I'm back in my hometown with DS for the week, and it's cold as shit here. I did a bunch of outlet shopping yesterday and bought a gorgeous bag at Guess that I'm going to use as my diaper bag this time, plus a bunch of other stuff.
I'm getting snuck in for an u/s sometime over the next few days and can't wait! I didn't get an early dating u/s with this pregnancy so I really haven't seen baby yet besides a quick peek at a blob on a portable machine.

Yes ahsile. I do! I was really upset last night about our board and it took me a long time to settle down enough to sleep. So of course, I'm exhausted today and I hate working.
I'm going to sit down today with a coworker and she's going to help me put together a proposal to come back from maternity leave working from home partially and the rest of the week in the office. I think that would be ideal because I don't think I can afford to pay someone to watch the baby for more than a couple hours a week.
My girls school has early dismissal today but my youngest still goes her normal time for school. I'll be there at drop off at 8:30am, then drop off my other one at. 12:15, back to pick up at 1:35, and then back to pick up the other one at 3:15. It's so stupid.
I had to break out my bitchy to the girls' principal this morning. I have been emailing this man for two flippin' weeks with no response! I appreciate the difficult job that teachers and administrators have, but a teacher would have been blasted - by the admin!- for not responding to stuff like that. Grrrr....
Hoping my bitchiness did some good and I'll get some support for DD2.
On a much happier note, it is finally Wednesday! I'm off on Friday and can't wait.
mischiefmama Let's see pictures of your baby quilt! I've been working on one, too, but I chose the fabric before I was pregnant. Maybe I'll make another one?
I didn't realize how upset I was about the bullshit until I fell asleep. I dreamt about it and got mad all over again. I had just got into the swing of things after two months and BOOM. Just when the fun began for me... Hoping this board is as fun and supportive as the last.
Today already feels like it is dragging for me. H has a basketball game tonight, and he is expecting me to attend. BLAH
I had a good day today. I'm doing a decluttering challenge this year (thought it was a good Idea to get rid of junk before baby comes) so I tackled the bathroom. I must have gotten rid of over half the cosmetics, lotion, old shaving cream, bath toys, soaps, etc, as well as scrubbed and cleaned every surface, even the bath rugs. My countertop looks delightfully sparce and everything is hidden away in an organized fashion. So. Nice.
Of course, I had to ask my husband if he noticed anything and he just replied that it looked like "you might have thrown some stuff away". Sigh.

I'm really excited today because I'm trying my hand at making Hungarian goulash for dinner! I love trying out new things in the kitchen, and its one of my husbands favorite meals so we will see how that goes.
DH had the stomach flu or gastroenteritis or whatever, and now I have it. Home sick from teaching and hoping I left enough to cover 90 minute blocks. Also trying not to barf every 20 minutes. You moms with HG have all my sympathies. This sucks.
Yes, mischiefmama!!! I haven't figured out the tagging and all yet, but let's see the quilt! I've been working on one for my nephew, but it took me over a week to get 1/4 panels completed kudos to you!

The nesting instinct has been hitting me HARD. I've completely reorganized our bedroom, and I have paint chits taped to all the walls. We moved into this house in the summer, and it SO does not feel like our home yet. I still feel like I'm living in someone else's house.
I have to say, I kind of like the proboards look for now. It's a little more inconspicuous compared to TB. I don't have to worry about people at work knowing something is up because there is a huge picture on the right side of my screen of pregnant ladies and such. Also, since it's more plain, it doesn't even stand out to people walking by. I miss TB, but this will work.
OMG I found you guys. Sheesh, that was a lot of work.
Just working from home today, recovering from surgery. I think I should be done with the hardcore narcotics...and just down to managing with boring Tylenol. I feel better about that, anyway. I did NOT expect the epidural injection site to bother me nearly as much as the cramping, though! Hopefully today's the worst day, and then I'll start feeling relatively human, once again.
Ugh. I've edited my profile to have a pic and a siggy and am super frustrated frustrated that it's not showing up in GBCB. Someone want to tell me what I'm doing wrong??
mffrll Wait... your midwife said a HB of 160 might mean a little girl...? What? Sorry, Ive just never heard of a medical professional of any sort reinforcing that OWT.

gw3nny it's actually not for me (or my progeny) it's for a little girl who lost her mother last week. Call it hormones, but I HAD to make a blanket for her.
