Almost Friday randoms

[babyw15]

It is almost the end of the week! But I would be ok with time slowing down just a bit.. I love the phase LO is in!!

[raven]

Have an appt at 9:30 am to get an oil change and have the truck looked over, make sure it's road trip ready. Thank goodness Starbucks is next door to this place.
Also have to finish laundry so we can pack tonight. We leave tomorrow afternoon. I'm trying to convince my parents to take LO for the weekend. It's really only Friday night through Sunday night and it would make the road trip so much easier. Ugh, my poor DH. Stuck in a vehicle with LO and a pregnant me lol. I hope he survives.

The Ben Folds concert last night was fun, but we're officially old people. I forgot I bought actual seats (as opposed to standing floor general admission) = old people AND we left at the standing ovation before the encore so we could "beat the crowd". ?
Dress rehearsal this morning for the spring concert tonight went well. I'm going to head home in between class and the show to try to catch a quick nap - or, at the very least, take a shower.

Soooooooooooo figured out what the sleep problem is!! What a surprise he is cutting his top molars! I felt this AM and the left one is poking through.... his bottom ones came in super fast so I am keeping my fingers crossed these do too!! I do have to admit that I do love snuggling with him at night but I do love to be able to sleep soundly and have my space on the bed more....sorrynotsorry! LO is with my mom today..she has Thursdays off so when I work on a Thursday she takes him...
Oh and MIL called DH last night and said we should know something tomorrow or Monday regarding the loan!! They are having trouble finding comparable properties so we are hoping the appraiser can figure something out....

The ILs are visiting again tonight. I really want to make dinner even though DH is down for takeout. I'm just in a cooking mood!

To that end-- awesome salad recipes welcome. I want to make a super satisfying salad and blackened lime chicken.

I also got DH theater tickets to see A Streetcar Named Desire for his bday. Classy and fun.

babyw15 we were right there ~3 weeks ago. GL with the loan!
shannjohnston haha, I am becoming an old person too. Hope you get some rest.
raven have fun on your road trip! Hopefully your LO sleeps through as much of it as possible.

It looks like we will have the final loan documents to sign today. Along with the final walk through. We will probably have our keys on Friday !!!

Got a nasty stomach bug last night. Oof. I feel dead today and have to go in for a long work meeting. I hope I can keep my tiny breakfast down.

[kcrus]

raven hope your parents will keep LO.

shannjohnston you aren't old! You actually bought concert tickets. I haven't been to anything like that in YEARS! Hope you get your nap.

babyw15 I hope those molars come in fast. LO has been working on her last one for weeks.

bkmama0 I take chicken, a mix of kale and spinach, quinoa, black beans, avocado, and corn. I do either a chili lime dressing or a citrus olive oil dressing. Filling and delicious!

***possible trigger***
Today is crunch day at work. I was pretty good all morning long then I got nauseous.  I feel crappy. And sad. One of the ladies on my other bmb MC. And I'm the one who is updating our Dec Angels thread. It is very depressing to add more people.  I'm trying not to let it get to me.  
***end trigger***

I turn 9 wks today! And I hope to see a baby measuring on track at tomorrow's appt.  In other news, my DH's nephew in Mexico is constantly calling to see how he can move to the U.S. He's 12. He asked us to adopt him.   And DH doesn't put a stop to it instead says things like "ok, we'll check". Ugh. 

I can't wait until the weekend!

Em has become obsessed with her headbands lately. They're hanging up in her closet & every morning she goes and picks one out and wants me to put it on her. Lol.

Low key day here. We had fun playing outside but then lawn crew showed up. Lo kept throwing a fit about having to stay near me while they were cutting our grass. Someday he'll appreciate the fact I wouldn't let him get run over by a lawn mower, but today's not that day. I finally gave up and brought him inside.

I thought for sure AF would be here, but my spotting seems to have stopped. I should probably go POAS to put my mind at ease. Quit playing mind games with me, ute!

[ashlantic]

raven hope your parents would be able to take your lo! That would be a nice trip for you and YH.
shannjohnston good luck with the concert tonight!
babyw15 fx those molars come in quickly so sleep can get back to normal for you guys. Good luck with the loan.
@bkmama fx for another short and sweet IL visit!
ourcrazynavylife congrats, that's so exciting!
kcrus boo, feel better!
littlelion hugs to you. Fx for a good appt tomorrow!

Spent 2.5 hours at Firestone (car auto care) this morning. LO had a blast! The place was full of rubber tires, not a single thing she can break! It was awesome. I was THAT mom who let her run around. There was another baby there (12 months) she played with for a while. Right after they left, another family came in and she played with their 3 kids! They were very sweet. The mom explained they were a foster family, so they are used to small children.

I talked to my mom again today about taking LO over the weekend. She thought I was joking when I brought it up. I told her I was serious and it would make the trip easier on us. She's going to talk to my dad and see what he wants to do. He's saying he wants to spend more time with her and bond, I think this is a great opportunity and he would be stupid to say no.

ashlantic LO loves the busy board! I still have to have my dad cut off all the sharp, pointy ends on the back, but so far so good! Silly babies. They will be thankful one day we kept them alive from weird stuff. LO tried to sneak into a restaurant kitchen today. Nope, sorry, you're not certified to be back there lol
babyw15 Hope those teeth hurry up!
shannjohnston The last concert I went to I was 7 months pregnant, and we sat on the balcony in back. I never felt like an adult until that moment. lol
ourcrazynavylife Eek! How exciting! LO brings us her shoes and sits down in front, waiting for them to be put on. She knows she can't go outside with shoes. lol
littlelion Good luck at your appt tomorrow!
kcrus I hope you feel better soon.
bkmama0 Good luck with dinner tonight. The salad kcrus suggested sounds really delicious! I would add red bell pepper, for color and I just love them.

[bkmama0]

Wound up making tabbouleh salad

SPOILER: Click to show

LO had a blast entertaining all of her guests but got really sleepy after bathtime. Currently BFing in my dark bedroom and listening to DH and his family talking nicely - it's nice to have guests sometimes

Final walk through is done.
All final loan documents have been signed.
