Your Thursday Thread

[LizInFL]

Morning everyone! What's going on in your neck of the woods today?

[buckyb]

Good morning! I just dropped DS at daycare and then we are off to pick up our uhaul. It is going to be a very busy day. Happy Thursday!

[kleigh]

Well we did end up taking a half day yesterday, but left with only enough time for lunch and a trip to Home Depot - still better than being cooped up inside. I had my first ever chicken and waffles and they were delicious but ended with heartburn

I'm kicking myself at work now because I have a lot going on and I could've gotten a lot of this done yesterday afternoon. Bright side is that my two colleagues aren't here so at least I don't have to deal with their distracting questions/requests/conversation.

Our business revolves around employee health plan renewals which are almost always the 1st of the month, so last week/first week of each month is rough.

Today is the last day of preschool for my two middle kids (the last ever for my 5 year old!), and tomorrow they have a school-wide celebration. Then it's officially summer vacation.

[LizInFL]

sweetmelissa5 I don't think I realized you had 4 children already! Is your 5 y.o. starting K in the fall?

B's last day of preschool was last week (although he's only 2 so it's not his last-last, haha). It's bittersweet. Part of me is selfishly happy to not have to jump up, make lunch, etc., but the other part of me misses the break! Plus he has asked a couple times to go to school He's doing a couple 'camps' this summer through our church so hoping that will help keep him busy and give me some downtime!

[LizInFL]

DS went to bed last night a bit under the weather and slept til almost 9 this morning, so I was prepared for the worst, but he seems to be feeling OK now that he's up and about. And I got to have coffee in peace, which was lovely.

Quiet day here...we are meeting some friends at the park around 11, and then may swing by and visit my parents. DH has some work function this morning but anticipates being able to leave afterwards; not sure what's on his agenda for the afternoon. I may enlist him to cook dinner

[tallblonde]

Morning - we are doing an operation turtle rescue for the daycare class pet, so I'm reading up on how to set up the tank we bought after school.

Then we are driving to the beach tonight and I've packed absolutely nothing. MH isn't going so I'm the driver, so could be a long night. Maybe I can nap at work since no one is here..

[dashook]

vinolove oh man, it's borderline disgusting how many snacks I keep in my purse. I'm noticing that with this pregnancy I don't become hungry gradually; I go along just fine until I suddenly and abruptly become super-hungry, and with super-hunger I also get super-nauseated. So snacks are a must! Specifically I have a trail mix that always does the trick (it's walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and craisins).

[dashook]

It got up to 93 yesterday (after being in the 50s on Tuesday), and our house was pretty stuffy at bedtime last night. I ended up sleeping in almost nothing, with no covers.

I did okay last night but tonight we have guests staying with us so I don't think last night's "outfit" will really fly. As ridiculous as it is to do this in New England in May, I might have to ask DH to put an AC in our bedroom window tonight.

[dashook]

On a related note, I guess I look obviously pregnant now because a lady I don't know asked me on the elevator this morning how I'm doing with the heat and commented how she always feels so sorry for pregnant women in hot weather.

It's a relief honestly because I was starting to get a little upset in spite of myself with how many people that I do know, who see me often, have been reacting with complete shock when I tell them my news. Like...do you actually think this is what I always look like? I know I'm not exactly super skinny but come on!

[aggiebug]

Hola. I have a recheck ultrasound in an hour. Nothing serious just had some faint spotting due to an old implantation bruise and they want to confirm it is gone now. If it wasn't vaginal and I didn't have to take DD who is in rare form already this morning I would be much more excited to see this babe. Oh and I also have to go back tomorrow for my actual appointment, kind of a pain they couldn't combined them.

[dashook]

GL aggiebug!

Good Morning everyone! 

I am SO ready for the long weekend.  Woke up thinking today was Friday, so that will make for a long two days!  Me, H and DS all leave for a little San Diego vacation next Friday, so that is probably not helping my motivation.  It will by son's first time on an airplane, first time to the beach and lots of other fun stuff, I am really looking forward to it!  

Last night he came up to me and laid his head on my belly and goes "Mommy, can the baby hear me?"  And and I said yes, and he goes "hi baby".  Heart melted.  

[kleigh]

Here's to a good appt aggiebug !!

dashook It was quite warm here too yesterday, 90 degrees - I just wasn't ready for it in May lol. Serves me right for complaining about our winters.

[dashook]

rory5280, I like the new avatar! Also that is too cute about your DS. Sometimes I wish mine were just a little older so he could understand better about the new baby and maybe be excited for it. All he knows now is that people react when he does his party trick of patting my belly when I ask him, "Where's the baby?"

[cheshie6]

It's already hot here! I went to get mail this morning and was sweating by the time I got back to the house from the mail box. I'm not a summer (humid summer) person.

