My pets appear to be training me for a newborn. DH is out of town and I went to bed at 8:30. Those fuckers (two dogs and three cats - too many animals) had me up every two hours. The geriatric dog has to be taken out; the cats are just assholes who want to be fed.
My morning is a WTF kind of morning. Just as I'm almost over my cold, I'm coming down with another one. This is ridiculous. DS also decided for the last two days that it's time to be at 6 am. He always sleeps until between 7-8 which is perfect. And it's supposed to start freezing rain in the next few minutes which will just be awesome for my 40 minute drive to work.
Good morning, M15. I lurked a bit yesterday, but wasn't on much because I had a horrible migraine. I was trying so hard not to call in sick until my maternity leave and was so pissed that I wound up with the migraine yesterday. I slept until about 2pm and then did nothing the rest of the day while H did the taxes and hung up curtains in the baby's room. Oh and my 2nd term for school started and I am freaking the fuck out. I'm taking English Comp II and Principles of Marketing. The marketing class doesn't look too bad, but I have to write a 3-5 page research paper for the English class and need to come up with about 12 different topics to write on for the first week assignment. I have no idea where to even begin.
Now to AW the curtains I got from wayfair. For $56 total (2 curtains in a package), they're not half bad for blackout curtains. The only thing I may do is get curtain ring clips so that they hang a bit lower and are easier to slide on the rod.
coozieinmypurse Animals can be such assholes sometimes. I love my dogs, but their barking is going to drive me up a wall. I'm sorry you had so much uninterrupted sleep last night.
I have a doctor's appointment in 2 hours. I'm hoping that if LO's head hasn't grown anymore, I can get my doctor to agree to leave my pessary in till 37 weeks instead of taking it out at 36+2.
In other news, it's DH's birthday! We've both been sick and miserable all week, but I'm going to cook him a nice dinner tonight and give him a card. He got his present last weekend...he got to go to a UFC fight in Stockholm.

I'm sitting at work with my cup of Lucky Charms on my bump trying to convince myself it's going to be a good day. But I'm not feeling it. Maybe if I dig out more marshmallows to put in my cup my day will look better
I get all my weather updates from jcar here, haha! My manager texted saying I don't have to come in today because the roads are icy. It's my day to work at the surgery clinic down the street - I only drive about 4 miles on one, 25mph road. I'll be ok to drive, but it's so tempting to stay home!! Too bad I need the hours --- im about 25 supervised hours away from meeting a requirement to get my independent prescribing license. Once im done (2/19) I FINALLY only work 3 days/wk at my main clinic -- I have to complete it before baby comes, since my childcare situation is only arranged for 3 days/wk!
Morning all! Add me to the 'not sleeping well' club. I had been doing ok ( just bouts of insomnia) until this week. Now I wake up all night hurting in various places. :/
The good news is that my appointment yesterday went smashingly well, and I am measuring dead on average for growth. Yaaay for not growing a monster baby yet!
H finally got his W2 from work so I can file our taxes! I started last night and am hoping to finish today and get them filed so we can get our refund soonish. I'd like to get some things for the baby with a small bit of it and put some away towards a vacation later in the year too.
And I think I'm finally going to go do my glucose test today. I went to do it last week but when I showed up the lady asked what I last ate and then told me that it could make me fail the test and then I'd have to come back for the 3 hour one. Yea, no thanks to the 3 hour one, so I said I'd go back another day. H is out of work early today so I can leave DD with him and get it done.
coozieinmypurse Animals can be such assholes indeed! Last night one of our cats climbed onto my pillow and got comfortable on my head. Like, his belly was resting on my eyes. WTF dude?
jcar Be careful in the freezing rain! Is it spring yet?
jennypm I love those curtains! I've been lurking Wayfair for a long time but never actually purchased anything. Are they decent quality?
racegurl87 I've been up early the past few days with major heartburn. I should buy stock in Tums.
AFM, DH and I are all over the place in regards to our living situation. Originally we were going to get an apartment but then we thought, if we could find an affordable home in a decent area, we could have equity in something instead of giving our money to someone else. Sounds logical but easier said than done. He found a home in a very desirable area at a great price but the catch is that it's an estate sale and needs some work. Work that we don't have the money for. We'd always planned to use his VA benefits but the VA won't approve the home in this condition so we'd have to do an FHA 203K loan. I just don't know if I'm comfortable taking on that kind of project, especially so close to having LO.
But investment-wise, it could have great re-sale value in the future. For the time being, I'm going to keep buying lotto tickets.
Well, I'm in the "there it went; my last fuck" club today. I am in no mood to play games with my clients who are skirting around the truth and ignoring my questions and then claiming I never sent questions. Honeys, I have the freaking emails and your replies.......this isn't exactly rocket science if the damn lawyer can figure it out.
Dropped DH off at work just now, and I had an insane craving for a milkshake, but nothing that sells milkshakes is open at 7:00 AM and the thought of going to the grocery store to buy ice cream and milk and then coming home to make it sounded like work. So, I went for a Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino instead. Maybe I will get a milkshake for lunch.
jennypm - your nursery is so cute! Great curtains.
jcar - good luck with the commute. It just started to sleet here, too. I'm hoping the temperature is above freezing before I have to go out again in a couple of hours.
darbie914 They are actually great quality! They are blackout curtains so they feel fairly substantial plus they are also really soft. They definitely feel better than Target curtains I've purchased in the past. My only complaint is that the white stripe has a grayish tinge to it and I wish it was a brighter white, but for the price, I am not complaining too much.
darbie914 I know you weren't asking me, but, I ordered LO's dresser and glider from Wayfair. The only issue we had was one of the feet on the glider broke as soon as we had it put together, but I contacted them right away and they are sending us a new one. The customer service was great.
Having Braxton hicks since 3 am here... Call into the after hours OB, waiting to hear back... Was supposed to go out of town for a get together today but I guess LO may have other plans.

