us to remember what we wanted. I wonder if we should remove those.

ETA: I didn't want to add a ton of clothes because I don't need them as much, and I know people will always purchase those as a fall back. I'm not expecting people to really get us a lot, since it's an out of state shower. We fully plan to purchase these things ourselves.

Yep, which is when I got to shower or eat or do other things that needed to be done. Well, provided baby wouldn't need to be held to sleep (we had many of those days)

Many afternoons were spent with baby laying on our bed watching the fan while I napped.