[goldenlove3]

dashook I made H turn on our AC last night. It was just so humid out and open windows wasn't helping at all. He was really hoping to make it until June but pregnant wife wins!

[sweetmelissa5]

LizInFL,Yup, my 5 year old will be starting kindergarten in September, and my two youngest will both be in preschool. So for about two months, I will have two mornings a week to myself (and then I'll have a newborn and start the cycle all over again).

starbuck27 and vinolove,, Thanks!

[ClassyMrsA]

I woke up thinking it was Friday, too and was so sad when I realized it's only Thursday. At least it'll be a 3 day weekend and then only 3 days of DH being at work next week (though he's giving the SAT next Saturday).

It's not that hot here, but it's sooooo humid. Today's average is apparently 80%. I wish it would just rain already. L needs to get her energy out, but going to the park is right out. Once we move we'll be near a bunch of indoor play areas, but for now not so much. Just gotta make it another hour until her class at the gym. I also hope the headache I woke up with goes away soon. Totally taking a nap today. I've skipped it the last two days, but I've got to get more rest today. Tonight I want to go get my hair cut. It's way too long.

[sophiegrace]

Saw so much vagina today. So so much vagina. I assisted with an Achilles repair that was with local anesthetic. No reason ever that I need to see skin above the knee let alone someone's lady bits. She thought she was a hilarious little hot shit. Bitch, no.

I have no words.

[sophiegrace]

Fridays that end up being Thursdays are the worst ClassyMrsA!

[sophiegrace]

Good luck buckyb!! Hope the move goes as smooth as possible!

Chicken and waffles sound amazing kleigh!!! Sorry about the heartburn, I was just thinking about ordering some tums. Our plan renews June 1st! Thanks for the reminder...I need everyone to sign their paperwork like yesterday.

Congrats to your 5 year old sweetmelissa5!

Glad your DS woke up feeling ok LizInFL and the sleeping in allowed for a extra few quiet minutes for you.

I could feed an army with the amount of hidden snacks I have EVERYWHERE vinolove. It's ridiculous. And delicious.

Hope you love the haircut tgrimes1980!

Enjoy beach tallblonde! Are you passing through my way? Looks like perfect beach weather, finally.

[aggiebug]

Wahoo it was abdominal after all! Baby boy looks great and was incredibly photogenic she got most of the measurements required at an anatomy scan she was so excited. She said they are rarely this photogenic at 16 weeks and she may as well get the while she can, but we will still get a 20 week scan. Oh and my bruise was resolved the tech seemed to not find this recheck very necessary which was my thoughts but I guess nice to know it's gone.

Holy shit, I hope I didn't do that with my Achilles repair.  I know I was telling the dr about wanting to drink margaritas but I don't remember much after that...

Normally we would do twilight sedation at the very least with this procedure. At the very very least. I've never done one with straight local. So the doc did a nerve block and went to town. The only med we gave her pre op was an antibiotic so I can't even blame Valium or Xanax for this one. I would have never okayed her for our office if I had done the consent paperwork.

The stuff people talk about as they're going down is the best part of our anesthesia (sedation) days. Alcoholic drinks are by far the most common thing asked for. A lot of people get weepy talking about their SO's. And then you get the random person who requires you to leave the room so you don't pee your pants with laughter.

[tallblonde]

sophiegrace yep! We are going to the Jersey shore, so we will hop on 301...typically that's fine once we get over the bridge. I saw there was rescue on the EB side today, scary.

Did the cupcakes arrive?

[sophiegrace]

How incredibly exciting aggiebug!!! I forget..I'm sorry...did you know going in today that it was a boy? Did your DD's mood turn around?

We did know thanks to panorama testing, but I am not sure I said anything here about it.

DD was good there thank goodness. She got so bad this morning I ended up putting her down for a nap and picking her up before we left. That and animal crackers ftw.

Some angel that worked at the bakery intercepted them from UPS this morning and is having the bakery send out a fresh set tonight to arrive tomorrow. I had sent an email after receiving the UPS email asking to just clarify the arrival date because someone needed to be there to sign for them. I got a 'yes, they'll be there thursday' email almost immediately which prompted my post last night. Well...around midnight the same lady emailed me back after she noticed what the cupcakes were and asked me if they were for a reveal or a baby shower. I was awake and let her know my original plans, but that it was all good. I woke up to a plethora of emails from this lady, the store manager, some poor girl who probably doesn't get paid enough, and the shipping coordinator. I will definitely be ordering from them over and over again now just because of how above and beyond they went for me.

Enjoy jersey!! That's where I went every Memorial Day weekend growing up. It's been too long since I've been back.

[tallblonde]

sophiegrace that's great!!!! How sweet of them to go above and beyond. I frequent them a lot but had to stop watching the show bc the girls bugged me and I didn't want to stop going, ha. Everyone is going to be thrilled!
