Happy Saturday! Randoms

[jwinct]

Good morning, ladies! What's up for today?

I'm enjoying a cup of coffee while DD2, DH and I watch Annie (the new one) - we love this movie and watch it a lot. It just happened to be starting when DD and I came downstairs. It's one of those movies that always puts a smile on my face.

I'm going to try not to leave my house unless absolutely necessary this weekend because

[adouces06]

jwinct +1 on not leaving the house. That cold weather is no joke.

Plan on having a lazy day today. We might go have breakfast with my parents next door, other than that nothing exciting planned.

Yesterday was a tough day for me because I felt like crap all day. If I feel the same way today, I will be napping when DS naps. If not, I'm going to try and get more cleaning done. DS' birthday party is at our house next Saturday, and I am starting to get stressed that I won't have everything done in time. And of course, so my husband can have next weekend off, he has to work this whole weekend, so I have zero help from him. Blah.

I am still in bed. Heavenly.

Our pipes froze this morning, but I found out about it on Facebook because our awesome tenant took care of it with a hairdryer all by herself without waking us up for help.

Coffee sounds like a really good idea.

[jwinct]

adouces06 - I really hope you are feeling better today. That really stinks that your hubby has to work all weekend and can't help you. Fx that the nausea stays at bay.

[adouces06]

k2tog the amount of jealousy I have towards you is insane right now. What I would give to have been able to lay in bed another half hour! DS had other plans though.

That was so nice of her to do that! I would still be in bed, too, possibly, if my back didn't get so sore from laying in our bed. I always end up getting up early on the weekends because I'm uncomfortable. Someday we'll get a new mattress. Someday.

adouces06 DH and I have a deal. He gets up with her Saturday mornings and I get up with her Sunday mornings. So we both have a chance to sleep in on the weekend.

Aww... Yes, you need a new bed! We slept on a super old bed for the first year we were married and it was amazing when we bought our new bed. Such a difference in comfort!

I'm kind of dreading our bed when I'm further into this pregnancy. It's a pillow-top (never again) that we bought probably 10 years ago. It helps a little when we flip it, so I'm going to make sure we flip it wen my belly starts getting big. I think this time I'm going to invest in a pregnancy pillow. I've already been scoping them out on Amazon.

Just got out of bed, and I'm a FTM so it was my cats doing. But now I'm cuddled under an electric throw, in a very quiet house.

I wish I wasn't leaving the house this weekend. I don't do well in the cold. I'm actually allergic, thanks to a genetic condition. (Thanks, mom!) But, I had flowers preserved from my aunts funeral last March and they're all ready to pick up so we'll go do that, and then my SIL along with my niece and nephew are coming into town and we'll go get dinner.

Tomorrow my best friend will be stopping by with her DS for a bit, so I'm really excited to see her. She's due in May with DD. She's one of those, that if her H looks at her she's pregnant.

As much as I don't feel like doing anything, I'm glad I have somethings going on until Monday.

It's cold here but not quite as cold as that picture. I wouldn't go anywhere either

We have a Valentine's Party for the mom's group I'm part of at 11. I still have to get the food I'm taking from the store. Also my favorite consignment store is having 75% off, so I'm debating to go look at some maternity clothes..

[ksyknelvr73]

Still laying in bed but about to get up and go for a run. It is 30 degrees instead of the 27 it was forecasted to be (haha). Then I will be enjoying a nice cup of coffee in silence - DH took the boys out for the morning.

We have a birthday "party" at my parents' house today for DS1. It is just family and only a cake and ice cream type of thing, but it should be fun. I can't believe my firstborn will be 5 years old tomorrow. The time has flown by.

We do this same deal. It is seriously the best.

I just waxed my own eyebrows for the first time and it was not a complete disaster!

Add me to the list of loving game of thrones! I saw people were talking about it in the Friday randoms. Can't wait for this season

[kelpsu]

We went to market early this morning and it was cold, but empty, so that was great.

We also alternate nights. We started alternating nights when DD1 was a newborn. We took turns putting her to bed, getting up to feed her, etc. (We bottle fed our kids. Well, I BFed DD1 for a month.) We continued with DD2 and still do it. We take turns putting them to bed and getting up with them (if need be). I agree; it's the best!

[jwinct]

I just made homemade banana nut muffins. They just came out of the oven and smell so good.
I also have homemade chicken stock simmering. It's almost done and ready to be made into chicken noodle soup. Yum.

I wonder if the rest of the day will find me this productive.

I wish we could do this! I breastfed, and since we're in Canada, I had a full year off, so DH had an excuse of sorts for having me do all the wake-ups. It was pretty tough though, sitting in the rocking chair with a nursing baby at 3 o'clock in the morning watching him and the dogs sleep. I'm not looking forward to doing it again!

We already had to leave the house this morning to take back the rental and pick up our car from the dealership. Luckily the fix was still under warranty (always get an extended warranty) so it didn't cost us anything. DH swung us by Panera for breakfast and bought me an extra souffle to bring home for when I get hungry in like an hour.

Now I'm on the couch, curled up under a blanket with decaf tea telling my stomach to settle. In a couple of hours we have to go out and get to UPS to pick up DH's computer now that it's fixed again. Bleh, too cold, dun wanna.

[adouces06]

I can't shake this sleepiness. DS is napping, so I am just curled up under a blanket on the couch watching HGTV. Luckily my stomach feels much better than it did yesterday, but I feel like I ran a marathon. It was around this time when I was pregnant with my DS that I was constantly exhausted. Totally not looking forward to this...

I'm glad you're feeling better, but that sucks about the exhaustion. How long did that last for you the last time?

Not too long thankfully. Like a week or two, which isn't too bad. I just wish it wasn't hitting me when I have SO much cleaning to do around my house!

adouces06, a friend told me her doctor basically said she IS running a marathon based on how many calories/how much energy her body is expending to build the baby.

Great excuse to sit on the couch all day then!!!

[Deleted]

Im staying on the couch all day. It's -25C outside without the windchill. Also I'm sick again and still feel nauseous. I seriously need to eat some real food, like some fruits and veggies.

[adouces06]

Managed to get myself off the couch to clean my living room. Target is having a 20% off sale on rugs, and I desperately need one for our living room. Going to go out later and get one!

[macaronmama]

Still on the couch from earlier. I am trying to reserve energy to do some yoga later tonight. I'm too tired to even go upstairs and bring the laundry down to fold. I hate how dirty the house is getting because I need to sleep/nap so much.

[jax1182014]

Omg... Just made the mistake of running to Shaws to get some sweets in just a sweatshirt and yoga pants.. I had to leave the bags of food outside because I thought my hands were going to fall off
