Happy Valentine's Randoms!

[BabyStandish]

I can't choose just one sooo....

[BabyStandish]

I like this one too

[BabyStandish]

It's raining here so not sure what we are going to do yet. Cold and rainy days make me want to do nothing. But we will probably go to the gym later this morning.

Happy Valentine's Day, ladies! DD looked so adorable going to daycare this morning in her Valentine shirt, with her little Valentines for her classmates and her card box. She was so excited for the party. Since she only goes to daycare on Tues and Thurs, she always misses the holiday parties so this will be her first one. The first thing she said when she came in our room at 5:45 this morning was "I'm awake because I don't want to be late for the party!"

I have a 2 hour training this morning and then hopefully a quiet day the rest of the day at work. MH wanted to go out to dinner with me and DD tonight but I told him everything will be packed so we should just wait until it's just me and him this weekend when DD is at my in-laws' house for the weekend.

Skipping out on stuff today in favor of a quiet day at home. DD is in a good mood so far, so hopefully we can have a restful and happy day.

We don't celebrate Valentine's day, but I have a serious hankering for chocolate. I still have some of my Christmas chocolate I could eat but Hershey's kisses, M&Ms, and Reese's peanut butter cups all sound waaaaaay better. I'm definitely stocking up on the discount candy sometime in the next couple of days

I'm waiting for my MFM appointment.

DD1 woke up excited for her party at school too. She insisted on hand-making all 28 cards (stickers, drawing, etc) so I'm glad that is over ;-)

I put their little treats together after I dropped them off at Daycare for later. Some cute heart things from the gift shop at my work and Trolls. DD1 whined all weekend about watching it because it kept showing up on the OnDemand list....she'll be pissed she can't watch it tonight because she has ballet.

Goal for today is researching acupuncturists....I need some sleep

We did our V-day dinner on Sunday when I had time to make a nice meal. Steaks and lobster tails (on-sale!). They were delicious!

Also just got my GTT results back, passed with flying colors and then some.

[PirateCat]

BabyStandish, ugh Tom Brady.

I'm not sure what our plans are for tonight. I think we are going out because we have a lot going on at home, but we don't have a reservation so we'll see where we can get in.

The flooring guy is coming today to give us a quote on sanding and finishing the nursery. He said he'll be able to do the work this week and I am super excited.

[PirateCat]

H put in this adorable cat door into the closet where we moved the litter box into. I'm thinking I need to sew adorable curtains.

I'm feeling so dumb for scheduling my 28 week appointment, and therefore my GTT this afternoon. I want Valentine's Day treats but I don't want to screw up my blood sugars!!!!

[txcatlady]

Im waiting at the OB for the next hour, had to do my GTT test this morning, it was more liquid than I thought in that little bottle lol. Fruit punch flavor wasn't too bad though.

PirateCat that's so cute! Definitely make a curtain 🙂

[lupincat]

I'm relaxing while DS naps and then we're heading to Target just to waste some time.

We don't do Valentine's Day since both H and my birthdays are in April but I did get some steaks to make for dinner, which I never do so hopefully they turn out good!

[lastkiss]

I'm doing my GTT right now. The orange flavoured drink was ok but now I feel weird. I hope that's not a bad sign.

DS was super excited about Valentines Day today too. He's apparently doing a craft for us but wouldn't tell me what it was yesterday because it's for Valentines. Lol

[nikonine]

I was up from 2:15 to about 4:45 this morning- wide eyed awake...WTF. I did sleep in until 7, so not feeling too bad, but hope I can make it until at least 9 tonight. Luckily its a relatively easy day of work today eith minimal thinking. H is making me dinner and we'll have banana splits for dessert!

[txcatlady]

lastkiss I'm doing my GTT as well and I'm nauseous now.... ugh 30 more minutes

[hpnegirl]

Lots of ladies doing their GTT today. Good luck!

lastkiss the drink makes me feel weird, too. Eat a form of protein as soon as you're able. I crashed hard from it

[lupincat]

lastkiss The GTT makes me feel off for the rest of the day. I usually treat myself to an egg sandwich or something afterwards and try to sleep it off.

I'm still grouchy that I had to do it in the first tri and still have to do it again in second tri. *bitter*

[fikmama1986]

Happy Valentine's Day, ladies!

Not doing anything special by our house today, cranking hours at work and am able to come home for lunch to see husband and LO for a couple hours.

Good luck to everyone doing their glucose test today!

[BabyStandish]

PirateCat omg that's so cute!!

Good luck everyone doing their GTT today!

[sleepymonkey]

Good Luck to everyone doing their GTT today! Mine was done on Thursday and I'm still waiting for the results. I keep praying I don't get a phone call from them because that means I'll have to do the 3-hr.

I just checked the patient portal and baby boy's official eviction date is now scheduled for April 28 at 9:30am! They kept telling me it would probably be Monday 5/1 so I was surprised. I'm also not 100% thrilled because it's one day short of 39 weeks. I know it shouldn't make much of a difference but I want him to cook for as long as possible (though I am measuring a week ahead). Do you think I should say something at my appt next week?

[PirateCat]

Boo, it doesn't seem like we can get the floors done this week. H feels really badly about it so I'm trying to shrug it off. I'm glad we got the room and closet cleared out anyway.

And our crib got delivered today but I guess it'll just hang out on the porch for a while.

[hpnegirl]

sleepymonkey my understanding with RCS is they want to go by ultrasound measurements coupled with your EDD. Since he's a week ahead, they probably don't want to chance you going into labor on your own. Personally, being only one day shy, id leave it, but I'm also okay with delivering any point past the 37 week mark

[icedtea]

These vday cards are splendid. We don't really celebrate, but I'm now thinking we should have arranged some chocolate covered fruit.

PirateCat, I love it!

jennyelf, congrats!

Good luck to those taking the GTT! Mine is March 1st. I have the fruit punch one, so glad to hear it's not totally terrible txcatlady.

[icedtea]

sleepymonkey, I might leave it since it's just a day, but if you're uncomfortable with it then you should at least bring it up. At the least, maybe they can ease any concerns.

PirateCat, sorry about the floors

Our car seat base came today! A few friends apparently pitched in and got us that and our carseat. I started tearing up, lol.

[sleepymonkey]

PirateCat, I love the cat door! I'm trying to convince MH to put in a cat door (or actually have one installed) in our pantry door. The litter is in our laundry room, which is off the walk-in pantry so we always have to keep the pantry door open. Our pantry is not neat and organized so I would prefer to be able to keep the door closed. Of course my silly cats would probably just sit outside the cat door and cry for us to open it. They're not the brightest bulbs.

[sleepymonkey]

hpnegirl and icedtea, I'll probably ask them the reasoning behind scheduling it just shy of 39 weeks but that will mostly just be to ease my mind. I can't believe that I will be having this kid in less than 11 weeks!

I was worried our cats wouldn't use the door but they both figured it out right away. You should totally do it. I wish we had a laundry room or someplace better to keep the litter box but I think this is the best we can do in this house. 

[icedtea]

Hey, I'm Amethyst now!

[sleepymonkey]

PirateCat, I actually hate the litter boxes in the laundry room, mainly because our laundry room is small and I absolutely hate walking in there and feeling litter on my feet. I always tell MH is we hit the lotto, I would buy a house where the cats would have their own room for their litter and food and water bowls. I have actually been eyeballing a house that is for sale in my neighborhood because they have the perfect place for a "cat room" but I know I couldn't get MH on board with getting a bigger/more expensive house.