Seriously, with a toddler at home, I have stayed sick the last month. Fucking over it!
But lucky you that your kid sleeps til 7 or 8! My kid is 6-630, MAYBE 645.

I think I have everything I need for our taxes and I already filled out our stuff online but I never know if I am doing it correct. My husband has kept his home state of Idaho since he has been stationed here in SC for the military so he pays state income taxes to ID. We file jointly but I have always lived in SC and my state income taxes go to SC. That part is always confusing to me since they want the spouses to be filing the same way. I guess I'll go ahead and submit and if it turns out wrong then we will deal with it.
Today is my Friday, thank god. I'm so over walking 1/2 a mile in the cold ass weather every morning from the parking garage. And depending how the game goes Sunday night, I may take off Monday too if I stay up late watching the Seahawks win hopefully!
My shower is Saturday and originally we were going to spend the whole weekend at my mom's but I think now we will just drive up for the day Saturday. I can barely get comfortable in our king size bed at home and I'm up at least 5 times a night to pee. We have a master bath so I don't have to walk far. But at my mom's, all she has is a double/full size bed that is SUPER uncomfortable to begin with, and I have to go out into the hall to get to the bathroom. I just know I would get zero sleep there and I'm not interested in packing all my shit just for one night since we can't drive up until Saturday morning anyway. I'm just a cranky pregnant lady who wants to hibernate in my own house.

So I'm sleeping in the buff now (less clothes, less itching). And my dogs are getting into bed at around 4 am (they're not supposed to get into bed until about 5 but sometimes we let them crawl in earlier). I was rudely awaken by a paw clawing at my bare ass.
And I ate embarrassingly bad yesterday. I made a huge fuck up at work (sent an email that was supposed to be sent from a VP to about 800 associates), and I binged. I ate an entire bag of Chicago style popcorn, 10 Reese's peanut butter cups, and 4 cookies. I'm not proud.
Having Braxton hicks since 3 am here... Call into the after hours OB, waiting to hear back... Was supposed to go out of town for a get together today but I guess LO may have other plans.
I am waiting for 1 more w-2 for hb which is getting mailed out today. I have started my taxes so I am waiting for that to finish.
I am having dinner at outback tonight for my dad's birthday that was yesterday. So dinner should be good. Then I am get my parents cat to take home while they are away for a few weeks. I got an appointment this morning to be part of a women's focus group at work. So we can talk about stuff like maternity leave and everything involved around it and afterwards.
